We had kids --- we wanted to make friends in our 30s, so we just made the friends. Problem solved.
(In all seriousness, your friend --- or at least, acquaintance --- group explodes when you have daycare/kid activities.)
Some bulk food stores let you bring your own. You put a sticker on them with the bulk item # and also the dry weight, so it's a little more work, but then you can put your jars to use!
I thought it was just "Slashdotted."
The Gulf of Lesser Canada does have a certain ring to it...
Newer macOS is not Unix certified.
It's UNIX 03 compliant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification
One or two Linux distros were (are?) UNIX certified, though.
Indeed, the 1st and 3rd worst offenders for plastic per capita are administrative regions of China (Macau and Hong Kong) https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/plastic-pollution-by-country
There's a bulk food store near me and it allows BYO containers (or you can use one of their compostable bags). It's great! A little bit more work (you need to tare your/container write down the empty weight), but you get your goods in the container of your choice.
What's the alternative? Strong arm a democratically elected --- even if stupid at times --- government to change policy? That's a terrifying precedent.
The other alternative is to backdoor or otherwise compromise users in other jurisdictions. Glad they didn't do that.
You can ride your bike on many highways in the USA at least. Generally you cannot on the freeway, but there are some exceptions --- in California there are requirements about bike accessibility which means that certain segments of a freeway may be bike accessible.
If you live far from a store then groceries are a problem unless you use a trailer, but if you live in a city it's totally reasonable to use a bike (or walk) for your weekly groceries.
And you can get a new Trek FX for under $600, and that's just from a quick search. Yes of you want Ultegra or better and a carbon frame, the sky is the limit.
The subhead is
The ads promoted extremist hate speech
It wasn't clear to me from the title if "referencing Nazi war crimes" was a good or bad thing (as in, "don't let history repeat itself" seems a good message, but that's apparently not the perspective the ad was pushing...).
Living things are "entropy eaters" --- they take in energy, reduce their own entropy, and poop out entropy to the environment. This is fine, and it doesn't violate any thermodynamics if you look at the whole picture.
So I think the point is that creationists take a myopic view and only look at the creature itself, where indeed it reduces its own entropy...but that's because the creationists are stupid and ignore, you know...everything else.
This is true not only for individual animals, but for evolution itself --- more complexity in animals can be viewed as a decrease in entropy (again, this is only a problem if you ignore the rest of the universe).
Their argument is the same as saying that you can open your fridge door to cool off your room.
I think mplayer has an ASCII output mode (VLC, too?), and I believe youtube-dl can output to stdout.
The rest is, as they say, left as an exercise to the reader.
Sounds like he was a mantis and was posting while copulating.
Haha yeah that was the counter example I was thinking of. I agree completely --- you could make a Gentoo from source beginner distro, and I think you could make it reasonably "idiot proof," but it would still be a bad user experience most likely (too much time spent compiling).
If your distro can't be forked into a "beginner distro" then it's fundamentally flawed IMHO.
To be clear, I've used Arch as my daily drivers for a while, and while it's not the best fit for my needs (I use Debian mostly), there's nothing that I experienced that was incompatible with a "beginner" distro.
Oh absolutely; the folks who sat at home, are outraged that a fascist is in power, and are too dumb to understand how voting works to realize that they enabled it --- they are infuriating.

It's kinda a weird take? Like if I'm in a discussion about some scary things AfD are doing and a left-of-center German joins the conversation, I'd like to think I'd have the ability to...you know...hear what they have to say about things.
There are a bunch of Americans who asked for this; there are a bunch who stood by and did nothing to stop it; and there are a bunch who tried to stop it, did not, and are devastated.
I guess at the end of the day it's just a meme.
