When I bought my Windows 11 laptop a month ago, I was able to set up a local account after turning on airplane mode. (I had entered my wifi password in an earlier step since I thought it was just for installing updates.)

I have no idea why the USA spends money on training international students until they get their PhD and then doesn't automatically give them permanent residency. One guy I know came from Iran to get his physics PhD and although he has managed to stay in the USA with a work visa, by default the USA would have sent him back to Iran!
Dibs on being the palm tree.
The study claims that the area covered by "rock gardens" was significantly smaller than previously believed, but I'm not sure how that contradicts the collapse narrative. Presumably if there had been a collapse, the people before the collapse obtained their nutrition from sources other than rock gardens. Am I missing something?
The two poorly-rated "classic" Simpsons episodes are both clip shows (the second and third such episodes):
S06 E03: Another Simpsons Clip Show
S09 E11: All Singing, All Dancing
The first clip show episode, S04 E18, is lower-rated than its neighbors but still gets a 7.0, perhaps because of the IMO hilarious "April Fools" framing narrative.
Also notably unpopular classic episodes:
S08 E24: The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase (three non-canonical segments that are deliberately bad for the sake of humor)
S09 E02: The Principal and the Pauper (Principal Skinner is revealed to be a fraud)
My impression is that the construction of wind turbines is opposed only in the sorts of place where no one would even consider strip mining - e.g. places where wealthy people live. Aesthetic sensibility is a luxury.
Edit: I'm not saying this to imply that people are wrong to develop aesthetic sensibility once they can afford to. I'm not so wealthy that I can afford to do anything about, say, a building being built that ruins my view, but as a member of the middle class I can participate in collective opposition to something like a nearby strip mine, whereas I wouldn't if I were so poor that I would welcome working as a miner.
I spent those years in dll hell.
Romans got to determine the terminology that people would use for thousands of years.
Celts got their culture disrespected and forgotten.

...and why do kids these days say ooh-wooh?
$600 less in gas costs over the lifetime of a car? Isn't that a rather small amount? Less than one tank of gas per year... Are they comparing a 50 mpg car to a modern car or to a hypothetical future car with better gas mileage?
TLDR version: not actually 11 commandments, just an extra line break in the shall-not-covet commandment.
