Lauren Boebert says she "fell short of values" after Beetlejuice groping video.
The bar is so low that I am genuinely surprised she hasn't denied it was her or claimed it was wasn't a big deal and actually admitted she messed up

In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?
I've had kinda an inverse experience of this.
I was on a vacation to Mexico with my family and we decided to visit a local zoo. For the most part it was pretty similar to what we have back home with lions and gorillas but there was one exhibit that was drawing a large crowd so we decided to go see what it was. Once we are able to get a look inside there were just 4 or 5 white tailed deer grazing on some grass. We got a good laugh because back home these things are common to the point of nuisance. I don't speak Spanish but I then started to notice several children pointing and mentioning "Bambi" to their parents and all the commotion made sense

"No one wants to work anymore"
Any idea on any of these sources? It'd be great to be able to point to actual articles dating back more than a century when having a conversation/debate/argument about the "nobody wants to work" narrative

Is it okay to own a car in a rural area?
I think everyone here understands that most people don't live in northern Europe with great cycling and train infrastructure. So you do what you got to do to live a happy life in car infested capitalist society, nothing wrong with that. If that means you need a car, get a car. Preferably it'd be used and with a low ride height / bumper height. So it's at least a bit safer for cyclist and pedestrians.
I think all we ask is that when there is an opportunity to advocate for more pedestrian or cycling infrastructure that you do so

Suggestions for java dev wannabe?
Spring is the industry standard for basically everything you mentioned. Not sure how much its used in FAANG (I know for a fact Netflix uses it) but its used by a large majority of other companies such as Edward Jones, Enterprise Rent a Car, John Deere and tons of others. Its a well designed framework that has libraries for basically everything you'd want to do. They have tutorials on their website and for anything they don't cover a quick google search will reveal 100's more. I like Baeldung for a lot of in depth guides as well. Finally I'll mention that IMO the Spring site has some of the most extensive and comprehensive documentation I've seen and is a great resource
As for where to start I'd start with Spring Boot, it's a module focused on quickly getting something up and running. So it makes things like dependency management a bit easier as well as running a web-server and connecting to a database. Speaking of dependency management you'll want to take a brief look Maven and Gradle. They're both build tools similar to NPM in concept. Spring supports both equally its just preference. I personally use Maven b/c that's what I was introduced to first through an internship back in the day
Outside of Spring Boot you'll want to take a look at Spring Framework and Spring Data. Spring Framework is the core project that all the others are kinda built on top of and will introduce you to a lot of the concepts you need to learn such as dependency injection. Spring Data is focused on interacting with databases so it helps manage the connection to the db and modeling to/from POJOs and the query language. The nice thing about it is that they do their best to abstract things from the underlying db technology. Working with a tradition sql db or a nosql db are pretty similar from a Spring perspective so go with whatever you're more comfortable with or more interested in
EDIT: Quick edit to clarify, you'll be exposed to Spring Framework and Spring Data just by going through and messing with Spring Boot. I was just suggesting that those would be good places to do deep dives once you're comfortable with the basics in Spring Boot

What’s your white whale?
For years I've been trying to get a rip of the Dragon Ball Z: Rock the Dragon box set usually sells for hundreds of dollars. The thing that makes it special is that its the only release with the voice cast that originally aired in the States. Those voices (Vegeta and Krillin particularly) hold a lot of nostalgia for me
I've been trying to find this for years with no success but when seeing this post I decided to look around again and it seems like luck is finally with me. Some kind soul uploaded all of it along with the Westwood dub (same voice actors doing the later seasons that were dubbed by Funimation here in the states) to archive.org

What's the first game you fire up after an upgrade?
This is gonna sound crazy but Star Wars Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. It was the first game I played on a computer we got when I was in the 4th grade and since then I've made it a tradition to make that the first game I play on any new computer.
To my knowledge it wasn't even a technical power house when it came out but it is always interesting to see it run at resolutions way higher than it was intended for

IDK I saw Logan Lucky for the first time last year and it kinda blew me away. I think heist movies can still be great with the right script
