My ophthalmologist calls it 20/20.

That’ll teach him a lesson.

Easy, White Fang

I read it as play a random album straight through, first song to last song, but re-reading what they wrote, you may be right.

Minus that second pipe to shuf, it seems exactly what the person wanted.

Seems like it would be pretty easy to set up some cron job that would change a symlink to a folder every hour and just run programs from that symlink.

I would imagine that if you know enough to legitimately have a favorite shell, you don’t really have an issue running chsh

It shows one person greening an average pension is 57 times more effective in dealing with the climate crisis than having a vegan diet and 20 times better than driving an electric car.

I heard a similar news report on PBS a couple weeks ago. Aside from the obvious, and already mentioned, don’t have kids. Both for the environment, and to not put your kids through the coming bullshit.

…but Texas was a confederacy state.

When we spend this much on the fucking military and are worried about declining stockpiles, there can be no doubt about widespread corruption.

After reading Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future, I’ve just been crossing my fingers for homemade drones to start taking down private planes.

Top comment on that page is perfect:

One wrote their own operating system incorporating others ideas on operating systems, the other’s mom bought theirs.

I’m often a dick. I probably wouldn’t say anything immediately, and then use that asinine opinion to dismiss anything else the person says later. Forever. They say something about <whatever topic>, “Yeah, but you also think vaccines kill people, so we already know you are an idiot.” Just on repeat on every opinion they voice, until they never want to say anything around me or talk to me.

“Oh shit, we’re getting hammered with our Constitutional violations all over the news! We have to do something”

A little thinking, then some genius looks across the room

“Hey!! Hegseth, finish that drink and then go threaten Greenland like the alcoholic Nazi you are. That’ll distract them!”

“There weren’t any campaigns that had failed after they had achieved 3.5% participation during a peak event,” says Chenoweth – a phenomenon she has called the “3.5% rule”.

Me scatching my head thinking,“10% of Hong Kong protested and still got stomped by China’s boot.” I suppose it could be argued that it’s not the same thing.

I had always thought that the Luddites were anti-tech. I’m pretty sure that’s what I was taught, decades ago. I found this article an interesting read on the topic. Hmm. Learn something most days.

For me, personal justice almost has to be punitive. But I’m an asshole. And more importantly, I’m not society, just an insubstantial slice of it. Any study on how to deal with crime shows that punitive measures rarely, if ever, increase the wellness of society. Rehabilitation, understanding, hippie dippy shit, has a much greater positive impact on society, as hard as that may be to stomach. Facts are facts, regardless of feelings.

I just read this on another site. So who the fuck really knows what is going on?

The Pentagon also deployed 700 U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton, with a military convoy heading from Twentynine Palms toward the City of Angels.

From the article:

Earlier this week, he also activated 700 marines from the Twentynine Palms base two hours’ drive to the east, describing Los Angeles as a “trash heap” that was in danger of burning to the ground.
