I like to believe that she emptied those bottles herself. Maybe Glenda helped a little.

That is the only time I see this abomination not getting instantly shredded. Nobody wants this on their desk, unless they put it in a folder for examples of what not to do.

I once did a house call over an hour away to turn on elderly couples monitor back on. Didn't feel good about giving them the bill.

Evaporative coolers can work great, also known as swamp coolers. Unless your humidity is already high, then they don't do much of anything. Unless I'm mistaken, you have to be around 50% to make a big difference in temperature, but where I live it's never below 70 in the summer, so I've never actually tried one. But the idea is cool.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/swap#Swap_file

I call them swap files but either is correct.

A swap partition is a part of your storage disk that is formatted for swap use. It could also be it's own disk for high performance systems, but mostly for HPC.

A swap file is basically an empty disk image file that you mount as swap, the OS will use it just like a swap partition.

I prefer swap files because I find them easier to manage. I can easily delete, move, or enlarge the swap file whereas the partition will take a bit more work and is a bit riskier to change. Changing partition layouts can get very messy.

I always recommend a swap file be created when setting up a new Linux machine, even if you have loads of RAM. Some applications will use swap space to help performance, but I also like the fact that if I do something really dumb and fill up the root partition I can delete my swap file to free up space immediately, fix the full disk problem, and then recreate the swap file.

And honestly I think that's ok, and an acceptable reason to leave him out. Tom really would be difficult to do justice on the big screen, and might confuse the majority of people that didn't read the books first.

At one time Phillips was a well respected brand. Their domestic appliances division was acquired by Hillhouse, the same private equity firm that partially owns Tencent and Zoom. I'm not sure if they also manufacturer the sleep machines but after being a Hue and Norelco customer for years I won't give them another dime.

I cannot think of anything more French than this.
