If you can throw it out for one case you can throw it out for every case.

Unlike the US, most countries in the EU - including France - have a justice system that is not attempting to maximize recidivism, which is why maximum sentences exist for every crime except murder.

Furthermore, at least in Germany the constitutional court ruled that life sentences without the eligibility of parole violate human dignity as such sentences would take away all hope from prisoners which significantly harms them. I wouldn't be surprised if France had similar rulings.

Fucking Mussolini was said to have made the trains run on time again.

Even if that were true, that doesn't make him half decent.

It's a little on the rambling side. While it does show the steps it takes, I'm sure it gets annoying when it considers more and more edge cases.

Q: What is the longest word in this sentence?

Let's see. The sentence is: "What is the longest word in this sentence?" I need to find out which word is the longest in this sentence.

First, I should probably list out all the words in the sentence. Let's break it down:

  1. What

  2. is

  3. the

  4. longest

  5. word

  6. in

  7. this

  8. sentence

Now, I need to count the number of letters in each word.

  • What: 4 letters

  • is: 2 letters

  • the: 3 letters

  • longest: 7 letters

  • word: 4 letters

  • in: 2 letters

  • this: 4 letters

  • sentence: 8 letters

Okay, so "sentence" has 8 letters, and "longest" has 7 letters. So "sentence" is longer.

Wait, but is "sentence" the longest? Let me check again.

What: 4

is: 2

the: 3

longest: 7

word: 4

in: 2

this: 4

sentence: 8

Yes, "sentence" has the most letters with 8 letters.

But wait, is there any word with more than 8 letters? Let's make sure.

Looking back at the list:

  • What: 4

  • is: 2

  • the: 3

  • longest: 7

  • word: 4

  • in: 2

  • this: 4

  • sentence: 8

No, "sentence" is the longest word in this sentence.

But now I'm thinking, maybe there's a word that's longer that I'm missing. Maybe there's a word within "sentence" that's longer, like if "sentence" contained another word within it.

Wait, no. Each word is separate. I think I listed all the words correctly.

Alternatively, maybe there are multiple words with the same length, but in this case, "sentence" is the longest.

Wait, perhaps I should consider punctuation. Is there any punctuation that might be considered part of a word?

The sentence ends with a question mark, so "sentence?" would be 9 letters if the question mark is included. But typically, punctuation is not considered part of the word. So, "sentence" is still 8 letters.

Alright, so "sentence" is the longest word with 8 letters.

But just to be thorough, maybe there's a word that I missed or miscounted.

Let me count again:

  • What: W-H-A-T, 4 letters

  • is: I-S, 2 letters

  • the: T-H-E, 3 letters

  • longest: L-O-N-G-E-S-T, 7 letters

  • word: W-O-R-D, 4 letters

  • in: I-N, 2 letters

  • this: T-H-I-S, 4 letters

  • sentence: S-E-N-T-E-N-C-E, 8 letters

Yes, definitely 8 letters.

So, the longest word is "sentence."

But now I'm thinking, maybe there's a word with a hyphen or something that I need to consider. Like "well-known" would be two words, well and known, but without a hyphen, it's one word.

But in this sentence, there are no hyphenated words.

Alternatively, maybe there are contractions, but there are no contractions in this sentence.

So, "sentence" is clearly the longest word.

But to make sure, perhaps I can measure the length programmatically.

If I were to write a simple program to find the longest word in a sentence, I would split the sentence into words and then find the word with the maximum length.

In Python, for example, I could do something like:

sentence = "What is the longest word in this sentence?"

words = sentence.split()

max_word = max(words, key=len)

print(max_word)

That would output "sentence?" but since punctuation is not part of the word, I should remove punctuation.

So, perhaps:

import string

sentence = "What is the longest word in this sentence?"

words = sentence.translate(str.maketrans('', '', string.punctuation)).split()

max_word = max(words, key=len)

print(max_word)

This would output "sentence" without the question mark.

So, yes, "sentence" is the longest word with 8 letters.

But now, out of curiosity, I wonder if there are any words with more than 8 letters in this sentence. Clearly not, but maybe in a different sentence.

Alternatively, perhaps there's a way to make "sentence" longer by considering it with punctuation, but as established, punctuation is not part of the word.

Wait, maybe there are words with apostrophes, like "it's," but in this sentence, there are no such words.

So, in conclusion, "sentence" is the longest word in the sentence "What is the longest word in this sentence?" with 8 letters.

That... doesn't seem overwhelming?

In the city council election I voted in (Germany) you had ~40 votes (don't remember the exact number) to distribute among candidates. Each party put up to ~40 candidates on the ballot and you had to distribute your vote among the candidates. You received like 10 ballots, with each party being on a separate one and had to cast your vote in an envelope with the relevant ballots.

Additionally, you can give up to 3 of your votes to any one candidate by putting a digit next to their name or just cast one party's ballot without entering anything to give one vote to each candidate on that ballot.

Sure, it sounds complicated but you received the ballots with some information two weeks before the election and were encouraged to bring them filled out to the polling station (to reduce waiting time) or register for mail-in voting. Most people probably just casted their entire vote for one party anyways.

You literally just need normal rail infrastructure.

Fuck all talks about high speed rail in the US, you don't even have normal rail. How do you expect people to stop using their cars if all you will have is rail that ONLY connects metropolises?

Seriously, high speed rail is a prestige project for the most part. It's nearly useless without a solid local rail infrastructure foundation. If you have to travel 60 miles to the nearest train station via car you might as well drive to your destination fully.

But here they are, making a direct immoral action to force their chosen diet on another being who in all likelihood would NOT choose themselves.

This is the single worst argument you could make.

Every single pet owner does that. Would any animal - including farm animals - choose to eat what humans provide them? Surely [cheapest store brand] wouldn't be popular if they had a choice.

I changed some of my router's VPN settings from abroad once because it wasn't performing as expected.

To apply the setting (through the GUI), I remembered you had to press the stop button and then the start button (there was no restart button in that menu). Guess what happened.

Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature.
