The idea that medieval peasants somehow had more free time than the average modern american still is absolute bullshit as far as I’m aware. Unless “necessary preparations for survival” count as free time just because it’s not contracted work (it doesn’t that’s not what free time means).

The thing you’re missing here is that a lot of people are not capable of reading the animals’ body language. Hence, permit. Also the part where just taking some wild animal home as a pet isn’t ok, and to actually care for one you would usually require some pretty specialized knowledge.

I also fully agree that dogs above a certain size should require permits because holy fuck I know most of them are pretty chill and at most kinda loud but they still scare the hell out of me and I can’t trust their owners to control them in all cases. And while knowledge of how to handle them is more common, some people still fuck that up…

They have to shut off if there’s too much power in the grid, it might be that

I recently got a used gaming laptop for the rare times I’m away from home for a while (next time likely for christmas) so the plan is to put linux on that from the start and see how it goes. And maybe getting diagnosed for adhd and getting on medication will mean I actually have the motivation to switch from windows before it becomes absolutely necessary, though thankfully I don’t get any start menu ads since I got rid of those with WinAeroTweaker, so I’m mostly happy with it.

Though I’ve been having some weird crashing issues that look like broken ram but aren’t, so if I end up replacing my mainboard from that (because at this point idk what else it would be) I’d likely have to reinstall windows anyway, and at that point I’d just switch.

I didn’t mind 7, some things I even thought were great compared to XP (like the search).

I can tolerate 10 well enough still given the de facto convenience of running windows for gaming, but the moment end of service comes around next year I’m switching to linux. I also have to use win 11 at work and it’s just infuriating how much worse it is. And conveniently Linux gaming got pretty good in the meantime, and I’ve been told I can now even set up a windows VM with GPU passthrough that activates when I start the VM for the cases where Linux just won’t work (though idk if that’ll work when the issue is anticheat, but I don’t play anything where that’s relevant anyway).

They can delete 6.5 billion accounts without claiming they are active users.

Airtight packaging? I don’t see many things not sold in plastic wrapping.

It might be per household vs. people with a firearm registered to them personally? (Note i have no idea how firearm registration works in thr US but it’s the first explanation that comes to mind since your source is specifically “adults living in a household with at least one firearm”)

Afaik they all kill you by being introduced into your bloodstream, the difference is mainly how they’re able to accomplish getting there. So any poison will kill you if you inject it, but venom will mostly be safe to eat barring any wounds.

K is just shifted °C though and just removes what’s nice about it with freezing/boiling of watee while requiring 3 digit numbers for every temperature you’d encounter in daily life. I think I’d rather use Fahrenheit

Think of an alternative scenario, not transportation but rather duplication. The original stays where it was, but a copy gets created elsewhere. To the copy, it will seem as if it got transported there. To the original, nothing will have happened.

Now you kill the original.

The only difference is the timing of ending the original.
