Small pedantic correction, but you can’t preface every command with sudo; only executables can be invoked with sudo as it can’t elevate your current shell. Naturally, the way to execute non-executables such as builtin routines as root is to just spawn into a root shell with sudo su.

Definitely, we need more regulation in the market or it’s only going to get worse.

I guess none of the other developed countries must be capitalist, because they seem not to not be influenced by capitalism’s incentive structures.

You might have some luck with a wm that can apply shaders.

Something like hyprland, wayfire, or compost could do the trick; and you’d be looking for a very diffuse (glsl) bloom shader with an exaggerated horizontal component or an additional scanline shader.

That’s obviously just reskinned domain/os. You thought you could fool us, but you haven’t got one over on me!

Domain/OS btw

Martha Stewart wasn’t actually convicted for insider trading, the judge threw that charge (securities fraud) out saying that no competent juror could find her guilty of it.

I can’t remember if the true basis for dismissing the charge was lack of evidence or a judicial determination, but if it was the latter that’s pretty damning (that investigators didn’t have a case); as a determination of innocence presumes all evidence is factual, to a reasonable extent, and a determination of no crime having taken place does the same in concluding that the evidence describes no crime relating to the dismissed charge having taken place. A kind of legal non-sequitor.

Depending on the program, there can indeed be a significant difference between exporting and ‘saving as’. For example, Excel will export as a csv in the standard format just fine, but if you ‘save as’ csv it’ll come with extra formatting symbols specific to Excel that’ll wreck attempts to use it in other programs that don’t handle for it.

I’m descendant of Aaron Burr’s grandfather and I don’t even like him. He was a cunt and a swindler if not with purpose (not to mention that other thing he did), why someone would choose that hill to die on I have no idea.

I initially read this as if Musk said he’d have them killed, since in EVE Online “to primary” someone means for a fleet commander to call someone out as the primary target and have their fleet start shooting at them.

Mules absolutely do require fuel; they’ll only be useful for a few days without food.

That is one reason, yes.

Many modern buildings are designed to withstand earthquakes of some magnitude; this is what reasonable prevention means.

You can’t prevent any natural force unless your uncle knows god (and is on good terms with them). What was stated was the ‘reasonable prevention of damage’. insurance companies that sell earthquake insurance won’t insure buildings that are not up to code, which in turn is based on locally expected disasters, their expected commonality, their expected severity, and what is considered to be reasonable measures for the prevention of damage (or an excess of e.g. mitigation).

For example, where I live you can’t get hail insurance unless you have impact resistant shingles. I had and have exactly that so I got hail insurance; after a particularly bad hail storm (and 8 previous years of wear) I filed a claim and had my entire roof redone at my insurer’s expense. I was kind of surprised how straight forward the process was and the stark absence of bullshittery, but I may have just gotten lucky. The area I’m in gets a lot of hail so it may also be in the insurer’s best interesting not to get a name for denying for hail damage.
