  • No it doesn't. But yours dilutes a bit the complicity of most (all, maybe) other states, many of them directly. Without them they couldn't have done all this shit for these many years. They raised a very problematic pit bull, and when it mauls a bunch of babies the might go 'oh! No! That's very bad!' But tell the parent that the baby scared the dog, and the other parent shouldn't have approached so fast, while cuddling it. I also get your point, it very well might be that the dog cannot be rehabilitated. But states aren't really dogs, they're more like parasites to society. They may seem harmless or benign to a host when the conditions are right, but they can get super nasty in other context. But I agree that we should try to expel the parasite from the host whose life is in most danger first, even if at the cost of putting another parasite in its place. But sooner or later they all can become malign, even this much.

  • you should hate the israeli every state and oppose its existence

    There, ftfy.

  • We've had them for quite some time. They don't change price for individual customers, I don't think they change the price in the middle of the day either. But, I guess, they can change the prices just before opening, like if the wether service forecasts a rainy day they could rise the price of umbrellas and raincoats. Cold? Hot chocolate and soups. Hot? Ice cream and cold drinks. Certain asshole died overnight? Champaign and confetti cannons through the roof. And so on...

  • In Spain we've had those for years now, and prices are as stupidly high in the stores with paper ones...

  • What trade ya wanker?

    Since he started with the tariffs I've been trying to find a product labeled as 'Made in USA', no success so far. American brand tools are made here in the EU, Mexico, or China. Cars? No. Food? Nope.

    What about our products over there? Well, Spanish wine and olive oil are mainly labeled and sold as French and Italian, respectively, so...

  • As a Spaniard, no he doesn't. I can't help to loudly chuckle every time I see the press call him a 'Socialist' (not that I'm a commie either, mind you, but I'm not in a very different way than him) because the 'Spanish Worker's Socialist Party' (lol) would be even slightly to the right of the American DNC imho, their a monarchist party after all. This is just an (quite fortunately) easy political win, and a diversion from all the shit the PSOE, and Sánchez in particular, have right now in their hands.

  • U.S. abandoning leadership on the energy transition

    Uhm? How the fuck does one abandon something they never had??

  • If you have some fos licensed software it will be foss forever, that licence is a contract and doesn't go away. Now the author(s) of that code can license it to other people or release the newer versions with a different non-foss licence.

  • Knitting and crocheting? eMacs does have a package for everything...

  • Ive done it with dozens of boards (not pc boards tho, but basically the same: processors, memories, capacitors and transistors... just less expandable and much more expensive), but I've used an ultrasonic cleaner, I'm not sure just letting it soak is going to do the trick. It could even make it worse, the ipa can dissolve the liquid-ish part of the gunk (oils) and leave the solid residue once dried. If you don't have such a machine, they're not that pricy but you'd need a fairly big one so not cheap either, my advise would be to use a toothbrush.

    Some precautions: use 99.9% IPA, not any other alcohols and definitely not acetone. Take the whole thing apart. Take out any batteries off the boards. Most glues will be dissolved, which hasn't been a problem for me ever but if some of your parts aren't soldered, screwed, or fastened any other way they'll fall off. Let it dry very well, even help it a bit putting it in some warm place or using a hairdryer. As other have said thermal paste and pads will have to be replaced most likely. About the fans, I'm not sure, I've never done it. I've cleaned bigger motors, but those fans are cheaper to just replace than to service them unless it's a quick blowin' and dustin'.

  • They know their customers make unwise decisions. They got a bmw in the first place.

  • *Johnathan Tifa

    Edit: came back from the article, his second name is actually Jonathan lol. He must be the son of our former legendary leader Mary Ann Tifa.

  • In my city there are many stretches that run in the surface. The station I took when I was a kid gets veniced once a year or every other year when it pours and shuts the entire line or maybe just a chunk in the middle of it. It's very much affected by the wether, maybe a bit more than roads since they always set up an auxiliary bus line to cover any shut down.

  • No, I've read the whole comment. And I think it's wrong all of it. Of course we should build good, robust, and reliable public transport networks. But I think those shouldn't be oversized in excess. In this case I consider much more efficient to shut down or downsize the economy, than to prepare busses and trains, and rails and roads for events that doesn't happen that often. 'Sorry boss, the union has put out a message that today we aren't working.' is what it should be.

  • You cannot oversize the infrastructure for that 1% peak use. It's just not feasible. It's the 'mOaR trains/rails/busses...' instead of lanes. There isn't any efficient way of moving that much people around in that little time, imo the solution has to include distributing the use of the resources, like with wfh or even flexible schedules (honestly we should aim for just working less. We humans are doing and making too many things all the time...). What do you do with so many busses and trains just 30 min after the rush hour when almost no one rides it? I've seen those massive parking lots where the American yellow school busses lie the 99% of the time when they're not swarming all the roads, our current lots for busses and trains are quite big already I don't think they can be scaled that way. And then you have drivers and other workers...

  • Probably not the best in the world, but I would consider my city's public transit network way above the average for what I know. It's lovely most of the time, just not at rush hours when millions of people have to be moved at the same time, and specially in bad weather. I'm not sure what your standard for high quality is but I'd bet that even the best one gets overwhelmed in these situations and it's an absolute hell to ride as well.

    Edit: even though I think it is still good, It just came to mind that trains have been crashing as of lately in my country. So the quality could fall due to corruption and capitalism at any moment really...

  • That's one way of saying you haven't commuted by bus, train, or subway in your entire life, I guess.

  • Not the commenter you're asking, but I do consider the MIT licence a bad one for something like a core part of an OS. Not all FOSS licences are created equal, there're even important differences between the different GPLs (GPL2 is more permissive than GPL3, for example. With AGPL you have to grant the freedoms to the users even if the software is running out of your server, which isn't a thing with GPL2/3), and even the most permissive ones have a reason to exist, but I'm yet to hear (or read) a good one for these uutils, so I'm not touching any distro or project that uses these mit core utils with a ten foot pole.

  • As far as I know uutils has always been under an mit licence, hasn't it?
