Of course there are home owners associations in Europe. They’re just not crazy.

Skill issue.

Where I live, the heavily autistic people or other mental disorders usually move out of their parents home long before the parents die.

They get social security payments and pay rent. If they need assistance, they’ll usually choose to live in condos along with other handicapped people, where services is hired as part of the rent. This can be structured in many ways. For instance as an institution owned by the municipality, as a privately owned institution, or as a self-owning institution which is becoming more popular. Regardless of the ownership, the institution or community gets paid by the government and is subject to the same laws.

Anyway, nevermind the details, the government pays for everything in the end. The point is that handicapped people are not legally incapacitated. They have the same rights as everyone else.

In severe cases, they can be financially incapacitated. Autistic people usually don’t need to, but if so they will then be appointed a legal financial guardian. From experience, I can only stress that it is most beneficial to have a legal guardian that is NOT family. The reason is that handicapped people get a modest social security cheque to cover their expenses. However being disabled and all, they don’t really spend a lot of money, so unfortunately family members acting as guardians find opportunities to start leeching. Disgusting, I know, but it’s unfortunately what happens when they get pursuaded to let a distant cousin to run their finances…

In case you were asking about minors losing their parents, they’ll be placed in foster care. Autistic or not.

It’s lice. You get 300 million lice.

Now, can you build the potato clocked, huh?

Maybe this is the 1st. iteration of design, still being copied because nobody bothers making a new design.

People also still say “hello” when they answer the telephone. That’s even older.

They used muzzle loaded cannons at his time, so it makes sense. It’s not only for direction, but for faster rate of fire.

No, you’re not. The internet is unsurprisingly full of people being annoyed with just that.

The most valid explanation is that quotation marks used to mean something else. Before we had bold and italics and underscores, typographers would sometimes use quotation marks for emphasis. This kind of ancient mark-up language can be seen in advertising up until the 1950s or so. It is considered to be wrong now.

Try it, but don’t get disappointed if it doesn’t match your childhood memories at first try.

The ones my parents had in the garden wouldn’t be found in a store. They’re honestly just plain bad, but they’re the ones I remember most fondly.

Apples are much more useful in cooking, except for desserts, where pears are better.

Using the gift of knitwear. It’s so hip.

Honestly, no, I don’t want an easy way to convert.

I generally dislike temperatures.

No, the guitar to amp “instrument line” has even lower current than the line in.

The only hazard with music instruments is if someone turns on phantom power 48V to a microphone that doesn’t use it. Then the grill can give a nasty shock and typically right on the lips.

It appears to be a line signal, so it should be fine. But then again, we can’t see what’s on the other end. Could be a nuclear power plant for all we know.

Sometimes they’re right though.

Of course not if it’s a verifiable fact, but as I’ve grown older, I have seen plenty of historical “facts” getting proven to be wrong. All it takes is for a young mind to challenge the existing views.

Having an open mind is more important than being right. Most inventions happen by accident while pursuing something else, something wrong.

Some people will argue that reversing everything would set a precedent for future governments.

Fuck those people.

It has already been proven that the republicans have no intention of honoring previous decisions. There is no high road any longer. Everything must go.

I imagine a conservative drummer to be someone who shows up with a snare only.

Num pad is much faster for clean numbers than num row because you can use the thumb on zero, allowing you to use all 5 fingers without ever moving the hand.

However the secret to achieve true mad man number typing speeds is to use both hands. Num row is for the left hand. Num pad is for the right hand.

This can be optimized by positioning your left hand on 1 to prepare yourself for Benford’s Law which tells us that a majority of numbers start with 1.

Actual numbers also includes many zeros (but rarely starts with one). The fat zero key on num pad has room for two fingers, just saying.

Is that close to Nassau without the N?
