  • How exact does it need to be? There are plenty of ways to collect and organize the data. There are plenty of low-income schools. If you only gave out free condoms at the ones that were 90% black (but given to all students there), would that count?

  • A threat of war, sure. But you don't declare war like that clip of "declaring" bankruptcy. Even with all the wars the US has started, the last one declared was in 1942. Until Congress formally declares war, or troops start to move in, it's still just a threat.

    That said, it is a threat that everyone should take very seriously.

  • Before going homeless, there will be a massive uptick in reverse mortgages. Remember that most retirees were able to buy houses back when they were super cheap. A reverse mortgage gives them income while effectively selling the equity in their home. As is often the case, they will be screwing over their kids and grandkids. There won't even be a house (owned) to inherit upon their death.

    The executor will be forced to sell the house to pay off the reverse mortgage, often at a discount, to exactly the types you describe.

  • Yes, they exist, as I acknowledged. How old is it? Is it representative of what you'd find at a standard big box retailer?

    For it to work, it means the controls must all be manual and mechanical. This is in contrast to the "smart" features that are very common.

  • Oh, and FWIW - if you live somewhere with an unstable power grid, a natural gas or LP stove will continue to function when the power is out, albeit you'll need to light it manually.

    This is only true on the simplest (or older) gas stoves. Most models these days have all sorts of electronics, including features to prevent gas leaks.

  • I won't speak to how the UK does things, but in the US this would make for an easier criminal charge.

    It can be difficult to prove that someone stole (or is about to steal) a car, or broke in to steal the contents. This is especially true if they weren't apprehended in or with the vehicle itself. But if they are arrested on suspicion, and one of these devices is found on them, they can very easily be prosecuted for possession of criminal tools. It's similar to how we normies can't legally own a lockpicking kit unless we're locksmiths.

  • In the very few cases where the trump campaign showed any evidence whatsoever, they actually did very well with the court rulings. Keep in mind that these were absolutely not cases of widespread fraud, but of localized errors that are common in every election.

    The fact that most suits were filed with literally no evidence whatsoever was very telling, though.

  • Does Spanish have a super generic term like "significant other" or "partner" that doesn't convey anything useful?

    Side note, the types of parents you would be concerned about are probably also the type that get super racist about teaching Spanish in the first place.

  • How is that different from the Office 365 installation I have at work? Other than the fact that it can actually operate entirely offline for a significant time, unlike what the article describes?

    Or did you redefine O365 to only mean the web version?
