The cost to move to America is quite steep, though, and there are significant drawbacks.

And with some degree of oversight, for the safety and health of the workers and their clients.

The only real issue with OpenStreetMaps is that the quality varies significantly town-to-town depending on how much love it's had by local, knowledgable contributors. Road directions are one of the more complex things to configure in OSM, especially with complex multi-lane junctions, and so densely-populated areas and major roads are likely to be quite good, whereas more rural areas can be hit-and-miss.

I don't know about other countries' tests, but some in the UK are just nasal swabs, others are both tonsils and nose. The earlier tests - in my area, at least - were tonsil and nose swabs.

VS Code's diff tools are killer. Comparison is smarter than most, and you can edit either file as you go.

I'm all for interesting side quests, but it does hurt immersion a little when High Priest Powervac impresses upon you how urgent it is that you stop The Great Finger Eater and save the galaxy, but you've also really got to gather nine forget-me-nots for Widow Stoop and honestly, they're of equal importance.

"Kos" is short for Markos. But it's better to make assumptions than to spend a moment actually checking anything.

I do still search for Reddit posts when looking for opinions about products, solutions to technical problems, etc - much as I don't want to use the platform, the quality of content is generally much higher than Quora, the Microsoft Forum, and other open discussion hubs.

I refuse to be an active user, though. I know it needs to make money, but fuck their attitude to their users and moderators.

This was suspected since Bentley's death back in April. I guess if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

You are defending the murder of children.

I went up from the Jordan unto Bethel. And as I was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked me and said unto me, “Go up, thou bald head! Go up, thou bald head!” And I turned back and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth Ganon out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.

They're both men, but neither of them are Men.

*IR light, in the interest of avoiding confusion.

Thanks - looking forward to it!

I am the most inexpert of laypeople on this subject, but I've wondered whether the incursion into Russian territory has been to give Ukraine a better position to negotiate on a mutual return of territory in talks, if they come about.

Very much looking forward to V2! I've had to switch to Voyager for working spoiler markdown -- it's also excellent, but I generally prefer Mlem.

Cheeky questions while I'm here:

1. Voyager also seems to handle GIFs in comments better, is that something on the cards for Mlem?
2. Is there a plan to introduce swiping forward? I frequently accidentally swipe back to the community list and lose my place in the feed.

Why is the AP writing as if their audience are children? I understand it from the Mirror.

Also Œ, Ȝ, and arguably W and U.

Elena and Nicolae Ceaușescu were more or less equal partners in their despotic role over Romania, until their joint execution in 1989 during the Romanian Revolution.

I've never seen a convincing source for this factoid. As best I can tell, "killer whale" was never "whale killer" in recorded written text.
