  I was being a little factitious, though honestly I don’t know what a tibetan monk does day to day. I had an uncle who was a Trappist monk a bunch of years ago, but that’s a different thing. I certainly didn’t have a bunch of illicit sex in my mental image of them.

  We were restricted even on some proprietary software (especially if it was from a foreign owned company), but you’d be surprised how much scrutiny some of the major packages have had.

  A lot of government stuff requires that they have complete provenance of all code in the system. When you have people contributing to it from different places - potentially different countries - they get nervous about it.

  Silly me

  Or become a monk, have a bunch of sex, and pay off the occasional blackmail out of the donation funds. I mean, it seems like monks have a great life except for the celibacy thing, so if you take that off the table, maybe it’s not a bad deal.

  I’ve never thought so. I mean, I guess it’s hard to quantify, but that’s different from being ambiguous. If someone asked you, “Who in your high school class did people make fun of the most,” you might know right away who it would be, or there might be multiple contenders. Other people in your class might have different opinions, but that doesn’t mean you all don’t know what the question is, just that it’s hard to measure.

  Made fun of

  Where I worked, many of the contacts specifically said we could not use open source software, so no, it is not always available.

  Some have a removable cover that you take off and wash. The ones that don’t I think are generally surface wash only, but all should have a tag with instructions someplace.

  I don’t think that attitude is as fringe as you seem to be thinking. There seem to be an awful lot of people who are horrified at any kind of nudity.

  I can’t wait to pay for groceries with my free healthcare.

  Is anybody shocked to see a nude statue in a museum or something?

  Sadly, some are. I remember as a teen visiting my aunt and uncle who had a giant Catholic family. We were sitting around watching one of the Pink Panther movies, where the main character is in a museum at night. As he scans his flashlight across the room, it passes over some nude Greek statues. My aunt took the remote and switched the channel, saying “We don’t need to watch this smut.”

  The counterpoint is that, for many women I know, their swimwear exposes way more skin than their underwear.

  You should reflect back on that “less prude than Americans” part of his statement. It’s only “not really possible” because of widespread American taboos about nudity. If boobs were visible in everyday life - on TV shows and at a typical day to the beach - in a non-sexual way, your son wouldn’t give a crap.

  It’s interesting that in many US cities, there’s no law against women going topless, but if a woman does it, it’s outrageous. Hell, some women get chastised for breastfeeding in public. We’re a messed up society.
