There’s lots of woke stuff in the OT too. The above passage is from the OT. Entire chapters are dedicated to describing an economic system where capital can only be gained temporarily, then it reverts to the original owners’ family in Jubilee years. AFAIK it was never actually implemented though.

Same. I was so hyped for the hardware, but the games never came. I guess it’s because Sony went all-in on live service games that ended up getting cancelled instead of backing lots of single player games like they traditionally had. Steam Deck took my PS5’s place and eventually even got me into PC gaming to play what my Deck couldn’t — and PC gaming on Linux at that. I doubt I will buy any future PlayStations now, not after how this generation went. There hasn’t been a single PS5 game that I wanted to play that hasn’t come to PC anyway. Like you said, can’t beat the catalog. Plus modding capability and backwards compatibility.

I can’t imagine what it’s like to care what round a sportsballer gets drafted in

What? No. No, dawg, no. Ignorance isn’t a virtue. Knowledge and expertise are something to be proud of.

SIEL

What does this even mean, “a world without shells”? What is running inside this newfangled terminal if not a shell?

Yeah, exactly my thoughts. At retirement age, most or all your investments should be low risk.

And make sure to use enough vermouth! None of this “wave the vermouth bottle near the shaker” nonsense. A martini should be about 1/4 vermouth as a starting point.

Seriously, why didn’t they stick his arm through one of those portals and then close it? Wouldn’t that sever the arm and separate Thanos far from the gems?

It’s for work only, no gaming. I have a Steam Deck and a Linux desktop for gaming.

My hardware refresh came up this year. I asked for a MacBook instead of a windows laptop for the first time in my long career. Linux isn’t an option at my org yet.

This has the stench of junior engineer all over it. This rewrite will go way over budget and come limping across the finish line late, with more bugs and less features than the system it replaces. I guarantee it.

Wake up babe, Reefer Madness 2 is about to drop

Re: length of commands, PS commands are longer, but they also have tab completion so realistically you never type the whole thing, only enough to be unambiguous and press tab. I’ll grant it’s still longer than the equivalent bash, but not by as much as it appears.

Yes, but the alternative is not problem-free either. There are no easy answers here, but I don’t think the current situation is ideal.

I believe it isn’t really the people; it’s the mental illness or addiction that keeps them from accepting help. Every chronically homeless person I’ve met is one, the other, or both. While I understand it’s tempting to think that we should let them decide whether to accept help or not, I don’t think that worldview takes into account that you’re talking about people that are actually incapable of making decisions in their own best interests. I personally think it’s inhumane that they are not taken into protective custody and allowed to live in dignity.

Pathetic

Not exactly, but chronically homeless people would rather be homeless than stop doing the things that caused their homelessness in the first place. The ones who really did just have bad luck tend to bounce back with the assistance available to them fairly quickly, never to be seen again by me.

Source: firsthand knowledge serving the homeless and trying to get them to help themselves.

Thanks for the added context. If they did intentionally delay prosecution (plausible considering how much time they had to do it but didn’t) then that’s pretty hard to excuse regardless of the reason.

Do we have proof or is this conjecture that fits what we can observe?
