Not at all the statement of a moron: in colloquial usage yeah, salt is sodium chloride, but in in a chemistry setting it is not just sodium chloride. In this case it probably has potassium chloride


a sodium-free salt.

But the most expensive gear isn't necessarily more dangerous than the entry level gear, and in some cases, may even be safer.

...but was it the "Windows Uninstall" button...or the "format /dev/sda1 as ext4" button?

California has optional mail ballots for everyone. Can't imagine voting without it


I can fill out my ballot at my leisure, researching measures when I have time. No need to remember anything or make a cheat sheet for election day. And no standing in line.

And probably Ted Nugent.

Just don't try plugging it into a Raspberry Pi 5.

No data loss, but won't work without changing your kernel. The other way around is much worse though


you can use an RPi5 to make a BTRFS drive which essentially only works on RPi5s.

I think (?) it's generally true that the root user should never mess with users' files.

Imagine your home directory is shared across many systems on a network (my alma mater did this). It would be really bad if a sysadmin for alpha.university.edu removed a program, and suddenly your personal settings were removed from beta.university.edu


even though that computer still has the program.

This is one of the "UNIX on the desktop" issues


a lot is designed for a sysadmin/multiuser situation, and it has some gotchas when using it as a desktop machine (I'm used to/really appreciate the directory structure and settings management at this point, but it may take some getting used to).

I think he didn't really get that "Picard gets a neurological link to the Borg" == "not good"...

So I hate to tell you this, but I'm pretty sure Robert Picardo is a hologram...

They're just popular ETFs which contain a lot of $AAPL. I was just commenting that even if someone doesn't explicitly hold any $AAPL, if they own ETFs/mutual funds, they are likely exposed to $AAPL.

Doesn't apply to you though since you said you don't own any stock :)
