The English Language Wikipedia probably wouldn’t be hard, or Debian Stable.

All of Debian’s packages might be a tad more expensive, though.

I think that’s just wanting to join a gay primitivist(?) commune.

I, uh, don’t suppose you got room for a bi-curious peep?

So it’s more like “minimum required dependency versions”?

It’s more likely than you think.

Usually I’m willing to share more when I can tell a customer is engaging with me earnestly, and believe me when I say that I do strongly appreciate it. Feels like a pressure release, especially on busier days or when I’m on my own at the counter.

I’m gonna just go on a brief tirade here—

It’s probably just me, but I despise “how are you doing?” as a greeting.

To put this in context, I work in a customer-facing position, handling returns at a counter. When people come up to me and ask “how are you doing?”, 95% of the time they don’t actually care. And it bothers me in particular because I instinctively want to answer the question honestly, but a) that would result in me going into a non-trivial emotional ramble because of the… everything going on in the world right now, and b) being that open with a stranger is weird.

It’s why I’ve settled into using “fine, relatively” whenever I’m asked that question in a context that demands a terse response. It’s as honest as I can be, captures a decent range of emotions, and at the very least can get a rise out of people who aren’t expecting the standard “good” or “great” or “alright.”

As in, interpreting the Bible as metaphor?

I do think they’re more valid and I’m more willing to respect someone’s faith on that ground. I’ve considered it myself before, even, but my upbringing as a (now former) Roman Catholic has definitely colored my interpretation of it.

The moment I couldn’t square biblical inerrancy with the many contradictory (both mutually exclusive and self-contradictory) statements of the Bible.

Also, being very into astronomy and evolutionary science, which ran hard up against the stories of Creation.

yes pls

I think it’s because microwaves use, well, microwave radiation

It’s either a reference to an object instance, or the instance itself (depending on whether you specified &mut self, &self or just self).

I’ve always heard it as “PICNIC”

Problem In Chair, Not In Computer

Believe that can be credited to Adam Savage in particular.

It’s extremely difficult to control - even grazing an object the wrong way with your finger can end up breaking it into pieces. Giving someone a hug can easily end with you covered in blood from the person you just split in two.

Maybe because of the color_eyre rust wrapper?

And lithobreaking is technically a form of deceleration, but I wouldn’t exactly call it a safe way to land a rocket.

emacs

Y’know, massive respect for commiting to the bit. 10/10.

Libertarian has two different meanings, depending on who you talk two.

In the modern day, and unless they qualify it, “libertarianism = anarcho-capitalism”.

Classical libertarianism (sometimes left libertarianism, or libertarian socialism) is more akin to anarcho-syndicalism. Advocacy for ownership of the means of production via trade unions and the like, with the goal of obsoleting the state and capitalism, that kinda thing.

EDIT: Also, capital-L “Liberalism” in the US is more than a little bit of a departure from liberalism. It’s mostly evolved into a meaningless pejorative the far right uses against the center-left (and when I say that, I’m talking about center-left from an American perspective, so really more center-right)

Aw. I hate you too. ♥️
