That's a valid point indeed.

At least an integrated modem wouldn't set my local network at risk. They might still collect sensible data with microphones, cameras and share usage profiles etc. But from my perspective that's at least technically decoupled from other devices.

But what if they're just performing poorly the first time? Shouldn't we give everyone at least a second chance?

Even then it might have been the wrong person. I never felt attracted to another man so far but how can I be really 100% (!!!) sure there is not 'the one' out there unless I meet them all? :D

Never heard of Bonny & Clide, huh? Or Robin Hood? I guess robbing banks can be damn attractive.

From my perspective you can't bet both sides and still expect gains on average. Sure you can be lucky that the one bet wins more than the other loses but typically that doesn't work if you bet on two opposite outcomes. There are no magical and safe ways to multiply money other than maybe being super rich and already too big to fail.

Oh, where is that? As an inspiration in case I decide to emigrate one day. 😄

Maybe I phrased it in a confusing way. Coffee does not smell like dog poop to me. It's just exactly as disgusting. Can't really compare it to anything else but it's a very intense smell that I just can't stand. I noticed that microwaving chocolate milk can lead to a similar smell but by far not as bad as coffee.

It's not roasted stuff in general that I despise and also not related to milk.

The smell of coffee. I don't know what's wrong with me (or alternatively the vast majority of people) but it smells as disgusting to me as a steaming pile of dog poop. I learned to ignore it to some extend but I still hate it in all its variations: The powder, freshly roasted beans, freshly brewed coffee, cold coffee, coffee breath, ...

I also don't get the hype around Paris. It's not super ugly but also nothing special.

I don't live too far from it, could easily go there for a week-end or even day trip. Still only been there twice and have no plans to go there again. In many spots it's very crowded and dirty and the attractions aren't better than in any other major city.

Depends on what the tariffs are about. If there's a tariff on a specific category of finished consumer goods, an import of the materials/ parts in combination with a local assembly might indeed reduce or avoid the taxes you have to pay.

Not to forget these crazy machines that'll give you free money if you smash in one of those weird plastic thingys from your purse. Absolutely bonkers!

Ding ding ding - congratulations, you got it. :) You're officially the winner #7b!

These nuts are indeed not really popular but I found them in a regular supermarket in Germany a couple of years ago. As someone mentioned they're typically almost impossible to crack, so each nut already had a small canal sawed into the side and the box came with a metal lever that exactly fits into said canal. With that preparation it was quite easy to open them.

You can also buy them online prepared that way. E.g. here: https://mypilinut.com/de/products/noix-de-pili-en-coque-seau-xxl-2900g (I don't know this shop, it was just the first result on Google, so no clue if it's a fair price).

There you go - challenge #7b just for you:

Ding ding ding - we've got our winner for today. Thank you very much for participation. :)

Know nut November Day #7 - What nut is this?

Voting for a party you dislike or not voting out of spite is not a good form of protest IMO. At the very least vote 3rd party. With the current election system in the US, that's still a stupid choice from my perspective but at least it makes your disagreement somewhat visible.

In the statistics, not voting at all feeds in the same bucket as lazyness or carelessness.

Back-up/failover instances for communities and users.

Every user and every admin of a community should be able to assign a failover instance in case the main instance goes down temporarily or permanently. All relevant data (posts, upvotes, settings, password hashes, mod log) would be permanently syched so you could just switch over in case of a downtime and most importantly, no content would be lost.

If you implement a feature to set the failover instance as your new main instance, that would also implicitly allow you to migrate users and communities elsewhere.
