I expect he is a slow reader. He may not have gotten to that part of the book yet.

I wonder if this is his response to having his events called boring. Is he just thinking “people won’t leave if I start playing groovy music”.

Yes. This.

This video is absolutely worth the time it takes to watch it.

I have vitaligo. I’m just one person, but I wouldn’t care. Though, perhaps I’m not the best person to ask. Sometimes I forget about it until someone else makes an awkward comment. Personally, I think it’s kinda cool.

Maybe they’re hotdogs with a strong sense of justice.

I used to say I was 5’ 15". The number of times people would say “no way, your at least 6 feet” or something similar is amazing.

Instead of adding an account to the device with all of the management software that goes with it, one could use a generic SMTP email client (K-9 Mail?) and still get the email, but not have to worry about the privacy and remote administration concerns.

Edit: nevermind, I skimmed the question at first, and didn’t see the duo limitation. This solution probably isn’t an option.

Make friends with the guy. He’s got some some stories. True or not, he’s got some stories.

The only reason it is expanding is to keep up with inflation.

How much do you really think they care about what the constitution says?

It sounds like you’re looking for slaves. There’s a reason slavery is illegal.

If this isn’t deliberately rage bait, there is something very wrong with you.

Technically only one Judy Bloom book, but your point still stands and I agree. It’s pretty bizarre.

I assumed age appropriate was regarding content not difficulty. It is still a weird thing to emphasize though.

I’m not sure Walmart counts as reality.

After using Linux regularly for a couple years, I did a Linux From Scratch build just for fun. I found it a really good way to learn all of the key pieces of Linux and understand a little bit better how they all work together.

The way it’s setup, you get a choice to just copy paste commands and learn very little, or read the details and learn a bit more.

I never really used it for anything other than education. Keeping it up to date and secure is almost prohibitively complicated, but I learned a lot from the process. I just looked at the project for the first time in a long time. It looks like they now have a section to track security vulnerabilities along with suggested changes to address them. Perhaps it could be viable as a distro, but I have no desire to go through the whole process again to try.

Hehe

I am. 🙂

I think we agree on most of the points here, and now we’re just getting defensive about tone, and details.

I was just trying to point out that nothing has a way it is supposed to be. There is what things are, and there is what we want. Yes you can use many of the features of our language to convince people of your opinion.

I myself don’t like the idea of personifying the planet then imbuing it with opinions so I made the comment I did.

Changing topics. Good strategy.

Not even a little bit. I fully believe humans are causing climate change. It is going to make life as we know it on this planet completely different in the very near future.

I still think the planet itself doesn’t give a shit, and claiming there is a way it is “supposed to be” is pretty narrow minded.

the Earth is not supposed to

I don’t think we get to say what the earth is “supposed to” do.

For most of the earths existence it wouldn’t be possible for humans to exist. I don’t think it really gives a shit about a bridge we built.
