The lack of logic is astounding.

These are the same people who think abstinence only education works. Safe to say they're a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Judging by the camera angle, OP may have been today years old when they learned this as well (I learned it well into my 30s, too).

Our first was a girl. Second was a boy. Third will be a vasectomy.

Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

With Windows, there is 1 current version of Windows (11), 1 "almost current" (10), 1 "outdated but you'll maybe see it" (8.x) and only a few "you'll probably only see this in obscure situations" versions. Linux has as many "parent" distros/package management systems (apt, rpm, pacman, etc.). This definitely complicates things, as each distro family does things slightly differently.

And we haven't even touched the window manager/DE choices, of which there are a ton (as opposed to Windows). "Combinatorical explosion" maybe isn't the right phrase, but you get the idea


Debian with i3wm is wildly different from Fedora Plasma.

This is all a good thing though, as Linux users tend to like the choice and flexibility


but it does mean that the "right way" to do something on Linux is very dependent on your particular setup, which isn't the case with Windows.

(I have used Linux for the last 20+ years, and it's definitely my preferred setup, and am lucky enough that I rarely use Windows for work, and never for personal use.)

My favorite is Barry Marshall. He thought there was a connection between bacteria and ulcers, which was an unpopular opinion at the time. So he intentionally drank the offending bacteria, got sick as expected, and then people believed him.

More here, including (which I didn't know until now) cardiac catheterization.

Innovation, perhaps; progress...that's something else.

People Without Honor Can’t Be Trusted.

Sounds like something Gowron would say...

Why the HUGE, irreconcilable disparity between your front page and the opinion section?

This is always how it goes, as it should. Horrible opinions shouldn't affect the reporting; and horrible reporting shouldn't affect the opinions. Different publication, but https://newsliteracy.wsj.com/news-opinion/

It's best IMHO to think of them as two completely separate entities.

Pretty sure that's completely acceptable in parts of northern California (source: born and raised in northern California).

I was writing up my problem set answers once, and it involved the (complex analysis) residue. I wasn't sure if there was a shortcut (as opposed to \mathrm); googling latex residue did not produce the search results I was hoping for...
