My lamp better start looking strange soon, because I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

The New York statue, in Union Square was removed early that afternoon; the New York City Parks Department made a statement that it “stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small”.

Gold.

Well? Does u/Agent641 get the computer?

You mean “they,” right?

Thanks so much for the informative and detailed reply. That pretty much answers every question.

Thanks also for the tip about LMDE. I actually really like Mint, I’m only switching because it’s the only distro I’ve tried and I feel like I should shop around a bit. Going to Debian because while starting my journey I want to shop around with things that work, rather than having to learn how to tinker all at once just to get things running. But if I decide I need Mint back I’ll probably check out LMDE for the hell of it.

Can you expand on this a little for a new guy who is considering a switch from Mint to Debian?

In my understanding Firefox ESR is like a stable, longstanding version that doesn’t get frequent little updates but still gets occasional large updates. (Like 1.0, 1.1, etc. rather than 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc.)

Is there a measurable difference in the user experience and or security of ESR?

And is Debian actually restricted to ESR?

What’s going on with your capitalization? I spent way too much time looking for hidden messages and came away with nothing except the - entirely unrelated - hypothesis that you are German.

It wasn’t actually Hemingway. Versions of the story can be found from 1906 when Hemingway was 7, and there is apparently no mention of a connection between him and the story before the 1990s.

Aren’t we all?

What the heck is the origin of this meme template? And am I the only one who thought this was Roger Stone?

Because the teacher is wrong and it’s an idiotic question.

The question asks the child to explain how Marty ate more pizza than Luis. “He didn’t” is not an appropriate answer to that question.

We know that Marty and Louis didn’t eat from the same pizza, because Marty ate 4/6 of a pizza and Luis ate 5/6 of a pizza. We also know that Marty did eat more, because it’s right there in the question.

The only logical answer is that Marty’s pizza is bigger, and so 4/6 of his pizza amounts to more pizza than 5/6 of Luis’s smaller pizza.

The question should have been “Marty ate 4/6 of a pizza and Luis ate 5/6 of a pizza. Explain who ate more pizza.”

That looks like my writing now, and I’m in my 30s.

A banana in the hand is worth a bird in bush.

Man, I might have to steal that for future platforms.

I thought I was losing my mind reading your comments.

I don’t think you meant it that way but it looks funny that you gave the average mid-westerner comment while also mentioning LA in response to San Jose.

Just for any actual avg midwesterners, San Jose is the same distance from LA as Chicago is from Cleveland. Or Indianapolis is from Pittsburg.

Carwashes are a decent choice of laundering business, but are also a business with remarkably low overhead. They are a popular choice of business for someone who wants to buy land and sit on it in a place they believe will become developed so they can sell it later. There is a large initial outlay for building the structure, but the actual machines and installation can cost less than buying a car. Upkeep is surprisingly simple and costs less than you probably think. The soaps and chemicals are dirt cheap and sold in 30-55gal quantities that last a month or more depending on traffic. The only real overhead if you aren’t getting customers is your mortgage and payroll, and you’d be paying a mortgage even if you just bought the land and did nothing with it. Not to mention touchless carwashes only require staff when there is a problem and any touch carwash can be run by a single person.

A more succinct explanation is that they are just an asshole.

First the trans people come for my energy, then they come for my trains? When will the madness end? Won’t someone think of the children!
