When I look at these images now I can’t help but see they’re all just boys, barely hitting the threshold of adulthood, and they’re being thrown into the most horrific situations man has ever created.

We should heed their words of “never again”.

I’ve only ever seen this in the original VHS

I’m pretty sure landlords paint by putting fireworks inside a can of paint, a la Mr bean.

I’m very confused on the grenade pin one.

If you held down the level (not sure what it’s called), wouldn’t the pin be fairly easy to remove? Why would that be harder than your teeth?

I’ve never seen a grenade in person.

It’s a separate but adjacent problem.

No school should ever be allowed to take the doors off bathroom stalls.

That just seems to be the alternative that don’t places are doing to deal with kids congregating in the bathroom to vape.

I think your take is too far. It’s just beyond reasonable.

If a teacher were outside the room and heard a loud crash, they’d go investigate. This is doing the same thing.

It isn’t identifying individuals, it doesn’t record any information about a person, it simply flags that somebody is breaking the rules and is worth taking a look.

This is about the least invasive technological solution you could get.

And it’s a heck of a lot better than alternatives like removing the stall doors.

Do kids prefer to not have doors then? Because I’m reading a lot of messed up headlines where the school removes the stall and bathroom doors and kids lose their privacy.

I’d rather have the TV with an alert than have to do competitive pooping.

macOS installs a recovery partition and hides it from you so you can always restore it.

I think the firmware boots you into a macOS mode so you can always recover your macOS system, but when you finished installation Linux may have nuked it.

I’m not an expert though, I’ve just been using Mac’s for 15+ years and have had to reformat several over the years.

I’ve never installed Linux as the primary OS before.

The second most important thing about vim to learn is:

If nothing is behaving then you probably have caps lock on.

You can always alias > to < in your shell.

I simply have too much vim config and muscle memory to ever leave vim

I’m trapped in a prison of my own making!

Same here.

The biggest diss I have on emacs users, as a vim user, is that emacs is the only text editor where people routinely need to keep a book about it on their desk!

I used to work with a bunch of emacs guys and they all had an emacs book or two on their desk or as a monitor stand. They usually also had one on awk and/or Perl to go with it.

I’m sure they’d probably make fun of me for being unable to edit a file with anything but my specific vim config, which is not compatible with any other human’s vim config.

(I would never seriously judge someone on their editor, but I will bust an emacs users chops and accept a good natured jab back)

I don’t have much to say about nano, except the hotkey bindings are weird and unnatural.

They make sense, but they feel wrong.

I think only the Voth developed that tech.

Fewer than one a month?

I guess a good heuristic is if you don’t watch one or two movies a month on Disney, you should drop Disney makes sense.

I don’t actually have any qualms with that. Power to the people!

In reality though there a planned executive order to forcing Know Your Customer rules on all US web hosts and Internet architecture, so if you’re planning on hosting a fediverse server in the US, the US government will need to know your identity.

I don’t think you need to post your address like the old days, I would never notice nor care about such an omission.

I do always look at job history, and I don’t out a lot of stock in the skills section because most of the time people lie or exaggerate there.

But I thought we cold have free support in realtime with security updates for free forever?

They can’t swipe your password if it’s wrong

They could of course enter it on the target website and see it’s wrong though, so this only works against the crappiest phishing attempts

I’ve adopted a policy of always ebetering my password wrong the first time.

It started by accident.
