While I agree that likely most SMTP traffic is sent encrypted these days, you simply cannot be sure. Just because you received something over an encrypted connection doesn't mean that relays in between also used this. The webserver could have handed over the email unencrypted to an SMTP server for all you know. And even if an encrypted connection was used the mail might still have been copied to a log on the SMTP server. Email is unfortunately inherently unsafe.

Part One (2021)*

Wouldn't want them to get confused with Dune (1984) or the Dune miniseries (2000), now would we? 😋

Yup, definitely interested in Starfield. But at the moment still enjoying Act I of BG3, Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.0 and DLC are right around the corner and after I've finished those Cityies: Skylines 2 will be available. So I'll probably have time for Starfield somewhere early 2024, depending on if my recurring Satisfactory itch hits before that. But by that time more official and unofficial bugfixes and QoL mods will be available, so I'm fine with waiting a bit longer to play. This year is just filled with too many goodies. 😁

check for an alternative install method, like Flatpak,

If anyone wants to go the Flatpak route, think about enabling Flatpak in the Manjaro package manager. That way you'll keep a centralised overview of installed software and the package manager will handle any updates.

Dat is altijd nog 'koekwaus' voor jou. 😋

In that case either the charger or the Switch was faulty, no matter the protocol in use, the devices should negotiate which charging profile to use. You can't blame a non-spec implementation on the protocol, that's on the manufacturer.

From what I've been able to see, that specific issue stems from a combination of cheap chargers/docking stations and Nintendo changing the USB-C port tolerances to allow smooth sliding in and out of the dock. Again, don't blame the standard if the manufacturer decided to implement their own crappy version of it.

Damn, getting old. 19 years of service, hitting 20 at the start of February. 😄

You can split your vacation time into multiple parts, but one of them must be at least 14 calendar days.

That would depend on your country, there is no EU law that makes having two consecutive weeks of holiday mandatory.

The opposite is true for the tiny arms. The arms are not tiny because it's beneficial for them to be that small. They're tiny because there's no reason for them to be big.

It is theorised that it might actually have been an advantage to have smaller arms, so there may have been some selective pressure:

"What if several adult tyrannosaurs converged on a carcass? You have a bunch of massive skulls, with incredibly powerful jaws and teeth, ripping and chomping down flesh and bone right next to you. What if your friend there thinks you're getting a little too close? They might warn you away by severing your arm"

In case of larger species with a tremendous bite force getting bitten in the arm would probably result in very bad, and likely very short, times.

Only they did charge Apple prices. Their latest model cost about €3500, which (for Dutch standards at least) is insane for an electric city bike.

No. I'm exercising my Musk-given right of ultimate free speech and will continue calling it Twitter, just because I feel like it. Musk would be proud of me standing up against censorship. Oh wait..

A little tutorial for you:

It helps if the people in charge are artists whom just want to create something unique, without too much thought on all the intricacies of running a company in real life.

Also exclusively using custom-made parts instead of using off-the-shelf parts that have proven themselves time and again, is a great way to not be able to leverage the costs and reliability benefits of mass production.

So now that you've ended up with the situation of high operating costs, you also end up with a lot of issues due to your fancy custom designed components breaking down within warranty. And it gets even better: because regular bikeshops cannot handle warranty cases, as they do not have the necessary training or components, you need a large number of in-house mechanics that only cost you money instead of helping you earn it!

Military-grade repellant you said? Time to break out the Star Wars Mosquito Defense System.

Thanks, good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. As for your answer, I have no idea. But my guess would be some hidden longing to get screwed himself, makes me wonder how often he dropped the soap in that Romanian jail..

Not just that, but ever since F32 every single fricking update managed to either break something completely or made some part of the OS too unstable for daily use. Bluetooth issues, crashing display server, system hanging on suspend, broken bootloader on some Secure Boot sysems (handover from EUFI to bootloader no longer happening) therefore rendering the system completely unable to boot.. Just some issues I ran into when using Fedora as my daily driver for well over a year.

Fedora is great when it works, but always keep in mind that having a bleeding edge system comes at the cost of stability.

When encountering an aggressive shopping cart, remember:

Shoot off a limb and they're still 86% combat effective. Here's a tip: Aim for the nerve stem and put it down for good..

Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind.

Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.

I would even say the weapon of choice for men-at-arms in general, not just knights.

Or fight half-sword (Halbschwert), you grip the blade with your free hand around the middle to deliver stronger and/or precision strikes against weak points in your opponent's armor.

Xcrements.. "They Xcreted it on X" sounds appropriate.
