Progressive relaxation. Seriously.

Nah. Mountain lion.

Troy McClure, is that you?

Communities or “comms”. Reddit would be quick to legal action if someone started using their trademarks.

Absolutely. We need anti-trust laws to be un-Borked among other anti-monopolist measures. Not as a way to workaround the shortcomings of unfettered capitalism but because it’s the right thing for humanity.

The guitar binary has a dependency on the curser package which is a deprecated version of cursor with an accidental misspelling. Running the make with sudo replaced this at the system level. Best just to reinstall.

…I’m left with a strong inconclusive as to whether it’s possible :(

Possible, yes. Possible with current technology and understanding, no.

The methylation of DNA and other ways that its functionality is modified is something that is studied in epigenetics. Such modifications can also be carriers of heritable traits (ex. a study on Icelandic families found that experiencing famine could change the likelihood of diabetes two generations later). Modifying methylation has also been investigated for treatment of genetic diseases.

Conceivably, epigenome editing could be used to modify the sperm/egg methylation to make them compatible. But, that’s probably a ways a way from being practical.

Trackball/trackpoint built into the Svalboard.

> sudo make guitar

Oh no. Do not build guitar as root.

Finland was no NATO and not even the USSR touch it.

If you omit the middle of the 20th century, sure. The Finns declared independence from the Russian Empire in 1917, under the approval of the Bolsheviks’ Declaration of the Rights of the Peoples of Russia. In 1934, Finland and the USSR reaffirmed a non-aggression pact for 10 years. In 1939, after penning a deal with Hitler to carve up Europe between the Nazis and the USSR, Stalin demanded that Finland, who had maintained a stance of neutrality, cede territory for military use and, when they refused, ordered shelling and invasion.

Neutrality or even open trade did not prevent the USSR from invading then, not did handing over nukes save Ukraine from invasion in 2014.

I’ll pass.

They’ll still haven’t rolled out FtH Internet here. It’s a coin flip sometimes as to whether PSN will let me stream games or boot for like bandwidth.

If based on reality, I’m sorry to hear it and how it gets better soon. As a Linux user for over a decade, this is extremely funny.

Now, have you heard of Plan9 from Bell Labs?.. /s

This is why. Kroger is terrible but Walmart is worse.

Quick question for those more in the know: Have these events disrupted IA’s ability to archive pages? I ask because I was recently talking with a security guy about a novel malware that used a hacked webpage for command injection. One possible motive that came to mind, if the archiving was disrupted would be to cover tracks for a similar malware. Inject code, perform malicious activity, revert, then, there’s more time before the control code is discovered.

Yeah. This ones actively want to end democracy and replace it with neo-feudalism (with them as kings, obviously).

You’re not wrong. Best case would be finding a labor-friendly judge and that would likely get appealed to the USSC, comprised of conservatives and neoliberals, would almost inevitably rule that labor protections only apply to those whose net with is in the top 5%.

So admitting that it’s constructive dismissal?

I’m sure that will go about as well as when they broke up Microsoft.

Yeah… This is an intentionally misleading study by a neoliberal think-tank that takes money from major anti-union corpos, the MIC, and investment bankers. Trying to sweep half a century of workers losing out behind fudged numbers to make it seem like wealth and income inequality, not to mention unfettered price-gouging isn’t the problem that reality says it is.
