Obviously more testing is required! I used to walk to school up hill both ways and got the switch if I complained! Kids just don't want to learn anymore! /s

Also I remember how much it sucked in a building w/out AC, so with these new spring/fall heat waves I'd be dead. Lucky in the US we have a party undoing education for the mid-class/poor so that only the rich that do fuck all will get an education. Part of their "keep the work force dumb and working" agenda.

Trump just wants his "Trump Gaza Riviera" resort, and he's not going to get it if Israel actually stops killing/displacing the people that live there.

Canada should call his bluff, and let him lose our top trade partner. If everyone had just come to a mutual agreement to call him on his shit either 1) he would have reversed and dropped this whole tarrif/trade nonsense by now OR 2) he would have absolutely cratered our economy and maybe even his base would see the light.

That title is very "right friendly", with a not so subtle blame shift to the doctors.

If you actually want to fuss with it you could always try some of the stuff from the Holy Wiki and see if it makes a difference. Sometimes it's just "gremlins" though.

I ironically had a similar issue with moving to Wayland from X. I did everything I saw documented to make it work and it just either flat out didn't, or performance was ass. Then I think when I had read about Gnome's future plans to drop X I figured I needed to give it another go. In the end I'm not sure what made the difference (update/config/etc.), but I'm using Wayland now and performance seems the same/better and all is good. My install is also probably close to a decade old (or more - I have moved it between at least 3 disks) at this point so I also have cruft out the ass lol.

Edit - Got curious and decided to look and this install is dated 2013-02-24, so longer than I thought.

Yeah, nothing screams shady or coverup looking like sending your previous personal attorney to "interrogate" the one person that could implicate or exonerate you. And then feed her 100 names (of likely political rivals) and continue to publicly float the idea that you have the power to pardon them, "just because".

Edit - IANAL but I feel like the tactic is to make it impossible to use any further "testimony" from her after knowingly sending Trump's personal lawyer to feed her names. He's made it so now, no matter what she says, neither side will believe she is saying it of her own free will. The only way to believe anything she says would be to find it in her or Epstein's previous testimony.

I boot to login in probably under 5 seconds, so 30+ seconds seems like something is not configured correctly. And every Windows machine I've ever interacted with boots slow and updates even slower.

I feel like this is just like systemd, those that want to stick to the old ways are very vocal but are a very small minority.

Edit - Sometimes I want to erase spell checks 1's and 0's.

It makes it harder when you have people like Trump encouraging cops to be more violent.

"When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’" he said.

"When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head]," Trump continued, mimicking the motion. "Like, 'Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.' I said, 'You can take the hand away, OK?'

"I have to tell you, you know, the laws are so horrendously stacked against us, because for years and years, they've been made to protect the criminal. Totally made to protect the criminal. Not the officers. You do something wrong, you're in more jeopardy than they are," he added.

The bold section is just a super ironic "us" from the felon that calls everyone trying to hold him accountable, a "witch hunt".

Just finished BG3, now I'm debating retrying the last battle to see if I can get a diff ending, or starting a whole new run through. I'm also torn to maybe play one of the gazillion games in my backlog...maybe.

With all these domains they are continuing to seize and then need to continue to renew, at what point does a bean counter tell them it's unsustainable? I also wonder how many sites just don't get renewed because they slipped through the cracks like certs sometimes do. I guess if you're a domain register this seems like a crazy inflated sales bubble that at some point is going to pop, and hopefully they have saved some of that revenue to ride out that lull.

Edit - a word

I think the hardest part is the sheer volume of content to sift through and index on today's Internet. It is a completely different, and MUCH larger, beast than when Google was made in a garage in 1998 and quickly took the world by storm.

I have confidence that an open source/crowd sourced effort could beat Googles results, but the computational power and backend are I think the biggest gating factor. It would also need to be completely distributed with a lot of duplicate data for fault tolerance, but also a way to have a "source of truth" so that malicious users couldn't rewrite/poison data.

Cool cool, good thing they haven't had forever to not even eliminate, but just dial down, a neurotoxin.
