The fans of some streamer are not going to kill you.

Did you miss the part where they were trying to murder most of congress?

Also:

Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer. Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months. Damages caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million.

They do, most of the time. For example if you upload an heic file from an iPhone to a file input on a website that doesn't accept heic files, it'll upload a jpeg.

Apple can't see or control all the different ways of transferring files, though, so in practice it still causes problems sometimes.

The strange thing is that some Android phones also save photos as heic files and make no attempt to convert them, so I still had to add logic to my websites to convert them myself.

Any third party that a left leaning person might vote for will only help Republicans to win elections by siphoning votes away from Democrats.

In fact, that's exactly why they exist.

So yeah, they get hate, because they're actively trying to sabotage progressive causes and usher in fascism.

I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.

Or for another example, see Andrew Tate and all the idiots who follow him.

I don't hate Republicans because they're on the other side of the fence.

I hate them because they're trying to kill some of my friends and family.

If Republicans gain control of the federal government again, people I know will die.

Canada would be. Mexico's homicide rate is almost 5x higher than the USA.

Aside from the island, Wisconsin has 7 different towns named Washington, though most of them have a population in the hundreds.

Of course they have nothing on Indiana, which has 46 towns named Washington, or Iowa, which has 49.

Postgres normalizes table and field names to lowercase, unless you put them in quotes. It's also case sensitive.

That means if you use quotes and capital letters when creating the table, then it's impossible to refer to that table without using quotes.

It also means if you rename the table later to be all lowercase, then all your existing code will break.

Still a much better database than MySQL though.

If you haven't already, try some modpacks. For extra difficulty, the packs based on GregTech are pretty amazing, like GregTech: New Horizons or Nomifactory. They make it so complicated to produce items that you're kind of forced to automate things, and then you keep expanding what your automation can do.

GTNH takes like 2 years to build a pair of star gates if you're playing alone, and they keep making it harder. It's a massive amount of content.

The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that the right to anonymous free speech is protected by the First Amendment. A frequently cited 1995 Supreme Court ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission reads:

Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.
