Law terminology specifically can seem pretty archaic because there’s a high need for terms to be stable over time. In other fields and everyday speech terms can change over time. There’s contracts signed decades or even centuries ago that are still binding today. So it’s practical in a sense if the words within and those used to discuss legal dealings don’t change over time.

Eternity on Android passes with flying colors.

Off topic but:

[…] said Matthew Hindman, a professor at George Washington University who studies digital emails.

How do you study analog emails then? Print them out?

After watching the original video I started putting some additional powder at the bottom of the loading tray every wash and it works great. Clean dishes ever since, no pre rinse necessary. Can recommend 👍.

That sounds like a useful feature. Which apps are you using?

How do you tag another user? Did you just mean you left a mental note or is it possible to assign custom tags to users somehow?

Is that what the Steam Deck uses? It’s pretty useful.

Iceland’s president holds a largely ceremonial position in the parliamentary republic, acting as a guarantor of the constitution and national unity.

That’s why.

The 35 year old requirement seems bizarrely high to me, I can’t see why a smart and capable 32 year old should be prevented from running for the office. A minimum age makes sense, but it’s weird that it’s far removed from when most states start to legally treat kids as adults (anywhere from 16 to 21).

Oh nice, I had a lot of fun with the demo back then. I’d describe it as basically XCOM 2 but with super heroes and you can pull off a lot of fun combos when your heroes work together.

You can export all your bookmarks to a single JSON file. it’s a format designed for storing and exchanging data between machines just like this.

Also good for making local backups of your favorites.

Pretty much. I keep a sheet of aluminum ready to put on top in case the outside is getting too crisp while the inside still needs more time.

I much like Quod Libet. It has a clean, functional interface to manage your local music collection. Also support for Plugins is nice.

You can create Boolean Logic filters like (played < 10 times AND genre = classical AND composer = Mozart) which I appreciate. And some of the included tools like being able to automatically create meta data tags from file names (for instance <artist> - <album> - <track>.mp3).

It’s the best replacement for Music Bee (Windows only) that I’ve come across.

Yeah the locker/towel thing would be a habit especially if you don’t actively think about it.

You may not have a strong daily routine but all humans have habits and it’s precisely because you don’t actively think about them a lot that it’s can be hard to become cognizant of them.

They also include behavioral preferences such as scratching your chin with your right hand when lost in thought 🤔, calling your girlfriend ‘honey’ frequently, consuming certain foods/beverages more than others, separating the trash, opening up social Media on your smart phone when bored, or taking your jacket with you when you go outside.

Those are not the same for everyone but everyone has them useless maybe some severe medical condition is present.

love the pro wrestling style energy in the 2nd panel 🤼‍♀️

Fair point. Although I suspect you could still kill people that just happen to be walking by the buildings and such.

Tacking on: as far as translation of ancient texts is concerned there is also a selection bias. It is far more likely that an important formal document endured the times than some every day scribble. Of course a political treaty is crafted, conserved and replicated more carefully than a note someone left for their neighbor. Both the skill of writing and the materials required were much rarer and access more prevalent among the upper classes. Finally important formal documents are more likely to be translated precisely because they are important. Imagine that in 2000 years from now you would be one of the few scholars capable of translating English. You would be much more to likely to study and translate the declaration of independence than some mundane Twitter post.

Blowing up buildings with people inside them is evil.

Let us hope that one day the US, or any democracy for that matter, will come together to implement ranked choice voting.
