Well, OP only specified that they’d been using Linux for about a decade; no mention of their laptops not being from the early 90s. :)

Whatever nebulous issues one or the other may or may not have had, my personal experience is that startpage (from my understanding, basically privacy’d google) provides higher quality search results than DDG (fmu, basically privacy’d bing).

Great operating system, that. Shame it lacks a text editor.

I think that’s called grayjay.

Astronomers would notice immediately, as the stars would be in very wrong positions. The IAU is the primary reason why IT people have to hack around leap seconds.

There are people coming from Windows, which does not have dd.

What the vast majority of people would probably think of when they hear the word ‘fire’ is actually flames; flames are quite simply particles emitting light.

For an everyday example, take a campfire: The wood logs you see burning are at such a high temperature that they give off methanol (and other flammable chemicals), which is most of what’s burning. Apart from the methanol being driven off of the wood, there will be other chemical compounds and/or larger clumps of more-or-less-burned wood that will be carried off. These larger clumps in particular, while very small, are nonetheless large and hot enough to start emitting light in the visual spectrum. This is essentially what a flame is: Particles emitting light.

Fire in and of itself is quite simply rapid oxidation in the presence of oxygen.

The above is, arguably, a gross oversimplification.

TLDR: Flames are particles, fire is combustion.

It’s worse than that, the first safety inspection is after four years, not six.

It doesn’t matter.

It REALLY doesn’t matter.

Best way I saw it expressed: If you did something that was NOT a nazi salute, but other people perceived it as a nazi salute, you would IMMEDIATELY apologise and walk it back. Given that Muskolini has not done that, he did indeed do a nazi salute.

Here’s one for less than 4 USD. I imagine 150 mm in length would be sufficient.

They know about it; doesn’t mean they actually did anything to counter it.

The issue is not ammonia (at least not when it comes to urine) but rather urea, which also reacts with hypochlorite to create chloramines.

Kubuntu on my desktop, I prefer KDE as a DE and I’m used to the Debian ecosystem.

Linux Mint on my relatively low powered laptop that I rarely use.

Debian stable on my media server.

Also, impeachment. One would like to think that even today, a president-through-killing-the-president-while-being-vice-president would be impeached and removed by congress, but who knows.

I’m a man and I pee sitting down because:

it’s more comfortable

Agreed, I will generally sit down.

It’s solely a matter of comfort and/or convenience:

• No. 2: Toilet (obviously, I hope).
• No. 1 on the road or at the pub: Urinal or standing elsewhere.
• No. 1 otherwise: sit down and relax.

Thank you for the corrections, I think I maybe skimmed the text back when it went through the EP, so I was mostly going from (poor) memory.
