Most Americans are incapable of seeing the big picture. They'll drive to the polling station cursing about all the bicyclists in the road, vote against bike lanes "because I don't use them", and drive home still cursing about all the bicyclists in the road. They could have been on a bike path out of your way, you know!

Is it common for curling athletes to be doing it full time? I don't know many curlers, but all the ones I'm familiar with have a day job, including the ones in Norway, where there's a pretty strong focus on winter sports.

If someone is willing to commit other crimes on the bus, they're probably willing to get on the bus without paying as well.

Why would Canadians not want to leave their good snow to try out the American snow-less fascist slopes? It's a mystery!

It says "meal service", no mention of whether she can pick what to eat. Both that and the off-hours visitations could be to protect her from other prisoners. Kid diddlers aren't usually popular among other inmates, and she's a pretty well known one.

And if she's being isolated to protect her from other prisoners, the puppy access could be to allow her some socializing. Full isolation is pretty bad for you. Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik got three parakeets for the same reason (he wanted a dog or a pig, but that was deemed impractical).

Guys, it's okay! The presidents are only responsible for the jobs market when they're Democrats.

Well, they did choose to remove the poll numbers when they could have chosen to doctor them instead.

Ah, I forgot about that. Yes, that's a pretty big deal. Thanks for pointing that out. Debian have always been pretty purist about non-free software, to the detriment of new users.

If the group is for ovarian cancer sufferers and they require a diagnosis to participate, discriminating on sex is just needless complexity. Why open up ambiguity (e.g. for intersex cancer sufferers) when it's already determined by the diagnosis?

Also somehow the King James version is authoritative, after who knows how many links of translation phone games?

Haha, didn't even think of that. Of course it's a Nobel Prize reference.

Depends entirely on your distro. Some distros, within weeks, other distros will take up to a few years. Just depends on whether your distro prioritizes bleeding edge or stability.
