That’s like having google make a pizza with everything in my fridge then they complain that I also keep the dog’s food in there.

… A sunny disposition?

How amazing computer games look now.

I mean, I’m impressed now, on behalf of ten year old me I suppose.

“42”

“The answer to life the universe and everything is 42!?”

“Yes, I checked it quite thoroughly.”

…

“But what was the actual question?”

Alternatively, garbage in, garbage out.

It’s correct, as much as any English is correct, but not typically spoken naturally like that.

The press (newspapers) has an idiosyncratic grammar, probably born of maximising space in a newspaper column. Headlines are often grammatical nightmares, body copy less so.

One could think of it as a form of semantic compression.

“There’s only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures and the Dutch.” – Nigel Powers

I too am an etymology geek, I had to look up “aptronym” (I already knew there was a word for it, but couldn’t remember it) but already knew “patronym”. I can occasionally work out the approximate Latin roots of words and take a stab at what to search for.

Regarding names’ positions moving around… that’s just people. People name their children all sorts of stupid things that eventually become normal.

Jackson is a patronymic last name: Jack’s son.

Smith is an aptronymic last name: a smith.

So yeah, bang on.

Are they actually US bases or are they actually NATO bases?

If the latter, then it’d just be case of “my swipe card doesn’t work anymore”.

USA: besti can do is sanctions and blockade

I certainly was coming in to these comments.

I trialled both a while ago, chose ummich asits face recognition was superior.

There were other reasons, but I’ve forgotten them.

“Somebody shit in my pants.”

If you’re using LVM, ZFS, or Btrfs then you can use their features and tooling to migrate data from one disk to the other, assuming you’re able to connect both at the same time.

I’ve done this online with btrfs several times now and it’s quite painless, admittedly only for self hosted stuff.

I imagine that technicality is going to be that it was (apparently) Israeli police not IDF.

There’s lots of good explanations of what the US Constitution allows… but they don’t actually matter!

No matter which branch of government (executive, judicial, or legislature) have the power to “do away with pardons” the same has the power to bring them back.

In parliamentary systems this is called the “supremacy of parliament”.

So even if Biden could issue an executive order to stop pardons then Trump can just executive order them back.

Where we’re going you won’t need eyes.

CEO material.

Two nightmares from when I was a child:

1. Earth is suddenly in orbit around Jupiter and it’s filling the sky, everything is bathed in Jupoter-shine light.
2. Earth is visited by human-sized black amorphous blobs that just appear and disappear at random, destroy anything they intersect with, instill abject terror in anyone who sees them.

So as not to distract from the pretty things.
