But, like, they do all believe in the same god. They’re just arguing over which prophets’ teachings were correct.

The sun set earlier,

It didn’t. You just go up earlier and pretended.

We did year round DST in the 70s and it resulted in kids being hit by cars on the way to school in the winter.

Heart attacks and strokes are more frequent after DST starts

No they enacted permanent DST in the 70s. OP is asking for arguments against ending DST. The backlash against permanent DST in the 70s was because kids going to school in the early morning darkness were being hit y cars.

We already tried year-round DST in the 70s. It didn’t last through the first year because kids were getting hit by cars on the way to school in the early morning darkness.

House seats are required to be filled by a special election. Senate seats the state can do either an appointed replacement or a special election. Looks like Kentucky, North Dakota, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin went with the special election option.

I keep getting the vacated seat rules mixed up between the House and Senate.

brilliant. Reduce the already slim Senate majority in an election year that is building up to be bad for your party. nice.

His faith-based takedown of the bill to put up donated ten commandments posters in classrooms was pretty great.

I think they meant civil versus criminal rather than nice vs mean.

welcome to Talibannessee

I feel like #1 and #2 are problems whether its client side or server side. As for #3 I would lean in the direction of there being a one-time check with no persistent knowledge. Like when you flash your ID to the bartender to order a drink. A client app that scans the ID and returns the answer to the requestor.

But I don’t think there is any way to reliably implement this sort of thing. I think it should really just be left to parental control and monitoring.

Some kind of cryptographic signing of the executable could probably help with that.

Ultimately I don’t believe there can ever be a foolproof solution and the emphasis should be on client-side parental controls.

This goes in a better direction than web sites doing it themselves, I think. The government put out an open source tool that runs locally and the browser just gets a yay/nay return code from it.

What if it was just an off the cuff joke?

You know Russ, I’ve been known to fuck myself.

I guess you’re not thinking of “locked down” in terms of independent developers finding the iOS and Android “play by our rules and be distributed thru our app store or we’ll make it hard for users to run your software” to be a barrier to distribution.

I was referring to this

If this technology is successful, the end result could be that we would see our Linux laptops one day being as locked down as an Iphone or Android device.
