Disney is cutting off its roots this way.

It's true, seifs are for ease of reading ... but so is Calibri. However, I believe Calibri was created for ease of reading on screens, while this article talks about documents on letterhead. So it's possible the choice of Calibri was misguided to begin with. Furthermore, according to the article, the number of “accessibility-based document remediation cases” – which I take to mean instances where somebody requests a document be reformatted for accessibility reasons – has not declined. So he's saying that, while this is a purely subjective aesthetic choice, the original change to Calibri never helped anything anyway.

Everything is gambling now.

Meanwhile, the most preventable of diseases are becoming commonplace.

Proper language use is almost nowhere to be found anyway and seems to be too much effort for people. They use whatever easy or fancy expression they feel like at the time.

But not for consumers if they still keep the AI hype up and everything is bought up for datacenteers..

The 1996 Opel Astra 1.6 does even better by my quick calculation. Been driving it because mum can no longer drive it and the last two long trips ended up roughly at 1 litre per 19.8 km, and 17.2 km.

My best mate noted the supposed better economy of the lease cars he rode wasn't all that better over the years. Not surprisingly with the average weight of cars going up.

Will it cause healthy food to become cheaper than the junk?

Although I don't buy the worst food because we have health standards here, if I would switch over to completely healthy my grocery bill would become two to three times more expensive.

Who says that the proposal isn't according to the fictional character's will, which no one can prove or disprove? And it certainly is shaped by human reason.

I'll bet you two billion I can lose money better than you. :-p

Just think of the meaning of delighted as de-lighted, i.e. have taken the light away.

How long do you have to hold the Planck position for it to be a unit?

So, nothing changed?

Being religious already means you;'re easily enough to fool with fairy tales. Now try not to hurl realising 85% of people adhere to one religion/cult or another.

Btw, Gervais had a point, why is there are term for not believing in a fantasy like an almighty god, but not one for not believing fairy tales or fantasy fiction or the like? I don't feel like im atheist, I feel like I'm a person with reasoning capability, knowing fantasy from reality (I'd never call myself normal in the first place :-p ).

Windows 2000 (workstation and server) was the best version that I worked with. Anything after that was only downhill and even 2000 had plenty to complain of.

A completely blank desktop (currently openbox on Devuan) is the only one that I like. Give me a bare-bones OS with network connection and everything else as opt-in.
