Honestly, I'm not surprised at all that a good ol' boy farmer from Georgia would have a nickname like that. Dude even looks like I imagined he would.

Vincent Mearl "Zippy" Duvall Sr.

Uncanny, ain't it?

IMO Iranian fucking us up would've entailed them sinking a carrier. Running away because of malfunctions and logistics failures is us fucking ourselves up, and is even more pathetic and embarrassing.

These days they're just as likely to hang up on you instead of transferring you to a human.

Ah, that finally explains the mystery of the Quimbaya Jets!

See, Malayo-Polynesians expanded across the Pacific, made contact with Amerindians in Colombia, and apparently traded their fighter jet technology for kūmara (sweet potato, a New World crop that the Polynesians had before the Columbian exchange too). Then those Amerindians time-traveled 1000 years into their past to give the jet plans to their ancestors who, through a hilarious error in metric-ancient unit conversion, made tiny gold models of them instead.

[Big, fat

\S

for about half of that.]

Yeah, but calling it pseudo- is funnier.

I'm behind on my Orville. Were they actually playing Dolly Parton's music in this clip?

As if the rest of them aren't?

Law is a profession where people dress up in funny clothes (even powdered wigs, in some places!) and say pseudo-Latin at each other. The words aren't magical incantations, but they're close enough that sovcits think they are.

It is profoundly silly.

Yeah, I always felt like I was either pointlessly restating the obvious or it expected me to derive the damn thing from first principles.

::: spoiler AI slop proof, just because I was curious if duck.ai could do it

Using the natural numbers defined from 0 by the successor operation S:

1=S(0), 2=S(1), ... , 20=S^20^(0), 40=S^40^(0)

Define a < b to mean that there exists a natural number k such that

a+k=b.

Take a=20 and k=20. By repeated addition,

20+20=40.

Since 20 is a natural number, there exists a natural number k such that

20+k=40.

Therefore, by the definition of the ordering relation,

20<40.

The Costco $1.50 hot dog is gourmet!

Or at least it was, until they stopped giving out sauerkraut and brown mustard <grumble, grumble>

But seriously though, Costco hot dogs are objectively excellent, regardless of price.

Is it actually open, or is it Tivoized (i.e. DRM'd)? Is the vendor compliant with the GPL? Is it actually a named distro (whether a normal desktop one or a specialized one like Tizen), or some weird half-proprietary thing? Is there community support for it?

The questions I have about these sorts of things usually have nothing to do with hardware specs or features and everything to do with aspects of the system that aren't ever mentioned in the product listing. Frankly, I'm surprised that the product even mentions the words "Linux system" at all, rather than leaving it completely ambiguous about what OS it uses. Last time I was shopping around, which I'm now realizing was a few years ago at this point, it seemed like half the stuff might've even been running some kind of embedded Windows -- that's how unclear it was.

What's the difference between a (bad connotation) "colonial derivation" and a (neutral connotation) "transliteration?"

Remember, there was no native writing system and therefore no original orthographic form to be faithful to. "Ontario" and "Ontarí:io" are damn similar, so who's to say "Ontario" wasn't just a reasonable 17th Century transliteration from the time before diacritical marks were a thing?

"Ontario" is already an indigenous word.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario#Etymology :

Ontario is a term thought to have Indigenous origins, either Ontarí:io, a Huron (Wyandot) word meaning "great lake",[16] or possibly skanadario, which means "beautiful water" or "sparkling water" in the Iroquoian languages.[17]

IMO a PSU that refuses to charge at 5V without a negotiation fails at complying with plain old USB itself, let alone USB-PD.

I can almost guarantee that there were schools named after both Strom Thurmond and George Wallace somewhere at the time this strip was written (if not still today).

Edit: Strom Thurmond High School, Johnston, SC

Couldn't find any schools named after George Wallace, but there are still some streets and other buildings named after him, and at least one school suspiciously named "Wallace" that I suspect was renamed to some other Wallace as an act of malicious compliance.

Anyway, Huey is right to be pissed off.

Yes, we'll survive. Except for all those who don't (millions so far, between COVID, ending of USAID, ICE, attacks on Venezuela and Iran, etc.).

The former, LOL!

The Classico mason jars are branded "Atlas," but it is surprisingly difficult to figure out who actually makes them. (It isn't the same Atlas company that made real canning jars; that's been out of business for decades.)

Classico itself is owned by Kraft Heinz, which AFAIK isn't associated with Freemasonry, but it is a multinational food conglomerate and that's worse.

A cheap Linux Headunit with no cellular connectivity is fine.

Got a recommendation? I've been looking for such a thing for years!

How have the positions been "vacant?" What happened to the people who actually won?

Doesn't matter. Non-fascists should force debate on impeachment over and over again, hammering on Trump's crimes and tyranny and obstructing Congress from all other business.

And have new computers be made unaffordable.
