In my experience, it's rare in North America for the bathroom or any rooms door to open outward, unless it's a closet. Most houses are designed with a straight, narrow, central hallway. Any door opening out presents a risk to anyone walking down the hallway, so closets are the exception. Bathrooms usually open out if they are too small to open inward.

However, never have I seen one designed like this. Doors usually are in a spot where nothing can obstruct them, and they are off to the side or end of a room where drawers and people using the room are unlikely to be near, so the likelyhood of a person blocking the door is low, much less a drawer built into the cabinet. This looks like one of those designs where an original two storey house was cut into two units by a do-it-yourselfer that didn't care about the result because they wouldn't be the one living in their disaster.

This seems like a fatal bathroom design flaw. Imagine having a shower, opening that drawer and then having a medical emergency such as a heart attack...

Sadly we can't be that disengaged from the US because when your economy goes under from all of this, so will most of the worlds.

If the situation is anything like Canada in many nations, most media outlets are owned by US corps. Over half of our outlets are being controlled the same as US media.

Man big kitty looks like my cat, Cobalt. I miss him. What a floof.

True, but the title says Fighting Back. Which is what they are doing by blocking the ICE officers. In English "Fighting Back" is an idiom for "taking a stand" - it does not necessarily mean actually fighting.

In this case the closest thing to a fight that happened was 'Federal Officers' (which is a fucking stretch when referring to ICE) throwing a hissy fit at the end and tear gassing civilians and Police.

Much better, aside from some residual health issues from the visit.

Was in the hospital for two months with mono. In ICU on a respirator for 4 weeks of that.

Was fired from my job, evicted from my apartment, and my girlfriend at the time decided to cheat on me while I was in there.

Good times.

Preventing their shitty brute force protection from allowing someone to get a users MS account password because they are FORCING users to use a non-local account?

The computer would have to store a hash locally to authenticate that account offline, so this is very likely why this is here. Because they've enabled a path to brute forcing their cloud accounts without their servers knowing.

The windows shithole is just layers of bad design all the way down.

When I first started learning PCs and Linux, I just went to the local thrift stores and Value Village. Even today people turn in all kinds of perfectly working compute hardware, mostly just old. Consumer stuff doesn't retain much resale value and many cannot be bothered with trying to sell it, so it ends up in the dump, at the recyclers, in thrift stores, or on classified ads like Craig's list, kijiji and the like.

EBay usually only sees the stuff that can fetch a worthwhile dollar.

Yeah this was way more traumatizing than anything Signs had.

 

So much food.

 

Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

 

As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

This is the most unfiltered article I've read from The Atlantic... by the time I finished the second paragraph I had to re-read the title to understand how I got here.

Edit: To be clear, this has been revealed as satire, its just so close to reality one could be forgiven for confusing the two.
