It's hard to get a balanced nutrition on a bush diet for two main reasons: 0. Lack of nutrition understanding: what are/where to get essential nutrients. 1. Nutrition-balanced foods in the middle of nowhere may be nonexistent or d

FBSD: I was just dealing with circular dependency hell (or misunderstanding of docs/conventions) in some rc.d scripts. Maybe someone here knows how to do this properly (or better): # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/d

Most, but not all, companies generally don't donate any money to server OSes and open source they deploy by the hundreds of thousands. It sucks but it's the current state of affairs. (I think more FOSS should be be less free and

One risk of using OpenBSD is a lot, but not quite enough, people use it on enough on random hardware and give actionable feedback to make it battle-tested, "Just Work" (TM).

So true. We would consider OpenBSD if it ran on AWS and stably supported ZFS. (We use FreeBSD with PF and ZFS.) "NIH syndrome" resulted in signify rather than using normal, proven tools like GPG which Debian-base distros use for

Yup. Business theater is usually stuck in maintaining in-group approval, "industry standards" and historical continuity. My favorite HR signal which doesn't seem to qualitatively work: - non-rigorous certifications The best

There is no debate that a hateful double-standard (lifetime ban) is allowed to stand, the questionnaire can be essentially eliminated right now by more rigorous and comprehensive testing using modern lab processes. If the testing is up to

It's a form of discrimination equivalent to banning African Americans from donating blood. [0] Because a group "might" engage in risky behavior, it's unfair to assume all members do and are therefore treated differentl

The entire blood donation routine lifestyle/behaviors questionnaire of self-reporting is of little value because people can make mistakes or intentionally misrepresent their status. A far better approach is to test all donated blood,

Yeah, I've seen it on the questionnaires. That's just wrong and an obvious form of pervasive hate. I think the determination should be strictly related to risky behaviors like not using condoms or sharing needles . Also, the

Yup. It seems better than inhaling smoke particles though. For people that use weed, vaping is probably safer than inhaling unfiltered joints. http://www.theweedblog.com/smoking-marijuana-vs-vaporizing-m...

What does killing oneself with excesses and risky habits like drugs, alcohol, food, driving too fast, riding a bike/motorcycle without a helmet, etc. have to do with being gay? PS: I have a gay roommate, so clearly I must be a Republic

Sadly, I think the only way for most Americans to maintain a healthy lifestyle would require significant, paternalistic education and intervention. One idea others have proposed would be clearly-and-emphatically warn of future denial of ce

This is cool as another resource to get seemingly curated recipes, but there's not really a place comment, sort/filter/search recipes, make changes or see user reviews before viewing an individual recipe. Usually, I use all

Food for though: raw cost for a below -poverty annual subsidy of $12.5k to all adults in the United States: 209,128,094(&) * 12,500 = 2.6 trillion USD/year That's equal to about 66% of the 2015 federal budget or 15% of 201
