There’s a reason songs like these exist:

Mississippi Goddam - Nina Simone

Here’s to the State of Mississippi - Phil Ochs

What’s Going On Down There - Malvina Reynolds

Nothing dirty. A five year old wouldn’t see anything dirty in the joke, they just wouldn’t get it.

Unless you’re cheap like me and buy the brush yourself.

Nope.

Fireplace is a mistake - it will make most of the house colder. What you want is a wood stove, and a simple metal chimney is much cheaper than the brick one you’re imagining.

Also, a shed isn’t needed - make a round pile (shaker pile or holzhauzen) and shingle it with the bark (or a tarp if you’re lazy). Drying takes 6-9 months, not a year, but I like not to be rushed so I try to keep two piles - one I’m building over the warm months, and when the cold months come I pull from the other that had a year to season.

As for space, they don’t take much. A 6’ tall cylinder with a 5’’ radius holds about 4 cords once the cone on top is taken into account. I find a 4’ radius easier to manage, but that’s closer to 2.5 cords.

Thinkpads are not what they once were. I finally gave up on them, moved over to a Framework, and haven’t regretted it.

I see you have yet to meetmy old friend Debian, who was supporting i386 until 2 weeks ago, and includes a much broader library of softwate than Microsoft has ever maintained.

No, the church supporters take a tax deduction that leads to everyone still footing the bill.

I’ve seen them used more often as rolling papers.

Daily driver here. Stable for servers, testing for workstations.

Debian Testing isn’t as stable as Stable, but has been far more reliable than anyone else’s desktop releases. I’m also not a fan of Fedora and others’ policy of ending support on the day of a new release.

If for some reason you decide to hold back on an upgrade of Testing, you’ve still got five years of patch support coming. And if I do want to live on the bleeding edge, there’s always Sid (also called Unstable). That’s where you’ll run into the kind of instability you can expect from a rolling release.

My favorite will probably always be Gentoo, but I don’t always have time for that hobby.

Higher frequency. So more trains/busses on the same route.

Guinea fowl even more so

Lack of ground contact also deters termites.

Not saying this applies to Sydney Sweeney, but:

In some places, you really can’t assume that registered republican means votes republican. What I mean by that is there are deep red counties in Florida and other deep red states where most local offices run unopposed, and the only way to have any say in who holds those offices is to vote in the closed republican primary. The only way to do that is register as republican.

Some people do that to mitigate damage, and then vote straight ticket against the republicans in the general election. This can be a useful tactic even in places where the democratic party is active enough to field candidates, but not enough to have two running in a primary.

In this case there are other signs and I don’t think we’re dealing with tactical registration, but it’s good to be aware of when judging people by their voter registration without knowing a lot about the local politics.

Longevity. Good headphones will have replaceable batteries, cheaper ones can still be opened up to replace them fairly easily. Batteries to fit most earbuds are much harder to source, even if you can open them up without completely destroying them.

If you do your research, a couple of earbuds use button cells that can be replaced with minimal soldering (particularly the Galaxy Buds).

Headphones often also come with a 3.5" removable plug, useful if you want to use them as a computer headset.

Earbuds are generally more acceptable in stores and other places where you need to interact with other people.

The argument may be that once the election is over these sorts of policies will get rolled back again, killing the effectiveness.

Apathy is absolutely the problem, but “just” getting out there and voting means replacing them with whatever new asshats the existing donor class selects for you. Actual change is going to require voting, and then getting back out there the next day (and every day thereafter) to hold their feet to the fire through direct action, strikes, organizing, protests, call campaigns, and every other tool at our disposal. Pretending otherwise is almost as much of a disservice as the "voting changes nothing argument.

That said, there is a way of not voting that DOES make a difference. Politicians DO pay attention to the differences between votes for various party members on the same ballot. So if you really can’t stomach voting for someone, voting for down (or up) ballot races and leaving that one office blank tells them their policies are unpopular with voting members of “their own” party - and that WILL scare them in a way that low turnout won’t.

And the ICJ didn’t dispute that. They said that the convention the case was brought under defines “financing” as money only, so supplying weapons and training camps doesn’t qualify as “financing”.

Off topic, but as a pen lover - those are lovely! Especially enjoyed the second two from the left.

You don’t need to run an X server on the headless server. As long as the libraries are compiled in to the client software (the GUI app), it will work. No GUI would need to be installed on the headless server, and the libraries are present in any common Linux distro already (and support would be compiled into a GUI-only app unless it was Wayland-only).

I agree that a GUI-only installer is a bad thing, but the parent was saying they didn’t know how it could be done. “ssh -X” (or -Y) is how.
