Heck, in the US I'd almost say all politics is political violence. It seems that anytime you advocate for nonviolence here you're called naive at best, murdered at worst. Plus, our whole society was built in blood.

Pfffft as though we'd be so sane as measure flour by weight instead of volume

It looks like the average is 11 PTO days a year according to Forbes, with nearly a third of employees getting zero. I myself get 24 days a year with it going up to 29 in about a year. That said I'm terrified of being effed over by layoffs so I've been hoarding them like a dragon for the payout, which is arguably way way worse than having a nice federal minimum of PTO days.

In published media it's getting really frustrating to find articles that seem like honest reviews. The NYT did an article on toaster recommendations and they praised one for having something like a 3 year warranty because "toasters aren't known for their longevity."

Do you mean correctly? If not, there have been several predictions this month.

There was a lot of talk relating the eclipse and Israel to the end times, and then last week there was this: A screenshot of a Fox News tweet saying that biblical numerology predicts the end of the world will be April 23rd, 2024. A date that is now a week past.

You can re-use letters in the NYT Spelling Bee game.

Is it? I would expect someone to come up with either toggling a variable back and forth for even/odd, or counting by 2s, heck, treat it as a floating point, divide by two, and search the string representation for a period or something!
