Depending on the country, the era, the hospital and the prevailing mentality and procedures followed by the medical staff there, it is a possibility your twin was not viable ex utero. The doctors might have hidden it away and then spun the tale that the twin had been absorbed to save your family the anguish and pain.
Why not let a newly-blessed family go home with their one happy, healthy child and none of the pain?
The alternative is that your twin is was viable but was stolen away to be raised by someone else. But that sort of thing usually only happens in TV melodramas.
There's a place I used to pass frequently that has an automated car wash at one side of the road and a manual car wash at the other. In the sense that they have staff there who do all the washing, cleaning and even detailing if you're willing to pay for it.
As far as I know they're not owned by the same people.
My own external 1TB HDD is old enough that it only has USB2 connectivity. It transfers at around 40MB/s. Maybe you're in the same situation?
I only transfer files of a few gigabytes to it every month or so, which I find bearable, but I'd be less happy if I was trying to move hundreds of gigabytes or the full drive contents on a regular basis. That would literally take hours.
Interesting. And yet it's still incomplete. F6 and Alt+D both do the same thing (focus the address bar), so there's at least one line missing and definitely at least one column.
This must seriously be messing with the heads of people high up in insurance companies. On the one hand AI is something that no C-level can resist, but on the other, that's an expensive way to say "no" to every request for money.
I've always just used gio trash (formerly gvfs-trash). KDE-based systems have something similar (but with syntax that's perfectly logical but completely unsuitable, in my opinion).
The third party trash package works in places the GUI and the aforementioned GUI-related command line tools may not. I can't tell whether this is a bug in trash or in the system tools, TBH.
For example, /tmp is one such directory where trash works but gio trash refuses.
Either way, the GUI Rubbish Bin won't keep track if things are deleted from such places by trash.
If I'm about to run an rm with a slash in it, alarm bells go off in my head. I prefer to cd to the parent and then rm whatever without slashes in the name.
That didn't save me the other day when I accidentally put a space before an asterisk, but thankfully that wasn't in a place that was overly important.
Gotta retrain myself to look out for extra nothing now.
I dunno, ~/bin is a fairly common thing in my experience, not that it ends up containing many actual binaries. (The system started it, miss, honest. A quarter of the things in my system's /bin are text based.)
~/etc is seriously weird though. Never seen that before. On Debians, most of the user copies of things in /etc usually end up under ~/.local/ or at ~/.filenamehere
In LMDE4, 5 and 6, I pretty much had to install the OEM NVIDIA driver because the open source Nouveau driver didn't quite cut it, but for AMD, the stock driver that comes with LMDE7 has worked fine for my purposes so far.
I may change my tune if I try to run a more modern game, but that will likely put me back in Frankendebian territory which caused me problems under LMDE6. (As you might surmise, I upgraded to new hardware and tried to do things as I'd always done them when LMDE6 was current.)
Minecraft notwithstanding, because it both is and isn't modern. That can get above 1000 FPS if I don't limit it.
Usenet then Slashdot and a forum on a website that no longer exists.
Once I got Internet at home, there were a few online chatrooms that were web based, but were basically IRC. It looks like one of those sites still exists, but if it's the same one I used (and Yahoo used as a proxy) it's not at the URL I used it at. Also either I've forgotten my details or I've been deleted (or it's a knock-off).
Then Digg, Reddit, Twitter and now the Fediverse.
Oh and throw Discord in there too somewhere towards the latter end.
Dishonourable mentions: MyYearbook and Tagged.com. The former was a bit like old-school MySpace, but it became a soulless dating site called MeetMe with none of the fun Flash games and chat. Tagged was basically a (surprisingly smut-free) user avatar trading site. Attractive people's pictures (usually women) could end up worth ridiculous sums of fake money. Like vigintillions of dollars kinds of ridiculous.
Now it seems that both are part of the same company, at least based on how the websites for MeetMe and Tagged look. Very glad I'm out of there.
Alt-text should be "Resistance is futile".
