While I will definitely get an Elmer Fudd reference, I won’t really identify with it. It was already an outdated culture while I was growing up. It was the cartoon I watched when I didn’t have other cartoons to watch.
Basically, my father would make jokes about being “vewy vewy quiet” because we were hunting “wabbits”. I knew what he was talking about, and appreciated the humor, but it wasn’t my humor.
Saw it, yeah. But it never really hit with me as something I identify with. I saw tons of things made before I was born, but things that came out after I was completely conscious of storytelling resonate differently.
ET doesn’t do anything for me in this meme. It might as well be Elmer Fudd.
If you think the average person can understand what it is like to give up ultimate control of your life in 6-year chunks, I have some bad news for you.
People in the military are bound by law to do whatever is necessary for the mission regardless of the cost to them. For over 20 years, I lived moment to moment assuming that with no notice, I could be sent to the other side of the globe without my immediate family. During my time in, I was deployed to a remote country, in a war zone, with no notice, while my wife dealt with the consequences. During that time, I had very limited contact with my spouse, and what time I did have was regularly interrupted with literal attacks that could have killed me.
Beyond my experience there, my spouse had to deal with the fact that I would occasionally just leave in the middle of a call, because rocket attack.
So, pardon me if I am skeptical of your claim that most people can understand that I now drive past litter on the side of the road cautiously because it might be a bomb. And that is just the start of the weird differences I have experienced transitioning from military life into being a civilian.
As a deployment manager that made dog tags for a few years, we didn’t care. Jedi, Pastafarian, Dudist, whatever. You are doing your country a service that most people can’t really comprehend. I’ll put whatever you want in that section as long as the other stuff that actually matters is correct.
I worked on a green missile system. This is very accurate
I don’t really see how that is better than the count to 1035 that you get from binary though.
KDE connect all the way. Runs on Linux, Android, and Windows (I think). Good way to share files, notifications, and clipboard.
I mean, I take giving someone a less than honorable discharge so they can stand trial in a civilian court where they got a forty year sentence as more than “Jack shit”…
And he was discharged, tried for murder and sentenced to over 40 years in jail.
What do you think should have been done by the military unit that would have made this better?
Every org is going to have extremists, but you are talking about a former military member that was discharged with a less than honorable discharge, who then committed and was sentenced for murder.
What do you think the AFB should have done here?
Just as a heads up, but if you did enjoy the Princess Bride, the book/Audio book “As You Wish” is legitimately delightful.
A good amount of the cast get together to talk about all the interesting things that went into making the movie.
Hence why I went with “simply charge for the OS”. They are moving from monetizing the software to monetizing the user.
But yes, red line must go up
It pretty much comes down to wanting to monetize the user experience instead of simply wanting to charge for the OS in the traditional way. The user becomes the commodity instead of the software.
That is a bit of a selection bias. What you are effectively saying is “the biblical names that have survived to today have staying power”.
But even that isn’t true here as almost all of the names you cite are significantly different now than their original forms. Looking at your list we have Yeshua, Shemuel, Mikael, Rivka, Yohanan, Miriam, and Paulus. Adam is mostly the same, as is David (with a bit of an accent difference), but the rest didn’t exactly emerge as they were.
My understanding is that it is working much better now than a few months ago. I haven’t actually put it to the test yet, but it is on my list of things to try once I have time to set up my index again.
There is no current game I want to play that doesn’t run on Linux. Valve really has done an amazing job with proton and getting games to work as well or better on Linux.
Now, that said, I am not big into competitive multiplayer, so take that into account. Anti cheat is still a problem since most of the current ones need permissions that are not normally given on Linux.
Well it was about that time I realized this judge was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the plethazoic era.
This is a bit late for a response, but it has to do with what protections are afforded by what entity. The US has very explicit treaties signed with allied nations. Canada, for instance is a five eye partner and thus has far less to worry about from the US than it does from China.
Additionally, China has an ongoing bad track record with how it treats other nations. Commercial entities within China are far more at the whim of the state government and are required to act in alignment with the CCP instructions.
People treat China differently because China is different. They very much are a different beast when it comes to authoritarian control of its commercial and private entries.
