YSK: manholes are dangerous. Never mind the nastiness and falling hazard. Many are cast-iron and because of the rust, the interior can be a low-oxygen environment. And that's not the only way the air can be too fouled to breathe safely.

If you've ever seen professinals entering manholes, they'll be using a ventilation system to ensure fresh air and safety.

EDIT: this isn't just about breathing, sewer gasses can be fire/explosion hazards too.

I've used SAMBA shares for years, and it's dead simple to map a network drive in Explorer. And mounting that drive on boot is a matter of a checkbox in a dialog.

The problem is that knowing how to do something in Windows teaches you Windows and learning it in Linux teaches you computers. For example if you know how to connect to a remote host through the command line, you already know how to connect to one in Nautilus, and vise versa. (via the command ssh://user@host)

I think this cross-pollination approach is going to be a learning curve for Windows users. It is for me. But taking the time has not only helped me understand Linux, I understand how to use Windows better, despite barely logging in for over a year.

There is a rise in so called "America first anti-Zionism". Don't fall for it.

The first problem, of course is that it's anti-Semitic at it's core. But also, the idea that Israel "tricked" the US into war with Iran is just stupid. The US has been in a on-again off-again conflict with Iran since the 70s. Every POTUS since Carter has contemplated attacking Iran, they just concluded (correctly) that it wouldn't work. The only reason to believe America didn't go into this eyes-open is to absolve the US for Israel's crimes. We were tricked you see... by those crafty Hebrews.

Donald is just looking for a scapegoat. This is typical behavior when things don't go his way. It may be true that Netanyahu had undue influence over Trump, but that could be true of anyone who Trump talks to, or sees on TV.

It's true that nihilism cannot justify any action. Remember that when someone says that somebody did something "because" they're nihilist.

The truth is that nihilists aren't upset about the lack of meaning; it doesn't matter that it doesn't matter. Everybody constructs their own meaning, nihilists just acknowledge that.

Fight fire with fire. Spread the word that Charlie Kirk died of an overdose, the gunshot hysteria is a distraction.

If we ban space advertising, then only criminals will be able to advertise in space.

What we need to fight bad advertisers in space is good advertisers in space.

This could be solved if we only allowed astronauts to conceal-carry ad-copy.

(I like to use gun arguments out of context, because it emphasizes how dumb they are.)

I'm apologize. I didn't mean to insult a SPECIES TREASURE.

How could I have guessed a people should be so culturally impoverished? America produced jazz, blues, and rock and roll: I should check my privilege.

This isn't crazy. A vet would automatically be better educated than any paramedic, and the quick and dirty procedures at the front are not meant to replace a surgeon, but rather to keep you alive long enough to reach one.

This is disrespectful to Satan. I mean the man invented Jazz to corrupt the youth and you think he's wasting his time with dumb-ass boomer blues-rock? What a downgrade, no wonder Satan hates Christians.

It's really interesting to describe bees as "loose". What actually happened was a spontaneous pollination event.

Maybe that's what makes them "loose". Using their labor in such a way that can't be exploited by capital.

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.
