GP is talking about the Windows 95/98 era, not the DOS era. By that point, all of that was history.

Fair enough, and thanks for the correction. In any case, working for an actual gun dealer is still compatible with a stance of "I support universal background checks and closing the private-seller loophole", which is still a form

> For example, can you be a gun shop owner without being pro-gun? Some would say actions speak louder than words. That's a false dichotomy. There are multiple stances on guns besides "guns should be completely unregulated"

Hey, that's Marcin Wichary! He's the creator of GUIdebook, a really nifty desktop GUI comparison site. It hasn't been updated in almost a decade and a half, but it's still really neat. https://guidebookgallery

Honestly, so many of the problems in our work culture is caused by small businesses who don't want to play by the rules that I'm okay with just letting them hang. This is the same argument that's used to justify lack of paid

Alternately, if you're a woman with hypertension, ask your doctor to prescribe you some spironolactone to take along with your licorice. It's a potassium-sparing diuretic that was originally developed as a blood pressure drug. Sin

As someone who takes a considerable amount of a potassium-sparing diuretic every day for medical reasons, it just occurred to me that I might benefit from eating more licorice, as hyperkalemia is an actual risk of my meds.

I'm not interested in using Firefox, and having to actively switch modes every time I open an article isn't acceptable. I want something that globally eliminates all max-width everywhere.

So does anyone have a userscript to override the maximum line width? I have claustrophobia, and having text forced into narrow columns actively triggers it. Taking a look at the Basque Wikipedia, I can tell right here that it's complet

I don't think mine did. Maybe. I remember hearing one classmate mention shop once, but maybe I misheard him or he was joking or something. If we did have a shop class, it wasn't advertised, I don't know who taught it or where

Lua isn't homoiconic, though. This is basically Lisp without the parentheses.

Which is why I'm vehemently opposed to classing Uber drivers as contractors.

I also went the Nexus 5X -> Moto X4 route, and I just preordered the 4a. Looks like a worthy successor from the specs, at least.

Just pulled the trigger on a Pixel 4a. Perfect dimensions, plastic body, headphone jack, yes! It'll make a nice replacement for my Moto X4.

My experience with DTP shots is that one of my arms is a useless-but-painful dead weight for a week or so. I'd still take that over getting tetanus.

So while Arch ships everything, and being Arch it doesn't really have a default, its recommended networking system isn't systemd-networkd but rather netctl, which is basically everything systemd-networkd should have been.

When I see comments like this: > cancerous user-hostile protocols of HTTP/2 I know not to take the article seriously. I'm simply not interested in hearing from someone with that kind of attitude.

I'm not talking about lockdown laws. I'm talking about observing proper quarantine procedures. If you are leaving your house for any reason, you are not properly quarantining even if you aren't violating lockdown laws, and

The ADA requires the restaurant to make the accommodation, not the disabled person. And that still doesn't solve the problem of people with social anxiety who are unable to engage in a conversation with another person.

Quarantine means quarantine. It sounds like you're failing to properly observe quarantine. 1. I don't have a vehicle of any kind. 2. I am at severely high risk for COVID-19 complications due to multiple medical problems, and I can

This discriminates against deaf/mute customers and customers with severe social anxiety who can't speak to another person. Charging higher prices to the disabled violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.

> GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GO GET YOUR OWN FOOD That's really something to say to people who are 100% quarantined during a pandemic.

Maybe because some people are completely quarantined and unable to leave their homes.

All small measurements in the US are done in power-of-two fractions of an inch. In fact, much of the initial opposition to the metric system here was led by the construction industry, who has found from experience that 1/2" 1&#x2F
