Are multiple genocides worse than one genocide?

The first version of Windows I used was 2.0. NT was a huge improvement over the DOS based ones, but things started to go downhill with XP.

You mean Windows 2000?

So you know the built-in keyboard shortcut on Windows that opens LinkedIn? (IIRC it's Ctrl+Alt+Win+Shift+L)

That's because Microsoft sold keyboards for a while with "Office keys," so you could hit Office+W for Word, Office+X for Excel, etc. All that key would do is send all those modifiers. There are plenty of unused modifier key codes they could use instead, but they did this.

I'm guessing this key works the same.

All I care to know is what code it sends to the machine so I can submit a merge to Plasma to default that key to opening krunner.

ProNutro, Weetbix, Maltabella, Jungle Oats, Otees.

Five cereals that Proud Boys have probably never heard of.

SGU is so perfectly poised for a continuation at any point. Everyone but Eli is in cryo and we don't know what happened.

Some actors won't come back? Ok, the characters died in cryo. Some actors are sceptical about returning? Their cryo pods are stuck and can't be shut down. David Blue specifically won't come back? Eli didn't manage to fix the last cryo pod. Or maybe he's just missing, along with a shuttle.

Anything could have happened on the ship in the intervening time. Any plot device that's too powerful (like the stones) could go missing. Don't like the enemies that were being set up? That's cool, it's a new galaxy.

And of course, since it's not actually certain how long Destiny will take to cross the gap (maybe Eli had to slow it down?), this continuation is evergreen.

In 2016 a glass bottle found buried in the threshold of a man's house was featured in an episode of Antiques Roadshow filmed in Trelissick, Cornwall; glass specialist Andy McConnell tasted a small amount of the contents theorising it was possibly port or wine though he did note the rusty flavour and the presence of nails, a later episode in 2019 then revealed the contents had been analysed by Loughborough University that identified it actually contained "urine, a tiny bit of alcohol, and one human hair" alongside some brass pins dating from the late 1840s and an ostracod. It was theorised to be a witch bottle.[4][5]

Love it!

Here's the thing though: I have no idea which way you think this is biased without reading more of your analysis. Initially I thought you meant the BBC was biased against Vance because it made Walz look more relatable.

Why would you make jalepeños even worse?

The patriarchy

Most of the people still supporting Stein are calling Bernie a sellout because he's telling people to vote for Democrats.

This is great to see! We need more green energy all over, and rooftop solar is one of the easiest places to do it.

I think this is a net positive, but I really wish this had more housing and less surface parking. I'd love to see the city start requiring that new developments have most of their parking underground.

 

Spot the deep cuts.

 

I have to say, Socotra is my favourite coffee shop in A2, and yet the Daily doesn't even mention it.
