How much of that goes on rent? And is that rent paid directly back to the city?

Doesn't Nigeria still have lots of slavery?

Yes they used to do forestry like that in Northern Europe. They realised the methods described by the OP are more sustainable and more reliable (e.g. diseases will wipe out monocultures).

All of these are just skins over Google's code.

Does even Microsoft make any meaningful contribution to Chromium?

What is the replacement word for master/slave?

I genuinely don't know because this aspect of English newspeak hasn't made it to my country yet.

First let's not get into formula vs breast. That's not relavant right now since formula is designed to imitate breast.

I am aware that cows milk is not sufficient for babies. The approx age is one. The (main) reason is iron. By one most (western) children eat a sufficient diet that cows milk is a sufficient milk source.

My concern is that some parents may see the anti cows milk propaganda and not provide any milk after weaning (almond, oat etc drinks are not milk).

Up to the age of around 3 we give cows milk to children because we are replacing the human milk that children up to that age would naturally be drinking...

The problem with this is that one can't simply submit work documents and these formatting issues are usually edge cases produced by people that are doing things they really shouldn't with Office.

I think reddit have forgotten about old.reddit.com. Maybe we shouldn't talk about it in case they notice and shut it down...

Sadly they've added a billing system for 'health tourism'. Before that they didn't ask too many questions just treated people. I guess the billing system pays for itself? Not sure.

Nationalised health systems work very hard on cost control. There is a lot of FUD spread about e.g. the UK's NHS but the actual numbers show that it provides an excellent healthcare service to everyone for the same amount as Medicare+Medicade+health insurance for federal and state employees (in total via these channels half the people in the US have their healthcare paid for by the US taxpayer). I.e. the NHS is nearly twice as efficient as the US system.

I guess just copy their methods?

This is all true. But also the numerous copyright holders of the Linux kernel could also choose to sue.

I also have no relationship to RH other than as a user of their free stuff.

Yes when it became apparent that BTRFS was not ready RH did that. It was a slight surprise when it happened if I remember correctly.

I said RHEL v9 OR 10. I guess 9 is unlikely but 10 is a number of years off. If BTFS is a sucess on Fedora and stable then they will surely consider it. That is the point of Fedora...
