Neither do I, but the rest of what I wrote does.
The argument is that writing the parts in a consistently increasing or decreasing precision order makes more sense.

So these are good.

- year / month / day

- day / month / year

And this is bad.

- month / day / year

With the caveat that I'm not an expert, that's the pommel (hilt is the entire handle) and it is at the bottom to prevent the sword from slipping out of your hand.

In my experience, the twitter police scanner communities are dominated by racism and general hatred towards cities and city government (excluding police and other rescue).

Is Citizen the same?

Yes.
Japan's population is something like 98% Japanese ethnicity.

How is this any different than any other technological innovation which has made a job obsolete or otherwise allowed fewer people to do more work?

"Cash is not fungible."

What do you mean?

Maybe this a dumb question, but is the AirTag configured to Notify When Left Behind except when left at your home? I've never heard an AirTag beep before.

I don't think you need to search for a psychological explanation.

I think it is probable that many people think the benefits of Lego far outweigh the benefits of cryptocurrency mining.

Our family has also found this to be true for Catan Junior. It's a great game on its own with quite a lot of replay value, so we end up sometimes playing Catan Junior even though everyone has the ability to play Settlers of Catan.
If anything, my comment was a false analogy, not a straw man.

Your comment was arguably a straw man, however, as it attacked a point which the article did not make (i.e., Hong Kong should not be responsible for itself) instead of any of the actual arguments (which focused on the benefits to the United States: strategic, economic, and political).

At what point are the people having heart attacks responsible for stopping them? The people having heart attacks need to treat them themselves, not run away to a hospital.
Re:Majority of Americans favor wealth tax on very rich: poll on Friday January 10, 2020 @01:32PM (#22013598)
Rich, powerful people are not oppressed. Taxes are not oppression.
Re:Majority of Americans favor wealth tax on very rich: poll on Friday January 10, 2020 @01:21PM (#22013397)
Your argument implies that a wealth tax has always been favored by a majority of Americans (since by definition a majority of Americans have always been not rich), which I think is not true.

I think the truth is likely that personal wealth is but one of many factors in support for a wealth tax.

If you're talking about the one at the North Park Village Nature Center, it looks like they were already shut down. :( https://blockclubchicago.org/2019/06/20/preschool-program-ki...
Is this meant to be parody (car => phone) or real? I honestly don't know, but if it's not parody, then I'm super curious about "no money in making cars" part.

No, but it could be preventing the equivalent of "here is a random phone number I picked, please 1000 of you dial it".

Are you aware of any robocallers that have answered your "simple arithmetic question" correctly?
I wonder if some of the "scala" hits are actually from the word "scalable"...
