As someone from a different continent, I feel there’s a story here that we’re missing out on.

EDIT: Oh, price fixing. I didn’t expect that.

A box of 5x50 (metric) wood screws. Not because of black friday, but because I had ran out.

They probably haven’t unlocked enough of the tech tree yet for those.

I’ll TLDR the answers you’ve gotten already: Stick to systemd. It works.

…because beyond that I think the debate of systemd is mostly astrology at this point: Systemd is basically what handles startup and monitoring of services on your PC. It has largely replaced the older initd on most systems.

Systemd was somewhat controversial when it was first adopted by many distros as it was seen as bloated compared to initd, plus it was a fundamental shift in how services were handled.

Today it is a mature system and while it still has its detractors, I think it mainly comes down to astrology and elitism. Personally I’ve used both for ages, and it’s fine. So was initd. I just wish DNS wasn’t rolled into systemd, but I don’t care that hard, though.

You can’t just mix and match battery chemistry and call one superior. If you could, they’d all be inferior to a nuclear reactor in the right packaging anyway. But since you absolutely have to be pedantic about it, I’ll make this revision specially for you with emphasis in the right place:

Primary cells hold much more charge than an equivalent rechargeable battery with the same battery chemistry.

And you can’t just allow for different voltage ranges without all the electronics also being adjusted for that.

No. Primary cells are easy and cheap to manufacture, and hold much more charge than rechargeable equivalents.

And so much of everyday tech is already built around the form factor and voltage. You cannot change one without also changing the other. While I’m sure some battery sizes will go away with time, as some already have (Type B, anyone?), I’m willing to bet AA batteries will still be around in some form 100 years from now. Internals might change a little, and capacity might increase, but we’re still going to see 1.5V packed into those dimensions.

All of these look like glasses Elton John wore in the 70s

Those first four words caused me to mentally rap this to the Fresh Prince theme.

The white line. I drank a lot of that ages ago, and I have some specific sounds, smells, and other senses associated with it. I’m sure if I tasted it, a lot of specific memories would immediately trigger.

Decades of fox news propaganda, that’s all. They tapped into the cold war talking points when it came to anything Obama campaigned in.

Probably belongs in unpopularopinion, but: Chicken is a waste of spices an herbs.
“But you gotta season it, man!!”
I know. Put the same seasoning on any other meat, and it’ll immediately be a better dish.
Anything you can do with chicken can be done better with pork.

Ok, maybe not wings if you wanna be pedantic about it.

So there’s this chorus of unheard voices calling up into the void “is anyone there? We’re over here. Hello? Anyone?”

My impression of the internet for the past 20 years.

Both are fair points. In the latter case I think OPs of such post should, as a courtesy, add a note that they intend to delete.

I find people deleting their post after a few answers have been provided to be a problem here on asklemmy. As a mod I sometimes serve a relatively short bam when this happens for no real reason. While it isn’t explicitly against the rules, I find it very much to be against the spirit of the board, and it’s really not fair to the ones who took their time to write a response nobody will ever read.

I was on deck when lightning struck the MF/HF antenna. The backDeck was very low compared to most other things, so there was never any danger.

“Hey, Mike, you might wanna report that to the bridge” I asked of my coworker who had the radio.

The universe is so vast that it is statistically unlikely that this planet is the only inhabited one. But therein lies the problem: The vastness makes it impossible for us to confirm anything or even observe traces of hints.

We are alone in the universe. And the aliens, they are alone too.

45 degrees in Czech Republic: Probably the strongest beer you’ve ever tasted.

OSI model != OSI protocols

CLNS is not a pre-requisite for Layer 3.

While Wojtek serving in the Polish army during the invasion of Italy is true, a lot of his exploits are exaggerated. I still love it though.

Him helping out is confirmed, and if I remember correctly, the story of him carrying artillery shells is among the confirmed ones. And yes, he did in fact drink beer. But no, he didn’t smoke cigarettes, on the account of being a bear. He ate them, though.
