  • I'm a dual citizen (Canada & USA, born Canadian). Part of naturalization in the US is the oath where you renounce citizenship from everywhere else. Thing is, most countries don't care about that oath--Canada requires filing a special form and appearing before an official (IIRC) to renounce citizenship. I asked about the discrepancy--it turns out the US doesn't actually care whether I'm a citizen elsewhere, largely because it's difficult to figure it out and enforce it (this might have been the opinion of the immigration officer, not sure).

  • I have a similar struggle reaching out. One trick I learned was to ask myself: if the positions were reversed, would I be annoyed or put off if this other person were reaching out to me?

  • I learned plenty of things watching my older siblings and seeing how they did things. I still make tons of mistakes, just different ones.

  • Do we need the paper to know it's true? Seems trivial.

  • Honestly, a better metric would probably be

    median rent / median wage

    or something like that. Still doesn't show the distribution, but it would be a much better measure than GDP.

  • I've been using LineageOS on my Pixel 7, and it's been great. As much or as little Google stuff as you want, plus more direct control. Updates are easy, overall would recommend.

  • Wait, do it with a snake

  • Don't need to. If I walked onto a plane and I'm deciding where to sit, there's only one reason I would know the guy is a Linux user (he uses Arch btw).

  • Sit with the Linux guy. Then tell him one of the wolves thinks Arch is bloated. Then I get half the plane to myself.

  • Don't forget the temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

  • Oh, there's a storm alright

  • Someone gotta shop Obama's head on there

  • Obligatory: fuck Nestle
