Married women would have a tougher time meeting proof-of-citizenship requirements if they took their husbands' name

Yeah, that all definitely sounds reasonable to me. It's just weird that if that's the point the article was trying to make, they should have supported it a bit.

This article mentions that they are trying to disenfranchise people with the citizenship proof requirements, and it also mentions that they specifically want to disenfranchise women, but it doesn't draw a connection between the two. In order for those to be connected, women would have to have more difficulty in producing that proof than men (which may be the case, but the article doesn't show that).

To actually answer your question, though, at least from the conservative women I've talked to, they are fine with that. The conservative women I know are weak, and they essentially want to give up responsibility in exchange for freedoms. They actually want women to be second class citizens because it means that they don't have to worry about anything (but they do have to just do what they are told).

There are old, conservative women who spent their lives as housewives who feel threatened by working women, so they want to maintain/go back to the status quo of women staying in the home (ignoring the fact that working class women have always worked). On the other hand, there are young, conservative women who do work, who yearn for the pretend vision of white, upper-middle class 1950s, where they get to just stay home and do what they want all day.

TL; DR: They essentially want to be like children, worry-free in exchange for less freedom.

P.s., there are definitely plenty of conservative women too stupid or unwilling to admit to themselves that the conservative position is women as second class citizens, but I wanted to respond with the perspective I've heard from people who seemed to be more honest.

The need for citizen militias was specifically to support regular forces but also oppose them if necessary. The idea was that citizens should always be more powerful than the government. Some people think that modern weaponry means that people could never overpower the military, but we see it all the time.

Ooh, that is a good solve

Pretty much every time there have been head to head competitions between birds and wires, the birds have won.

That sounds similar to lupin beans.

In America, we have pokeweed, which everyone knows is toxic, but people eat it after boiling 3 times (I don't think we have another word for that).

A lot of foraging books talk about boiling and/or soaking to make things edible, but usually it's to remove bitterness/astringency like with acorns. For something neurotoxic, I don't think I'd trust it, though.

Looking at the wiki page for gyromitra, it looks like it's sold for consumption in Finland. Were you taught it was safe to eat?

False morel, despite the name, is not really something you'd confuse for a morel. If the only description I gave you of a morel was 1 sentence long, maybe you'd grab a false morel by accident, but if you've ever seen a picture, or any longer description than that, you wouldn't confuse them.

These people know which mushroom they are foraging.

One thing that I didn't see mentioned yet is the effect of the filter papers. Different brands of paper have different resistance to flow. Even if you go with hario brand, they have different factories that make work differently (though I dont remember which is faster). Basically just pay attention to what you buy, and if it's working for you, stick with it. I like bleached papers cause they have no taste, but I still rinse them before putting coffee in just to get the filter to stick to the funnel properly.

I don't know if you got a plastic or ceramic version of the v60, but if it's ceramic, you'll definitely want to preheat it, otherwise your brew temperature will be cooler.

Lol, yeah, I was trying to find a source for the average home age, and an article in English cited this as the official government statistics, which i thought would be more responsible to cite, even if I couldn't understand it. I did auto-translate it to double check, though.

Japanese houses in particular are basically a consumable. They are designed for a very short lifetime compared to pretty much any other developed country.

The average wooden house there lasts 21 years.

It beats vacuum sealing cause you can put like 20 servings of food in one big bag, but they remain separate servings that you can thaw one at a time. I often just use a zip lock, but I just reuse the same one over and over again.

I use them for freezing stock, and it's nice to know that each cube is 125 ml.

If you had a territory where you could sort mostly the wealthy people into one "country" and mostly the poor people into another "country", you could make one really happy and one really sad country.

Putting up shelves, you have to decide if you want them to be level, parallel to the floor, or parallel to the ceiling, and those are all different.

If you are a business generating rubbish, it is your moral responsibility to account for that rubbish. The business selling stuff doesn't have their employees filling their pockets with the bulk food packaging rubbish at the end of the day to dispose of at home; they have their own bins. They just don't want to be responsible for all the rubbish they generate cause it costs them more money than trying to put that responsibility on someone else.

The district as a whole voted republican, but the attendees are just whoever showed up to the town hall to air grievances, which sounds like it was not republicans.

Food that comes on reused plates and/or drinks in reused cups. Much of the advertising around littering prevention was developed by industries who saw profits in creating a lot of single use items that wanted to shift the blame for any litter to individuals instead of them. When you see an empty bottle of Pepsi floating in a pond, Pepsi deserves more criticism than whoever dropped that specific bottle since they are the ones who brought it into the world, and they do it on a much larger scale than any 1 person could ever manage.

On 11, I'd say you also need to decide if the type of terrain you are going on really even calls for boots. Plenty of people do long trips in trail running shoes, which is usually my preference on decent trails, but on really rugged backcountry (or snowy/mountaineering) conditions, you need boots.

Also, to an extent, you don't really break boots in as much as you break your feet into the boots, so a pair you wore all summer last year and set down for 8 months could probably still use a little ramp up to a long trip.

On 12, I'd say gaiters are really nice even if you aren't in snowy or wet conditions. I wear them even when it's nice so I can keep rocks, dust, etc out of my shoes.

There's also the somewhat counterintuitive idea of "be bold; start cold". Basically, once you get hiking, you'll get a lot warmer, so you might as well start a little chilly and save yourself getting sweaty 20 minutes in and having to take off a layer.

A huge percentage of trout fishing is essentially farming with extra steps. Especially in the US, there are a lot of rivers and streams that get too warm for trout in the summer, so the government puts a bunch of trout in each fall and winter, and they all get either caught, or die in summer.

Lots of these rivers would have previously had native fish populations that were severely reduced by damming or whatever other ecological disaster we imposed on them.
