Not trying to be that guy, but ActivityPub is technically owned by the W3C. I agree with the sentiment of your post regarding the free nature of AP.

The crazier thing is that other bettors know people with inside info are cheating and don't care.

This is just like gambling on sports when you know that the players are also betting. It's insane.

When we bought our house, all the appliances were new. The roof was "recently" re-shingled and the HVAC wasn't new, but was in good condition. I said to my wife that is was great but everything was going to fail at the same time.
In the past 3 years we've replaced:

The DMV might actually be sorry about it. The governor (who oversees the DMV) vetoed the bill, but the legislature overrode her veto. If it was up to the governor, this law would have never been in place.

HERE IT COMES
The federal government will be subsidizing Florida homeowners soon enough. Florida is politically important and it's is everyone's god-given right to move to somewhere warm when they retire and have their homes rebuilt at no cost to them every 5 years.

The answer will be that these assholes are part of our club, so we'll be happy to throw money at them. Rich people have class solidarity that would make a Marxist blush.

Update on former friend of 20 years, he is still not happy about the halftime show.
Guys, if you don't want to watch the halftime show, don't watch it. I don't know why people feel the need to announce that they won't and get upset that other people will still watch it.
I mean, my brother in christ, I don't watch Dave Chappelle's standup specials anymore, but you don't hear me posting about it every time he's got a new one out.

Which high school friend took a path you didn't expect?
I'm from a small town that has 3 factories in it. They employ a good portion of the area.
A friend of mine who was pretty socially awkward but really smart worked in one of the factories in the summers while he was going to college for accounting. He got his degree and...moved back home. He still works at the factory full time on the floor. We graduated high school in 2002.

Oddly enough, the old joke was "it says My Computer because Bill Gates thinks it's his."
I do agree with the sentiment of the meme and your comment.

People who have been to psych wards before, how was it?
These are my experiences in Ohio in a privately-run in-patient hospital. I had two stays of about 6 days each.
The time is for you to get better and figure out what is triggering your mental health issues. The most important thing to remember is that you will probably never be 100% "fixed", but you can learn to live with your condition.

Polls: If German Elections Were Held Today The Far-Right AFD Party Would Come to Power
This is an incorrect interpretation of the poll. The AfD would be the largest party in the Bundestag, but that doesn't mean they would form a government. After coalition discussions, it could easily be CDU/CSU leading the way.
Edit: To be clear, this kind of support for the AfD is a really bad sign, but it doesn't mean they'd form the government.

Used to be me. I ran Debian Unstable for years. Got tired of it breaking. I installed Stable probably 7 or 8 years ago and never looked back.

I've heard people complain that women with small breasts have an unfair advantage in several sports because women with large breasts are weighed down by them.
