The openSUSE installer supports more than 50 different languages but only a few of them have their full localization on the media. To add additional localization to your system, you need to invoke software installation once you have online access.

Yes, and ETFs have the best odds with pretty low, but relatively stable, returns. It's fairly low-risk because that's how index funds work. Retail investing is not really for me, so low-risk is the most I am comfortable with.

In this scenario, I only need to keep the money in stocks for 1 month. It's not like investing in crypto, I'd lose barely any of it in that time if I lost anything at all.

No knowledge of the financial stuff, but maybe: put most of it in a variety of ETFs, hire a financial advisor and an accountant to help you navigate the system and the taxes, then cash out and donate it.

You spend it without giving it away. Then you give it away. Some countries give you a lot of it back at tax time if you donate to registered charities so you'll even get something for it. I dunno, I'm a poor so maybe it wouldn't work out, but it would be cool.

Gotta love some shit icing on the shit cake.

I was, but that doesn't mean I had fun. It's like going to a government building or a train station: it's a purpose-built place where you have to behave and there aren't really activities. How is that fun?

Username checks out.

I think I can say with 100% certainty that I have never had fun in an airport pre-security area. What's your idea of fun?

Fixed your link gore, lol.

I don't disagree, but I also don't think that that's enough on its face to determine with any certainty that muggles would "win" whatever conflict arose. An army would definitely have a tactical advantage, but wizards are presumably educated in order to be self-sufficient and many of the creature comforts they're accustomed to can't actually be acquired with muggle resources - at least from what we see in England, they have their own political systems, press, and currency.

Do not do this. You'll create a Frankendebian and your updates could (and probably will) break your system. Try to use a PPA instead, since Ubuntu is Debian-based.

Hm, I guess you could say the selective service, no? If there's a draft, men must present themselves (their bodies) for military service. It's a bit of a bad faith answer, though, because there hasn't been a draft in decades, meanwhile women's bodily autonomy is being denied every day.

Honestly, I only really see wizards losing immediately in England, lol. It's canon that many wizards can use spells silently and/or without a wand, and some even create their own spells; they could likely incapacitate a soldier (or many soldiers, depending on the spell) without raising suspicion by having to aim a wand or gun.

I dunno, Magneto gives the US Army a run for their money in X-Men - I would think a similarly talented or experienced wizard would have comparable powers.

It makes sense to withhold an endorsement to see if she'll try to legitimately court progressives with substantive policy. I really don't think she will but it's worth a shot. Bernie's old and his time in politics is coming to a close, but he knows how to be the squeaky wheel and make moves.

Campaign length =/= "narrative development," but okay. People can still do interviews and events and whatever, but no ads or official campaign duties.

It's so obvious you've never had to think about this before or how it could work, which is exactly why I made my first comment.

What analysis? This comment chain isn't even about the text of the article. I'm not saying one is better than another, it's just a fact that other countries have shorter campaigns. 3 months is also not worse than 12 months so I'm not sure what your point is.

A long campaign isn't an inherent feature of democracy, it's just what the current American reality is. That doesn't matter to this particular election, but I'm pointing out that the way y'all do it isn't the only way in case there are people who genuinely don't know that.

Might be weird to Americans, but other countries like Canada actually limit their campaigns to 3 months total. I find it odd that you guys' politicians have a relatively major election every 2 years and essentially don't take a break from campaigning that entire time.

I don't know what to tell you other than what I already have, that the link does not work for me. There's a specification for a reason: interoperability. Fuck that though, it works for you!

Can you understand that I am not you and I don't have your experience? The link goes to lemmy.world and I am on moist.catsweat.

It only works for you because you're using Jerboa. I'm using a browser.
