Also using cat to review a script before running it. Cat by default will interpret ANSI escape codes and it’s possible to overwrite a line and hide it. Use the -v or -A option with cat to show the ANSI escape codes rather than interpret them. Or use less, vi, nano.

You said if you have a son then you should encourage them to kill themselves. That’s not a “little overboard”.

I think it’s worth saying that while not ionizing, high power high gain RF can cause damage via burns. Not sure how much power/gain is used in this situation though. Staying away from unfamiliar transmitting antennas is in general a good thing.

This is just the start of the Artemis program, so the flyby was just testing things and a few science missions flying past the moon farther than we have before. Future Artemis flights will land and stay on the moon for longer.

A pound of ground beef is now more than the US federal minimum wage.

+1 for cult of the lamb, that one was really fun. Actually, I’m going to have to start that one again tonight!

The umbrella one always cracks me up. Lookin at these wet fools in the rain when I’m nice and dry. Such a strange hill to die on.

123456. again that’s 123. 456.
