Maybe don't use body shaming terms though? That's just lazy, and it's mean to other people, not just the target of the insult.

This election isn't about "which one," it's about voting vs. abstaining.

Duh, just read it back from /dev/random

You will recover the data, you just need to wait long enough.

Same argument against vegetarianism/veganism


we have teeth "designed" or evolved for eating meat, thus we should eat meat.

...we also have brains capable of abstract reasoning, but nevermind that!

I think it has a lot to do with disposition and convenience. I'm lazy, and I don't like to drive if I can help it. But I live near enough to public transportation that we'll spontaneously decide to hop on the subway and grab dinner on the waterfront.

It's not the money that's preventing us from hopping in the car to go to some new beach for dinner, it's the convenience.

I mean...it depends on the job? I go on walks during working hours all the time to clear my head and think about a problem I'm working on. I don't try to hide this from my manager.

Just stick to elements lighter than iron and you'll be fine.

Kids, this is why dimensional analysis matters.

At 28 years old, it's safe to say Leo doesn't use KDE.

Happy birthday!

That's how I started using Linux


big book with CD, I think it was "RedHat Linux Secrets 5.4" or something. 2.0 or 2.2 kernel.

Honestly, it was fantastic. And almost all of it is still relevant today. (Some of the stuff on xfree86 and the chap/pap stuff not so much.)

But it gave a really solid (IMHO) intro to a Linux/*NIX system, a solid overview of coreutils, etc. And while LILO has been long replaced, and afaik /sys didn't exist at the time, it formed a good foundation.

I'll refrain from commenting on any init system changes that have taken place since then.

Just use your $200+ Fluke to check the batteries, problem solved.
