Not when it’s Buffy. It fit right in.

As far as having children goes, I think it’s more than an economic effect. We also just have a change in personal goals, supported by a change in social expectation.

Choosing to start families at a later stage or just plain choosing not to at all, is sometimes a personal choice independently of economic pressures.

It should be noted that the article title is actually “Fewer young people are meeting these 5 milestones typically associated with adulthood”, and even it’s first sentence acknowledge these milestones as a mix of economic and family milestones - “Fewer young adults are achieving economic and family milestones typically associated with adulthood…”

Last I looked, we weren’t running out of humans, so the drop-off in breeding is mostly a capitalist concern, or a bigoted concern that the wrong humans are breeding.

Firstly, check for crocs.

Then I recommend, while spreading a line of pyrethrym powder to keep away Hercules, that you make a quick call to snake control (keeping a clear line of sight for any circling dingoes and charging 'roos of course).

At this point you should be in a reasonable position (I would say safe, but when are you ever safe) to call in the professionals (do be sure to watch the trees for drop-bears).

At least that’s what I know of the SOP for such matters in Aussie.

I wonder how it’ll do on cost… and regulatory progress in other countries.

Will be watching with interest.

The New Zealand government is working to make smoking great again, cancer be damned…

After all, cancer is a problem for another administration.

(Several of the elected will probably be against a vaccine anyway)

“eliminate”… They’re really making full use of dropping the “don’t be evil” clause aren’t they.

I have been sparing the almighty hell out of mine. When they drop it will be epic.

We must change them!

Require them to symbolically emote at least once per post/comment.

Indeed they are - to a reserve here

If we’re talking adaptation, then ‘centuries’ is fairly irrelevant given how long our generations are…

Also, hasn’t it really only been a small number of centuries where reading has become a regular and critical function for the majority of the population?

Combine that with the fact that it’s long been easier/cheaper to make a uniformly light-coloured ‘paper’ and dark ink, than the reverse.

Using our history of dark-text might just be allowing the technology of the times to drive the future.

A more interesting comparison might be that we started with dark displays and light text (amber and green-screens) and moved to white displays with dark text later on.

Was that change due to a desire to mimic the paper medium?

Was it down to the quality of displays at the time (light bleed on CRTs might have driven this flip from dark to light once uniformity and brightness reached useful levels)?

Or was it because more people prefer dark text over light?

Regardless I’d like to finish by virtually girding my loins, brandishing my digital spear, and warning everyone that they’ll have to pry dark-mode from my cold-dead hands.

No no no… This, that, and those other ones…

:)

The mere thought hadn’t even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind…

(Credit to Douglas Adams for the quote… But I’m taking the credit for personally dodging the FB platform)

Are they kidding.

This is slavery, not even indentured servitude, let alone a fair exchange of labour for compensation… There is no point at which the slave is released to make use of those skills.

Any and all skills gained are either used as tools by the owner, or as coping/survival mechanisms by the slave.

Slavery is, in all ways, an abhorrent exploitation and degradation of a human being.

That there is even the slightest tolerance for this curriculum change is appalling. Is Florida really so filled with the morally bankrupt and apathetic that this can pass without ending the careers of the contributors?

How can we ever expect greater progress on stamping out the ongoing modern forms of slavery, when things like this can make its way into the classroom.

I really hope this change is crushed before it reaches the ears of impressionable children. But the fact that it got this far means that this is the kind of thinking that too many already get at home.

Definitely B5. For all of its issues it’s one I still enjoy.

We would. And we’d tend not to be using such verbose variable names. Avoiding abbreviation in the method and type-names is idiomatic though.

The Samsung 55" Oddity in ‘cockpit’ mode has you covered.

Well. It’s certainly close. Still looks a little tight.

Maybe the upcoming Samsung 57" 32:9 2160p will finally get us there…

If I see any other clones show up I’ll add them to my private clone as remotes.

This way I can easily collate any updates they receive and, if they all start disappearing I’ll be able to re-publish it somewhere anonymously.

Hopefully that provides another tricky target for take-down whack-a-mole.
