I don't understand why this is being downvoted. I would love if metric were used universally, but I don't really see any difference between that and wanting a single language to be used universally. In fact, the cost of different

I have always been very careful with git histories and often rewrite/squash them before final review/merge. Often my rewritten histories have nothing to do with the original history and commits are logically/intuitively separ

Identification often isn't ever checked when flying within Europe _today_. They just check your ticket. That said you're certainly not getting near any gates without a ticket in Europe these days either.

The fact that it's still used in many places obviously means it's not unbearable. Besides if you're bothered by the dust you can use the water cleaning methods described in this very thread. It's not perfect, but I would

I enjoy using chalkboards so much more than whiteboards. Other than the chalk dust, I just can't understand how anyone would prefer whiteboards over chalkboards.

The irony is that if Tylenol use in pregnancy actually does increase the risk of autism, RFK's destruction of trust in the government's scientific process will probably just push that sort result back. He's a charlatan and to

I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but this is a quote from the European Commission itself: > The political agreement of 27 July 2025 is not legally binding. Beyond taking the immediate actions committed, the E

Then I think you just don't have much imagination. I have recovered files in /tmp after turning off a machine by booting it back up in single-user mode and accessing the data before it would be cleared in during bootup. Given that

I can't speak for the other poster, but I like the idea a lot. Having tools with specific purposes means I can avoid using my phone for everything. No matter what games I play to remove notifications/interruptions/etc. it&#x2

Why would this post be flagged? It could of course just be automatic due to disingenuous flagging by users, but any administrator could see there is no reason to flag this and then unflag it afterwards.

Reading through Kent Overstreet's comments, it seems totally correct to kick bcachefs out of the kernel. His comments demonstrate very clearly that he's not able to work under the constraints of the current kernel development proc

I'm pretty sure we've actually known this since time immemorial. Property, contract, etc. are all legal constructs. Talking about free markets (or whatever approximation to "free" is meant by that) without laws and regul

The presidency is only legally afforded some powers. The issue here isn't Trump's fulfilling of campaign promises. The issue here is if Trump is following the law while doing so.

"Apparently..." would have been the perfect way to describe my reaction. I didn't realize that "cover me" meant "lay down suppressing fire" to Marines. I guess it makes sense, but that's not the meani

> "Go out and talk to people" isn't valid advice. It's never been, but in 2025 finally even the mainstream is slowly admitting that this doesn't work. It continues to work for me in 2025.

So you do think that Texas Christian University should lose all federal funding until it proportionally represents all Americans' political beliefs?

> I don't want this money going to random causes I disagree with. There certainly is _no_ government spending supported by _all_ Americans, so your position isn't a very practical approach to governance.

Are you arguing that _all_ universities that receive government funding should cater equally to conservatives and liberals? Given that Texas Christian University receives funding from the government, would you argue that it too should stop

How do you deal with this practically? If an American moved to the UK now (after April 6th of this year), how would you recommend dealing with it? Even if your answer is to get a tax accountant, do you recommend doing that early?

Maybe Loch wouldn't have minded? I'm not religious, but I don't really care if I were memorialized with a religious service. My belief is that service is more for the people left behind than the one who died anyway.

I'm pretty sure no NATO countries actually consider the US a dependable ally at the moment. So US spending is kind of irrelevant really. And if the US were to actively work against its NATO allies (seems pretty likely at this point), U
