Despite Texas being so gun-friendly, it's probably something with "possession of a firearm during commission of a crime" or something.

It could also be some IDN tricks. Most browsers translate mixed scripts into punycode nowadays, but it can be easy to get tricked. Just go to their official site if you're unsure.

For example: https://xn--prtn-1ndb.me/ looks like a normal link... but the O's have been replaced with the Greek letter omicron.

Haven't Debian and most other distros stopped supporting "i386" for quite a while now? I remember reading something like that, but they still have 32-bit isos up.

I don't abuse alcohol. I love alcohol, so why would I abuse it?

The last two are Meta, and Philip Morris International.

Meh, I guess I've been at much more humane workplaces, where it feels nicer to get my work done efficiently and then no one cares if I leave much earlier.

How much do you smoke?

You mean 7, right? Most people skipped 8, and that's why Microsoft made the update to 10 free.

Aren't the budgets based on the tax income for the districts? Wealthier people tend to be white, and wealthier people have more alternatives on where to live... so why would they choose to live somewhere without clean water, just to save a bit of money?

It's still the same answer in the end... but it's not like some councilman is saying "those blacks won't be getting clean water as long as I'm in charge", no? I'd imagine that neighborhoods filled with poverty-whites would also have bad water quality.

the blank cheques being handed out wastefully

What blank cheques exactly?

And I'm not sure how you do it down in oz, but in most other countries, the government creates budgets for each agency, and those agencies then decide how to allocate their funds. If the government thinks that some agency is wasting too much money, they reduce their budget. There's not supposed to be a king who decides all that on a whim.

And how many "blank cheques" to the defense industry have been investigated? Surprise, because it's not about cutting "wasteful spending".

I'm confused, I've seen hexbears posting within the last week, but the domain apparently expired almost a month ago?
