If only we could do something about this problem which got inexplicably worse when we worsened regulations and working conditions...

"In each round Tuesday, the lowest vote-getter will be eliminated until a single candidate secures a simple majority of those in the room."

Ranked choice, how progressive ?!

I'm actually surprised that the satanic temple isn't pushing for him to be charged with some kind of hate crime. Pretty sure if so decapitated a statue of Jesus it wouldn't just be destruction of property?

I thought the scripture was quite clear with that whole "Thou shalt not kill" part...

That sounds cool... Wish the article said what it does.

Lenovo/Thinkpad will certify certain models for use with Linux, other brands sell Linux laptops. Those are obviously good indicators that those models should be safe to choose. More generally, the more popular a model is, and the longer it's been on the market the more likely they are to be compatible, just because they are in people's hands and people tinker with them and add stuff to the Linux Kernel. So stay away from the latest model that is uncertified, and don't choose the flashy, overpriced model that will see poor sales.

We should remove all those laws barring children working in mines, because common sense is that mining companies would not employ children... You are conflating two issues here. What the world ought to do, and what is really happening. Folks in Texas are struggling in the sun, and we ought to give them any tool we can do they can fight back.

Is it just me, or did snacking get really expensive? I'm more amazed how people are allowing companies to fleece them like that. And then there are the sugar drinks for adults, brought to you by Starbucks & co.

Ironically, Musk also wanted us to believe that 50% of those were bots just a couple months ago...

“We are f**king assault troops, we are not territorial defense and they just tell us now!”

Oh sweet summer child, of course they wouldn't tell you that on advance...

Didn't even have time to get properly set up from the looks of it.

I cannot tell you how many towels the average person uses, or what the distribution is. Though it's probably less than 4. What I can say is that it doesn't hurt anybody, so if it feels good for you, just do it. That's the nice thing about being an adult, you can do what you want.

I would note though that it's probably much more important how often you change and wash your towels than how many you use.

I'm not sure I understand. I've already been running ffmpeg from the command line and it's been using multiple cores but default. What's the difference, what's the new behavior?

I remember the first mission of hotline Miami. You take the phone call and learn that you are supposed to kill some people. You learn how to use your guns. You kill a bunch of baddies, quite badass. Then at the end of the mission, the screen starts swaying more than usually, and the protagonist vomits in an alley. Of course, he just killed for the first time, overwhelming. Makes him quite human, more than many other protagonists, despite the pixel art style.

Love the Airplane Mode bit

99% ... They pulled that number put of their ass...

We are pursuing both options, and think that if a planetary sunshade is built, the initial phases of construction will be an Earth-launched architecture while the later phases will use space resources and in-space construction

Great, so it's a 50 years plan then. Too bad we can't do anything right now I guess.

The maximum penalty for the offence was $120,000.

Classic. The cost of doing business. Pay $120,000 and you can do whatever you want with impunity.

Sounds like them want a full-blown institutional crisis...

Stable as in rarely crashes, or stable as in rarely changes over the years?

The LTS versions of Ubuntu are stable in the second sense, they get ten years of support but you're stuck with old versions or (stable) programs in exchange. I also have not seen any of them experience a fatal crash, too. So stability isn't the issue, its more about what you want to do and compatible with most recent versions of software.
