  • Interestingly enough, there doesn’t seem to be correlation between having death penalty in law and lower crime rate. Many countries without death penalty or with death penalty only “on paper” have lower (serious) crime rates than those with death penalty in their jurisdical system. It could also be said that death penalty leads to heavier crimes since once criminal realizes that he crossed that line, it no longer matter how heavier crime gets but hope of getting out over the death bodies becomes the variant too.


  • It doesn’t seem to be the case with distros like Mint. I even know folks who have Mint but they have no clue about tech or computers at all. As users they can hardly tell difference. And It’s actually easier on them because it doesn’t get all messy as Windows does for non tech folks, so there is almost no maintenance needed. I very much recommended it for granparents and such, so you don’t have to go fixing their Windows PC each visit because they downloaded tons of random danger ware by not understanding what they do.



  • It’s just professional respect. Some also call it etiquette.
    There are even courses of proper communication that teach that. It’s those small things that makes your communication better. So it makes sense.

    You could say that not greeting your boss also make no change as it’s not needed for work. But to me it seems common sense to greet people i know when i meet them.






  • Hamas knew that Israel will retaliate, they placed their military activities specifically into civilian places to either prevent their opponent to fight back while they are killing them and if they fight back they have to get through Hamas’ meat shields. Palestinian knows it (you can find interviews before Oct.7th with Palestinian in Gaza agreeing with the idea) you know it, Israel knows.

    Israel also knows that they have limited amount of time to eliminated as much of Hamas as possible before international community turns against them. They play with time and balance on edge.

    It sucks, it’s sad and should have never happened. But it’s in no way black and white situation.
