I go back and forth. Sometimes, it's the best song I've ever heard. Sometimes, it's overplayed.
Symphony in C doesn't get enough love.
not American country
You mean like Narnia, Wakanda, or Wales?
I full agree with the Justice Department on this. He shouldn't serve any time in prison.
Send him directly to Ol' Sparky.

There is at least one device that uses the heat that is pumped out of your house as an energy source. A "heat pump water heater" extracts heat energy from your home and put it into your water.
A heat pump is most efficient when the temperature of the exhausted heat is only slightly above ambient. The higher the exhaust temperature, the more energy you needlessly added to the refrigerant.
For the heat pump water heater, "ambient" is the desired temperature of the hot water, not the outside air. It would be more efficient for the water heater to draw air from the hot outdoors, but by operating indoors, it also reduces the load on the air conditioning.
Cone on, you can do better than that. I believe in you.
Make it the median life expectancy, rather than a fixed, 70 years.
For the court, leave it at a life term, but remove the size constraint. At the end of the first and third year of every presidential term, add one new justice. This moves the appointment process to a fixed time, so there are no surprises.
When a justice dies or retires, their seat is removed, not filled. This ensures that an untimely death swings only one seat, not two.
Since there is no longer an incentive for strategic retirement, the size of the court will increase, probably to around 13 justices. Presidents will want the absolute youngest justices they can get through the Senate.
The larger size means that whatever swing the court does have from deaths or retirements will be smaller and less impactful than it is now.
Finally, any circuit court justice has already faced senate confirmation hearings for their current appointment. Any circuit court judge should be eligible to be elevated to the supreme court without an additional senate confirmation. If the Senate wants to play games and reject all of the president's candidates, the president has a small pool of candidates that can bypass the additional confirmation process
F-Droid is a decent replacement for the play store. Lots of FOSS and less-enshittified apps available.
