This is just an irresponsible post.

Be careful putting matter and antimatter so close in a sentence.

You'll kill us all.

No. Money isn't energy. It can be created and destroyed. It is expended to survive. It doesn't remain static. Thus the amount 'lost' in the transfer will ve significant. Wealth from those dwindling inheritances will not come close to correcting this. The issue is is systematic. Tax the rich. Or observe the violent loop of history.

"Oh it's different this time bec.." K.

Also, I agree with you about the wealth concentration representation being lacking. This graph seems to have the goal of causing generations to yell at one another so they don't notice the rich are robbing them. Stated another way, in a room of ten starving people one person eats five sandwiches, the average person in the room had half of a sandwich.

Averages are used to lie to us all.

I feel like only one person calling you stupid isn't enough, so I'd like to add that this is one of the stupidest collections of words I have ever read.

I genuinely hope you make statements like this in your daily life. After all, the world needs humor.

When you have privilege, losing that privilege is perceived as persecution. We see a similar phenomenon with snowflake white males in the US spouting misinformation about what DEI is so that they can end it.

Fuck the genocidal state of Israel.

On CLI I figure out the command I need once.

Put it in a script.

Cron it if I want it to be daemonized.

Never think about it ever again.

Anti-CLI folks just have a bad workflow.

They see the script as the end, when in reality it's a foundation. I rarely look at my foundation. I build on it.

With this workflow I have dozens, hundreds, or thousand of automatic actions that "just work". Idk, works for me.

That said, if you prefer to click yourself to RSI to accomplish the same task, who am I to judge. I just watch and nod until I'm asked for a suggestion.

True, in the situation with a local history maybe it's worthwhile to --force to nuke an empty remote. In that case it is practical to do so. I just typically like to find non-force options.

There are multiple solutions to this without using --force.

Move the files, clone, unmove the files, commit, push being the most straightforward that I can summon at this time.. but I've solved this dozens of times and have never use --force.

I assume it's temporary, with the introduction of a new tech it takes time to set regulations and norms for it. That said, I disagree with this stance if it's permanent, but I'm not nearly as cynical about this as most of this chat section.

The X-Games is a sporting event where folks risk their lives for our amusement. So giving competitors a few years to learn if a new technology, a technology with different centers of gravity and moments of inertia, can behave in a predictable manner while performing aerial stunts is a reasonable stance from my perspective.

Otherwise people may rapidly adopt the new tech in competition which could result in bodily harm, battery breaches etc. After all, we aren't talking about just riding the bikes, but hurling them through the air and slamming them onto the ground. I see a real possibility of a breached battery (an extremely high energy bomb with fast and slow release potential) and an unconscious rider creating real harm.

I'm curious of others' views on this take.

Both perspectives are valid.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.

So I was thinking of silly things I've done that pseudo-broke my system, or made me think I had a broken system. Like the time I put the cmd :

exit

in my ~/.bash_aliases file and I had to open a text editor to fix it because that broke all the terminals on my machine.

I'm curious what other silly things users have done to confuse themselves.

 

I found this Python script a few years ago, it is simple enough that a non-programmer could understand 90% of it. I just remembered it had been running as a scheduled task all this time when I thought I had lost some saves.

Thought I'd post it here in case anyone can use it. Minor things are hard coded but they are few and easy to edit.
