You can't say all distros because there's always some asshole using some obscure version that makes it impossible to move a file or the correct location is different. Then everything devolves into how dare you not know this thing attacks.

    Precise definition isn't really practically necessary. It's only useful if you need to independently recreate a system in isolation. It's much easier to have a reference material and just copy it. You can even build a reference length if you have something with known measurements.

    This looks like a gambling app. So it's not that you can't close it until it's not used. Voluntary exclusion is a mandatory policy required by legislation so a gambling addict can ask a casino to functionally ban them. This app is extra predatory in that they don't allow a permanent ban right away. Their goal is to make it take multiple requests so an addict can relapse and spend more money and it's the addicts fault.

    Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

    • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

    This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

    Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

     

    Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

    Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

    The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.
