What did the south secede from?

Sure, the North wanted consolidation. Of course the only reason the south seceded was because the federation said no more slaves

Many of the people in the North were as racist as the South, but the government was less so

America does supply the best racist symbols after WW2 era Germany

We need a checklist like there is for Russian warships

Sure, but that's not VPN action, it's routing or filtering

Sure, but that's not generally a thing the commercial VPNs offer, and I thought we were talking about commercial VPNs

But my cohort had Watership Down

Described recently as the best example of cosmic horror/literary irony

Dream a dream

And mouse to top right for me. With windows is usually the users who screw up, the worst of the product itself is that it advertises at you

If Linux had the bulk of users we'd be seeing idiot things users installed on Mint

They hide your browsing from your ISP (and probably your government)

They hide your origin and substitute another for web sites.

I'd say a VPN is only useful to people engaging in crime, or things that look like crime and those buying services that are priced differently around the world

That provide no protection against things you might click on

Win+L? Ok session locked

He didn't even /anything with his Linux. I think that charge is incorrect

You've gotta let FrankTheHealer shout from the rooftops. He has windows to heal

Doctors are also terrible at keeping up to date. You can judge how out of date a doctor's cholesterol knowledge is:

• Cares about total cholesterol — 40 years out of date
• Tells you HDL is good, LDL is bad — up to 20 years out of date
• Tells you cholesterol isn't a problem unless free fatty acids are high — current
• Tells you LDL is protective, and higher is better (without high FFA) — current to this month

True versus verified, perhaps

That sounds more racist than true

Chronic flow in an engaging project. Start on a Saturday morning, feel like a coffee since you're a bit sleepy, notice it's Sunday

I had a team of contractors working on some code. They had learnt in their previous jobs to document everything in the work wiki (aside from the design documents which have their own repository)

And it was good they did, since the project was put on hold due to too much mismatch between backend and front, and all the contractors were fired (a day before Xmas) leaving the useless doco as the best reference for whoever needs to resurrect our code

We have never successfully done that. Nestle is still out there doing their stuff
