Take a look at "Duer Jeans" and "Prana Zions" they both have a casual jeans type cut, but are made of stetchy fabric (the Prana's a bit more so) and come in a variety of not blue jeans colours.
They are durable enough for light labour, comfortable enough for hiking, and can be dressed up enough for a nice family dinner at the inlaws or school concert.

The argument against very harsh punishments is that they could incentivize rapists to also murder and dispose of their victims.

Yes, I've done it. I made cold brew, and forced corbonated it with co2 in a pressure vessel. I love coffee, especially cold brew, and I love sparkling water. They are essentially the only two liquids I drink.
It was terrible, I was disappointed.
I would be interested in trying it with nitrogen, instead of co2, I think it would be amazing. The starbucks nitro cold brew is after all one of finest beverages ever made.

A 51% attack, needs to be maintained indefinetly to allow for theft of bitcoin.
Your private self hosted node will only follow the chain of valid blocks.
What is more likely, is not a 51% attack, but that that majority of the mining pools agree to censor a certain set of transactions or addresses, making moving 'frozen' funds much more difficult.
There is no rule about what transaction can be excluded or blacklisted from a block, only about which ones are valid.

I also self-host nextcloud with a proper url and use the android client on graphene.
For some reason I never nailed down, the app was particularly picky to my hairpin routing. Ij that I could access it from outside the LAN, but not inside the LAN.
I fiddled with a bunch of stuff on the server, the router and phone ans then it just started working and has for years,
The other issue I had, was the NC app being picky with self signed SSL certs. I have had zero issues with that since I started using Traefik and LetEnceypt.

Yeah, but it uses electrical energy to mechanically turn a compressor. The compression and expansion of the refrigerant is what allows it to transfer heat from inside the house to outside, or by reversing the valve, heat from outside to inside. This is same physics that fridges, freezers and AC's use. A heatpump just allows the direction to reverse based on the needs.
It's a mechanical input that allows this to happen, not a heat input. So the heat from the miners won't drive a compressor. You need to turn that 'waste' heat from the miners into mechanical energy, but I think the stack of systems required to transfer the energy would induce more losses than the return could justify.
I'm just a clever amature, trying to use first principles, maybe a real physicis or engineer could explain it.

Most glarrying issue is the placement of the stock in his shoulder. Which suggests a scope bite is incoming. Also looks like one of the guns on the table is facing backwards, barrel away from the targets. Hard to tell.

Nothing that is nearly as secure:
From their github description:
https://github.com/GrapheneOS/PdfViewer/releases
Simple Android PDF viewer based on pdf.js and content providers. The app doesn't require any permissions. The PDF stream is fed into the sandboxed WebView without giving it access to content or files. Content-Security-Policy is used to enforce that the JavaScript and styling properties within the WebView are entirely static content from the apk assets. It reuses the hardened Chromium rendering stack while only exposing a tiny subset of the attack surface compared to actual web content. The PDF rendering code itself is memory safe with dynamic code evaluation disabled, and even if an attacker did gain code execution by exploiting the underlying web rendering engine, they're within the Chromium renderer sandbox with no access to the network (unlike a browser), files, or other content.

Why are Property Prices High.
A Canadian Perspective.
Things were not always like this... Housing prices used to reflect the "utility value" of the building and property. In that free market system "supply and demand" kept housing mostly in line with the cost of construction and the scarcity of the land.
A few things have all contributed to the issue, ranked in the order I believe they contribute.
1) MONEY PRINTING
Prices go up and down for various reasons, certain sectors of prices going up isn't inflation. (War in Ukraine, scarcity of fuel/wheat, prices go up, not inflation) Inflation is when ALL your prices go up across the board. The ONLY cause of that type of inflation is the central bank creating more money and the government injecting it into the market in their budget items. This tactic, makes all the money in the market less valuable by a small percent. It's a hidden, unaccounted for tax on everyone who holds government "fiat" money. Every government that issues fiat has done this, since the invention of fiat, going back thousands of years. This means, that hard assets (real estate, precious metals, a pile of gravel etc) need cost more and more fiat currency, as the fiat currency is worth less and less every time the central bank prints more it dilutes the value. So if your stock portfolio goes up by 5%, but inflation was 8%, you've actually lost 3% of your purchasing power. However, if you have a rental property, that rental property, will always hold the same "utility value", it can still keep the occupants warm and dry. So it may not track inflation precisely, but over the decades, it protects against the erosion of the dollar. Saving dollars makes you poor, buy hard assets in an inflationary environment. (Consequently this acts as a wealth transfer tax from the poors without assets to the wealthy with assets.)
2) ZONING LAWS
The people in politics, both at federal and provincial levels, but also all the way down to the municipalities, and the (generally older) citizens that are meaningfully active in politics ALL are massively and disproportionately made up of people who own at least one, if not multiple properties. For most of those people, property makes up the majority of their portfolio.
Consequently, they are systemically bent to protecting the value of their properties. You see this in the NIMBY movements, and puplic hearing on zonings and such. The result is that municipalities artificially limit the number and types of buildings that they approve, no one wants a big "affordable housing" complex built in their nice neighborhood. This creates artificial scarcity and keeps prices high, because builders can't make all the cheap housing that the market demands. This will not change, because as by the time someone gets there life in order enough to influence politics, they have their financial affairs in order and benefit from it.
3) BUILDING CODES
Progressives in the past 3-4 decades have been aghast at the conditions some people lived in, packing into a rooming house with shared washrooms for instance. So in cities across north America, they have changed building codes to ensure that new builds have certain minimums, like bedrooms must have a window and a closet, each suite needs to have it's own washroom etc. These restrictions, don't improve peoples living conditions, they remove peoples free choices. Some of the people that would be ok in these conditions needs to rent an apartment and are financially stressed by it, some of them go homeless, despite having modest employment. Removing choices, doesn't magically change the economics of it.
4) CHINESE MONEY
Specific to the Lower Mainland in British Columbia. The Chinese underground banks are taking advantage of Canada's lax financial laws to circumvent the Chinese limits on exporting money outside of China. By getting street cash from the fentanyl crisis addicts, and then washing it through BC casinos, and then using the "winnings" to buy property in Canada. This is all documented in great detail in Sam Coopers book "wilful blindness"
