It’s a game for kids!
Kids get infinite registers and no restrictions on stack ordering. Programmers are constrained to solving it with one register and restrictions on stack put operations.

We should have adult playgrounds too. How much could it cost?
Parks. Parks, trails, reserves, and other public recreational areas. These are adult playgrounds paid for by taxes.

please don't use the dash
I have apparently become principal Skinner. Please explain, youngster. How has typing out emotes that have a dash nose become sexual harassment??

Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption

That's. That's the whole point. Things costing their true value.
Business exist to make money (even non profits need to make enough money from either sales or donations to cover operating costs). If something costs them more, it's going to cost their customers more. This way negative externalities aren't swept away to become an unmanageable problem in the future. The true cost of consumption is reflected in the price we pay.
What you're describing as a bad thing is really the system working for good, as it was intended.

The most useful state comparison
I wonder how it would look if it were a moose population density visualization. Who has more moose per square mile, Alaska or Maine?

Religion in Hospitals
Ironically, the Catholic Church had historically operated a not-insignificant percentage of hospitals in the US and around the world. Odds are if there's a 'St/Saint' in the name, it is (or was originally) a Catholic hospital.
This isn't as new as it appears the joke is implying :/

Multiple dashes, I'd understand being problematic. Ah, the joys of getting old; can't tell when the younger generations are making a joke vs When something has become a faux pas ./shrug

No offense, but to the uninformed, wet bulb could as easily evoke images of spring flowers in cool spring morning dew.

South Korea sent a fully-kitted out player for the Olympic shooting. Turkey sent an 51 yr old guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover or ear protection and got the silver medal

We know. Everyone knows. The ear plugs are visible in many photos/video clips

Phones should have FM radio again
Fun fact: almost every phone on the market has the hardware. It's just drivers/software that are missing (and, more recently, the antenna's been unavailable with the removal of the audio jack. The radio chip is still in there though)

There's rootless docker, or podman, or numerous other container runtimes. The beauty in containers is separating concerns. How you choose to run it, root or rootless, is up to you in all but the nichest of scenarios.
