Just curious, does anyone know why the Return key is on the right-hand side of the keyboard when the mechanical carriage return lever is on the left? No objection, just wondering about the original reason.

I don't know myself, but I wonder if the answer lies somewhere in the Shift Happens book.

I see what you did there.

Oops, my bad. TIL Shift Happens is a comprehensive, multi-volume book by Marcin Wichary.

If it wasn't clear who are the bad guys at this point

UN declaration vote, that Slavery is Wrong. The abstainers and the vote against, telling no?

(Attachment Link)

This wasn't a vote as to if "slavery was wrong."

It was, among other things, a vote to categorize the historic african slave trade as the "gravest crime against humanity" and to prepare pathways to various forms of reparations. Such reparations seem like another classic opportunity for UN affiliate NGOs and the like to defraud taxpayers, profiting off our empathetic societies without ever making any substantial contribution to the welfare of these African nations, which is probably why so many nations abstained or voted against it.

I'd also like to point out that actual slavery is still taking place in countries like Eritrea and Mauritania- member nations who nevertheless voted in favour of this agenda item..
