Campus would be better because of the mountains adjacency bonus

Ian also happens to be dead

Thanks for the reply, I think it clarifies the key differences.

Isn’t it hypocritical to point this out while most of the people here support the DPRK, which is ruled by the Kim family since 1948? Asking in good faith.

After reading Catch-22, I was kinda disappointed to learn that it doesn’t portray Heller’s experiences in WW2. Obviously I didn’t expect the wacky satirical stuff to be true, but I believed that the portrayal of the soldiers as jaded, looking to dodge as many missions as possible to get home alive was. But he stated that it was not at all like this, and that it was an enthusiastic, patriotic war (or something along these lines).

If you’re talking about the bus route then you just don’t know what you’re talking about. Like others have said it already happens in Moscow and DC, and I can add my own experience with Athens.

Obviously if they want to do repairs or maintenance they don’t close one station, they close part of the line and replace it with an express bus line. Yes it’s slower and will make traffic worse but it simply must happen at some time.

Going by your logic, creating a subway system in a city with traffic issues is a “lose lose” because the roadworks will make traffic worse for a couple of years.

but at what cost

it’s not like you can just close down a station

It’s pretty much like that, then like someone else said you provide a bus route between the two stations. It’s an inconvenience but has to happen at some time.

For smaller repairs like painting you an paint half of the station while keeping the other half operational, then finish the job some days later.

firing squads are probably a better idea than the lethal injection

How is that, in any way, answering the question?! You could mention some of those features…

Can’t he do it temporarily via executive order?

Of which he had 4 in total to do something about abortions, so I fail to see how that’s an adequate answer

Dude, I’m not even from the US. My question is, in my opinion, an obvious one, at least to an outsider to the US political system. Why do you have to vote him again, when he’s in power now?

Why can’t Biden do something to safeguard abortion in his current term?

If he can’t do something on his current term, why will he be able to do something on his next one?

Is this supposed to be a jab at linux? Because it’s wrong. The kernel is updated at the same intervals as Windows / Mac updates, if not more frequently. Popular DEs are also maintained and frequently updated.

About popular programs: Firstly, this is not strictly a problem of the OS, because they can’t force developers to build their apps for Linux. However, developers can do that, and with the advent of flatpak they can build for that instead of hiding behind the excuse of not wanting to support multiple distros.

Secondly, this is almost irrelevant because the majority of people use computers to either browse the web, or use office suites, or play games. In linux, you can browse the web just fine, use browser-based office suites that are becoming increasingly popular (or LibreOffice/OpenOffice) and, with steam, you can play most games that don’t have a linux build.

All in all, the minimum everyone with a semblance of computer literacy should do is dual boot linux alongside windows and use that for their daily driver.

#ExUSA = 70 new states when?

How is that not a conclusion? Just because capitalism is about having free markets doesn’t mean that price caps have no place in it. To me, it’s the same as saying that regulations have no place in capitalism.

I also don’t see how I was being adversarial.

This doesn’t seem like an unsolvable problem, so I don’t understand why someone would conclude that price caps “never” work just because they can lead to some problems.

Having to wait some time to buy an apt seems like a better choice than being priced out for a much longer period (or forever)

Do you also consider remembering to take your wallet and phone with you a hassle? You’re creating an issue where there isn’t one.

But OK, have a smartphone and use it to take photo-notes, I do that too. But I also try to use libre alternatives for software even if they are not as good as their proprietary counterparts, because that’s the right thing to do for a lot of reasons.

Also funny that you’re mentioning lawnmowers, because tractors have a huge issue with proprietary software, with farmers having to resort to hacking their (bought!) vehicles in order to repair them, to avoid paying thousands of dollars to John Deere for “authorized” (read: extorted) repairs.

You agree that the corpos are “evil” and yet you do nothing to avoid using their software, you’re not willing to be discomforted in the slightest for a good cause. That’s worse than Stallman’s approach, in my book.
