Why save the American people from their bad decision?

by dave4420 2y ago
Yes, but it’s difficult because (as I understand it) the French refresh cycle is out of sync with the US/UK refresh cycle. And even if the UK decided it was ok with spending extra money early, or going without nukes for a transitional

Someone should tell her that the US could shut down the UK’s nukes within two years if it wanted. (We bought them cheap and are reliant on the US for maintenance.)

They use Slack or Teams. There’ll be channels to talk about random stuff, or about fantasy football, or to post pictures of their cats, or whatever. I’m not sure why this is even a question? Do you have any particular topics in mind?

I have per profile ssh keys, by setting core.sshCommand differently per profile, and passing a different ssh config file in each profile. Honestly, overriding profiles per repo sounds like a disaster waiting to happen for me. I'm prett

What’s the advantage of this over https://utf9k.net/blog/conditional-gitconfig/ ? I use this technique to use my personal identity by default, and my work identity with repos that are checked out under ~/$WOR

The term “donor embryo” sounds almost designed to wind up anti-abortion people. Has the pendulum swung too far in favour of avoiding research for ethical reasons? Probably, yes. Do we want it to swing all the way to the opposite extreme? He

Trump won’t be neutralised unless Congress is willing to impeach and convict him. He has been pulling stunts like sucking up to Russia and the whole doge business without permission from Congress. The chances of there being a “convict Trump

There’s an alternate reality out there where things like Hinkley Point C and the Elizabeth Line come in on time and on budget. We really need to get better at large construction projects. In the meantime… I’d say that connecting Hinkley Poi

They’re flooding the zone, to prevent people from getting upset about other things they’re doing. Time you spend thinking about this is time you’re not thinking about damage they’re causing elsewhere.

I’m sure he’d love to be a dictator, but he isn’t. At least not yet. I’m not sure Russia can be allied with America and China at the same time. I don’t see America and China being allies, even if they had the same political system. And I do

It feels like half the benefits of sqlite-per-partition listed are also benefits of sharded Postgres/mysql/etc, and the other half are non-obvious and could do with being justified rather than just asserted. Maybe explained in ano

I like rainbow brackets as well. But yes, I’d like to see some semantic highlighting. Variable declarations in bold. Mutating function calls / operators in a different colour. Colour variables according to their type or scope. Can that
