There are several features of Git I refuse to use. Cherry picking is one of them.
Branching / merging is another.

The only thing I use it for it cleaning up local wrong branch commits; and that's mostly a failing of the GUI clients I've used. None of them have ever made their rebasing clear enough that I don't always find myself confused about where to start and end up getting it backwards at least occasionally. (It's a situation that cries out for drag/drop in the commit tree, but I've never actually seen it done that way.)

Git back to SVN then. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

The Center for a New American Security (CNAS), one of America’s top defense and foreign policy think tanks, announced the creation of a Task Force on Artificial Intelligence and National Security, as part of the organization’s Artificial Intelligence and Global Security Initiative. I'd make a "Washington and Intelligence" joke here, but it just feels way too easy

This means that Xamarin.Forms apps can run completely in the browser - without a smart server - giving .NET developers even more reach and options for distributing their apps. "Can I buy a vowel?"
Dang, no XP support?

My daughter, aged 12, took a class on sign language, was enthralled, and is now watching YouTube videos to teach herself.
Sounds good right? Well, she thinks everyone knows sign language and so signs to them and waits for a response. She even signs when she is singing, practicing the words she knows.
Can you imagine what Klingon sign language would be like?

I hear Snoop Dog tours with a sign-language interpreter, maybe your daughter has a future combining singing and signing. 
I think Klingon sign language might involve bloody knuckles.
Which makes me think how few aliens in SF are "differently abled".
