Then you have to allow me to wear a spaghetti strainer on my head as it’s the official wear for followers of FSM.
Let's be honest, if you want to wear a colander, I'm not sure I see an issue with it. Just remember, by Quebec law, Pastafarians can't follow their traditions, yet Christians can.
Are you going to sit at a government office in front of somebody you can’t even see because she is 100% covered, even the eyes? Should we allow it a step further, allow that in class rooms (yes, I’ve seen cases for that too)?
I'm not seeing how this is an issue, like at all. And even if it was, what's the issue with other religious garb?
How about then the next step where they will demand that they can only interact with women because their god demands it?
You're making a straw-man argument here. No, we do not allow people to hold positions if they can't fulfill the requirements. Sometimes, we have to review whether the requirements are ethnocentric, but I think it's good that we question rules and regulations to decide whether their accurate to the requirements. In the case you're laying out, I'm almost certain they would be considered unsuitable for the job.
In general, your argument seems to be, "I hate religion, so I approve of any law that screws over practitioners." That doesn't seem very logical. Can you put your emotions aside, and actually explain why government workers should be banned from wearing religious garb?
I've heard some people argue it's because religious views can conflict with a job, but if that's the case, the issue is the employee's not doing their job not their religion. Lots of beliefs can conflict with a job, and if that's the case, a person has to decide whether they want to keep their job or not.
Another argument is that simply the presentation of religious symbols in public is offensive to some, but that seems to be an extreme version of "Safe Spaces" while just skipping over tonnes of preceding steps.
Also, it seems convenient the whiter the religion, the less likely their are to require their worshipers to wear expressions of faith. On the other hand, religions like Islam and Sikhism that just happen to be practiced by more brown people require outward expressions of their faith. So a Christian who is super faithful, goes to mass daily and spends all their free time in prayer can work for the government as long as they keep their cross under their shirt, while a Sikh who might not be all that religious has to decide if they want to risk being shunned from their community.
P.S. Separation of church and state means those organizations shouldn't influence each other, not that individuals can only be involved in one or the other.
There is an argument that, "The Fleurdelisé is more cultural than religious," but separating those two is extremely difficult. IMHO, it's pretty ethnocentric to think symbols like that have become so ingrained in our culture that they are no longer religious, while assuming symbols like hijab are purely religious.
100%. I know this computer is getting to the end of it's life. I've upgraded it as much as possible (SSD, 8GB of RAM, new battery) and it still lives almost completely on it's dock.
I've previously looked into converting it to a USB or bluetooth keyboard, and now I'm curious if I could convert it to a KVM console for a SteamDeck. I'm not quite sure yet if this idea is brilliant or brain-dead (probably both).
EDIT: Instead of KVM console, I think the more modern term would be a Lapdock.
Eh, depends how much older. My daily is a Thinkpad x201, and while I love Linux Mint, every once in a while I get curious about other distros. However, as many times as I've tried, there's a bunch of distros whose LiveUSBs just won't boot (for example Pop! OS).
Besides what other have said, by my count we've already had 2 female MND. One became Prime Minister. The other was fairly recent, IMHO did a good job, and has a bright future in politics.
I don't even think PBS & NPR are as well funded (though I don't have sources to support that). That's why they're always doing telethons and thanking "viewers like you" for supporting their programming.
Your choice is making sure to buy a well supported, timely updated device.
Sure, that choice is currently available, but it wasn't when many of those devices were purchased. For example, I'm currently using a Galaxy S10e which had just about the best support of any Android phone. Now I'm stuck on Android 12. I actually planned on using it with Lineage, but somewhere between my S7 and the S10e, Samsung stopped using Exynos in their Canadian phones, and I didn't realize it. The hardware is still more than good, and as others have pointed out, with Play Service updates, the software isn't really obsolete either, it's just a concern I'm not getting security updates.
Bauer Food LLC said in a statement that the two 10-year-olds are children of a night manager and "were not approved by franchisee organization management to be in that part of the restaurant."
So at very least, they're in the back of the restaurant, where they shouldn't be. However, given fact that the company isn't disputing the two 10-year-olds were working, I think that pretty much means they were working.

I'm not saying that. However, it's highly recommended that toddlers have baby monitors with them while they sleep. So even if the parents were sleeping, their child's distress should wake them up. This child was unattended, unobserved, etc.
Leaving a two-year-old alone in a car for 30-60 minutes (he doesn’t even know how long he was gone) isn’t criminal in and of itself regardless of the weather.
... ummmm, yes it is. Leaving a toddler unattended for an extended period of time is literally multiple crimes.
Fine, but this was in England, where there are speedlimits everywhere and there is an ocean channel between it and the closest place without speedlimits.
This is the one that always gets me about "small government" people. They talk about inefficiencies and say, "the private sector can do it better," which is debatable because comparing money and service is subjective (IMHO, they're still wrong, but that's besides the point). Yet most of them don't want to properly fund tax administrators, when time and time again, they've shown they're a money multiplier. If you want a more basic, striped down tax code, I once again disagree, but fine, that's your opinion. However, in our current tax system enforcement is underfunded, and I think it just shows their true intent to enrich the wealthy.
Emphasis mine. It's not the latch, but the latch switch, which presumably is why it's able to be fixed in software.
