The quote's a famous monologue from Hamlet.

About that speech

I think that because you're attributing those views to "the citizenry". I can only go on the words you've used, and you've used a word that describes the whole country's population, not a small minority.

The make-up and mindset of the citizenry doesn't change just because the government changes.

It's a small minority from the far right rioting, with massive counter-protests. You're trying to say the whole population is rotten based on a few negative examples, which ironically is just what the racists are doing themselves.

Rats definitely can (also for TB), and you can sponsor them to do so: https://apopo.org/

Magawa was a famous example: https://time.com/6138994/magawa-dies-landmines-cambodia/

Are they allowed to put jokes in legal documents like this? (I know it's gone now)

Slapping palms as a form of greeting a friend and then holding their hand as you pull your fingers back until it makes a snapping sound.

Thank you, Urban Dictionary!

I've raged at the incompetent UX design so many times, like recently when I was trying to add videos to the currently playlist in a certain order, since you can't reorder yourself. The mini player blocked the controls I needed for the last item on the page, but closing the player wiped out the playlist. Cue scream of rage and a few choice words at volume.

I can't find a suitable word in English, but I'm shocked and dismayed that German doesn't have anything we could steal.

There's a lot of smaller communities that are only kept going by one dedicated poster, or never got the critical mass to keep going, which is a shame.

Hang on, if you're using CrowdStrike but not getting the updates, then why are you using it at all?

It's just riding off the coat tails of the OG 1+1=2

Yeah, the surprise ending was amazing the first time I saw it, and it's still satisfying now after all these years.

I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn't checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I'm reassured that it's a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.
