Sure, but that is a non-sequitur.

When did he pardon a top level drug dealer? Source?

1/5 stars. Quick and discreet delivery. Minus 4 stars because it killed me.

Smart people realize that it is not so black and white.

Law is based on a common consensus of morality (at least in theory) so they are, in fact deeply intertwined.
Thank you :)
What is "capabilities" supposed to mean?

I actually have the opposite opinion. I think the Apple version looks 10 years old (which is about the age it actually is. IOS 7 came out around 2013 iirc.) The rounded rectangles looks 20 years old. But is more usable so is superior in my opinion. I agree that the font the author chose is less aesthetic but it is much easier for someone with dyslexia or adhd to read, making it more functional as well.

Fair enough :)

The spelling mistake in the first sentence really throws me off. I'm not trying to be overly picky or pedantic but after reading only 7 words into a multiple-thousand word long post and seeing an error, I begin to think that this may be a tough read. I also subconsciously begin to assume that the browser this person wrote must be riddled with bugs. Whether that's fair or not.

It doesn't unless it is outpaced by the increase in demand for housing. This person makes it sound like they have a ton of brand new houses in Austin with nobody living in them because they're too expensive. I can tell you as a former Austinite, that couldn't be further from the truth.
Increasing housing supply more slowly than the corresponding housing demand increases costs, yes.
I skimmed the article and I'm definitely not well-versed in archaeological techniques, so I may just be uneducated here, but I'm wondering: how do they know that is a painting? And not just pareidolia?

Maybe the pictures in the article are just poor quality, but I can't really see what they are claiming to see. Even with the outline you gave. It just looks like a few lines that could kind of possibly sort of look like a deer head.

Absolutely savage way to make a very good point. (with a colloquial implied "It" of course)
