Oh, how easily we all forget…

I just pulled it from an image search…

Seems like they need to make a wastebasket that fits the paper sacks?

You seem to be arguing the same point I am from a different perspective; he would have to be at least 16 to be “at least 30” as the other commenter said. I am also arguing against precluding several years of age that the boy in the photo could be all of which would result in him being less than 30 today.

He doesn’t look 16 to me. The OG iPad was available in the States 15 years ago this month and Europe 15 years ago next month.

Even assuming this is as early as Christmas 2010 I would argue he is 29 today or maybe just turned 30.

Meh, this was maybe 15 years ago. I would bet on not quite 30 yet.

I allocated 75gb on my 1tb drive to Fedora and most of the rest (~900gb) to my /home. After over 2 years and a few upgrades (Workstation 37-42 IIRC) it’s sitting at 64.2% used.

The greybeards I learned from many moons ago liked to split /var, /bin, and /tmp from / as well as /home. I haven’t gone that far in some time though. As always YMMV.

Dont forget The Trail of Tears, or that they tried to starve Indians to death right after.

I mean… if you are always high then that isn’t wrong is it?

And the powers that be keep scratching their heads about falling birth rates…

This is both true and untrue. On the one hand yes printers do this. On the other hand if you never registered the warranty then it’s unlikely that Best Buy still has record of which printer you bought 10 years ago.

As ever YMMV.

The Duke was the best controller ever made.

So much of modern life feels like ‘internet troll’ became a personality affectation.

This is the 21st century though so it’s going to be sub-dermal RFID tags that get scanned like toll booth passes in cars.

There were 53 million households in the US with cable when the fairness doctrine was eliminated in 1987. Cable and the Internet are where and why the people we have been talking about weren’t deplatformed. The Internet has been around since the 60s. I think you might be confusing it with the World Wide Web which is a 90s thing.

What if you could math the monkeys?

Trump has said that his favorite president is Andrew Jackson… the dude who perpetrated the Trail of Tears…

AFAIK the alert voices, like the ones for the NOAA, were automated already.

I can’t agree with you on the fairness doctrine specifically; first it only applied to over-the-air broadcasting, (so ABC, NBC, etc.) but not cable or the Internet. Secondly it was largely interpreted by these networks as forcing fringe views into the main stream. So they would have a faith healer on at the same time as a doctor, or a creationist on at the same time as a paleontologist. There are those who feel that this led directly to our current “my faith is as important as your reason” problem.
