That's a false dichotomy.

The principle of double effect allows one to attempt to relieve suffering with treatments having high mortality rates.

Euthanasia is a cost-saving measure to avoid the high costs of palliative care for non-palliative patients, and in the examples cited in the article -- healthcare in general.

Jokes aside, as you work in I.T., you'd know that most people completely ignore labour costs when it comes to these things.

I run my own email server using mailcow-dockerized. Ironically, the problem is not enough volume.

Yours still works? One of the updates made mine stop working. I had to switch back to WiFi.

It's enough to say it's "CLEARLY" not 90⁰.

I can't put my finger on the specific film, but there are those where the happy ending seems especially contrived, and the director's commentary lamented that's because anything less than a happy ending tended to test poorly with viewers. It might have something to do with the fact that they tested them tight after they watch the film rather than letting it sink in for a bit.

Test screenings are the J.D. Power Initial Quality Award of the film industry.

Boy they sure do protect their own, don't they.

I get you, but it doesn't clearly indicate the angle in the middle at the base as much as it suggestively waggles its eyebrows towards 90⁰, it could just as easily be 89.9999999999999⁰, although upon zooming in, you can see the line does shift one pixel over on its way up. You simply can't trust any of the angles as 90⁰ unless it's got the ∟ symbol (that's the official unicode) or you've measured them yourself, and with that one pixel off-set, it's decidedly not 90⁰. That's why you have to do the math.

I feel your pain. It seems these apps have been built by monolinguists, and the language preference/requirement you mentioned are more of an afterthought than, for example, quality/resolution preferences.

For subtitles, at least, a bilingual family needs to have two separate instances of bazaar.

Of course, that's less than ideal when you start talking about two entire video files when all you want is an additional audio stream.

I'll be checking back here hoping you'll find a solution.

Just a reminder here about how strict these leagues' social media policies are. My wife was reduced to tears when called by a furious board member (or some kind of management or head coach) over her tame comments online about being disappointed after a practice. My wife was told that we would be sent to tribunal over the matter.
