Yeah, that’s fair. US mindset, I’m just still processing our shitshow.

Theoretically, sure. Pragmatically, we just elected a fascist insurrectionist, and it’s not going to happen in the near future.

(1/3) +(1/2)(1/3) = 1/2

Math checks out from this end.

I can not imagine a sequel to Gladiator being as good as the original…but, damn, imagine if it was. That first movie is a classic.

It’s below the first one now, according to the page’s update. Not that rottentomatoes is super accurate on movie quality anyways.

Clinton left a booming economy and projections to reduce, if not eliminate, the national debt in 10 years. Then came another Bush. Bush left a shitty economy for Obama, through bullshit tax breaks for the rich during a time of bullshit military spending among other dumb actions. Obama fixed things. trump inherited a booming economy from Obama, and slowly (maybe quickly) ruined it through gross incompetence. Biden inherited a shit economy and inflation from that moron, trump. After dealing with fallout from stupid trump policies (that’s being generous), Biden managed to turn things around and the economy was once again doing pretty good. Now that dipshit trump will give his idiot voters and the rest of us another shitty economy that the next Dem will have to try to fix. The wheels on the bus go round and round.

I’m in that country and can’t disagree. I was just paraphrasing the line from the Joker movie to a friend of mine,“We’re going to get exactly what we deserve.”

In June 1973, Led Zeppelin played a legendary concert at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, where an unforgettable moment took place. As the band performed before over 50,000 fans, white doves were released during the closing of “Stairway to Heaven.” While most of the birds flew off into the crowd, one returned to the stage, landing unexpectedly on Robert Plant’s hand. The scene was striking: Plant, cigarette and drink in hand, calmly held the dove in the other, creating a serene image that contrasted with the band’s electric performance. -source

Legendary moment from a legendary group.

I grew up watching the TV show and didn’t hear the song with words until I was maybe a senior in HS. Kind of blew me away.

You’re right. I updated my response.

I’m unsure what benefit you get from this though.

Not much, to be honest. Links seem to load a lot quicker with the urls simplified. Other than that, no real reason to do it.

Thank you so much. I didn’t even think about Greasemonkey. I went to make a script using your code and it said there was already one available. That script looks like this:

Edit: Updated script

(function() {
    'use strict';

    var links = document.links;
    for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
        var referer = links[i].href.indexOf('&u=');
        links[i].href = decodeURIComponent(links[i].href.substr(referer + 3));
    }

})();

and it worked fine. Then I replaced that code with yours, and it worked just as well. Thanks again.

For me that is much more than a pet peeve.

In Future Shock,

Alvin Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a “super-industrial society”. This change, he states, overwhelms people. He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from “shattering stress and disorientation”—future shocked. -from WP

Should work. Just try it out and see if you get what you want. I tried:

alias llaa='pwd && ll'

then ran llaa and it did what I expected, current directory and the output of ls -al which is aliased.

Who watches the watchers?

I don’t know who y’all hang out with, but my friends for decades have given each other shit for anything we can possibly think of. It’s a form of male bonding.

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.

I’ve heard “over yonder as the crow flies”, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard “over yonder as the crow the flies”.

So freakin’ weird. I respect those that have turned down the “honor”.
