Quebec always marches to a different drummer. Nevertheless, I expect they will be dropping the Tesla vehicles from their list sooner or later. They may just not want to make any more adjustments so close to a launch.

You forgot able-bodied, straight, and cisgender.

Edit: Oh, and English-speaking.

It's unfortunate that this is going to be his last term (although I don't blame him for wanting to retire).

If she weren't a reasonably good-looking young white woman, there would likely have been no article at all, and it's true that that's a demonstration of inequality . . . but at least she's using her pre-issued soapbox for something useful this time, and not to promote antivaxxer screeds or dodgy cosmetic treatments. And the articles about her will make even the bigots a little bit more likely to believe that a BIPOC person complaining about similar treatment at the hands of ICE is telling the truth.

I suspect the amount of money made off this—by anyone—is going to be very small unless she brings a successful lawsuit against the US government (unlikely). Like, all takings by everyone involved might buy dinner at a mid-priced restaurant level of money. There isn't enough material here for a book.

It's more a matter of crazy than stupid, I think.

though I’m not sure if it’s a split cour or not

Livechart indicates that it's not split.

The amount of egg Trump has accumulated on his face over the years would, if sold in stores, be sufficient to bring US egg prices and availability back to pre-avian-flu levels. The problem is that all that egg seems to be selectively invisible to his supporters.

He should have stuck with hockey.

Will it actually allow ordinary users to browse normally, though? Their other stuff breaks in minority browsers. Have they tested this well enough so that it won't? (I'd bet not.)

Locked rooms are pretty fungible. Some possibilities: there's another duplicate key in circulation, the son's key was stolen and then returned, the guys who entered the room with the father (technically just before the father) were both in on whatever happened and surreptitiously concealed the apparatus used to lock up, or there's something about the window latches, which the episode spent more camera time on than they appeared to deserve.

The other point of possible interest is that if this was suicide (with the intent of framing the brother) or some kind of bizarre illness, the locked room no longer matters: the victim could have locked himself in without the key. He wouldn't have needed it to enter, since the dad mentioned that the room was normally accessible to the members of the household.

Hmm. Considering the number of packages in a Gentoo base system and what package.provided does, [anything]->Gentoo shouldn't be that difficult. Of course, whether "work your way through about twenty packages one at a time, then just uninstall the rest of the old system and reinstall everything using Portage" violates the spirit of the challenge is another question.

I'd say his number one fear is probably attack ads being made illegal.
