jplaz··on PgAdmin 4 9.13 with AI Assistant Panel
I already use several development tools from JetBrains, so it made sense to streamline everything since I'm familiar with their terminology and UI.

I recommend going with DBeaver if you're only using it for admin tasks and small queries. It's probably your best option for a free, lightweight client. Another strong alternative I keep reading about is TablePlus, but I don't have any personal experience with it.

Switched from DBeaver to DataGrip and I couldn't be happier.
jplaz··on 11.8M EU citizens pay taxes to governments they cannot vote for
I understand how it might have seemed misleading, but what I said was accurate. Puerto Rico does pay taxes to the U.S. government, yet its residents can’t vote in federal elections.

Puerto Ricans do pay certain federal taxes. However, they generally do not pay federal income tax unless they earn income from sources outside of Puerto Rico. I didn’t get this information from Wikipedia-- I already knew this. Also, I never said anything about federal income tax in my original comment. If you believe something I said was incorrect, please point out specifically what was not true.

Let's call it the San Juan Tea Party, lol

Puerto Rico pays taxes to the U.S. government, yet its residents cannot vote in federal elections. Additionally, the Jones Act increases costs even more than on the mainland.
