Hexyl's lovely and I copied its style for a hex editor. I don't understand why there are so many terminal hex viewers that don't edit.

Yes. Nothing against it in theory , but it leads to stuff they don't like. Did you read the whole comment?

Taking a PPI (I think it was generic protonix) truly cured very severe heartburn I'd developed from eating a funny diet. After a few months, I got my doctor to prescribe me a half-size pill, then tapered off and I've been permane

Knowing to just have a copy of [The Joy of Cooking] and [Better Homes and Gardens] takes you very far. The recipes are full fledged you're-a-homemaker-with-time-to-do-this level, so sometimes you can simplify them down -- e.g., there

I've found the Month's First Sunday method[1] (a mild simplification of the Doomsday Algorithm including the odd-plus-eleven innovation) easiest, fastest, and most practical. I'm not insisting on it, just great for me, and I

Raised on subcompact Toyotas, this was the only EV that looked like something I wanted. It was also an opportunity to confidently buy a "domestic" car, as an American since my Toyota/Honda superiority complex was all about t

My only helpful use of chatGPT was "How do I shrink this video and make a thumbnail using ffmpeg..." with some specifics. Definitely flags in there I'd never think of.

This is why I'm perpetually confused by the official swearing of oaths by practicing Christians. There aren't a lot of new rules in the New Testament, but this is one of them. Am I misinterpreting the passage?

Is the OP saying Tesla shouldn't be condemned? When a friend's car gets stolen, I reserve the right to condemn the thief and tut-tut at her for leaving the doors unlocked.

They don't advertise it enough, but if you donate something like $6/mo. you get "PBS passport" access on the PBS app that lets you watch years of old PBS stuff. It's like Netflix with way better content.

Wait, I get to blame XDG for this? I've never cared about dotfiles since they're invisible. But Videos, Pictures, etc. have always been a nuisance.

I have finally realized why so many people suddenly care about dotfiles in $HOME. I bet they're all using GUI file managers. So where I never see these things without an `ls -a`, modern linux users are double clicking a folder and have
