The U.S. permits multiple citizenships with few exceptions, and, in fact, they make it exceptionally difficult and expensive to renounce your citizenship if you decide to do so later on (which people usually do for tax reasons).

I’m not surprised you think this way about art, because this is also the way a lot of business types think about it. And I can usually tell when these business types get their way in an organization, because when they devalue art and design and demand it be created quickly, the end result usually looks amateurish and…

Iceland’s very existence is due to volcanism on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that separates North America from Europe, so I don’t consider it controversial to say that parts of Iceland are on both continents.

Once the JWT runs out of fuel in 20 years or so (which is necessary to keep it in a stable orbit around L2), my guess is that it will spin out into a heliocentric orbit of some kind to rot away for eternity.

Windows 10 was meant to be the “last version” just like OS X was—until macOS 11 (Big Sur) happened and now Apple is ticking up a major version number every year. It’s only comical when you consider they kept up the pretense for a good 20 years, while Microsoft barely managed 5.

If you move to a country that has arranged a tax treaty with the U.S. (and there are many), an income tax regime that is equal to or more than what you’d pay in the U.S., and you have an income that doesn’t exceed a little over US$100K, then you will avoid double taxation. Once you start making “too much money,”…

I’m pretty sure I had a dream involving the “hockey puck” mouse a few days ago despite having not used one for over twenty years! Apple makes great trackpads, yet terrible mice.

Windows Me was so terrible that I switched to Windows 2000, which was my favorite Windows version for years to come.

Although there are things I’ve liked and disliked from RTD, Moffat and Chibnall’s respective eras, I think Doctor Who is currently backed into a corner by changing viewer expectations (thanks to all the big-budget shows on streaming services that have popped up over the past decade) and its demanding fandom. RTD is…

If you think about it, I feel like all four of the original Alien films were wildly different from each other: horror, action, drama (mostly) and lastly European art film (more or less).

For creative professionals, Nvidia cards are virtually guaranteed to be supported for PCs, while AMD cards are a mixed bag, so I would always buy Nvidia for this reason alone.

This question has come up before:

(Please disregard this, as it turned out I answered your question with a different LG model from what you asked.)

The LG UltraFine 4K/5K Thunderbolt displays are still an option, as they were basically the closest thing to an “official” monitor before Apple starting making them again.

I don’t imagine anything will change. The ownership arrangements are different in Canada with HBO owned by Bell and Discovery+ operating in partnership with Corus. As it is, though, the vast majority of HBO Max already airs on Crave, so you’re really not missing out on much content-wise.

I tell you, I was born and raised in Michigan, but I had enough winter living in Canada for several years, where over half the year was miserably cold and dreary, that I would take California weather in a heartbeat. I would be perfectly happy to never experience a single day of winter ever again!

I know that opening up student loans to bankruptcy is seen as an easy fix here by some. A consequence of this, though, I imagine, is that prospective students’ credit will be scrutinized more closely, and I can see that extending to what students will be studying to judge whether their future salaries will be high…

If you don’t pay your student loans, I believe the U.S government will not only seize your tax refunds, but they will also eventually garnish your Social Security payments when you are old. It is in your best interest to try and negotiate a lower payment or formal deferment (if possible) rather than stop paying…

As long as, of course, you didn’t live in the “Rust Belt,” but the attitude then was that those people “deserved it.” It’s amusing, perhaps, to witness the Rust Belt pretty much expand to the entirety of “flyover country” during my lifetime, while politicians still largely don’t give a shit.

The inhumanity is a feature, not a bug. The “quiet part” of state-sponsored capital punishment is that they want the condemned to suffer before dying, which is why they have, thus far, refused to implement a painless method like inert gas asphyxiation.
