Y'know, I've been writing double dashes and having them converted into em dashes about 50% of the time on whatever platform I'm using for decades. It's bizarre that this is suddenly supposed to be a shibboleth.

I have the same opinion as you and use remarkjs a lot at work. It obeys the markdown rule that you can devolve to real html and I handle my images with real img tags and styling. I'd honestly prefer using straight html for the whole sl

I got a Motorola Razr because it was an affordable folding phone and was shocked by how nice it is. As in I, a cheapskate, may actually have brand loyalty now.

thestorygraph.com lets you add a new book to their catalog with a checkbox for "not a book". I keep meaning to track short stories there this way.

This does seem to be European cat oriented rather than "where did domesticated cats come from in the first place?" https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/domestication

1. I hope you're saying your ears hurt from physically wearing headphones, not from volume. 2. Many responses in this thread self-diagnose with many disorders because of the need to wear headphones in an open office environment. Open o

As long as you "own" the domain name yourself, so can point anywhere, what's the problem with using a platform and expecting to have to move someday?

Eh. It's really the implementation is garbage. I'd love every textbox that submits data to have a 6pt red-on-white caption that has only the words "Anything typed in this box is not private".

I am very tempted to install solely so I could say "Ah, ah, ah: it's not GNU/Linux, it's Linux." The distro is a Linux kernel with BSD userland.

I know what you mean. But he's trying his best to be the new Mr. Wizard and youtube has a very long list of demands.

I wouldn't do this if there were lives at stake. e.g. turning off circuits in a hospital to see which ones are really necessary. It's a very strong claim to say no lives depend on any federal funding.

I've had innocents' IDEs do this to them. Fortunately it results in pull request rejected, not commit to master.

You only get to say this if you stake the strong libertarian claim that it's impossible to exploit adults. Make sure you're okay with the most extreme exploitation. e.g. Why should anyone else get between a literally starving pers
