Iran has been funding war on Isreal for years. Sure isreal started the violence it Iran but Iran isn't innocent here.

It is culture. In most english native ares (this exclues India where english is a common second language) it is unheard of and people would rebel.

'True love' as in the movies only lasts a couple years. It is fun to be in but eventually you realize some truths about the other. From there is it can you live with it or not - which is why divorce is so high from those looking for it. True love as some couples who have been together for decads exists - but it is very different from the movies even if they sometimes seem to have a few features in common.

Arranged marriage and figure it out on your own exists in different parts. both are about equally successful for any long term definition of success. Shy people prefer arranged because they don't have to risk rejection. Others like freedom to decide.

meeting others happens as part of life. The only hard part is you think maybe this can be more and the other not only disagrees but also refuses to be a friend anymore. It can be really hard - but eventually it can happens (and may or may not last)

Or iran doesn't want to risk France entering this fight too. France isn't stupid, and Iran has plenty of smart people able to figure out that they can't afford another power entering in the war.

It is easy to bypass that filtering. Even on locked down devices. Every site that the filter misses spreads like wildfire at school (until the block that one).

I fully agree with the rest. They are using parents' cancerns to force bad ieeas.

That is illegal, and the rail roads have had enough problems that they monitor for it. When they detect you the train will stop with the car you are in at the crossing the sherif is waiting at.

good luck.

Coach is plenty good seats. A sleeper would be nice but that is luxury class, coach seats are fine for sleeping in. That gets the price cheaper than flying in most cases.

Properly distilled wine makes a great fuel for cars. You need a slightly different tuning in the computer (and sometimes bigger injectors), but it works just fine in an engine. If you are willing to forever give up the ability to mix with gas you can save a lot of energy over ethanol fuel by not removing all the water.

Only if every parent is willing to be a "helicopter" parent who won't let their kids out of their sight ever. If you want to give your kids some independence but you don't want them to be able to run completely out of control you society to have guard rails so kids can do things out of your sight without getting into too big of trouble.

The whole point is to 'protect' people for things they shouldn't do but are legal for others. Porn is the common example where many (but not all) object and want to keep thair kids away. which is why an id is needed - otherwise any kid will give a false age.

The kernel doesn't deal with DNS, that is a separate process/library

The only ID verification that works is when a legal entity that has liability for misuse verifies IDs. I want to live in a world where kids install linux on a pi and thus have root to set whatever settings they want. IF you need to verify ID for some reason, then you need to verify with something that the kids don't control - that everyone else can trust (good luck)

 

My wife is complaining that we have music all over the living room all the time. With a couple kids in music lessons, school bands (regular, jazz), orchestra, and such a practice session often needs 6 books and 5 loose pages of music so I can't blame her for being frustrated. There is no easy way to store all that and find what you need for the current daily practice sessions.

Putting a tablet (suggestions? schools gives the kids an iPad, and I'm looking at pinetab2, or boox for me) on a stand seems easy enough, but then what?

Mobile sheets seems to be what others around me use, so probably what I'd end up doing too, though I'm not locked to anything. Any other software that I should be looking at? I do like the idea that we can synchronize page turning.

The hard part is getting all my music onto my NAS. Do I just scan all my books? Buy again as PDF (only rarely an option). Entry the music into some other program? I have some sheet music I want to put into lilypond - is there anything that would sync my tablets to a rendered version of this.

I already have Jellyfin and I see book options (but have not used it yet). Calibri-web also comes up often for books. Both seem book reading focused and music flows / organization is different. Anything else I might want to put on my servers that might be better?

Any other thoughts? What have others done that works?
