So what...there are quite a few people out there that could care less if a phone is water tight. I don't take my phone to the beach/pool/bath. I've owned a cell phone for nearly 30 years and have yet to drop one into water. I miss the days where you could have an extra battery charged and swap out a flat one in 5-10 secs while the flat one recharged in the cradle.

Iâ(TM)m running Monterey on my 2015 MBP via OCLP. This was mostly so I could run a newer version Lightroom. I also have an external boot drive that I move between this MBP and an 2013 Mac Pro. The Mac Pro natively supports Monterey. I wasnâ(TM)t sure if OCLP would be happy with Ventura or newer in this configuration. Howâ(TM)s the performance of Ventura on your system?

Yep it is 2025 and they still say such stupid shit. Take cloud seeding for example. I can guarantee you they won't take strong action to end/deny/shutdown cloud seeding. Because then when all the extreme rains keep happening, they can't point their stupid fingers at anything. Man made global warming is just this thing they have to deny and ignore. And if Trump (who fucking won) were to actually completely shut down cloud seeding, then they'd have no conspiracy to blame. FML. That's just one fun example of their mental gymnastics.

The shift in tone to despising Nazis for being racists mostly came after the War.

Racists are everywhere. Usually, they just say stupid off color things, but they can still be nice/kind/polite to others. Racists come in many varieties and shades of grey. But kill a few million Jews, Greeks, Armenians, and all of a sudden people are ready to start punching some faces.

Everything serious takes a long time with Mozilla (applies to their browsers too). I wonder if they'll ever announce that maildir support isn't experimental? It would also be nice if they dragged the Thunderbird editor out of 1998 and made writing emails a bit more modern. I use Thunderbird because I've used it since Netscape Navigator, but if I discovered it today, I'd just laugh and move on.

Your point of view is basically not the laws as they stand today. You can go to a farm supply store and buy a fairly large amount of 24D and spray your lawn if you want to. It's up to you to read the label and mix as needed. But more importantly, "causing environmental contamination" is also basically pretty hands off in America. When Obama tried to do some water reform it failed to stick. Today a farmer has to opt in to the idea of providing adequate buffers to help cleanup runoff and make streams improve. We know a lot more about how to improve things but it is not really enforced. You choose to do so and get your CRP payments. A LOT of large dairy/feedlots will get approved, and water and aquifer quality is barely a concern in most "ag" states in America. The rivers will tell the truth. And one household and their lawn doesn't have much to do with it. They probably aren't over spraying herbicides or fertilizing to the same degree.
