They could have denied him bail, but once they allowed it, yeah, they were kind of stuck.

Yes, but the government hasn't made that clear in short enough words for the average Conservative voter to understand.

Thing is, there's no "existential threat" to Israel. If they would just retreat behind the borders suggested by the UN in the late 1940s and stay there, the other nations of the world would defend them to the death. The Israeli government keeps getting greedy and then acts surprised when their fingers get burned.

As for Palestine, turn the lot over to the government of the West Bank and support them in restoring order in the Gaza Strip. It isn't ideal, but it's the sanest solution I can see at this point, and it doesn't reward Hamas.

I think the most common advice is, "if you live in an area where this edible mushroom and this impossible-to-tell-apart poisonous lookalike both grow, don't pick either of them."

They are not revealing user names on the site.

You mean, "They are not currently revealing user names on the site." This may easily be the first temperature increment in a frog-boiling process.

(Cynical? Yes, but the world keeps reinforcing that attitude.)

If nothing else works, use a CSS-rewriting extension to set the cookie banner to display:none. Has to be done per-site, unfortunately.

Okay, so people have less disposable income than they did a few years ago, and less need for indoor entertainment devices than they did during the pandemic. Is it really surprising that fewer purchases are being made? (Plus, did they include "digital signage" and monitors with HDMI inputs when they were compiling the statistics?)

Pretty sure the US allows individual states to set the ages. In Canada, it's provinces that set it. Lowest age I've ever heard of was 12 (for limited permits to move farm machinery along back roads in Saskatchewan, although that was decades ago and it might not still be a thing). I had a full and unrestricted license at 16, but the rules have changed since then.

Actually, that's pretty much it. According to the article, it attacks a specific piece of ecommerce software (Magento), and I get the impression the attack isn't viable if the software has all the latest fixes. So it's dangerous only to a subset of servers.

It isn't the only factor, though. You're going to have a harder time getting doctors in Kapuskasing or Sioux Lookout than Toronto no matter what you pay them.

A quick check of Amazon turns up cork sheets sold as backing for coasters that may be of an appropriate thickness.

I've got a couple of these that used to be my mother's, and as long as the cork inserts are still present (they look like they are here) to provide extra friction, I find them quite usable. They have the advantage of being easier to adjust if you have to move the hoop around a lot. You do have to pull the fabric tight again periodically, but I always seem to have to do that anyway. 😅 (I should get a set of stretcher bars, I guess.)
