I didn't mean to imply that they had elderly parents, I just meant that is something to consider if they did.

If you're young and your parents aren't old, it's doable.

It's also doable when you have siblings to take care of older parents. I know you say "Most of our families will be gone in a few years." But what if in less than that time they need care?

Relocating back to where your elderly parents are, especially if you're older can be a hassle. For example, if you are 50 years old and your parents are 75 years old, and they need a caretaker, you would need to relocate, and get a new job later in life (often at a pay decrease).

From what I've read, the multiple AIs generally do have a result, just not a good one.

But perhaps someone has a link to positive outcomes.

“If I had to ignore the truth at that moment for their expediency, I felt like it was the right thing to do,” Robinson said.

Politicians: Lying. It's the right thing to do.

Well, the .deb install is a system install, but an appimage doesn't install to the system, it's in it's own little environment. You likely have a folder like ~/.config/GIMP/3.2/plug-ins/ where GIMP plug-ins live, and if you had a gmic_gimp_qt you could place it there and change the permissions to make it executable, but this is a hunch on my part. Unfortunately, I've never done this, so you might want to ask this in the appropriate Linux forums for Ubuntu, or Debian, or whichever flavor of Linux you're on.

Officially Google says the calendar has to be made public.

Here's steps.

The leak contains extensive personal data on people accused by tipsters: names, email addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, home addresses, license plate numbers, Social Security numbers and criminal histories.

Although P3 says in sales material for clients that “each tipster’s identity will remain anonymous at all times,” personal information from those who shared it is also present throughout the leak.

Both the accused and the accusers. I wonder how much this will impact the Crime Stoppers' information flow. Will the tips dry up, or will the public shrug after yet another data breach?

I'm lazy and chopping it down would take effort. And then what am I going to do with a utility pole? You're asking me to do labor and then think about my actions?

It starts with libations and food offerings.

Sweets were fed to the gods in ancient Mesopotamia and ancient India[7] and other ancient civilizations.[8] Herodotus mentions that Persian meals featured many desserts, and were more varied in their sweet offerings than the main dishes

The Romans continued the practice.

back to the main dessert article:

Europeans began to manufacture sugar in the Middle Ages, and more sweet desserts became available.[14] Even then sugar was so expensive usually only the wealthy could indulge on special occasions. The first apple pie recipe was published in 1381;[15] The earliest documentation of the term cupcake was in "Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats" in 1828 in Eliza Leslie's Receipts cookbook.[16]

And then there's this guy:

Evidence for the domestication of the cacao tree exists as early as 5300 BP in South America, in present-day southeast Ecuador by the Mayo-Chinchipe culture, before it was introduced to Mesoamerica.[8] It is unknown when chocolate was first consumed as opposed to other cacao-based drinks, and there is evidence the Olmecs, the earliest known major Mesoamerican civilization, fermented the sweet pulp surrounding the cacao beans into an alcoholic beverage.[9][10]

Chocolate was extremely important to several Mesoamerican societies,[11] and cacao was considered a gift from the gods by the Mayans and the Aztecs.[12][13]

Now as to "why before bed"? It's become a practice. But here's the thing: nobody is making you eat a sweet nor at a particular time of day.

In the 80s it was rare to see people drinking water, except for "health food nuts". It was far more common to see soft drinks/sodas. Over the years, society has become more accepting of drinking water. You didn't have "hydrohomies" in the 80s. Be the change you want to see in the world.
