    • Do not kill, or through intentional action cause physical harm to another human being, except in defence.

    • Every human has the right to their own body, thoughts and words, upon which nothing except the above law shall infringe.

    • Where it does not conflict with previous laws, respect physical property of the public and other individuals - it is not to be destroyed, taken or abused without permission of its holder(s).



  • In addition to what @LwL said - It has to do with how testing is done, and that some diseases can’t really be tested for. It is quite expensive, and is generally done on small samples from lots of people mixed together. If it is positive they split the batch and test again (look up binary search).

    The lower the incidence rate of diseases, the larger batches can be done. Ditching certain denographics with significantly higher risks for certain diseases can make testing orders of magnitudes cheaper and faster. (Other groups, at least where I live, include people who recently changed partner, recently went abroad, have ever gotten a blood transfusion, have gone through a recent surgery, have recently been sick, etc. etc.)






  • There are archaeological finds of buildings from more than 9000 years ago (oldest in the region).

    There’s a church that was finished sometime during the 1200s and is preserved in its original form in the municipality, but technically it’s not within town limits.

    The main church was also initially built around that time but was rebuilt in the late 1700s - nothing of the original remains.

    The cellar of a royal farm still remains, which was built in 1552, though it’s more a ruin than a building.

    A castle/royal manor was built in 1652, and although it has been renovated and expanded in the early 1700s, parts of the structure are still from the original.

    So, I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for.

    Oh undoubtedly!

    Hopefully my partitioning was decent though, so distro-hopping shouldn’t be too hard if I feel like switching (or even running different distros side-by-side?)

    I was personally drawn to it because: it’s not Ubuntu; ButterFS seems like a nice safety net; KDE Plasma is sexy AF; noone seems to have anything particularly horrible to say about it.

    Why is your chosen distro (obviously) the superior choice?
