My fishbone antenna and local VHF/UHF stations are positively offended at not being called the “traditional” TV. Now get off my lawn!!!

Yes, Brio scale, not Brio brand.

Definitely coordinate with the parents, not only to find what your nephew’s interests are but also so no gifts are duplicated.

If they don’t have advice or you can’t ask for some reason, Brio scale trains, construction equipment, emergency vehicles, dinosaurs and generic toys are usually a good bet, they don’t usually understand or care about brand names or franchises yet.

can u burn a luigi board?

Can you just make some symlinks in usr/lib and usr/include? Or am I just not understanding the problem correctly?

Domains have restrictions based on the rules of their registrar, that may be mandated by the government of the associated country.

Some old examples are .gov, .mil, .edu. - I believe that only US Government entities can register with .gov - Not just federal entities but also state and local entities. For example. https://www.sf.gov/ is the San Franscisco City Government site. I’ve also seen things like https://abcab.ca.gov/ that actually use the hierarchy that was originally intended to exist in domain names. Similarly, .mil is for US military organizations.

.edu must be an accredited institution located in the United States, for example https://harvard.edu/.

If you’re in the United Kingdom, you can get a .uk domain, and there appear to be special subdomains with specific use, for example, colleges and universities are .ac.uk, although I don’t know the specific details

.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz are all free-for-alls and no one cares if a commercial entity registers a .org or vice-versa.

Trust any information you find on the internet as much as you trust the author. If you don’t know personally know the author, well, then, how much do you trust random strangers on the street handing you fliers?

I don’t need pubic har in my face.

Speak for yourself.

Doctors in the US never ever prescribe herbs or supplements. On rare occasions when you have a legitimate vitamin deficiency, verified by blood work, they will prescribe medical grade vitamin tablets, from a pharmacy that has actually tested the vitamin content of the product. Vitamin D deficiency is quite common, and while rare, scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) can happen if someone is malnourished.

My doctor has told me on more that one occasion that herbal supplements are completely unregulated, many don’t contain even a bit of the claimed herb, and sometimes have legitimately harmful plants mixed in, as if someone just gathered a bunch of weeds, dried and ground them up.

1. There is always some level of distrust of secretive organizations like the NSA/FBI/CIA/
2. Usually it’s the previous gen / obsolete tech filters out of them, because they do want people to protect themselves a bit. I’d almost guarantee they have better / more advanced tools they aren’t sharing.

if by “most” you mean “a scant few applications that can’t tolerate it” then sure. US to Germany pings are currently ~120ms. Not many things that can’t tolerate 500ms outside of gaming.

And there’s your problem. You’re echoing using double quotes which will interpret characters. Don’t do that. That’s a bug. cat or cp the file to the destination; printf if the contents are all in that variable.

Here’s what I’m reading:

startup-script line 27 threw the error.

I’m reading this and interpreting that line 27 of that script is

sudo echo "# FYI quotes(") must be escaped with \ like \"

I am confused why there is no trailing double quote, the last 3 chars should be \"" so perhaps this is a bad assumption but the best I can do with the available information.

So the fix here is to change startup-script line 27 so that you’re not echoing things that might contain characters that might be interpreted by echo or your shell.

Now if startup-script is provided by your distro, there may be a reason that it’s using echo, but I will tell you now whatever dipshit reason they provide they’re fucking wrong because EXHIBIT A: # " fucks the script and rule 0 of linux is “don’t break userspace”.

Everything else allows any printable char after the # in a comment, that script is not special, comments are not to be interpreted by the program. That is a show-stopping bug in startup-script and must be fixed.

EOF

i think the real error was that you started the echo with a double quote and ended with a single quote. had you properly wrapped it with single quotes it would have worked. even if you had escaped the double quote, there still would have been an error because you’d have a multi-line string with no ending " (the 2nd double quote was properly escaped so that would not have terminated your string)

Also, you didn’t escape your slashes.

Either it should have looked like this:

echo '# FYI quotes(") must be escaped with \ like \"'

or this:

echo "# FYI quotes(\") must be escaped with \\ like \\\""

From the Intrusive Thoughts Wikipedia Page:

Many people experience the type of negative and uncomfortable thoughts that people with more intrusive thoughts experience, but most people can dismiss these thoughts.[7] For most people, intrusive thoughts are a “fleeting annoyance”.[8] Psychologist Stanley Rachman presented a questionnaire to healthy college students and found that virtually all said they had these thoughts from time to time, including thoughts of sexual violence, sexual punishment, “unnatural” sex acts, painful sexual practices, blasphemous or obscene images, thoughts of harming elderly people or someone close to them, violence against animals or towards children, and impulsive or abusive outbursts or utterances.[9] Such thoughts are universal among humans, and have “almost certainly always been a part of the human condition”.

I can’t say for sure but it sounds like a Ponzi scheme. You get some investors. You lie on paper that they’re making lots of money. If anybody wants to withdraw, you give them the money from other investors to make it look like anybody can withdraw whenever they want. But there isn’t enough to cover all of the withdrawals because you’ve lied about the profits. Then you get more investors. And more investors. You promise if they keep their money in your investment a long time they will make way more than the initial withdrawers. They were silly to sell when everyone is still making so much money. As long as investors continue to add money to the pool you can pay off the few people who want to withdraw. At some point it becomes untenable to pay everyone off and continue to look legitimate and so you just withdraw all the money and run.

Yes, there are certainly people who could help. I’d suggest finding them and asking them for assistance.
