Eh, we don't need to disavow them completely and burn a bridge with an ally. We just need to try literally anything to make them stop picking fights and committing war crimes. Like maybe stop funding their military and sending them weapons. Then maybe further sanctions. Problem is we are doing the opposite, and we seem to fully endorse Israel's military objectives.

I believe so, but I'd have to do a little more research to say with certainty. There is a particular supreme court case that serves as an example. See Tillman v Wheaton-Haven Recreation Association.

That's a US Supreme Court case. The OP case is in Australia.

I'm not familiar with discrimination laws in Australia. In the US there are exceptions in the Civil Rights Act (1964) for "private clubs" though I don't think courts have consistently defined what that means.

I'm very curious to hear how this case turns out under Australian law. Personally I think it's counterproductive to exclude trans women from a women-only social club. But if a US court ruled this social club was in fact a "private club" then they could legally discriminate in whatever way they desire, be that by excluding men or trans women.

I don't understand how Agile became synonymous with "useless meetings." I thought the whole point of Agile was to minimize wasted work.

NixOS is at least starting to work on a new wiki. The old one is gone and is only accessible from archive.org.

Delta AMEX offers a "free" checked bag on domestic flights.

I don't think my company uses batch scripts anywhere, but if they did, it would probably be in the app installer for Windows or something.

I couldn't find it anywhere in the OP.

I mostly meant like, if you really wanted, you could have an LLM generate responses for most day to day conversations. This feature already exists for text and email.

Easy install is not the only benefit. You also get fearless upgrades. When I upgrade my Nvidia driver and it inevitably exposes bugs in one of my apps, I can always jump back to the previous build version without uninstalling anything.

Of all the stuff I've seen in the comments, this is actually feasible today.

Oh wow. I hate this lol

Would you rather have semicolons or significant newlines?

; is just a monad after all

You can replace return foo with just foo.

Well you have a variable foo being mutated. Maybe that's what they're for?

Sure! Here's a 100PB thumb drive.

Ok I don't really agree with all of your lines of reasoning but I'm curious what you think the solution to our gun problem is. We at least agree that we have a problem, right?

The head of the ATF is also responsible for operation fast and furious.

That's just whataboutism.
