My first vehicle was a 1971 Ford 3/4 ton. It was extremely reliable and tough. Having sat for most of the previous 30 years in a barn, it even looked good.

But it had all of the safety features of 1971. Power brakes the would lock up and throw you off the road if you more than thought about braking. Lap belts and a solid steel steering wheel to smash your teeth on. If you somehow hit the steering wheel hard enough to break it, you’d be impaled on the steel pipe steering column. Speaking of the steering, it didn’t have power steering, so if you hit a rut on a rough road, the steering wheel would spin out of control. You had to just let go of it until it stopped spinning lest it break your thumbs. Also, the gas tank was inside the cab behind the seat for extra car crash fun.

It was a beautiful death trap. I kinda wish I could have put it back into a barn for another 30 years instead of selling it.

Or maybe 13,500 miles. But what’s a few zeros between friends?

Well that’s just lying be omission. Lots of people were disabled or disfigured too.

/sbin is like /bin, but for system administrative type commands. /usr holds all the other software that isn’t critical to get the system up and running.

A device file is a special file that’s like a pointer to a piece of actual hardware, like a serial port or a hard drive. /dev also has some non-hardware special files like /dev/zero. When you read from that one, you get an endless stream of zeros. Or /dev/null, that discards any data that’s written to it.

Also, unless you’re one of those people who legitimately doesn’t care if food tastes good or not, learn to cook. You don’t have to be good a cooking everything, but develop a repertoire of food that is healthy and you like to eat.

The age where you could depend on a wife to be a good cook for you are long past.

It’s not a hard real time OS though. Real Time Linux would be appropriate for some subsystems in a car, but not for things that are safety critical with hard timing constraints, e.g. ABS controllers.

Honestly, they can just send the keywords. No need to send audio if they can match 1000 or so words that are most meaningful to advertisers and send counts of those.

AFAIK this is only speculated, not proven.

The bear uses Arch, BTW.

And that’s why you should never pull an unconscious person out of a fire. QED.

As a non-American, it’s crazy to me that there (apparently) aren’t any safe storage laws enforced. Would it really infringe people’s gun rights to require that all firearms may only be in a safe, in your hands, or on your person (in a holster, sling, etc.)?

At least some of the app developers have realized that if they develop for Postgres they get to keep the Sql Server licensing costs for themselves. Windows server licensing costs too, if they’re clever.

Unfortunately the old janky enterprise shit will probably never get updated. You know the ones. The ones that think they’re new and hip because they support SSO (Radius only)

People think the Olympics is about athletics. It’s not. It’s about corporate sponsors and construction contracts.

Most games work well; some don’t yet, and a few probably never will (CoD, PUBG). The easiest way to check is to go here: https://protondb.com and either look up the games you actually play, or just give it your steam profile URL on the profile page and have it scan your library.

Unlike Canada, where the consensus seems to be that the country is ruined now. Not damaged, or heading in the wrong direction or anything, but actually ruined. The only things that can save us now is banning all gender bathrooms and adopting bitcoin.

Like most of Microsoft’s more odious features, this one can be turned off through GPO/Intune policy across an organization. As such, the liability will mostly fall on the organization to make sure it’s off. The privacy and security impacts will be felt by individuals and small businesses.

They claim that the data is only stored locally, so far. We’ll see, I guess.

I don’t think this is a good example of class struggle, at least not directly. The bear meme is valid in as much as it describes one woman’s feelings, but the truth is that in 85-90% of cases, the woman knows her attacker¹. The random man is simply not the issue.

The issue is power disparity. Teacher vs student, employer vs worker, landlord vs tenant. It’s difficult to reduce the power difference due to physical strength, but the others are all changeable. More (meaningful) oversight for police, better tenancy boards, and stronger unions are all examples of structures that might make it harder to victimize women.

Class struggle explains economic, and maybe political power, but those are not the only types of power in play.

And if I’m wrong? Then we’ve made a better society for nothing.

Furries, to be sure, but atheists?

The question is so vague as to be essentially useless. It leaves so much to the reader to imagine that everyone is all over the place drawing different conclusions. How much does the reader know about forests? What kind of forest did they imagine? What kind of bear? When the reader imagines a random man, what pops into their mind? Does he live there, or was he randomly kidnapped and placed in the forest for the purpose of the scenario?

Further, even if we go with what some other posters are saying, and ignore the bear, it’s still kind of useless, except to highlight how careful women feel they have to be around strange men.

For what it’s worth, in Canada the recommendation is to base the response on bear behaviour, taking into account the bear species. Don’t challenge or threaten a bear that’s protecting its cubs, or guarding a kill. Do challenge a curious bear, and fight back against predatory bears.

Of course, since bears behave like big dumb humans, the advice mostly also applies to meeting people too :)
