The pizza is way worse, because it's about half saturated fat. The most common cooking oils (canola, soybean, olive) are mostly unsaturated fat.

Salt is any ionic compound. Usually only compounds that are solid at room temperature, but most ionic compounds already are.

Bleach is anything that chemically destroys pigments to make things whiter. Normal bleach is sodium hypochlorite. Non-chlorine bleach could be anything.

Disco Elysium

I acknowledge that it was well received, but it was from 2019.

Elder Scrolls 6 will no doubt be polarizing, with some calling it the game of the decade, and others saying that the TES formula just doesn't work anymore. (The game might also just suck.)

Isn't "1+1" the definition of 2?

Third parties certainly know what effect they have. Their motivation is not to make the second party candidate win. Their motivation is to change the first party candidate.

According to Hotelling's Law, a two-party political system with FPTP voting results in candidates that are very similar. This is why the Democrats won't run real progressives for most offices, and why Sanders was forced out in 2016 with the excuse that he wasn't "electable" enough.

Third parties running for president aren't trying to win. They're trying to eat some of the votes on their side, thus pulling the main party candidates toward that third party candidate to reclaim those votes.

Stein has arranged a lot of good climate protests. Never held office though, as far as I can find.

I don't know much about client certificates, because nobody ever used them. All I know is that they are decades older than passkeys, and "certificate" implies there is a public-private keypair, just like in a passkey.

What are the benefits of a passkey over a client certificate?

Doing good cryptography is hard, and a lot of work. Designing a good key escrow system or other back door is more cryptographic work, so more chances to get it wrong, and more chances for the corporate overlords to demand corners be cut for cost savings.

Even if the software has meticulously perfect cryptography, the government definitely won't. The feds will:

  • give away keys to other feds, or local cops, for bad faith reasons.
  • give away keys to other cops for good faith reasons, though the other cops are not authorized. This increases the attack surface.
  • misuse keys themselves for bad faith reasons, like spying on their ex-girlfriend.
  • have poor security from the start, and get their keys stolen by hackers, both foreign and domestic.

Don't thank God. God was a supporter of the 6-day work week.

Thank a labor activist.
