The bash man page is full of useful bits like this, but is is densely packed. It's definitely worth reading though.

You can use the <( ) replacement for this as it runs a command in a subshell and replaces it with the filename of a temporary fifo. So something like:

join <( echo "${var1}" ) <( echo "${var2}" )

Money wont solve everything, but it does put you in a good position to deal with the problems that are left. After that it's up to you.

Buy bitcoin as soon as you hear about it. Hold it until it's six figures. Yes, I know it sounds insane. Do it, or I'll come back and haunt you some more.

Teen me would have to remember that for a fair while, but current me could do a lot with that sort of windfall.

On the Visitor Center section they still refer to LGBTQ+. They can't even be evil competently.

Will they cover damage to other vehicles, structures, people and animals? Covering your vehicle is a good first step towards accountability, but, unless they cover the damage the vehicle does to others, it's not enough.

But all I remember is that it was a possibly interesting page about the problem I'm dealing with. I have 42 tabs open on the same site, and none of them have useful names. If I google it I'll end up with about 52 uselessly names tabs.

It is cathartic closing an entire window fullof tabs when the problem is dealt with though. You can almost hear the machine sigh as it releases a big chunk of memory.

You're probably not far off in how the presciption pad evolved, but pharmasists, at least here, have extensive training, and some can actually write prescriptions for certain medications. The system has evolved over a very long time, and security is definitely one of those things that's had to evolve with those changes.

It used to be fairly normal, the pharmasists knew the various doctors in the area, and they also know what is a reasonable prescription. If there was any doubt, they'd contact the doctor before dispensing the drugs. I had the 'interesting' experience of having to go to multiple pharmacies, filling part of the total prescription at each, when I tried to fill a largeish morphine prescription for a family member. There'd been some sort of issue at the main supplier, and none of the induvidual pharmacies had much stock left. It was resolved a few dats later fortunately.

Things are a lot more digital now-a-days, which hopefully makes fraud less of an issue, and definitely makes getting medicines easier.

I assume it's been vibe coded, sauce for the goose being good with the gander and all that.

ETA: /s just to be clear.

Fair, that maybe came across harsher than I meant. Refusing to provide packages because you don't use the system is fine, but please provide a tarball that I can unpack, rather than some dodgy script that has to try to work with the differences in those ststems anyway.
