If I read your comment right, I fully agree. We take it for granted, we believe that we have the right to exist. At every turn we're trying to defeat death and illness. Trying to defeat nature's (and the planet's) mechanisms

Interesting to see this hit roads. This is how train speed in the NYC Subway (and likely other systems) has been done since the early 1900s. Go too fast, and the train's brakes are activated. The terminology is a bit off, but expected

Sorry I was away for a few days. I wasn't speaking of a pagefile (I know what that is). WinPPC had a setting where you could sacrifice adjust how the onboard RAM was used, as both storage and program memory were RAM in these devices. O

Named long ago, when people weren't so sensitive about words. The term "rape" derives from the Latin word for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, cognate with the Greek word ῥάφη, rhaphe. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Are you the author? The sections involving tlp and multimedia codecs should be amended. Those _require_ RPMFusion, yet that list makes no note of it. If someone follows the suggestions without adding the RPMFusion repo, they may find they r

CICO is fine. Those are all factors that affect the "calories out" part of the equation, they don't break it. The problem is education. Your average person sees things like "values based on a 2,000 calorie diet" and

I've used it on non-chromebook x86-64 machines with no issues. It will use an official image, so I can't tell you what will happen if that image goes end-of-life (probably the same as if you were using the actual hardware - end of

Further into the article it mentions that earlier formulations used blood and urine. Other projects have used urine, so it's not shocking. The bullet point does make it confusing, as it mentions the substitution before we even know it

I suppose that depends on the meat you use and how else it's prepared. Use a high fat ground beef and bread crumbs that'll soak up that fat, and I'm sure many would consider that unhealthy. Use lean meat and something else as

It's a tough demon. I've had a somewhat similar experience. In my late thirties, I started drinking wine. A bottle a day on each of my days off. I could handle that, easily. I never drank (and to this day maintain a personal polic

I had been thinking along those lines originally, but it just states "yard accidents" That number was near the derailment stat, but there can be other types of incidents in yards, such as collisions. So, they are as far as I can t

Unfortunately this fact is buried half way into the article. From personal experience in commuter rail, derailments happen more often than one would like, but most are not severe enough to attract attention. A single axle off the rail count

At least in the NYC public schools in the 80's, we were taught to hold a pen/pencil as you describe. I remember having one friend who held the writing instrument between his index and middle fingers, the thumb at the tip. Really o

A few years back, Coca-Cola released "Coke Life," in a green can. Very short lived, but instead of HFCS, it used a blend of cane sugar and stevia. IMO it kicked HFCS Coke's ass. It tasted better, it didn't have that stic

Coca-Cola also contained cocaine to a point. A lot of the early sodas were developed and sold by pharmacies as tonics. Healing, medicinal, feel good, and so on. A far cry from today's pure sugar rush and crash.

I've done this enough, but don't stop there as it's likely to happen again. When I resort to such a solution, I take a look at the syslogs. More often than not, something there will tell me why a simple restart of a service,

I can't speak for the freight railroads, but morale sucks at my agency. I would be willing to place a wager it's similar at freight, on the subject of time off: no guaranteed holidays. My commuter rail runs 24-7, the only way an e
