Organized religion.

Nothing comes even remotely close.

Well, to be honest the ruble has been sucking for a while:

However, it now sucks more.

Is Jethro a polydactyl? Seems like it from the picture. Also, his triangular face means he needs to put on weight, poor thing.

I'm not a Biden superfan either but I think people need to be aware of the reality. I have kids that don't feel like voting because "Biden does not excite them". While he doesn't excite me either, it's important to understand that not voting for Biden is essentially a step in the direction of the "other guy", which happens to me MUCH MUCH WORSE than Biden.

It's naive to think that you can go from a to z without going through b, c, d, etc... We don't vote for the ideal candidate, we vote for one that at least seems to be pointing in the right direction and has a chance to win.

Also remember that this whole "both sides are the same shit, so why vote" idea was spread around exactly to discourage people from voting. It's key to be mindful of that.

Man, I'm sad 😔.

I knew him personally (we worked for the same company at a point in time, although very different departments). I'm also a heavy vim user.

We once were in the same meeting where the unsuspecting meeting chair was taking nodes in emacs org-mode. Most of other meeting members were not geeks, so nobody knew who Bram was. I said "Bram, look at this, they're taking notes in emacs just to piss you off", to which he responded "yeah, and it is horrible...." 😁

Farewell and :wq

Ask around the table who has fast reflexes. Get a $10 bill, scrunch it a bit and put it on the table (a bit like a ball). Ask the person to position their hand some 4 inches above the bill, palm down. Then, position your hand much higher (1.5ft) also face down and bet that person that you can grab that bill before they do.

It's misleading because of the distance but if you're just normal fast by the time they react you'll already have the bill in your hands.

For command line sync to the cloud you can use rclone. It's FOSS and works with many different cloud providers.

For a constant sync experience you can use insync. It's closed source and requires a license though, but works reasonably well.

Sorry for the lack of direct links since I'm on the phone.

In fact most countries with names starting with "Democratic" or "People's" are not democratic at all..a true democratic country does not need to advertise it in its name.

Same goes for human titles like "Honorable" for instance.

I have some intelligent and caring friends and it boggles my mind how they still think Musk is a "net positive". Every day we hear some new example of his recklessness, support of extremist regimes, double standards and generally making the lives of people around him worse.

It seems that I'm seeing the same posts over and over again and I can't find where to hide them automatically. Is that even possible?

He probably has but Elon only uses the Tesla standard plug.

If they are so concerned about the privacy and lives of whistleblowers they should implement usernames (and multiple accounts) instead of forcing people to give their cell phone numbers to others.

The use of cell phones in an app supposedly made for dissidents and whistleblowers is the stupidest decision I've ever seen.
