Even with the wardrobe, they couldn't pull off sexual connection. There is more chemistry in this scene than anything with Anikin and Padme.

The loneliest I've ever been was in a relationship and living together. I've never felt that way when I was actually alone.

When financial publications are giving advice on how to trade inside a bubble, that's a leading indicator that the bubble is about to pop.

I heard he was flying around looking for collectibles.

I've heard that this was a MANPAD and that it was a Pantsir. Do we have any info that would indicate which?

I'm inclined to think Pantsir, because whatever fired that missile was close to the refinery and you'd expect beefier defenses close in. Plus, even the Orks must realize the risk in giving private Conscripavitch a rocket launcher in proximity to thousands of gallons of oil.

If we were to erase the contributions of assholes, abusers, and shitheads the way we do frauds, it would set science, philosophy, and mathematics back hundreds of years.

Either I don't understand your comment, or you don't understand chmod. What you describe ins't beyond chmod; it's the basic functionality of chmod.

And schools should have economics and personal finances as part of the curriculum.

the problem with this "common sense" approach is that it emphasizes and reinforces personal responsibility in a system that's rigged to take advantage of every human foible.

I call this the "late-fee" fallacy. As in the idea that video store late fees are intended to encourage responsible behavior, not a revenue stream that the business relies on. Overdraft fees are another great example.

Financial responsibility would ruin the economy.

Mastering file permissions is a big part of becoming Linux capable. And it essential to the "everything is a file" ethos. Wanna lock down an important file or program? chmod is a powerful ally.

Microslop has tried to adopt a half-ass elevated permissions scheme, but with lame-ass UAC and users who've no idea why Explorer doesn't have administrator rights on their administrator account.

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
