Americans: "Stop with the what-aboutism arguments when they apply to us. Others? Sure, I'm fine with that."

If he was a black man they would have restrained him and then claimed he was resisting while doing so so they could beat him.

Literally all he has to do is work with democrats to end all of this. Just actually work with them on something and the freedom caucus goes away.

To be fair, the supreme court has made the same argument when granting themselves absolute immunity. But it was just as stupid then (and still theoretically only applies when executing their job).

"We could never do anything if we had to worry about lawsuits all the time" yes, that's how life works for everyone who makes decisions.

Writing a new ff UI is pretty easy. The entire UI is written in html at this point. I'm not sure why people would say it's "hard" to change.

Embedding gecko into something requires work (even that isn't that hard really, you just have to hand it a gl surface and pass through inputs)

It was literally in the chrome "manifesto" when it launched.

Do you think vasectomies are free?

I guess you'd need infinite space for an infinite number of bills. But it'd still be full to the brim?

An infinite number of bills would mean there's no space to move or breathe in, right? We'd all suffocate or be crushed under the pressure?

I mean, it's more complicated than that. Both declared themselves victor. Mainland went communist. The west couldn't live with that so they propped up to authoritarian govt of Taiwan and ignored the communist government for 30 years, funding the murder of hundreds of thousands of dissidents. They couldn't "capture" it without dragging themselves into the US's cold war fever.

It's only been the last 40 years that Taiwan has become democratic, and only the last 10-20 that the parties who wanted unification started to lose elections. Even then they keep wavering back and forth in elections some trying to tie more to China and some trying to break off entirely afaict.

This makes no sense. K is not a constant. Is there a variable in there?

Temperature is a measure of entropy. It depends on the disorder in a system somehow.
