Pretty sure that's completely acceptable in parts of northern California (source: born and raised in northern California).

Blender has entered he chat (unless things have changed since I used it last).

I was writing up my problem set answers once, and it involved the (complex analysis) residue. I wasn't sure if there was a shortcut (as opposed to \mathrm); googling latex residue did not produce the search results I was hoping for...

I'm curious what you're doing on an SBC that explicitly requires x86, though?

Not parent, but I used ARM SBCs for a bit, and while it was nice, my x86 experience with a nuc has been much, much better. HW acceleration works on some RPIs, and sort of worked on my Orange Pi 5+, but only when using an ancient kernel which had some hacks (like, kernel debug messages saying "DISABLE THIS FOR RELEASE!"). And afaik RPI 5 doesn't support hw encoding (not to mention no SSD support).

Basically, my experience was that the hardware was neat if sometimes limited, the energy consumption was great, but the software/kernel support...ugh. YMMV of course.

1. Certainly depends; and it depends on traffic volume!

2. Definitely something to consider; many folks (myself included) use a free/cheap VPS as the endpoint, and reverse proxy to home, via some VPN (WireGuard in my case). Works well, and lots of guides online.

And many folks have headless setups

raspberry pis, home servers, VPSs, etc. It's kinda overkill to install a desktop environment on a headless box if the only reason you need it is so you can VNC into it for a simple task that could be done over ssh.

The Taco Bell meme afaik isn't about food poisoning at all, it's that it's a lot of oil-rich beans, which can have a certain effect.

Regarding food poisoning, I think you're right that it's worse in the USA, but the EU is not without food poisoning. My suspicion is that the media attention is different in part because food in Europe tends to come from smaller farms, whereas in the USA it tends to come from larger farms (is my understanding). So, an outbreak at a farm in the USA is bad because it potentially affects a huge number of people, whereas in the EU it may be a smaller farm with less of an impact (so any individual outbreak is less impactful). Just a guess, and it's in my opinion good to strive for lots of small farms rather than a few big ones.

I for one am glad this demographic got exactly what they voted for.

Emphasis mine.

The problem is that "they" did not all vote this way. Yeah, I too am glad that the Trumpers are getting their comeuppance

fuck them. But your rhetoric is a bit extreme and devoid of empathy.

For some (most?) of us, we don't have ssh access open to the world, so everything is over a VPN. So I can just use NFS over WireGuard which afaik is fairly secure, if you trust your endpoints, and works great over the Internet.

This realization/acceptance led to us having kids.

This is obvious though

currently, you might test a drug on mice, then on primates, and finally on humans (as an example). It would be faster to skip the early bits and go straight to human testing.

...but that is very, very, very wrong. Science of course doesn't care about right and wrong, nor does it care if you "believe" in it, which is the beautiful thing about science

so a scientifically sound experiment is a scientifically sound experiment regardless of ethical considerations. (Which does not mean we should be doing it of course!)

Now, taking a step back, maybe you're right that, in the long run, throwing ethics out the window would actually slow things down, as it would (rightfully) cause backlash. But that's getting into a whole "sociology of science" discussion.

I miss the days when that X font was only associated with Xorg...
