More likely tribalism.

Yeah, kind of seems appropriate.

Yeah, I meant “guaranteed”

the US doesn’t give their citizens the same rights as those in other countries receive.

The U.S. doesn’t give their citizens the same rights that the U.S. constitution has.

When people ask me why I like Linux, my go-to reason is my main personal machine. I use it for everything I do outside of work, including running my Emby server.

I built it from $500 worth of parts 13 years ago. I’ve kept updating the os and applications. It’s starting to slow down a bit after the last os upgrade, but it’s still plenty usable.

I am getting concerned about the spinning platters. As far as I am aware, Linux won’t prevent an ancient hard disk drive from reaching the natural end of is life.

It’s probably time to move on to a new machine. Well, new motherboard, CPU, RAM, and disks at least.

So sitting on my ass eating candy isn’t the way to lose weight?

That’s ridiculous.

The spy’s actual activities are criminal. They didn’t come into the country to get a job working construction or to get an education or escape criminal activities at home. They came into the country to specifically violate the laws of the country.

If a hitman comes into a country to assassinate someone, it doesn’t matter if they’re doing it for money. They should be held accountable for the crimes they commit in the country.

Did you read the article? They weren’t migrants, they were spies.

I’m ok with people sneaking in to make money. I’m ok with people sneaking in to escape bad situations.

Don’t pretend that spies aren’t committing a crime in the country where they are spying.

I’m guessing the French wouldn’t be especially accommodating to such vigilantism.

You are absolutely correct!

You’d need to use a guillotine.

I’m just going to drop this here:

Long ago when my wife and I moved into our house, after we moved Kaybee the cat in, I witnessed a mouse run from under the dishwasher over to the cat’s dish, steal a piece of food, and run back.

I went and got the cat, took him to the kitchen, and sat on the floor with him to show him the mouse. The mouse repeated the theft, but Kaybee was still too freaked out from the change of residence to react.

A few days later I found a dead mouse on the floor with a piece of cat food in its mouth. I interpreted that as Kaybee’s way of saying, “I’m back on duty. All you mouse bastards are on notice.”

As I understand it, it isn’t sunlight, but distance.

If a child spends all its time indoors focusing on nothing farther than the walls, myopia will result.

Because ignoring genocides is what the world does.

“This is frightening! Someone like me afraid of heights might just wet myself up there!” wrote one Chinese online commenter.

If you’re afraid of heights, why the hell would you be up there? Wrong turn on the way to the corner store?

You might be a bot.

Israel has decided to implement a “final solution” to the “Palestinian question”.

I run Linux on my personal machine.

My needs aren’t particularly demanding. Web browsing, watching streaming services, accounting software, some low impact games, 3D modeling, and running a video server.

I assembled my machine from $500 worth of parts 12 years ago. In between, I’ve added some RAM, and about 8TB of mirrored disk to store movies for the video server.

Admittedly, I’m starting to be concerned about the age of the disks, and I think I’d like a better processor, but money is tight.

Given the age of the thing, there’s a chance that it’s just going to drop dead one of these days, but it’s been running for years without me having to do anything but install updates for the OS.

If I recall correctly, he got the job by scaring the shit out of Kubrick.

While I don’t disagree, I have a point to make.

Recently watched a home movie of our kids when they are little (18 years ago), so ages between 3 & 8.

It was a little horrifying to hear the absolute despair in our voices as my wife and I kept asking one kid after the other, “please stop.”

Three kids, all desperately trying to get ALL the attention. It’s amazing the five of us survived.

I don’t particularly recall the day the video was made. Hearing our voices, it sounds like we were just completely past the breaking point. Yet, consider: that was a moment that we considered adorable enough to record forever. Watching it now, they were adorable. However, it sounds like we were dying inside without realizing it.

I hear the same voices in every video. I love my kids and I love being a parent, but it’s amazing looking back how much that and all the other demands on us was just absolutely crushing the life out of us.

Nah, the fix is gonna have to be a workaround

Ah, yes. The “do nothing but cross your fingers and pray it doesn’t bite you in the ass” workaround.
