Epstein’s “day job” was being a socialite.
…
because he was the guy who knew everybody in a position of power, his network shows who has the power.
Exactly. He was actively seeking out wealthy and influential people to add to his circle of influence.
When I wrote this, the Middle Eastern conflict wasn’t happening,"
So, he wrote it long before any of us were born?
The US doesn’t need any of Trump’s fucked up vanity projects, but they seem content to allow him to do it anyway.
Sail the seas matey.
It has always been a better “customer experience” than being an actual customer.
Without looking into this specific outage, I’d suggest things like deferred maintenance and “cost optimizing” technical staffing are often contributing factors. (At least in my experience)
I didn’t claim I had a hundred of them going at any give time.
And, regardless, I also don’t keep them open forever. I just close the one I’m finished with, check out the next one, then repeat until I’m through with them.
Why not just close them and open them back up later?
Because that’s extra steps for no actual improvement.
I close the tabs that I’m done with and add new ones when I want to not forget to look at something a bit later.
That doesn’t need the “permanence” of a bookmark. (And, obviously I know editing bookmarks is a thing, but that is also extra steps for something I’ll only want once in about 15 min from now)
To be fair, it’s never DNS ;]
Sometimes it’s BGP.
For the sake of argument, what would you call a seat that was not next to the aisle?
Cabin view.
If it is a cheat sheet as in commands
With most modern distros, I would say that most typical users shouldn’t have to go to the command line any more than they had to in windows (which is to say very seldom).
Yet there is that lingering reputation that you have to be some sort of command line guru to even think about using Linux- and that simply isn’t true. Hasn’t been true for decades.
back then, I thought it was some scary OS for people who’s tech savvy
That “too hard, too scary” reputation is a big part of what has held back linux adoption.
But when people actually give it a try, most realize that reputation isn’t really true.
That’s the beauty of Linux- there are so many distros to choose from.
Something for everyone.
And if enough people don’t like the existing options, you are always free to fork what exists and make something that fits your needs better.
Powerline adapters are almost always a “last resort” option.
It’s always possible, but not often practical, especially when you don’t have permission to drill holes in those concrete walls.
I suppose you could do surface runs, but those are ugly and more vulnerable to physical damage.
The fascists in other countries are taking notes after seeing how easily Trump and the MAGAts are managing to get away with this bullshit.
The rest of us need to wake the fuck up and push back agaist thw faccists before it gets too late in our countries.
STOP POSTING PICTURES OF YOUR CHILDREN ON THE INTERNET.
Stop using Facebook/Instagram.
Don’t use Facebook.
What wording would you have them use?
Is there a name for the next step beyond perverse incentives?
Because that’s where we are now.
The American example is proving to be a bit of a wakeup call for the more passively progressive people in my country.
