I envy you. My microwave, oven, car and others all apparently have to have a clock but aren't capable of switching automatically.

I'm not sure why, in the 21st century, we have clocks that can tell the wrong time.

I've heard it suggested that they didn't expect to get as far as they did into Israel and they barely expected to get past the border wall. If that's the case they may not have planned what to do when they did and so there may be no grand strategy behind some or all of it.

I guess we'll never know.

I'm not a big important decision maker but if I always came across your website when searching for answers about software X and your GitHub when looking for code for software X I would go to my manager and say "why don't we just pay this person to sort it out, they seem to know their stuff" and there's a fair chance we'd do it.

But also you can't ask him about his flying all over the world or he'll ban you from press conferences!

I'm always tempted to get one but can't quite justify the purchase. What difference does it make to your quality of life?

Chail is currently being held at Broadmoor high-security hospital and will remain there until he is psychologically well enough to serve his sentence. 

Doesn't give the poor guy much motivation to get better.

Took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out Red Bull vodka is another name for vodka Red Bull.

I used to feel the same about settings pages but I've noticed I'm so used to the auto save settings way I now get annoyed at the opposite - when I change some settings, exit the page and then discover I've lost the changes because I was meant to click save.

I guess either way can work fine it just needs to be properly designed.

This is useful insight but I think it's important to remember that, as messed up as it sounds, different companies and their lawyers will interpret laws differently. It will be a risk vs reward calculation for each company. They won't consider if it's illegal or not, they'll consider whether they're likely to be prosecuted, what the fines would be, what the reputational damage would be, whether they have more lawyers than the government of a moderately sized country etc.

I probably agree with the interpretation you've given and would like the governments to go after companies that think otherwise but that sadly isn't how it works.

I'd suggest not calling anything out. People may well not hear exactly what you said and, even if they do, are unlikely to be able to process the information quickly enough. They'll end up guessing what to do and that will often result in them doing the 'wrong' thing.

Could you provide a explanation for someone not in the US?

Yeah and you can systematically work through the various FODMAPs to figure out which ones cause you problems. It's not that FODMAPs are all bad, it's that there are groups of foods that you might be sensitive to.
