So the ISP isn't to blame when the cheap ISP-provided hardware fails, and the solution isn't for the ISP to replace insufficient ISP-owned hardware but for you to buy your own instead?

The "wire everything" approach is a little excessive for most home networks too, outside of exceptional circumstances modern WiFi on modern hardware is more than enough for home users. It's only worth the time and money to wire everything if you've identified specific issues with signal loss or noise, don't just do it by default.

Not really, where I am full-time employees are legally entitled to a minimum 28 paid days off per year (including public holidays at employer's discretion) and that's still low compared to some of the better European countries. My understanding is that the US does not require any paid time off and this petition is to fix that.

3-6 months maternity leave at 66% pay isn't necessarily great either, here we have 52 weeks maternity leave starting at 90% pay for 6 weeks then the lower of 90% pay or a fixed weekly amount for another 33 weeks. Returning to work in the first 6 months entitles you to the same job, in the second 6 months an equivalent job (equal pay, location, etc). There's also 1-2 weeks paternity leave for other involved adults (eg father or partner) and the option to share up to 50 weeks of the maternity leave entitlement with them. And those are just legal minimums, for instance my work offers much better paternity leave than just a couple of weeks.

This means that the decimal representation of pi ends with the digit 9, followed by an infinite sequence of other digits.

I guess? There is a 9 followed by infinitely many other digits. Not sure I'd call that the end of pi, though.

UK is under BST (UTC+1) for half the year but people are usually just taught that the UK is GMT (UTC+0) which is based in the time in Greenwich, withought mentioning DST. I suppose it's also possible everyone is taught BST and just forgets about it because daylight savings sucks, but either way most people seem to think GMT and UK time are the same thing.

This means you'll get people asking for GMT times when they want BST or UK local time.

Utter nonsense. Your argument is that because you can imagine a god and spread the idea they are real. The logical conclusion there is that anything you can imagine is equally real. Bigfoot really is wandering around a forest, spaghetti absolutely does grow in trees, and the moon landing was definitely on a sound stage (but they also really landed on the moon because I can picture that too).

I feel like someone not releasing anything but squatting IP rights for 13 years is a poor argument for longer copyright terms.

But 'cold' and 'heated' are bad. People are weird about temperature.

It's interesting that it's the taste that threw you off, usually texture is the bigger one for me. Chicken flavour primarily comes from the fat rather than the meat so I always assumed that was the easy part to replicate. We've had wildly popular meat-free chicken flavoured products for decades and that was just to make a cheaper product before meat-free was popular, it could just be that I'm too used to artificial chicken flavours. It's relatively easy to find meat-free chicken (or beef) stock these days too.

It's probably more that fake chicken in general has been really good for a while now, you'd be hard pressed to know it's not real chicken if you weren't told beforehand. My local shop puts most meat-free stuff all in one corner together, but meat-free chicken nuggets get to go on display next to the real stuff in the freezer section.

Red meat is the difficult stuff, most fakes aren't great and it's almost always easy to tell it's not real meat. When I feel like sausages I usually go for Richmond meat-free ones, I do like them but it's very obvious it's not pork. They have recently released cocktail sausages I love, though!

It's a little weirder than that.

Your security is only as good as the weakest link, which is usually people. If your password policy encourages users to stick a note to their screen then your weakest link is anyone in the office deciding to take a selfie or joining a call with their camera on. Best practices balance security with what users are actually willing to do.

According to this list it was used figuratively by Jane Austen, who I believe died more than 200 years ago. That page also claims the earliest known use is 1769, so it's probably less than 300 years in writing? It's moot either way, if you're going for an etymological argument you could go further and say literally should mean anything to do with letters or writing, from the original Latin literalis/litteralis "of or belonging to letters or writing".
