I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there are bribes from the US oil industry involved in that decision, because that's one of the main groups profiting off the current US fuckup in the middle-east.

Huh. And hereabouts I can generally get a good 250g block of chocolate for the equivalent before tax of US$3.40.

I propose they compromise by going out of business after deleting all data and removing their cameras from everywhere.

As did the person you replied to.

Are you suggesting the American Very Spicy might actually come between Mild and Medium? I guess you might be right, but I'm a tad sceptical.

The first US war hero of the second world war. A man who missed out on being awarded the Medal of Honor due to the Secretary of the Navy being racist. Why would they ever name a ship after that guy when they could name one after a draft dodging dodderer instead?

I was given a container of "hot chilli sauce" for christmas. It barely counts as mild to me, and I wouldn't say I have great spice tolerance.

People are idiots.

And I'm people.

You can. And you can also make yourself a bearded lady avatar. I recommend trying it out during one of their periodic free play weekends. You'll either quickly work out what you hate about the game, or you have a higher tolerance for glitches than I did.

Whether it's technically a scam or not, the naming just makes it far too easy to refer to it as Scam Citizen.

Macron should be a bit more realistic. Expecting Trump to be serious?!?

Meidas Touch. Clickbait headlines and thumbnails, unrealistically optimistic takes on things. I want information, not bullshit.

Systemd is fine, but we should be aiming for better than fine.

That being said., there's definitely something to be said for sticking with "fine" until something else proves itself to be at least adequate with potential to be better than merely fine.

As someone who's created a timer, cron is much more straightforward.

Systemd has its good points, but most of that is the core functionality as a sysvinit replacement in my opinion. And it's entirely likely that at least one of the newer alternatives is a better option for that.

If Democrats take all of the senate seats that are up for election, they'll be able to get the two thirds majority needed to convict him in the senate after impeachment. The odds of that happening are somewhere between slim and none.

Otherwise, unless some of the Republican senators cross the aisle, you're stuck with President Trump for the next couple of years assuming he survives.

In my day we used to know fuck all about shit. But kids these days...

Or gallium hydride? GaH.

Approximately 9.8 metres per second per second.

Avocado is fine. Not worth paying a premium for, but still ok. The biggest problem with it other than the price is getting it ripe (and not overripe) and unbruised. Too much effort for something that's just fine.

For adding a quick thing to make something happen at a specific time, I can add a cron job in a couple of minutes. To add a timer takes creating a couple of files with syntax that took me a while to look up last time I needed it, and running a command. Then debugging. Sure, the timer has benefits, but cron jobs are still simpler.

On the bright side, there's actually a "crontab -t" command that apparently can be used to generate timer files from a crontab line, which I hadn't known of before today.
