I don't know him or this case, but lawyers tend to often feel that way about the cases they are representing. I wouldn't think that means he's not billing.
It's ubiquitous in some regions in the US. I suspect where it's not is both very mild climates where you hardly ever use it, and severe cold where until recently heat pumps were not sufficient. Also probably old buildings.

This is a real problem, but I suspect the reason is more laziness than increasing power. That's no score card on number of classified documents one has access to.
Rather, it is time consuming and risky to determine classification level. No one is going to get in trouble for mistakenly over classifying something, but theoretically risks jail and fines for under classifying a document, not to mention the real harm that could arise from such an error.
It's important to realize the vast majority of people will not get to that certain point. Sure, you may not want to be as large as some of the famous body builders, but don't worry! That takes living your entire life organized around the central goal of getting bigger. If you are going to the gym for an hour 3 days a week you will never get to that point.
Crows tend to also be game animals, so states manage the populations and set bag limits, seasons, etc. In my state it is definitely legal, and one doesn't even need HIP registration.
Airgun would be sufficient for crows and squirrels, is safer to use in densely populated areas, and comes with less regulation everywhere. Still a good idea to check game regulations on your targets though.
Is this policy for a specific kind of Amazon account? I didn't recall seeing anything in the TOS, and they appear to have first class support for people with multiple accounts.
I think it's a reference to "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Knowing Earth was going to be destroyed the dolphins leave, but they leave behind a message which when decoded translates to "so long and thanks for all the fish" (referring to how dolphins had trained humans to give them a fish when they did tricks).
It's fun, it's an outdoors activity, and as far as I know you can't really get the mushrooms you find locally in the grocery store. Using an app to identify mushrooms, however, is a terrifying thought. Maybe it speaks more to people's conceptions of the capabilities of modern technology.
If you want to get into foraging, there are some really easy to identify safe ones without dangerous lookalikes. Get a good identification book on the topic. Don't listen to random strangers on the Internet, and don't trust apps.
He wasn't tried as a criminal. This was a civil case between private individuals, under defamation laws. Withholding evidence and perjury, however, are actual crimes.
I almost choked when I saw the headline with that judgement, and I haven't looked into it, but I suspect part of the reason it went so high is because he and his lawyers got caught withholding evidence in discovery and perjurying themselves.
My optimistic belief is the high judgement was due to those extra factors, but maybe a lawyer can correct me.
I agree, for me for this kind of thing it isn't a deal breaker. But for many people it may be.
However, I will say that combined with the freemium model it does give me pause. The reason is I will likely want to add some features that will conflict with the premium version. That means that my changes have near zero chance of getting incorporated into the community version and I'll have to maintain a public fork.
About GDB:
I really like using KDevelop on linux, and they have a pretty good GDB front-end built in. It's pretty similar to VS debugger, with a panel showing local variables and their values, etc. It's definitely not as full featured as VS, and IIRC there was some instability, but if you're on linux and using C or C++ I highly recommend trying it.
