Not quite, you have to sign something agreeing to kill yourself.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I know the feeling. The Razor view engine has grown on me but the need to write controller actions and views to handle all the separate things that can happen to a 'Model' gets old pretty quick. And don't get me started on the Entity Framework. I started out in the database world before graduating to application programming and the things that the Entity Framework does makes my eyes bleed.

Come on it is on the WWW, it can't be wrong. Similar with Wiki, it does tell us "the only truth"

There was no icon for sarcasm/ironie Now I'm on googling (in wiki??) to find the difference between sarcasm and ironie. Aah, great, "Duden" does also explain it. Let's see who copied whom

Strictly speaking, from a "not getting the joke geeky perspective" - the sun is not on fire but rather is fusing nuclei which is what gives the impression of fire.

No, it isn't. How deep down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

Idiots. No, that is not fire on the sun. It's called "plasma".

Hey Griff, who do you listen to for news? Just curious. All of the outlets filter according to their philosophies.

I just read an article where the state government is considering changes to the minimum age to ride in the front seat of a vehicle and when a child needs to be in a car seat/booster seat.
Currently, the law here is: 7 to ride in the front seat and must be able to sit with knees at the front of a seat to not using a car seat/booster seat.
There are overriding regulations as well: if all back seat seat belts are taken by children 6 and under or there is no back seat, then a child 6 or more can ride in the front seat
So... just curious what other regional regulations are.

My understanding is that in Florida it is mandatory for the child to be left in the back seat and be given access to a chambered handgun

Such kids should be taught to aim for the mother's head. Bullets don't do much damage while travelling through a vacuum.

Under 5 you ride in the cab, over 5 you stand in the transport box[^].

No minimum age, but:
- infants/anyone up to 135 cm must be in a special seat
- is using a reversed seat in the front, the airbag must be turned off
- no seatbelt extenders
- every rule has exceptions, including this one
This leads to situations where old but short people must use seats designed for children. Then again, it was their length that was the problem all along, not the number of days since they were born.
