You must sacrifice a live Penguin by smashing a window with an apple.

meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom

The bare minimum is stop dead. The preferred is pull to the right, same as you would for a cop. And yes, be predictable. Nothing sudden or unexpected.

listening, and singing along, to Ke$ha.

wow, what a bastard he is

whats next, book burning??

Donald Trump's Presidency is the best version

I work for a well known internet company, and its 98% redhat (or derivative) with some alpine and ubuntu scattered about randomly

i see no difference between these pictures

please don't think that i am claiming any of this is fake, but isn't that also what a misinformation campaign would say?

I pirate because i want to own something. For example, if i buy a physical book or cd, its mine forever. i can make digital copies for myself to archive or enjoy on different devices, this is legal. if i pay the same price for a digital copy, i am buying the temporary privilege of enjoying the media in the format that they specify for thw time period that the seller has a license to distribute, before i understood this, i spent good money on digital goods that just went away, furthermore, i had bought books and tapes and cds that were destroyed by time, rain, a flood, etc. i feel i am just exercising my rights and getting what i am entitled to. and fuck the big companies that shit on the actual producers to make money copying bits and bytes.

this is one the most poorly written articles i have ever read

the topic is 'no stupid questions' and you are calling his question stupid. i think you are lost.

Power Delete Suite is amazing, and thank you to the wizard that made it!

yes i did. through mxtoolbox(iirc) i learned what blacklists my ip was on. and it wasnt my IP, but my ip block. it was just a matter of filing online requests to have my Ip removed from these lists. With google, i had to have a google account and login and pinky-swear that i would not send spam, and it got me off that list. google was really the most difficult to find info for. beware though, there are some places that say if you pay them, they will get you off the list. don't believe it. it is free or its a scam

so i think the deal here is that she is running external monitors so trump, at least, has his own view. maybe she got it to beef up the gpu for that?

why are they always Americans? if i ever travel abroad, I'm gonna say I'm Canadian. Heck, I'm already a Habs fan, I say 'eh' in conversation, and drink Tim Hortons coffee, I'm halfway there!

honestly, after atom died and vscode announced it would stop supporting mac, i knew i needed a change. i found i could replace 80% of it with tmux and vim plugins, and some bash tricks. so thats where i am now. it takes commitment for sure

they say that in the US too.

as someone who frequently must switch between mac/linux/win/etc, i have had no choice but to switch to 'natural' because the varied OSes point you that way now. i used to spend much time learning how to customize each and every setting, but it became more hassle than it was worth to just learn the new way.

there are many replies saying similar things, but don't be discouraged from try it out. i host my own with mailinabox on a vm from a cloud provider. no spam issues. the only wildcard was spending a few months getting my ip address off google's spam filters. it is so worth it, i own my own email/calendar/contacts/notes/todo list/ AND website solution. all with mailinabox. completely disconnected from google etc.

eli5, but isn't visual studio code a part of visual studio? or why is it not? or is this like a java/javascript thing where they are named similar because of popularity but have no codebase in common?

you'd think that, but they didn't say 'a jewish man' or 'a jew', or just 'a man', and they mentioned another American who did the same thing. So Nationality matters.

Like it really takes a conspiracy to show Americans are degenerate idiots...
