Maybe. Maybe not. If only there was some site-mechanism to check community-sentiment on comments.

Oh well, until someone invents that I guess we'll never know.

I appreciate your honest feedback.

qemu ftw.

Point missed twice, impressive.

I admire the time you have dedicated to whooshing and misinterpretation, you have become highly-skilled.

They are speaking for themselves.

The UK is known for rain, so it's unexpected to see the UK missing rain.

Like, you objected to.. ^ that. Confusing.

Off-topic starts here. There is no need to be hostile at a benign comment as there are plenty of dumb people who have earned that hostility.

How you reply to other comments will let me know which you are, given this comment it's not looking great.. but I have hope it's a one-off ill moment.

Re-reading your comment, I think you may be letting your anxiety get to you. Calm down, take deep breaths, then close your eyes. Breath and count the passing breaths, focusing on the rising and falling of the body. If a thought comes, let it pass, focus back on the breath.

Your anxiety may be justified, but I believe that your aim is off, don't let it shoot random bystanders on your side. Better yet, become aware of it through meditation and mindfulness. Wish you well.

Point missed.

He/she's dead, Jim.

It flashed a command prompt, that's how you know it worked!

*arr.

You didn't miss subtlety, the person to which you are replying is the "infinite egocentric snowflake" type. Makes everything about them, is sensitive, kinda common online, but yeah, annoying.

They're always under attack, even when alone, it seems exhausting.

Noooooo, I just wanna make people leaky.. FINE! I'll commit social-murder, but I won't be happy about it. (grumbles) Gna go play my rogue in Oblivion gonna stab everybody.. (Harumph..)

I'm rich and I love stabbing. Stop excluding me from your straw men arguments.

KDE Manjaro running on 4 or 5 of my machines, pure stability. It sounds like a hardware issue.

Here are my suggestions to diagnose this.

Option 1. Setup an ssh server, connect from a second computer (or phone via Termux), execute $journalctl -fe, and observe the journal from your second device when the crash occurs. That should help pinpoint the issue.

Option 2. If you don't have a second device, use a non-gui tty, access via Ctrl+Alt+F1. (Usually terminals are available F1 thru F6). Once again execute $journalctl -fe and observe it during the crash.

Tbh option 2 may just be easier especially if you have minimal knowledge of ssh. Good luck, ping me back if you find this helpful and would like more perspective, and apologies if this doesn't help you.

If the entire computer crashes, boot into a terminal and browse journalctl history of previous boots, sorry I don't have these commands off the top of my head but if you need them and ask I will get them for you.

I'm loving China's silent treatment strategy. Use the diplomatic chains, asshole. Trump may have a mob boss mentality, and corporate America is ready to suck his duck because they are spineless capitalists, but China doesn't need America as much as America needs China.

Fuck the orange moron. Insert head into asshole.

USPS GOAT. Fuck privatización.

Disclaimer Edit: I realize there are some semantics between force, weight, mass, etc. The purpose of this post is not the rigor of the mathematics but the enjoy-ability of being able to abstract interesting measurements. Sorry if I made any mistakes physicists! Always open to corrections :)

Of course we can weigh the earth. In your example the earth weighs nothing because you didn't define a reference frame. Since earth is the usual reference frame we use to weigh objects, choosing the earth itself as an object to weigh does stretch our minds a bit, but we can do it.

In order to weigh something, first we must understand what weight is expressing. Weight is the measure of the gravitational pull of an object A with mass M_a on a second object M_b summed with the gravitational pull of object B on A.

Weight = G_a-on-bM_b + G_b-on-aM_a

In our scenario, if A is the earth and B is a non-planetary-sized object, then the pull G_a-on-b is so much larger than G_b-on-a that we can set G_b-on-a to zero for convenience.

Weight = G_a-on-bM_b + 0

However if we are weighing an earth-sized object we will not be able to do that ;-)

Now, lets talk about the reference frame for this question.

On earth, the weight of some object B is recorded in a reference frame 6,367km from the center of a 5.97E24 kg mass object (object A).

With M(ass) and G(ravity) now defined, we can work toward W. G is easy since we are working with earth-like objects.

Back to the question "how heavy is earth". There is only one earth, so the answer is, "In what reference frame?" Without defining a reference frame, no conclusion of any significance can be drawn.

If we want to weigh the earth in the reference frame of the surface of another earth, we would need two earths. Place a 5.97E24 mass object 6,367km from the center (radius of earth R=6.367E6m) of another 5.97E24 mass object, we will arbitrarily assign a diameter of 1,000km to each, this assignment has no bearing on the result since density is irrelevant in this context.

Where G = 9.81m/s², and the weights/masses of object A wrt B and B wrt A are W_ab/M_a W_ba/M_b respectively. In this case, M_a and M_b have the same value so we'll reduce to M.

W_ab = GM + GM = 2GM

..where M is the mass of earth and G is gravitational acceleration. Voila, our answer.

I'll leave you to do the math as that task is trivial.

I digress.

I must insist that the real question is what is the weight of a third object C (the husband of A) at a distance 8R (the distance from the bedroom door to the foot of AC's bed) when it catches A and B (at relative distances R_ab=2Ra, assuming R_a=R_b) in AC's bedroom when A said it was picking up their son D at a distance 2,700R (soccer practice) and B came home early from work to find them entangled in the passionate embrace of ecstasy when A told C they were too young to get married and have kids but they had a surprise pregnancy and did the best they could. Calculate the weight of C wrt AB and C wrt D assuming the positions of AB, C, and D form a straight line.

Yep. Democrats are complicit. Check out the podcast episode "Americas Hidden Duopoly" to learn more, it's the Freakonomics podcast I think.

I'll try to scrounge up a link: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/americas-hidden-duopoly-2/

We all know our political system is “broken” — but what if that’s not true? Some say the Republicans and Democrats constitute a wildly successful industry that has colluded to kill off competition, stifle reform, and drive the country apart. So what are you going to do about it?

Most of my customization is backend (cronned git autocommits for doc clouds, automated file transfers for media share, scripted reprovisioning of locked down systems (steamdeck), webui automation for app access via ssh), but I appreciate front-end customization because it helps me to learn about the tools used to do so in case I ever do feel like adding some eye candy.

Idk why so many folks act like two things can't be good. Cool community idea. I'm not quite a customizer, but I am more KDE and less XFCE.

"Write random shit to root."

There is a reason they call dd the disk-destroyer.

I add a -v because I like to watch.

You're right, we should ask for consent.
