I kind of don't like this. People are not worth more or less. We should be just as outraged at shooting a homeless immigrant on their way to an appointment for a sex date with a Grindr hookup as with your hypothetical father of 3 on the way home from work.

Haha okay that explains it. The UK counts as Europe about as much as Turkey or Russia does... which is to say yes you're on the same continental plate, but beyond that...

Anyway, your government has been aggressively underfunding the NHS for ages. It's hardly a surprise if it's shit.

Where do you live? That's certainly not my experience in the Netherlands. Of course we have expensive health care because our center right government believed in privatizing everything, but it's still way better than the US. Source: born American, currently Dutch.

This is true. In Holland we have laws and regulations about this. My wife's job is enforcing this, although most of the work is designing places to minimize problems (don't build homes right next to highways, or under flight paths, or next to industry), as well as dealing with cafe owners who let their customers talk in front of the bars smoking at 02:00. 😄

This is the way.

I thought the same thing. In the Netherlands it's not allowed to have realistic looking toy weapons. I basically think that's a good thing.

Is that a problem? Is there a special reason these should be replaced?

Yeah but your Linux partition is a freak and will do whatever you want. You can even ask it to dress up like Windows or macOS is you want for some reason... it doesn't care!

That's a good new-ish law for California! I doubt people in most other states are similarly protected.

I was on vacation in the USA recently, and the existence of pharmaceutical advertisements was shocking. The amount of them was even more shocking!

I think that ISO 8601 is available for free. But agreed that the RFC version is superior.
