It was just about a asinine as you would assume.

Awesome follow through. Thank you.

Got a source on how they hid the body? It’s very not cool if that’s what was done. I know the Nazis are trying to turn him into a martyr, and having the body both to hide from the investigation and to make it mysterious so they can tell any lies they like is classic.

I’ve been trying the cheaper stuff. Some of it is great. Don’t be afraid to try the bottom shelf items these days.

Germany’s government is also pointing out that the nation needs 100’s of thousands of skilled workers to fill jobs. The local training services aren’t seeking the enrollments needed to fill the jobs, so where do they come from?

The usual suspects are in huge demand (MSTEM fields), but also anyone skilled in the trades is in high demand.

That’s not the same as asylum seekers in general, but with falling birthrates, the EU must import people or the current models must change away from oligarchy-oriented capitalism. Given how the rich people move the decision making, but those same people push right wing populism to oppress populations, they end up in a cleft fork: not enough local workers to feed the baby crushing machine, while requiring xenophobia to maintain their power base. Once the situation becomes untenable, they turn to fascism to maintain their power.

Tough times ahead, just like usual.

I’m pretty cool with being forgotten most of the time, especially in general “stir the pot to make people fight over stupid shit instead of building guillotines for the real problem” kinds of stuff.

But yes, I drank (and do sometimes drink) from garden hoses. It’s just tap water delivered with more volume and outdoors.

Nothing in the general case.

If I’m having issues getting to sleep because of stress, I turn on a Mighty Jingles World of Warships video. I usually don’t make it past the intro and I’m out.

It’s just more right wing media distraction from The List not being released and keeping us from noticing encroaching fascism across the US.

It should just be that the government doesn’t patrol the high seas, of course! Every ship should enter into personal 1-on-1 contracts with each pirate for a market appropriate rate to ensure they don’t get attacked. The Libertrian way won’t cause any issues of scale, rampant loss of merchant ships, and an eventual ending of all oceangoing shipping outside of the handful of ships that can afford their own navies to escort them… /s

Anything except dealing with the problem itself.

I left the US and took my kids. We no longer have to deal with active shooter drills and school shootings are a national tragedy here, with about one per decade.

Have your cyberpunk drones and children terror drills, but make sure you can still have your guns!

Come to the Open Source community for ideology, stay for the better life. It’s a learning curve to get in. After that it’ll open more doors and be much more relaxing to run OSS operating environments than you think.

The real fun is when you’ve been on Linux for a few years and are forced to do some tasks on a Windows machine. It’s amazing how bad the Windows UI and tooling is, but it’s hard to see until you can look with some perspective.

I usually start a desktop on Mint since it’s got at least some new drivers and a few more tools with Cinnamon desktop.

If the hardware is finicky or there’s odd devices a distro doesn’t handle, I often just try a different distro instead of driver hacking. It’s a very big hammer, but I’d rather have things work with the distro configs instead of maintaining it myself.

Servers? Debian.

Desktops? Mint (prettier Debian out of the box)

Otherwise? Use what works with the least effort.

The answer is: badly and inefficiently. It’s the American way!

Since 1998, baby! Found my RedHat 3.0.3 install CD recently. It’s been such a long road, but it keeps getting better.

Have you looked in Nature’s Pocket?

I’m not in Canada, but a recent quote from one of our city councilmen when asked about improving rail service between cities was:

“You should just fly like adults”

Walking? Using public transit? That’s for poors.

I haven’t had broadcast or cable TV for at least a decade now. The major news/media outlets hold very little interest given their approach to generally being informative in any serious way. So, no, our household doesn’t watch TV.

There it is. Thank you for the great summary of the tautology that is reveleation-based religion. In the end, it all boils down to a presup argument with no basis and dries up under even a modicum of analysis.

That’s the Fox News (or similar) pus leaking out of OP’s head. Up until that line they were sorta on a basic “I don’t understand why people value reason over superstition” track, but then veered into crazyland.

Here, I’ll give you some balm for the wounds of time:

Use it wisely.
