And now all the UN countries call for a quid pro quo, right? ...

Maybe we shouldn't be letting investment bankers make/influence foreign policy. Their motives are clear and perhaps a bit out of touch.

Nothing like a threat to the capital investments of a few very rich people to get the socialized bailout money flowing.

This has been around for ages (in Internet time). And the connection to Vance is one step.

Trump, again, is just the useful idiot.

Why hasn't the billionaire properly secured himself? We all know the public option is de minimus, so why hasn't he gone deep into the private mercenary world to hire the best?

So what I see there is that badly designed fonts require ligatures to correct interactions.

Like, I get that there are some neat ones, e.g. I have them turned on when writing code for symbols, but they seem wholly unnecessary and distracting in alphabetical characters.

But I'm also the kind of weirdo that thinks the world needs more monospace fonts.

To me, that's even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it's expected short circuit my reading comprehension.

The "fi" combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.

Absolutely.

Sidenote: I keep seeing "xitter" being used, is it safe to assume it's pronounced "shitter"?
