Instead of dropping a system on her that she can’t/won’t use, try asking her what she wants to do. You can explain why passwords need to be different, but you can simplify it by sharing passwords across sites that don’t matter. So someone gets her BBC password and finds they can also use it on the Daily Fail, whoop-de-doo. Different pw for the bank.

Simplify your own life. You have to do free tech support for your Mum, and to be fair she changed your nappies for years, but everyone else is expected to trade, especially if they expect you to pay for their services when you need them.

Of course tinkering with something makes it your fault any time anything goes wrong, and the lesson we learn from that is …?

Muslims hated us first though and some of them (that currently live here) want to destroy our civilisation in favour of their barbaric medieval religion, and their continuing growth causes me some concern about when there are enough of them around, and someone has started a sharia party, and all the imams go “you must all now vote for sharia” how many of them will follow that decree (and how many non-muslim useful idiots will too).

Not enough concern for me to start hating or discriminating against them on an individual basis, but everyone’s different and some are further down that road than I am.

And yet those weaker countries (a) want to get into the EU and (b) don’t want to leave it. Absolutely nobody is forced to be controlled by France and Germany.

The Euro also brought some positive benefits for its citizens, no longer having to pay bank charges all the time for conversions between francs, lira, marks and so on. Which arguable was the original point, rather than some kind of imperialism.

Well on that basis you lot should change your official language to Chinese, because there are 5x as many of them as you and you buy all your crap from there.

That’s not stuff we’re not ready to hear though; we all know that.

Unfortunately I hit a screen preventing me from seeing the article unless I signed in.

Gun control works.

And OK maybe it doesn’t solve the problem 100%, but it solves it 99%, and that’s a lot of schoolkids that aren’t dead any more. Look at any first world country for working examples; I’m in the UK, and yes we still have some gun violence, but it’s a whole load less than it would have otherwise been.

And it’s incredibly short sighted to reject any solution that doesn’t solve a problem 100%. Partial solutions are good.

What a dumb message. Of course this is not a drill. This is a phone. My drill doesn’t have the means to accept incoming messages.

f’‘(x) is 78x+22 but the question asks what number is f’'(x) + x, hence 79x+22.

Not necessary. After the first round of billionaires has been dispatched, their nepo babies will see the writing on the wall and sign it over quite willingly without any kind of coercion.
