Is this counting films in trilogies, or the trilogies themselves?

To all the people saying they should release server source code: You don't even need to do that (as nice as it would be). At the very basic level all that is needed is:

  • remove DRM (which probably cost more effort to add in the first place)
  • a description of the API for any online components (which any decent dev team will already have internally documented)

The solution is clearly to set up sex toy libraries.

...They would never interfere with libraries, right?

In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don't have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu

looking at the junction points on that diagram only one side of the axle would change track if the switch was pulled resulting in a derailment so you could ignore the possibility of hitting the people in the middle thereby reducing this example to two parallel but unconnected trolley problems

I find it immensely infuriating that the article's byline shows they are reporting from 'London' when in fact this happened not just in a different city, Edinburgh, but in a completely different country, Scotland.

Sad about the pandas, there are far too many people that simply can't be trusted with fireworks. Limiting it to a single night in dedicated display venues run by licensed organisations wouldn't remove the noise entirely, but it would reduce the frequency and would probably help all animals.

That 2012 one looks like I've focused it as a UI component. I need to get out and touch some grass.

According to the 3 criteria mentioned in the article, YouTube wouldn't need to be banned, logging in to YouTube would be banned. YouTube is still functional (mostly) when logged out, and wouldn't violate those 3 criteria. The other services mentioned, like gaming, would be banned.

You can't misgender a brand. You can't deadname a brand. You can't befriend a brand.

I misread that as prefix and, honestly, forthwhence doesn't sound half bad.
