You could watch the Canadian coverage: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/how-to-follow-2024-us-election-cbc-1.7368364

As a public broadcaster, CBC is less prone to sensationalism than its commercial counterparts (though it is not immune).

You mean Amal Clooney, the international Human Rights Lawyer? The adjunct professor of law at Columbia University? Advisor to the International Criminal Court? That Amal Clooney?

I loved Transformers when I was a kid. My parents never worried about putting food on the table but we didn't have a lot of disposable income, so I never had the Power Wheels or the Action Figures, or whatever when I was growing up.

Lone star tick bites can cause a condition called alpha-gal syndrome that makes you allergic to red meat.

The "store things in the recycle bin" people are the victims of a Lotus Notes-ism. The Trash folder in Notes was (is?) excluded from storage quotas, so some people started storing anything they wanted to keep there. Those people told other people to do the same without explaining why and it took on a life of its own as a technological fairy tale.

They probably meant append-only meaning existing entries can't be changed (for some value of "can't").

An article I read said they split a single salary.

Most shells ignore setuid on scripts for security reasons.

I visited a former coal mine that's now a museum. If you take a tour, you get a small piece of coal to keep at the end.
