Agreed. I like the spirit of Switzerland’s “public money, public code” initiative. If they could do that for infrastructure, that’d be awesome.

The lever point is offset such that when you press on the taller part of the handle, the front pops out and you can pull.

Honestly, if you don’t fully understand the statistics and what they could be missing or misrepresenting, (and that’s most of us, most of the time), your distrust is totally reasonable!

I meant irrelevant as to whether it debases the currency of truth.
- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 1 week ago:
Depends. I have an accuute sense of smell. Before it smells bad, it stops “smelling nice” usually a 3-4 day grace period. In that range, I wash them. It varies because in winter, the heat register dries them pretty fast, in summer, less so, but the HVAC fan constantly circulates so since they dry fast, they keep longer.
In the summer, I’ll do less than a week sometimes because I’ll shower more than once a day because sweat. They stay wet longer and get “unfresh” faster.
- Comment on me and who 1 week ago:
I’m not so sure. We may we’ll be deep enough into a post-truth world that it’s irrelevant, besides, the facts haven’t mattered to them for years anyways. Nothing is real for them unless/until it’s seen on Fox News or news Maxx.

Had a buddy that couldn’t take the pain anymore and he had enough drink and anxiety meds one night and he just never woke up.
He made sure to turn on his music extra loud so it’d bother his neighbors so his cat would be okay and would be rehomed.
He was a good guy.

- Comment on Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not) 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I haven’t found any work opportunities overseas that would really make this possible.
Then there are all the ties I’d have to break and people I’d leave behind. I’d feel guilty. That’d be hard.

This is correct. Ithought I could almost afford it, but I would need to save up an amount of money that is not really possible to save up in my situation and besides that I don’t know if I could psychologically manage actually getting everything lined up and working properly in a whole other country. I’ve looked into it in depth, and it is incredibly taxing and difficult.
I don’t know if it’s something I could ever really manage, even in some of the countries that are “easier” to immigrate to.

Watch out for the android TV boxes. They are being used by China to backdoor into US critical infrastructure. Seriously.
