i just use unar (unarchive) nowadays, since that works with all file formats iirc

Why not both? Republicans lock the fuck in when it comes to voting in just enough locations to flip seats. They turn out to vote in the necessary areas, where democrats don't.

I might not be able to change any republican's mind by telling them they are stupid as hell for voting the way they do (or give them facts that they would just ignore), but I can show up and encourage all my friends and family to vote against a fascist in our red district.

There is a movie that kind of approaches this concept-- the Terminal. The main guy, while in the airport, sees his country erupt in a war on TV and his nation is dissolved. He can't go back since all flights to and fro have been canceled. He hasn't passed customs, so he isn't legally in the country. So he kind of has to live off the facilities in the airport.

That is unfortunate. I haven't used that in awhile, but when it worked it was relatively easy

Glad to see more alternatives around. I have been using pairdrop.net, but it fails pretty readily on large transfers since it needs a constant connection. I've also tried transfer.sh in the past (lets you set an expiry and password if using with commandline) but I don't think that encrypts automatically and it stays on their server.

Followup question, if you don't mind! What still needs to be maintained on the Win32 system on behalf of the Fedora maintainers? If everyone has moved on from 32bit, and the old stuff doesn't change, where is the maintenance requirement? Could we not find a "final" version and leave it static, but still available in the package manager?

Is it that packaging requirements change for different systems to keep up with hardware drivers/new package managers/kernel removing deprecated features/security vulnerability patches?

I read in another comment that there is a type of rubber bullet that has a steel ball inside- if those are shot at the floor and bounce, the ricochet can result in something like the reporter that needed calf surgery. Either way, it is fucked. Bring a cup like you'd use for football to protect your groin, and I read that skateboard helmets tend to offer more protection from the side and back of your head. I wouldn't bring a kid if there is a chance of armed civil enforcement.

I saw this recently and sent it to some folks as a joke (been trying to get them to switch) They did seem more receptive to it, though. https://gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma/

Make sure your passport is up to date!

I can't say that I've tried this for python, but have you looked into multi-root workspaces? That is how my current C++ and cmake setup performs, so Python might have something similar.

Would love to share the source for the turnout estimates around, if you have it handily!

If you are in a lower tax bracket now then you would be when you retire, put it into a roth. If a high bracket today then tomorrow, put it into a traditional.

I have only just heard this for the first time and it is interesting to me, what is the reasoning for this? I've been following the pattern of max out 401k match -> max out roth -> send extra to 401k, but I don't really follow the intuition behind either strategy.
