In theory, the rich can just continue paying off each other spending money on rich people stuff. 80% of the economy consisting of activities like robot-staffed billionaire-owned construction companies making and selling super-yachts to oil billionaires, who made their fortune selling fuel to space tourism companies ferrying billionaire designer bag heiresses to the Moon. The rest of us can starve to death and the economy won't even blink.

The retirement age gets raised every time she gets a birthday, just for her.

10TB written on a 1TB looks fine. They are designed for something like 300x write cycles.

Can also try badblocks (or btrfs-scrub) to check for bad blocks specifically.

tldw: scientists try to match absorption spectra of 20 molecules to exoplanet transit curve; one of them (DMS) matches to 2σ; scientists publish paper "hint of DMS found!"; university published press release "biosignature found!"; news media report "extraterrestrial life found!"

So basically the xkcd jellybeans situation: https://xkcd.com/882/

(2σ = 95% confidence interval = 1-in-20 false positive)

I'd be afraid for your SSD crapping out. I had CRC errors (not in Factorio) and I ignored them (after fixing the files). When I got a new SSD and copied my filesystem over, I had a bunch more hidden errors in long term files all over the place.

Consider how old your SSD is, how heavy a load it's been under, check the SMART report and self-test.

Using dd to move-resize a partition by writing down the cylinder numbers and moving it piece by piece like some Tower of Hanoi. Wanted to add more space to my root after deleting the Windows partition, which happened to be first. There is apparently no built-in command to do that.

Booted up fingers crossed and everything worked.

one of those will be interpreted as aggressive and the other submissive

No choice then. Odd letters of the alphabet gets capitalized, even letters get downcased. That way you need to learn only one glyph for each still, but nobody will interpret you as BDSM.

Paste this into your browser console to add an authentic moving hologram to your lemmy page!

document.body.style = 'background: url("https://mander.xyz/pictrs/image/2facd4d2-172e-4bbe-b761-8dc46151e1eb.png") center fixed;'
document.body.onmousemove = function(e){document.body.style.backgroundPosition = e.clientX/4+"px "+e.clientY/4+"px";}

Capital letters give shape to lines of text on a page that make it easier for the eye to skim. Sure, they don't add any additional information that the period does not already have (and proper names are mostly vanity), but try reading page after page of all lower-case. It will take longer and comprehension will be lower. This is the same reason why some letters extend above and below the line - makes decoding words easier by giving them shape.

You can try it out yourself by saving this bookmarklet and using it to downcase a page! (Create new browser bookmark and paste "javascript:..." as the URL)

javascript:for (e of document.querySelectorAll('*')){for (c of e.childNodes){if (c.nodeType === Node.TEXT_NODE) c.textContent = c.textContent.toLowerCase()}}; void(0)

Come to think of it, the ease-of-read effect does look more pronounced on a full page of text rather than someplace where every post is a single sentence.
