    I think CA holds bartenders responsible. I don't do the bar thing, but my understanding is that they intentionally won't serve alcohol to someone who is obviously past a certain point.

    I do not know whether that responsibility extends to the person's choice of transportation after their bar visit. I'm sure one can offer to call a taxi, but one cannot force a patron to use said taxi.

    I typically replace all the "utm_" parameters in a URL with a single "utm_underpants=barney" or "utm_superhero=[some character, such as Laa Laa from the Teletubbies]"

    If they don't, they probably should. But I admit it is sometimes difficult to know whether an unknown site's URL parameters are tracking fields or content selectors.

    I got a phone call from a lawyer's office about the accident in October (14 year old boy on a bicycle collided with an SUV in a parking lot). I have not responded yet.

    Score was 40/50. Once financial and insurance situation improves, I will have to see a psychologist.

    I'm planning to restart my CDs to be purchased list. I had dropped it because I hadn't bought any in so long, but I've recently been listening to a LOT of music on YouTube:

    * The Equals
    * Three Dog Night
    * various random songs mentioned in other videos (see below)

    A lot of this is being sparked by a channel called "Professor of Rock" ... where Adam Reader tells stories about various artists and songs, even sometimes interviewing surviving members. And also by Rick Beato, who describes guitar riffs and other musical qualities while dissecting what makes various songs good.

    > users of nonfree software are victims of oppression

    In view of those users frequently choosing to participate by choosing such software, they aren't "victims" per se. Also, the oppression is _potential_ until the developer implements anti-features which benefit themselves over the software's users.

    I agree that once a developer is in that position, the temptation to implement such anti-features is almost impossible to resist, but it is very important that FOSS advocates do not overstate their case.

    > in order to put an end to the oppression, we don't need wannabe-oppressors to stop trying to make victims, we need users to reject their offers and choose freedom instead, driving the market towards offerings that respect users choices, rather than towards [oppressive implementations]

    If $BIG_SOFTWARE_COMPANY were to stop implementing oppressive anti-features in their software, I would consider that a (small and temporary) win, because it benefits the users of that software. It would still be necessary to seek to change the market (including via legislation and enforcement as well as persuading customers to avoid software with those anti-features) such that the temptation to reimplement those anti-features goes away.

    I remember a family Christmas gathering where the parents ask me and "cousin Steve" [1] to sing "Joy to the World". They of course meant the Christmas carol. We looked at each other and started singing the hit song instead. We later sang the desired song.

    [1] Steve isn't actually related, but our moms were best friends, we were in the same age and grade, and there was enough resemblance that everyone believed we were lying when we denied being related.

    @fu Are the common people any better off economically? Remember, Federal Reserve Chair declared us the enemy and blamed us for inflation. I think the President needs to look to Jerome Powell as the reason for the economic dissatisfaction.

    I decided to add cranberries to last night's batch of bread. I boiled them in sugar water (the way you do if you're making home-made cranberry sauce) and then added berries and the juice during the breadmaker's "add-ons" stage. I think that was too much liquid to add at that stage of completion. The outside is very cranberry-ish and sweet. The core inside is just regular bread.

    I'm going to give this a 3.5/10. It doesn't taste horrible, but the presentation is lacking and the cran-less core goes against the entire purpose of making this particular bread.
