The only one who cares, apparently...

It would also be interesting to know how they plan to balance the grid when the ship plugs is.

Wine on top of X / Wayland isn't good enough. It needs to be Wine (or loss32) directly on top of the Linux kernel, started as an init.

Much more likely they'll invade Belarus, then Letonia, Estonia, etc. well before they invade Moldova.

Just make sure you won't get one of those implants that cause metal toxicity / dementia:

A couple? I only see one.

Capitalism evolves into Crony Capitalism just as Communism evolves into Dictatorship and Tyranny, Feudalism evolves into Serfdom, etc. I'm just surprised it lasted this long...

I was expecting to see a tablet/phone in the top place: repeatability = 5, length of play = 5, clean up ease = 5.

I know it's bad to give a kid a tablet, but the scoring used in the article is that bad it didn't award any points for how good it is for a child...

Yeah, my husband told me after I published that I missed the iPad as as the clear #1.

Yeah but I'm glad you don't consider the ipad a toy. It's not a toy, i predict that we're going to look back at this time of 'ipad + headphone kids' and roll our eyes as much as we roll our eyes at bloodletting.

Screen devices can be a toy but it takes very intentional use of them.

My child has had an old iPhone se since 4yo. It has no network connection. I load music on it. It only has music, camera, and voice recorder apps. Like most toys it gets intense periods of play and then goes back in the toy box with a dead battery for weeks.

It's my assertion that the problem with tablets/phones as toys for kids is the endless stream of new content. It's addictive and never gets old. If you find a way to cut off the firehouse of new (and keep the addictive apps off) then they eventually become just another boring toy. Us adults could learn from this too.

> all who voted yes would then be marked, with repeated offenders being investigated and potentially charged with attempted treason.

Not possible by design in any country. Democratic countries would invoke separation of power, authoritarian countries wouldn't have independent justice in the first place.

People usually call separation of power that the people that

    * apply the law to cases (judges)
    * execute these decisions (police)
    * decide what the law is (politicians)

Need to be separate organizations.

My daydream you've cited there would not be in violation of this, and I struggle to see how you would think it is.

You're surely aware that such a court already exists in all democratic nations I'm aware of and can slash down these passed laws already/force amendments to be made for it to take effect, yes?

Or did you take offense how I didn't write a 10 page document outlining how this could be legally implemented in a specific country?

A politician can't be investigated or prosecuted for doing his/her job, no matter how badly incompetent or evil it is. If a judge would have the power to do that, then it indirectly gains the legislative power which breaks the separation of pwers.

A politician can be held accountable of they break the law.

This should be obvious to anyone, otherwise actual corruption would be legal - not just the similie of lobbying which does effectively the same, but skirts the actual legality by not promising anything for the money received

What I obviously said was make voting for anything clearly incompatible with the foundational laws to be illegal, just like actual corruption already is. Hence no, it would not be in violation and I continue to be surprised you're unironically of this opinion

Changing or repealing the law is against the law by definition. It would be a catch-22 to change any law if it became illegal to vote against it.
