The US started using mailboxes 14 years after the UK

In 1849, the Royal Mail first encouraged people to install letterboxes to facilitate the delivery of mail. Before then, letterboxes of a similar design had been installed in the doors and walls of post offices for people to drop off outgoing mail.

In 1863, with the creation of Free City Delivery, the US Post Office Department began delivering mail to home addresses.

During the pandemic any degree of effectiveness would save lives, so emergency approval was justified.

What? Pretty sure the requirement of effectiveness was at least 70%, and the approved vaccines had a >90% effectiveness. Obviously as the virus mutated the effectiveness nosedived, but they were very effective against the original strain. (edit: Effectiveness versus getting infected at all, not against serious illness and death, which remains good)

The 5GB free space of my OneDrive is filled with game saves in the documents folder. You can't exclude directories there from being backed up. Good job.

Seems like you're pretty far from getting it.

I read newspapers in several languages and see your strawman in comments all over the world: Criticizing Israel means supporting Hamas.

In reality pretty much everyone is explicitly not supporting Hamas terrorists while arguing for a stop to the Israeli atrocities.

It's not supporting Hamas to point out that Israel is doing horrible things.

What if they write a GUI interface in Visual Basic to track your IP address?

Putting Ctrl in the home row by replacing the useless Caps-Lock is sufficient for me .

Alt is easily reached with the thumbs and shift is already close enough to the home row, with shift-ctrl using both pinkies.

Don't worry, the good bible has the answer.

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,
29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
