Mickey and Minnie’s Gift of the Magi says otherwise
It’s a really poorly written article. The FOX 55 article they link is definitely better written.
This article starts by saying it’s a “local Indianapolis grocery store” and then says it’s in Fort Wayne. If a Fort Wayne grocery store counts as Indianapolis then every grocery store in the entire state must count as an Indianapolis grocery store.
Do you have a source for that? As far as I can tell he supported decriminalization and allowing individual states to legalize but I don’t see any sources where he supported full legalization.
You’re probably thinking of the Pentagram from Virginia.
Any commercial entity that knowingly shares or distributes material that is harmful to minors on a website and such material appears on 25% or more of the webpages viewed on such website in any calendar month
(emphasis mine)
They can host as many non-porn videos as they want but it doesn’t matter if people aren’t watching those videos. For every webpage with porn, they’d have to force the user to visit three webpages without porn first.
I can’t actually tell if this is an incredible reference to the documentary Finders Keepers or just a fortuitous coincidence.
Cocaine and meth are schedule 2 and ketamine is schedule 3, but when I went through DARE they still got lumped in with all the schedule 1 drugs.
That article also says:
The new sandwiches became available Tuesday, though customers can still make substitutions or create their own sandwiches.
If you walked into a store and ordered the classic black forest ham, by default it basically comes plain and you’re expected to pick out your own preferred toppings. But if you go in and order the new grand slam ham instead, it by default comes with a reasonable set of default toppings. You’re still allowed to customize but now a lot of people won’t need to.
And all this is moot for online ordering since the website does include default toppings for the classic sandwiches.
15 GOP governors, for starters

It’s contextual. If it’s used in a phone number, it’s a pound sign. If it’s placed before a number, it’s a number sign. If it’s placed before a tag, it’s a hash/hashmark/hashtag.
No one would pronounce “#foo” as “pound foo” any more than they’d call a #2 pencil a “pound two pencil”. Because “pound” is clearly not the right name in either context.
Americans have been comfortable using different names for the symbol in different contexts since long before hashtags even existed. So when websites started using them and referred to them as “hashtags”, that was fine. It was a new context so it could use whichever name it wanted. (Well, “octothorpe-tag” is probably far too unwieldy to catch on.)
Of course if we’re talking about the symbol without a specific context, then we have to pick one of the names. For most Americans, that “default” name is probably still “pound”. Twenty years ago I’d definitely say that, but even then it wasn’t ubiquitous. It wasn’t uncommon to hear it referred to as a hash. And it seems like the use of “pound” has declined and the use of hash has increased as people now spend more time online and less time dialing phone numbers. There’s also a generational divide with older people more likely to say “pound” and younger people more likely to say “hash”.
I’m sure the local community does value quiet. But unfortunately we don’t have any feedback from the local community. We only have OP’s points of view. So I’m left to wonder whether this family was actually being disruptive by the local community’s standards or if OP is blowing this out of proportion. If it’s the former, then OP could have done everyone in that library a favor by politely bringing it up with the library staff instead of just complaining about it online. If instead the problem is that OP has different standards than the community does, then that’s just too bad for OP because they’re not the one actually paying for the library.
I see. Yeah, the end cursor can take some getting used to.
The thing that always messed me up when starting out was how deleting any text overwrites the clipboard. It was an odd quirk at first but I kind of like it now.
I still constantly wrongfoot copy and paste regularly
What do you mean by this?
Aren’t libraries mostly funded by local taxes? Since OP is traveling around the country, they’re probably not paying for the local library. Or at least a much smaller portion than the local kids’ parents.
It’s unfortunate if a library cannot provide both a space for children and a quiet area for adults, but if they have to choose they should prioritize the local community’s needs over the out-of-towner’s.
It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out
People got so hyped up about “Fallout in space” that they just ignored what the developers were saying about the game. They straight up said that it wasn’t going to be a big open world like Fallout and it wasn’t going to provide as many hours of gameplay.

Sexless? I have definitely never heard Indians described that way before…
I played this on Android. It was a lot of fun.
