Do you have a source that sports are a net financial positive for schools?

Here's an article about students being charged thousands of dollars each per year for sports programs: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/education/hidden-figures-college-students-may-be-paying-thousands-athletic-fees-n1145171

Here's an article showing that only 25/65 Division I schools had a net positive revenue from sports: https://www.bestcolleges.com/news/analysis/2020/11/20/do-college-sports-make-money/, with those losing money losing a lot more than the ones making money.

Just search for "college sports net revenue" and I'd be surprised if you find much, if anything, that agrees with you.

I'm not so sure. The study discusses specifically people who engage in partisan subreddits, which is not the same as being politically engaged. It also uses an AI to grade toxicity, which surely mischaracterizes many interactions.

For example, I have been in communities of a non-political nature, where political discussions occur. These are often about real issues that affect real people in the community, and yet there are people complaining about political content.

To complain about political content is, at best, a very privileged take, demonstrating that you are in a position where politics do not affect you much. At worst, it is actively hostile behavior with the goal of continuing the status quo and shutting down discourse. I would call most of these kinds of comments "toxic", and yet the rhetoric is usually fine, so I doubt an AI would agree.

You'd think that, but they aren't. https://www.wired.com/2015/11/null/

Linux gaming is already here.

There are multiple kinds of heat pump water heaters.

For the one I have, only the tank is inside. The full heat pump is outside, and water is piped between it and the tank.

Looks like xmlrpc. The website for this spec no longer exists, so I definitely see a motivation to stop using it, lol.

I also appreciate that you're supposed to learn Django 19 years before you learn Python.

Dishwashers do a pre-wash to get most of the big stuff off, then a main wash to finish up. If you use the capsule-things, there's only soap for the main wash.

If your dishwasher has two compartments, then put detergent in both as one is for the pre-wash and one for the main wash.

If it doesn't have two compartments, then just put some detergent loose with the dishes for the pre-wash.

I guess I'm neutral evil? I call shenanigans.

Awesome, thanks

Can I make an account for someone without knowing their password?

Last I tried, literally the only way to create a user was to enter a password. Without something like an email or link to create an account remotely, it's a non-starter for me.
