This reminds me of a much more reasonable bad teacher from my childhood, which I still remember as unfair

We had been learning the vowels, which in one thing were listed as a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y, among others with the just the five most common ones

So days later when we had a quiz my answer to which letters are vowels was a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y. I got a red x, with "and sometimes y" crossed out. I don't think we were given points but it felt like zero points.

I wonder if this is an actual child being taught not to trust questions or someone implementing the idea of get internet points by typing a question, writing a childlike a correct answer, then writing in pen a bad teacher response

I don't mind reading a blog post from the past like that. Maybe it'll prompt some modern comments about real mode

spoilerWhich company uses a rooster?

I picked that first as fictional entities and guessed the last one correctly. I was thinking of the wrong count, the wrong elves

What are the arguments

"Protect delicate children's eyes from seeing nudity"

I think that's about it

That's why they failed to save practically any money after cutting those services

They cut some incredibly cheap incredibly effective programs

The big money goes to big companies and petrochemical companies

It even gets worse - I keep screen sessions open with one screen running root

Security and convenience balance, and if something has compromised my sudoer account they have root anyway

They got down voted there too

-i asks for an interactive session

I use sudo su because running su with no options also gets you an interactive session without having to type anything but letters and a space

Both of these are for when you want a session as root which is nearly never necessary, but sometimes it's more convenient that a set of commands preceded by sudo

I use sudo su 'cause I can type it quicker than sudo -i
