Less nice, more realizing that would remove their ability to stop the Republicans when the political winds inevitability shift the other way

Well yes, but also no. You can't reproduce a book because that violates copyrights.

Open source in this context just means that nobody owns the book, you can reproduce it however many times you want, and distribute it where you want as long as you include the original license in the reproduction (MIT license).

Also, there's a bit of a colloquial understanding that others are able to contribute or fork the original source material.

Definitely make your own, if you can stomach the time. You can buy molds online for a cheap initial investment, then just water down some fruit juice.

You can also use real fruit if you don't mind a chunkier texture and own a food processor already.

Cheap popsicles. Relatively low calories (<100 depending on the brand), take a while to eat, and are extremely cheap.

If you make your own you can drive the price and Calories even lower and drive the flavor way up.

Side note: I just learned "popsicle" is the brand name and not a term for the food. Kind of like saying Kleenex instead of tissue. I had no idea, I've just always called them popsicles.

The US has a lot of bullshit in their labeling requirements. My wife studied food science in university and some of her biggest complaints are:

• Serving sizes aren't always the entire package
• "Natural" has almost no meaning on a package, it is just a hand-waving word
• They can hide a lot of things in the ingredients under umbrella terms like "spices" and "flavorings"
• "Made with real juice" does not mean it was made with the juice on the label. For example, a pineapple fruit juice may be more apple juice than actually pineapple juice
• They can round down to 0 calories if the actual amount is below 5

The most egregious example I've seen lately was a jar of pickles I bought where the serving size is 1/3 of a pickle (now the website says 1/2). That's just so that the sodium doesn't get out of control and, in all likelihood, because an entire pickle may be more than the 5 Calories allowed to say it's "0 Calories".

This is changing, slowly. Manufacturers now have to put servings for the entire container if it's small enough

This is definitely the issue. For most of modern history, humans haven't had to care about anything outside of their city/town/village from day to day. Then social media and 24/7 news came along and suddenly we know everything going on, and most of it is bad because that's what drives viewership.

We shouldn't expect every person to be worried about every issue all the time. It's just not good for you.

I'm personally trying not to focus on things outside of my sphere of influence. I'll vote in elections, donate if I can spare the money, volunteer if I can spare the time, and buy products I know are more ethical than alternatives. That's realistically the most anyone should ask of one (frankly unremarkable) person.

Because they are word roots. "trans-" means on the other side of something like "transatlantic" while "cis-" means on the same side like cisatlantic.

Banned for being a separatist shill

If I had to come up with a reason for it out of my ass, I'd say it's because being rejected from a tribe would be a death sentence for most, so those that remembered their mistakes were less likely to repeat them and be expelled.

"Do you think fighting can be part of a healthy relationship?"

My wife and I rarely fight, we've maybe had two or three in our entire relationship, and they weren't yelling matches We just got upset and patched things up relatively quickly. I don't think I could be with someone who thinks raising their voice at another person is okay, and surely not if they think it can be healthy. And hard "hell no" to any violence.

So, this is a weedout question

I see a lot of posts that are spam that get a shipload of down votes. Usually advertising some pills or something

Fortunately, they are removed pretty quickly

Edit: Hey look one showed up

This is a really toxic way to look at animals. You should enjoy them not because they are cute and loving but because they are incredible beings that help craft the ecosystems in which we thrive. If not like them, then hopefully you can at least respect and accept them for what they are.

As to your original question, raccoons are incredible animals. One of the few species who are so adaptable that they can manage to survive in our concrete world, despite our efforts to stop them. They're very intelligent and dexterous and it's incredible they continue to survive and borderline thrive at times.

Kind of torn my niece is starting to like video games.

On the one hand, they're amazing and I still play them all the time. They're integral to my life and are a medium above others in quality, accessibility, and affordability.

On the other hand, they're a double-edged sword. It's hard to be healthy while playing video games without good discipline. And I think back to times I chose video games over homework and I regret it. I don't necessarily want her to follow an unhealthy hobby, even if I love it

Actually, the middle man is why I picked them... I'm just trying to give Mozilla extra revenue streams besides donations from Google.

But it is good to know its at least not a bad option. Their client is decent enough, I have no problems with it, so I'm happy to continue to support them and think of it as a monthly donation

Apparently unpopular but I use Mozilla VPN

I call it forced air heating

Yes exactly this. It burns my heart strings when they do it too

A change was made in 16.1.0 to allow users to reset their password through a secondary email address. The vulnerability is a result of a bug in the email verification process. The bug has been fixed with this patch, and as mentioned above, we have implemented a number of preventive security measures to protect customers.

Struggling to figure out what the heck they did. Some kind of injection attack to send the email to an arbitrary account? How would you even mess that up in the first place
