The worm’s last words, “the moon landing causes autism”

Btrfs will be fine, I use btrfs on a standard arch install, timeshift for managing snapshots, works well.

Fwiw they’re able to do the same thing by the sound of someone typing a password across the room. Not advocating for fingerprints or anything, just these exotic hacks are everywhere

Automated testing is often more cost effective than manual testing. Not to say 100% automated testing is a reasonable goal. But I’ve never worked anywhere without some automated testing (unit, integration or end-to-end).

Cuz interlacing

Yeah, some shows did have their own consistent-ish systems, but I think some shows used a system that seemed to be relative to the center of the solar system, others from the perspective of the ship (which makes more sense to me, like naval bearings) - https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Heading.

It was a quick lookup from a long time ago, I was working on a 3d space game and was curious if ST had a consistent model I could just use.

The headings / bearings they use are all over the place too, remember looking it up and it feels like the writers just picked whatever numbers best fit the flow / cadence of dialog they were looking for

I thought I saw a headline last night that the democrats in the house said they would vote to table any effort to remove Johnson.

I just blue myself

The Trial of Hunter Biden('s Penis) - In this 6 part miniseries we'll be lending our usual journalistic excellence to uncovering the throbbing truth...

Agreed, the meta+arrow shortcuts to move windows around are great. That defaults to half/quarter windows. You can also define a custom layout (meta+t to configure). The meta+arrow shortcuts still work on half/quarters of the screen, but you can shift+drag a window to drop it into one of the custom layout tiles/areas... gives a lot of flexibility.

Just to check, is the suggestion to get rid of TSA and not replace it? i.e. no security screening at the airports?

Is there any country on the planet anymore where that's a thing? Any example of a working version of what you're proposing (if I'm reading it right)?

Also

Disband TSA. It’s never been shown to improve safety

That sounds pretty far from true. The only way this is true is if TSA procedures have never prevented a single gun, bomb, etc... past a security checkpoint.

As reported by the TSA they stopped 6737 firearms, 93% of them loaded from getting into secure areas... in 2023 alone. They also conducted a passenger survey where 93% of passengers said they were satisfied with experience, 94% confident in TSA's ability to keep air travel secure

Conducted a passenger experience survey with a sample size of 13,000 travelers at multiple airports across the nation. Survey results revealed that 93% of travelers were satisfied with the passenger experience and 94% of the respondents were confident in TSA’s ability to keep air travel secure.

I'm not sure what percentage of the 93% would feel the same way, but I will say if the TSA went away tomorrow with no replacement I'd no longer be flying on any airline that was unscreened.

Can I ask what the better working system would look like? I've seen plenty of the stories about TSA lapses, obviously security at the airports isn't fun, but I'm not sure what an alternative system that works would look like.

Almost every time someone tries to lump this many people into one basket, the rest of what they’re saying is going to be dumb as hell.

There are times I think I’m the lefty-ist person I know, then I see something like this.

I do think she’s not quite as lefty as her image from 8-10 years ago but she’s a far cry from Sinema. I like 60ish percent of the things Warren says and does, that’s a decent start.

Dude’s out there “fighting the evils of satan” by throwing around pipe bombs. Smrt.

Went to one of the sanctuaries around Hobart, their odor is pretty rough. I saw it described as smelling like a smelly wet dog, and it's definitely like that, but combined with like a "skunk, but one that evolved on the other side of the planet" smell.

Yeah, meant the website title, but in truth it’s tough to tell what’s astroturfing bots vs people here. And honestly these things with 6 2.5GbE ports is plenty impressive, not sure why the website felt the need to goose it like they did.

2.5 GbE NOT 25. That’s the funkiest clickbait bullshit I’ve seen in a while.

• Step 1: move data from files into a database
• Step 2: delete files
• Step 3: press release that we just deleted the files
• Google, probably
