For me, the issue is not being alone, or quiet. I don't even own a cell phone. It's everyone else with the incessant noise; non-stop music; speaker/video calls; and now AI talking back to you via phone. Speakerphones are th

It's been a long, long time. I think Red Hat 8/9 (from 2002-2003) had a default KDE build. Even in Fedora Core 1 Gnome was default. Now, there's a separate build to download for KDE. It's likely because Gnome is defau

It's been well known for awhile now that it's his preferred setup. He seems to want as much stability as possible; while being as minimal as possible; with as little fuss to install and keep up to date as possible. Fedora meets t

There is a media difference though since the DCA crash. Military and small planes (<10 PAX) crash all the time. We just never heard about it until after January. My point is the same, media sees crash, tries to drive clickage. On a per

No, it's not worse. If you look through the list of deadly plane accidents, the last year has been average (4 vs. 3 avg). Since the deadly DCA collision in January, there are things making the news now that would never have in the pas

And there were 7 in one year during 2018 and 2019. Looking through the chart you linked, averages around 3 per year. Considering how many planes are currently in the sky at this very moment, this is a wildly useless statistic used to cause

I mentioned this in another parent comment: Tunhannock doesn't even need a bond, they can easily pay for it just with what the town has made from gas extraction in the last 15 years.

As a Pennsylvanian with a personal connection to the school district in the article, there are several things not mentioned that are critical to this conversation: 1. Tunhannock is in a prime area for Marcellus shale natural gas extraction.

There are still plenty of reasons to use X11, mostly for software that doesn't support Wayland yet.

First thing I thought of too when I saw he died. Homer's random knowledge of Supreme Court Justices mentioned throughout the years never ceases to amaze me.

There was one point I was trying to make, you said there are no locations currently near you, I posted three, plus mobile units. There is also no selection bias. I said that in the 90's there were several near West Chester and KoP. Yo

Not to be snarky, but I grew up in ChesCo, and could've sworn there were donation centers way back even in the 90's, near KoP and West Chester. https://www.giveapint.org/ Locations in Pottstown/Exton, plus St

Where at? Where I live in Pennsylvania, and not the most populated of areas, there are at least 3 groups open all the time for donations (two local Hospital systems and the regional Blood Bank). Plus, there are no less then three mobile bl

Please keep in mind, these lists are usually completely arbitrary and have very loose definitions of "school shootings", based around the usual theatrics of security and terror theater. Some examples that have been on these lists

I agree. Subaru did have them for a bit in the early-mid-2000's. I had it in our 05 Forester. Stock radio. Our 2011 Outback and my mother-in-law's 2017 Forester lacks it though. No clue why they removed it. It was wonderful g

This was fascinating and lead me down the "Oldest Companies" Wikipedia. However, I was watching the second video linked in the article made by Endevr and it just sounds like it was made by and read by ChatGPT. The pauses are off

For non-Americans (and Americans) that don't quite understand what SSN is and why it's a problem, CGP Grey [1] has a great (and short) video about the history and why it's not technically an identifier, but has become one. [1

If they have your address; birthday; and SSN a whole lot. Generally, they could apply for credit cards; loans; set something to bill to you; etc... Fortunately, it's getting harder without previous addresses or other verification meth

Yeah, I thought so too (since they're only moving from COS signed to RH signed), but it's hard to describe. I've had everything from proxy issues; to python; to PHP-fpm breaking after the upgrade. It's just a constant

I'm always amazed and envious at how many successes people have had with the conversions. This has been a huge problem for me and I only have just about 75 boxes. Only about 15 or so have been converted successfully to RHEL 7.9 since

Well, the butter is a different size (about half of US/CA size). When adjusted for that, it's very nearly the same as US prices. The other problem with these kinds of comparisons is size of country and if the average cost of a pr

This is not a normal human, less then probably .5% of 340 million Americans are like this. It's called being an attention-whore and hoping to strike it big by filming a non-controversy and making it into one on Tik-Tok. You can thank s

Eastern PA, Upper West Coast is what I've typically learned it's called. Interchangeable with Northwest Coast. To be fair, it's also normal to say redup; youse; jawns; werter; hoagie. Regional dialects are nuts.
