I agree with you that most probably without the US the Allies would have lost the war, but to the press secretary's point about how they would be speaking German right now if it were not for them, I highly doubt that Germany could have held control over the entirety of Europe after the war. They would most probably collapse from revolutions/rebelions, but who knows what would have happened.

I'm pretty sure it came from the Portuguese word for tea (chá).

Money

Tops are pretty much standars size on all cans I'm pretty sure. So that part should be constant.

Got my first today

I mean, that just sounds like the problem you would have with anyone radicalised by religion. If you had a hyper Christian or Jew I doubt it would be much different. Perhaps the problem there might be that many more Muslims are ardent believers than Christians, so the atmosphere makes people more inclined to be radical as well. Or maybe it's just a case of correlation does not equal causation.

Whilst this in theory may hold, people are social animals that live in societies with rules and norms and that typically have only one partner. If half your male population dies, you're not gonna have guys go around having sex with multiple women just to make up the difference, you're just gonna have a lot of single women.

There's no point in blocking everything. I'm interested in what's happening with Trump and the US, with Tesla, the occasional Linux news, but when my feed is 90% "Why Linux is actually good", "Musk/Trump bad", "Tesla shares in EU down again" for the fifth time, it gets annoying. Blocking stuff is too crude a tool.

Not sure if how they work in DuckDuckGo or Brave, but in Ecosia they have predefined bangs for some sites that open that site's search when you write them. E.g. “#g woodpecker" would open a google search page for the result woodpecker, same for #yt for YouTube.

I cringe at schools and businesses that previously banned shorts that decided allow it as part of the "uniform" because it got so hot outside.

Stargate is a private venture tho? Not funded by public money.

I'm just sad that Zelensky needs to keep good relations with the US so that he can still get something from them, because I'm sure that otherwise he would have completely destroyed their arguments there.

It still has some of the same problems as the comic, though not to the same extent, it doesn't need to be a standard for the comic to make sense, it's also about market share. Having yet another browser has the potential of diluting the market and making people just go for the default.

Damn, Ukrainians testing the Eastwind device

You do need to take into account however that biking might reduce the need for other form of exercise which would counteract the increased emissions. But either way I'd bet that per km biking is vastly more efficient, as in orders of magnitude more efficient.

Logitech doesn't have a version of their software for Linux so I can't modify my G502 wireless mouse and Pro X Wireless headset (horrible name) at all nor, more importantly, check their battery life.
My Xbox controller's dongle doesn't work either (tried to install the Xone driver but couldn't get it to work with secure boot after many hours of trying).
I never got to trying to run VR on Linux cuz I always got frustrated before I could get to that, but I've heard a lot of times that it just doesn't work well or at all on Linux.

Then you add on all the small things that I like how Windows does more than Linux (or at least any distro I tried) and I just can't see the point in switching.

My OS is supposed to be a tool that lets me use my computer how I want. When I have to spend half of my time tinkering with it to do what I want it to do, I don't see the point anymore.

Half my peripherals not working/having linux software support is a major blocker for me. Plus a ton of QOL stuff or ways of doing stuff that I've gotten used to on Windows.

This is my personal take. As long as you're careful and thoughtful whenever using them, they can be extremely useful.

"How to confront a cheating husband"
That actually makes sense as a way to die, I just need to become gay now.
