oh yes, abcde! i remember that!

add in the NYC (i think that was the main hub, wasnt it?) elites who may not have owned significant number of slaves, but built their wealth on the slave trade

cdparanoia?

my whole elementary school class visited my dad's workplace once, cos it was cool. it had a huge anechoic chamber.

and the cantine had canada dry.

heh, i didnt even know hermon wasnt in israel when i was a kid. the israelis around me all treated it like it was. the age-groups in the zionist camp i went to were negev, galil, golan and hermon.

nobody ever mentioned that golan and hermon are not quite theirs...

as European militaries pass it over in favour of Lockheed Martin’s F-35 as their next-generation jet.

haha, they're being forced (i assume, maybe they're stupid) to buy that useless broken piece of buggy junk, what a clown show.

the article also constantly talks about the amount of money spent on war production as if that was the main thing, only giving cursory mentions to the actual war materiel output.

THIS IS WORSE THAN THE PREVIOUS PASTRY-TYPE THEFT! OH THE HUMANITY!

no, there's also documentation that is 10 years old, entirely out of date and very incomplete.

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, playing games. You sit on the couch, and if you don't stretch regularly, there's no knowing what shape you might be when you stand up.”

look at those tiny pupils! these headfoots are high as fuck

go home, old man, you're finished

i think he's referring to the butthole sunners

does anything flush the buffers after the print, but before the break? otherwise, if the stream you're printing to is buffered, you're not necessarily gonna see any output

everything randomly distributed between ~/dl and ~/tmp (i dont even remember why i have both), and then i use lr to find stuff (alias lr='ls -lrth'). or find.

as seen in terry pratchett's last continent (i think that's the one with the god of evolution)

i'm afraid it's M$ or MiKKKroSSoft. your choice.

they liked 90s russia, when it was weak, full of child prostitutes and people were dying en-masse from substance abuse (and the barn doors were wide open so they could loot it)

i'd probably do

    
function cap() {
        prename 's/(^[a-z]?)/\U$1/' "$@"
}


  

it means it has to be invoked as cap *, but it also means that you can do cap foo* or whatever

when you create the alias, the shell substitutes the $1 (to nothing, probably) since your alias is in "" (double quotes).
now, if you swap the single and double quotes, then the substitution still happens, but at invocation time instead of at definition time.
you actually want perl to deal with this $1, so neither is good.

you have three options:

• write a function instead, as has been suggested
• use $'' quoting, which lets you put ' (single quote) inside ' (single quote) without going mad: alias cica=$'foo \'$bar\' baz'
• go insane and do this: alias cica='foo '\''$bar'\'' baz' (this is the old way, without bash's $'')

IIRC microsoft got got about this in the ie6 days or so, looks like they found their way back to their old behavior
