Which one of your .ml buddies got banned from a community or instance, why did it inspire you to post such a contrived “question” in this community, and how clever did you convince yourself that your little pet hypothetical was when you hit “send?”
Searching is fun again.
What? When was searching ever “fun”? And when was that even a desirable state? Statements like this contribute to the propensity to dismiss kagi fans as shills.
You had the choice to post drivel or keep it to yourself, so I’m not too keen on your decision-making skills.
Likely not. She’d have been of age by the time she took office. It’s very slightly nebulous, but it’s more in line with precedent that she is already eligible. For further details, see Joe Biden’s initial term in Congress. He was 29 when he campaigned and was elected in the November 7th, 1972 election. He turned 30 on November 20th, making him of age when he took office in January of 1973.
AOC will turn 35 before the election even takes place, which suggests that she has even more of a claim to eligibility than Biden would have in '72. It’s all moot now, as the DNC (probably wisely, from the look of things now) chose to make the easier transition to the sitting VP as their candidate. There were several advantages to this strategy, but that’s a different discussion.

Couldn’t agree more. They used the form provided to them. Withholding ballot access based on a technicality smacks of disenfranchisement.
To add to your point regarding additional functions inherent in smartphones: pagers do one thing. They’re relatively simple devices. Simplicity means that there are fewer things that can cause the device to function incorrectly or fail to function altogether. In hospital communications use-cases, this is a huge benefit.
Additionally, pagers are relatively inexpensive. Therefore, it’s much more effective to have multiple spares available for distribution compared to smartphones. If a pager is inoperable, it can quickly be swapped out with a backup while the original is repaired or replaced. Smartphones do not carry that benefit.
No… porque no los dos

That’s a section of track where the break has been found and documented. At the very least, significant damage that is suspected to be related to sabotage would require additional thorough inspection of the surrounding railway.
This particular rail system is pretty clearly using reinforced concrete ties.
You could do it with a hacksaw, if you had enough replacement blades. And you could do it with an arsenal of bastard files as well. Each iteration on the idea takes considerably more time and effort, though. Those rails are quite a bit tougher than you might realize.
Oh well if Vance said it then it MUST be true, right?
Fucking dbag.
Sure they do, it’s just phrased awkwardly. He attended Catholic school through his fifth grade year, and non-Catholic school until he ultimately dropped out at age 14.
The “political” before “Supreme Court apointees” implies a lack of impartiality.
“Election cycle” and “term of office” aren’t synonymous.
No shit…
I agree with all you’ve said, and I tend to add both systems when expressing a meaningful measurement. My statement is pointed more towards situations where someone hasn’t done so and it throws some poor soul into a meltdown.
Counterpoint: there is no continent named “America.” “North American,” “South American,” and even “Central American,” or “Latin American,” for added specificity, are completely sufficient demonyms for the denizens of the continents (and subreigon) writ large.
Regarding weights and measures:
I don’t think in metric, and there’s a strong possibility that I never will. I came of age in an educational system that taught metric units alongside imperial, but also in a day-to-day world that heavily skews towards imperial units.
If I see metric units that I can’t immediately interpret in my head, it’s absolutely trivial for me to get the conversion by other means. It’s equally as trivial for someone who uses metric to make the opposite conversion.
Anyone losing their shit about it is acting performatively.
The second-best time for concern is now.
