I’m suuure if there is bias you can show it ?

You’right about suicides, but so what ? Suicides don’t count as deaths ?

I’m game. Start here:

Owning anything that increases the risk of death by 500% is .

Read the article. The stats about how owning guns is dangerous are right in there. Any irrational behaviour is a character issue.

I love the “not anti-gun” moniker. that means pro-gun, if I got my double negatives right. Also, it’s not about “taking your guns”, it’s about being safe.

I has a pet when I was a kid. We drove to our hollidays, so no plane risk, and once there the dog had a ball hiking with us, chasing and picking new stuff in new settings; in the winter all the dogs formed a playful herd to roam freely during the day and went to play with kids / bother whomever had food in whatever…

Why not cold water ? I prefer it ?

How I’d go about it:

I ran into a biggie after Windows’ Fall update: network shares on my Windows PC stopped being accessible from my Android devices. Apparently this is due to 2 things:

If you say hello and apologize for not speaking French / enquire if English is OK, you’ll be fine.

YES. Don’t say Bonjour to everyone you see, but do say it to everyone you talk to. That includes the hotel front desk, the cab driver, the baker, your server...

As a former Parisian:

My take: not this way, unless you want to make it about her being trans and jewish. I’m sure there are other things of note about her. first, how much you like her. Then why.

I’m doing worse: I used to forget stuff all the time. Now my keys are linked to my wallet. Last time I forgot it I spent a half day locked out with no cash, no cards, no ID. That was 12 years ago. Will never happen again.

Lots of things:

Depends on whom I’m writing to. Seniors get letter-like texts with full words and correct grammar (as much as I can manage), an Hello and a Goodbye. The Young get whatever is understandable. Anyone higher than me on life’s ladder (older or a boss or a client) gets a proofread text. The others don’t.

I’m not sure that’s the whole picture. All things equal, those things would make the difference. But all things are not equal. The US kill a staggering amount of people both abroad and within the US; the US incarceration rate is over 5x that of “totalitarian” China, US murder rate is 4x, US literacy rate is probably…

Cheaters are usually the most suspicious guys. So if US Intelligence is telling me that Chinese IT spies on behalf of the Chinese government, I’m taking it as, mostly, meaning US IT spies on behalf of the US government.

But doesn’t that change the sound ?
