None of these are applications, and the whole post reads like it was written by a machine, not sure what's the point though.
Nice, I did not know such a connector existed - that will be useful for completely different and unrelated use cases.
While I had toyed with the idea of a portable, Japanese - made DAC for a while, I switched to Bluetooth headphones years ago. Started out with a cheap Philips headset for $50, later on got the Bose QC 35 II (still my daily driver when outside) and finally worked my way up to the Sony WH-1000XM5.
I did not realize how nice active noise cancelation is. Plus, the frequency reproduction of the XM5 with LDAC enabled is absolutely fine.
On the cons side, you're walking around with $300 - $400 on your head, which is an absolutely luxury, plus you'll get headphones that perform equally well in the sound department (minus the excellent ANC and freedom from cables) for a lot less.
Hyperbole aside, I'd still be worried that any cable physically connected to my phone would break the port over time - mostly because that has happened to me in the past with multiple devices.
The moon landing was 1969, less than four years before Picasso would die at the age of 91.
I'm absolutely not surprised that he didn't care, I don't think the actual consequences / effects of the moon landing would have been readily available for Picasso to grasp (or many other people at the time).
Plus, at that age, nobody gives a fuck about anything anyway.
To add to OP's comment: reviews are not only a means to form an opinion on wether to buy an upcoming title.
Yeah, the game might be older, but there are still people out there who have not played it. But that's beside the point - I, for example, watch this channel because I'm interested in Mandalore's opinion, his take on a game. I have absolutely played A Machine for Pigs back in the day (and found it mediocre compared to the actual Frictional Games titles), so watching the video is akin to talking to a friend over a drink: "hey, remember xyz? that was a (great | crappy | forgettable) game..."
This kind of content might take me back to a game I haven't played in ages and makes me mentally engage with the title again - or it might put the spotlight on an obscure title few have ever heard of, or a rare forgotten gem that somehow was overlooked.
Many players do not have a desire to only play the latest and newest games, but actively look for older titles, maybe due to nostalgia, maybe due to the games having a different focus, structure etc. back then. Not saying that "everything was better" in the olden days, but different strokes for different folks, right.
This explicitly estimates civilian gun ownership.
I switched to Kagi about 6 months back. It is overall better, but at least on par with Google, also as far as tech / programming - related questions go. Whenever I do not get a useful result from Kagi, it literally finds nothing - I then try Google for verification, which also lists absolutely no results. That happened approximately 4 times since I switched.
Kagi is worse than Google for: reviews, memes, porn, as well as "descriptive" searches, i. e. when trying to describe the desired result using natural language, e. g. "video game character that swallows everything" (I made that up just now for Kirby).
Kagi's ability to use lenses and assign weights to sites can make a big difference.
At first, they didn't have anonymous payments and an unattractive pricing model, but that has been fixed for a while, otherwise I wouldn't have switched.
Overall, I am very satisfied and have absolutely zero plans of ever using Google again.
Amassing guns does not mean amassing knowledge and training on how to properly use them. On a side note, the actual number is more like 1.2 guns per civilian, which is (terrifyingly) impressive.
Even if that number wouldn't be a simple average, it still doesn't mean each civilian has received proper training or is even fit for handling a gun, even though 72% have apparently at least once fired a gun in their lifetime - though that can literally mean they onced pulled the trigger on a hunting trip with dad at age 7, with him holding the gun.
Honestly, let me speak as an American as well: People shouldn't be handling guns at all.

I do, see related comments elsewhere in this post.
Also, just to be completely clear: I'm not doubting the feasibility of migrating government desktops to Linux, I'm doubting wether a German governmental institution will manage to pull it off this time.
I'm still rooting for it to happen, though.
I know nothing about the character, but it's sure possible to have some fun with even the old Vocaloid technology.

Musical stuff starts at around 2:00
Edit: I just realized if you're reading this and are interested into Vocaloid, this is not a representative video. It's just showing off a fun, cheap pocket synth.
There were interoperability issues on the federal level, but I'm with you, lobbying must have played a major role in reverting the migration.
At the time, there were also press releases mentioning increasingly slow support response times and missing features, but since (at least according to my knowledge) no stats on that have ever been published, it's hard to tell how much of those were opinion pieces (with the interviews potentially being non-representative).
I suggest you read the Wikipedia article about it, Sierra really went all out on Phantasmagoria. It was budgeted at 800k, but eventually cost $4.5 million, with the custom built studio solely dedicated to filming it weighing in at $1.5 million - thats quite something, considering we're talking 90s money here. Again, dev costs for AAA titles today are a completely different beast, but as you said, video games have come a long way since then.
I watched a (much longer) complete walkthrough sometime last year when I was down with the flu or whatever and I have to say, re-watching it is a bit more fun than re-playing it, the pacing was quite a bit off.
Roberta Williams is a good enough writer when it comes to early adventure games (I do love King's Quest), but this was her first horror project, her script was maybe overly long and the project too ambitious in places, and yeah, the complexity of plot lines probably have grown along with the expectations and the maturity of the audience.
It's still a great project and a major milestone as far as FMV games are concerned, a genre I somewhat miss overall. The mixture of animation and real footage using 90s technology has just the right amount of schlock/cheesiness to be highly entertaining.
Yeah, I'm somewhat doubtful it will work - Germany tried that already, but had trouble with interoperability (read: MS Office vendor lock in) and moved back to Windows:

Please note: the reasons for switching back were a little more nuanced than just Office.
You can't go with that narrow of a definition. What about a parent being proud of their kid? That's also pride.
Nationalism can easily become a bad thing, I agree. But I can also see why people would feel a certain pride to be a part of a community that accomplished something positive, and while they may have not been around to participate, the pride may be what inspires them to contribute in the future.
Ignorance, and an unwillingness to reflect on your countries recent history while spouting propaganda (i. e. "X is the best country in the world"), yes - that's bullshit.

The tag does not say the glove is made of leather, that's simply the Franklin "leather series", a meaningless marketing term meant to trick people.
The Franklin page clearly states those gloves are made of "synthetic leather", e. g. Polyurethane, Vinyl etc.:

Plus, the synthetic leather comes with a pre-formed pocket which is designed to break in exactly to your liking quickly and easily.
EASY BREAK IN: The soft synthetic leather material is lightweight and responsive [...]
You put a plastic glove in your oven at 350. By the way, depending on the material, in particular when talking about Vinyl, burning it may release incredibly toxic fumes, although that mostly applies to PVC. Depending on the details, I'd still considered that oven ruined though, at least for food.
I get that this sucks in more ways than one, but how the heck did you not actually check the complete material composition... almost all modern items are a mix of different materials anyway.
It's not as simple as that, which is why e. g. laws to control monopolies exist. Just look at the recent changes in rulings regarding essential services, right to repair etc.
This is really an outdated, "the market will regulate itself" perspective that has been shown time and again to not work - people just get fucked by corporations.

I'm not at home in this field. I have looked at Non-Slave Labour in the Greco-Roman World by Garnsey, and can probably hop on from there, but would you mind providing more details on the sources, e. g. are you referring to the economist Richard D. Wolff? Any particular papers / DOIs you could provide?
Cats eat grass for the folic acid and to help clean hairballs from their digestive system (which ended up there due to cleaning / licking their fur), so that is completely normal behavior.
