   Worse, I've seen CVS do things like place a 180-count package of generic medication next to an identically-sized 200-count package of the equivalent name brand, with the generic costing a bit less, but with a slightly higher unit price

   I'd usually associate the term "regional" with chains like Meijer, Giant Eagle, and Winn-Dixie. With 2,392 stores in 38 states plus DC[1], I'm not sure Aldi US qualifies. [1] https://stores.aldi.us

   Correct, but to avoid confusion, search engines should present infobox results using the locale conventions of the search page (en-US in my example), not the source. For instance, Google correctly reports Germany's 2022 GDP as $4.082 t

    Write a program using https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/update_hook.html On a PDP-11, run this program via telnet, rsh, or rexec. If you're more ambitious, porting SQLite to 2.11BSD would be a fun exercise.

    I have a pair of HGST HDN728080ALE604 drives (8TB Deskstar NAS). One has SMART 22 at 100 after 43,239 power-on hours; the other is offsite and online, but is the same age and had SMART 22 at 100 last time I checked. My other helium drives (

    This is a mistake, but forgivable, as Windows executable launch behavior blurs this distinction. Just like UNIX shells, cmd and PowerShell are ordinary console programs. The Windows equivalent to xterm and friends — i.e., the mechanism r

    I assume the main reason airlines require ID (for domestic flights) is to prevent ticket resale, and that "security" is just a convenient scapegoat. And I'm not alone[1]. [1] https://www.schneier.com/crypto-gr

    Short of a civil war, yes, because the text of the 22nd Amendment is unambiguous and requires considerably more process than a supermajority in the House and Senate to overturn.

    I seem to recall some vendor (HP?) selling external tape drives at some point that supported bootable, bare metal Windows restore from tape. I believe it worked by supplying the recovery software as a bootable ISO image in ROM on the drive
