Didn't Trump's tariffs remove the unfair advantage of foreign cars so now superior US-made cars dominate the free market because they're the best?
And Tesla's cars, with their Full Self Driving™ technology are literally 20 years ahead of the competition, so why aren't people buying them??
I don't understand!

Debian's build still depends on an xserver.

Or if you're ambitious, you practice in front of the busiest footpath and get all of the embarrassment of failing in front of an audience out of the way early.
So nothing can phase you later when you perform.

You can adjust the stand and immobilize the people.

In Catholic Church politics, he was the middle-of-the-road candidate.
On the one side, he protected priests who sexually abused children.
But on the other side, he was never caught diddling kids himself.
A true moderate.

I would like to see us broker a lasting peace without lobbying for national self interest.

The times when the US was in a position to act as neutral-ish arbitrator are long gone.

Anti-vaxxers legitimately believe that vaccines do harm. I don't think that's comparable.

Then either they changed that, or I didn't understand it right, while I was using it.
Probably the latter. That being said, my other frustration was a lack of easily discoverable in-depth documentation.
But I wouldn't be surprised if I was just too dumb to find that, too.

Is there any good reason why the rifles aren't firmly fixed to a stand so they point directly at the heart, with the shooters only pulling the trigger?

Three shooters just isn't enough.

Because no medical professional will do it.
It goes completely against the entire pride and ethics of that profession.
You don't put yourself through all the education required to become a physician, to then help kill people against their will.

I do what I call "productive procrastination".
I allow myself to procrastinate by doing something else instead that's also necessary to do.
Of course, "necessary" is a slippery term.
But what definitely doesn't fall under it is doom-scrolling, day-drinking and wikipedia rabbit holes.

This actually lets me be pretty productive throughout the day, as long as I have tasks I can push back endlessly.
Like, I haven't brought my finances and investments in proper order in over 10 years.
Which probably cost me a 5-digit amount in lost profit over that time frame.
But I'm fortunate enough to not feel it and accept things like this as my ADHD tax.
It would take a couple hours, but would involve decisions and it never becomes urgent.

Would it be weird if you were in a park and a grown up man was there juggling?

No. It would be depressing if I was in a park and no one was there juggling, or trying to learn to ride a unicycle, or failing to slackline, or setting up a tent for the first time before going on an adventure, or doing yoga, or practicing artistic moves.
To me, that's just what people do in a park. That's (also) what parks are for.

When you start, for the first 5 minutes or so, people will look at you, maybe they'll even point at you, maybe even laugh.
But unless you live in a really shitty depressing place, that laugh will be one of joy, and they'll look and point at you cause they are interested.

Source: I did all those activities in parks. No one ever laughed at me, and I never got the feeling they thought I'm a weirdo.

I meant not being able to rummage around in /etc .
Since it is read-only, you always have to copy a config file into your home/user/.config/... before you can edit it.

You're such a heartless bastard, depriving those poor foxes in the forest of their food, by sheltering it.

It was hyperbole. I used Silverblue for a bit trying to avoid layering packages entirely.
But not being able to simply install CLI system tools I'm used to (like btop) or rummaging around in /etc felt really limiting. I realize that's on me, cause these distros work differently.

Then staying with Windows forever, no matter how shit it's become and how much it's changed even compared to just 2 years ago, is the only option.

Fedora Silverblue is basically Android.
You click on apps in a software store to install, it updates itself (without you noticing) on reboot, the terminal is entirely optional and almost entirely useless.

Or done it before it hatched

Yes. It's the only package on my system that still depends on X. Without it, I could remove X entirely.
