Hmm, maybe there are particular challenges to free medications? Even Quebec's most left-wing mainstream party, Québec Solidaire, doesn't quite go as far as free drugs for all, afaik.

Not that the idea doesn't sound lovely.

Wait, spermicide? The last time I heard of that was in sexual education, where they said not to use that shit because of its really low reliability.

Feels weird that the US government would target that product in particular.

What year is it? Locked devices have been illegal in Quebec for, like, ever.

Dicarbon monoxide. Wikipedia is shockingly poor in information about it, but "stable" is certainly not the first word I'd use to describe it.

What kills me is when people will mix the two in a single context.

"Between eight and 13 percent"

NO. If you're writing one number in digits, you need to write them all the same way.

Statistically speaking, Republican party voters are more white, more male, less poor*, less educated, more rural and older than Democrat party voters.

Making an effort to reduce a certain demographic's ability or willingness to vote will necessarily affect one party more than the other. As an example, if you add hoops to jump through, people who are already at their limit, working a zillion hours a week, are unlikely to do it, while the average retiree will probably not mind.

*It's complicated. Republican voters tend to be middle/upper-middle income, while Democrat voters tend to be lower/lower-middle income OR high income, leaving the middle for the Republicans.

They mean swords. They must be talking about swords, right?

What would be a solar eclipse though

I do know a few devs who prefer 5 days in the office. But they're absolutely the minority.

Personally, I try to go once a week, but I usually don't because I dread having a day with 50% my normal productivity.

It's just so noisy all the time in there. Open space and really high ceilings for "collaboration"...

Colon Q exclamation point? 6 keystrokes to leave? Sheesh.
