Remember on that primary debate stage, when Tulsi called her BS out? That was THE moment to treasure. Kamala was the first to drop out, and the least liked back then.

I have had corrupt filesystem errors with BTRFS on both of my computers due to power outages and one hard shutdown (had to), that was the end of it. I will stick to ext4, a log file system that is more stable. Used ext4 for YEARS (I am old) and never had these issues with such frequency. Stick to what is hardened and solid, BTRFS is still under development. The fanboys love to use it as the next best thing, and it does have some nice features, but stability is not one of them, at least in these type of situations.

You forget most of what you learn if your memory muscle is not flexed regularly, especially on complex math equations and the like, so I would say it is useless for those that fall into this category.

Oh I know, but that is a republican label for the left they pull out of their bag. I remember her when she was major of San Francisco, lived there at the time, another neo-liberal politician. CA is a breeding ground for them.

Nowhere in the meme did it suggest removing it from the education system. It still doesn't mean it is useful for most people, outside of niche fields. The two things can both be true.

Heed the 'downside' of using btrfs carefully before choosing that option over say, ext4, especially if you ever do a hard-shutdown, prone to power-outages, etc. It will scramble your system files.

The Great Potoo: A Nocturnal Master of Camouflage

Humans and great potoos have had limited direct interaction due to the bird’s secretive and nocturnal nature. In some cultures, its eerie vocalizations have led to its association with death or bad luck. However, more recently, birdwatchers and ecotourists have become fascinated by the great potoo, appreciating its unique characteristics and mysterious behavior.

Sir Roger Moore quotes of note.

Today I am completely opposed to small arms and what they can do to children. I played every role tongue-in-cheek because I don't really believe in that sort of hero. I don't like guns.

To me, the Bond situations are so ridiculous, so outrageous. I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy and yet, everybody knows he's a spy. Every bartender in the world offers him martinis that are shaken, not stirred. What kind of serious spy is recognized everywhere he goes? It's outrageous. So you have to treat the humor outrageously as well. My personality is entirely different than previous Bonds. I'm not that cold-blooded killer type. Which is why I play it mostly for laughs.

My acting range? Left eyebrow raised, right eyebrow raised.
