Maybe there's some precedent, but I can't see why equally proportionate punishment should be unconstitutional.

I learned this from Professor Moby.

Literally the opposite of what Mr Burns did.

There's a little historical baggage, but look at Windows: multiple letters for drives, and all of the paths can be modified, so you have to ask Windows where any important directory is physically mapped (like SystemRoot or Documents or Temp or Roaming AppData or many others), because it doesn't have this nice consistent structure like Linux. Linux presents a logical layer and manages the physical location automatically. Windows makes you do the logical lookup yourself, but doesn't enforce it, so inexperienced programmers make assumptions and put stuff where the path usually is.

That's part of why logging in to Windows over a slow connection can take forever if you have a bunch of Electron apps installed: they've mismapped their temp/cache directory under the Roaming AppData, so it gets synched at every login, often GiB of data, and they refuse to fix it.

I'm just shocked at the vanity of people aggressively voting third party. They value the purity of their voting record more than other people's lives. They think they're the first generation to figure out morality or the secret cheat code to change the system.

If intent matters and results don't, I'll write in my favorite fictional candidate!

Most people can't afford to move.

Cars don't scale.

As soon as there is real traffic, cars become inefficient trains.

If you're somewhere that doesn't have much traffic yet, it'll seem fine, but that doesn't always last.

If you can make a bicycle work, that's much healthier and cheaper to own and operate for all those people that can't afford a car, or don't want to be indentured to it. Cargo bikes even work fine for groceries, depending on your family size.

Not a problem for the FRC, and 2023-W20 compares just fine with 2024-W20. Same part of the year, and the weekend is in the same spot.

If that were true, intercalary months shouldn't have been necessary.
