It may also be my region. Its always been this way for me for at least the last 15 years or so.

I dont think there is. There are, however, actual instant hot-water dispensers you can install as an extra sink faucet and they are amazing.

There's actually a loose set of rules to it. Im not sure where the specific numbers came from, but 22% of the bill as a tip is considered "excellent service", 18% or so is considered "mid" or "acceptable" service, and anything below that is a sliding scale of how bad you think they did. 0% is either you being rude and/or saying "i dont believe in tips", but giving a $0.01 tip is basically saying "fuck you, you piece of shit," (because fishing out a penny or writing it in takes more effort than opting out).

Mozilla bought K9 mail. If you're using K9, you've been "beta testing" Thunderbird for quite somd time now.

Thats kind of like saying Valve and Steam are not the same thing. Like, yea, Valve owns and develops Steam, but most people will understand someone who calls the company "Steam" (even if they sound a bit daft in doing so).

There is fairly substantial rumor that there may be a smear campaign against firefox lately because they are still supporting manifest v2, which our owning class does not care for.
Mozilla has made their fair share of stupid decisions lately, but they are still leagues ahead of Google, Amazon, and the other FAANG-type companies in ethics and trustworthiness. Definitely something to keep a pulse on, but nothing to throw the baby out with the bathwater over. And if it really bothers you, use LibreWolf/Fennec.

We decriminalized drugs in some states here in the U.S.
I even voted for it under the understanding that rehab programs were part of the packaged deal.
They weren't.
My city's streets rapidly became very dangerous from the influx of users, with a sharp spike in violent crimes and theft. Some of the parks in my town also became danger zones and needle-hazards, which my family and I had to start avoiding.
We re-criminalized them, and it has slowly been returning to how it used to be. I don't think it'll ever go back all the way, but there is a noticable difference in quality of life here, and I think I learned my lesson.

Isn't Snikket just a fork of Conversations for Android? It doesn't look like it's any better either.

I am a neural network that can generate highly photorealistic frames of Doom that seem like real life. I have no output port so these images cannot be seen by others.

that seemed like a job that literally only existed to give some people a job
That is exactly what it's for, and it prevents a lot of worse problems just by existing. It significantly reduces crime rates by allowing people who otherwise couldn't earn income, and provides a way for ex-cons to successfully reintegrate into society and not relapse, as well as providing low/no skill labor. It gives some a sense of purpose - retirees who physically can't do any other work for example and need something to do.
It is literally there to give people jobs and its a good thing.

Salem's not at the northern border. You still have the distance of portland to go, or at least driving around it, and even that can take a while.
From border to border, Organic Maps estimates 5 hours and 20 minutes, which does not include traffic.
I did run the calculation from salem to sacramento though, and i was off by about double. Its 16 hours to southern california (ive done the drive), but to sacramento, its only 8. I own that mistake, I don't travel to california much and mistook the trip I took for the distance i was thinking about.
