Somehow I can never seem to forget my ICQ number. 28493804. I have no idea why that's always in my brain, but it is.

Just missed my ICQ account which was about 27ish years old. Ok it wasn't in frequent use.

My gmail account has been in continuous use since 2009, although I use it less now that I used to.

Glad I could be of service.

MIT used to have the Billion Prices Project which tried to determine inflation numbers independently of the government, but it no longer exists. My recollection is that it was generally close to the official numbers.

If you think the reported numbers are wrong, you have to give a reason why, backed with evidence. As much as it sucks when rent and food, etc. are more expensive, but those are only part of the number. Inflation encompasses everything and some goods/services are higher than the average number and some are lower. For instance, car insurance has gone up a ton, but apparently fuel oil has gone down (https://econofact.org/inflation-and-prices).

I think what people are (rightly) concerned about is that the necessities of life are higher than the official numbers (because those are an average of lots of things). This makes them think the real numbers are "wrong" based their specific situation rather than the country at large.

How many divisions has the Supreme Court?

They can order him released but unless they're going to send a bailiff to try to break him out of federal prison, they're just words on a sheet of paper.

Depends on the state.

Interesting. So far so good for me.

I don't mind the old packages (I'm typing from Debian Stable right now). If that's a bother for other people Debian Stable isn't the way to go. Even I wouldn't recommend Stable on a desktop/laptop unless that person knew what they were getting themselves into. I used to run Sid a while back, but didn't want to have to deal with the mild breakage from time to time. Generally speaking it's "stable enough" for most people, especially on a daily driver.

That being said, I have a few flatpaks running, but that's mostly because they're apps that aren't packaged for Debian.

Today she could have paid for the procedure by posting it on OnlyFans.

Plenty of right-wing evangelical churches to do that!

I am sorta learning French on Duolingo (and took 2 years in high school).

Articles like this one are really helpful, but also show the difficulty in learning the gender of nouns: How to easily guess the gender of French nouns with 80% accuracy
