I would say Putin was an intelligent dictator. I think he's losing his touch, but I wouldn't dismiss him until he's in the ground.

Heaven is anarchy: everyone does what they want, which is to be good and helpful to each other.
Heaven is a (benevolent?) dictatorship: everyone does what God wants, which happens to coincide with their desires.
Heaven is communism: everyone helps each other and has access to the same resources, although since a lack of scarcity is implied, this may not require helping each other out in material means.
Heaven probably isn't capitalism: given a lack of scarcity, communal access to resources, and everyone having their own housing, organized trade of any kind seems kind of pointless.
Heaven probably isn't a democracy: if everyone agrees on the major issues, why would you vote on them? That said, everyone in heaven chose to be there, so that's the one vote you get.
Note the 3 underlying issues in each of those. Similarity of goals, which isn't going to happen anytime soon; people putting the common good before themselves, which likely won't happen until...; and a lack of scarcity, which won't happen until certain currently-unlikely events occur.
How many times do I have to tell them I'm not interested in their AI crap on my Win10 box? I didn't use Cortana, I'm not going to use this. Just make it stop!
Windows 8 really was one of the worst in recent history. I'd personally put Win11 as second-worst since Vista. Sure it worked well enough, but so intrusive to both your workflow and privacy. I had trouble with my last attempt to switch to Linux for gaming, but I think it's time to try again.
I was surprised with how well Pride and Prejudice and Zombies followed the original plot. Oh, you free thinkers, learning Chinese martial arts instead of Japanese martial arts, how ever will you fit in?
Or he could as easily block the ones he doesn't like and stay in all. Just depends how picky he is. Granted, the fact we're having this discussion implies he's fairly picky.
There are a number of different types. The two most common ones are the metalized ones, where the sun will appear white, and another kind, where the sun appears yellow. They are both effective protection. The other filters are usually used for solar astronomy equipment, which can also be pretty awesome.

Someone found a karma generator!
The Market is real. An invisible hand guiding it is a belief.
Checking time to login is more likely in the security sector than anywhere else. A number of vulnerabilities based on timing have been identified and removed in the past.
So many vulnerabilities were found due to time to login that one of the security features was to take longer to respond to a bad login so they couldn't tell what part failed. Here's an article I found about one such vulnerability.
Extra clean install. π
