Lmao when you're trying to turn your company into a bloodsucking vampire but you forgot that long ago, you told your lawyer to chain the coffin in case this very thing happened.
I'm hoping this results in some public health oversight recommendations, and that they don't try to say this was a one-off and pin all the blame on some poor line cook. However, given this government's (and particularly Smith's) track record on the matter of public health, I'm preparing to have to manage my expectations yet again.
This is totally wild to me. There is more than 1 road connecting Kelowna and Penticton, why didn't the bus company have a contingency plan for this situation? Not to mention the massive waterway, he probably could have borrowed an inflatable raft from someone and floated down there in less time.
I definitely admire the self-sufficiency and work ethic on display here, but damn. Guy doesn't need new running shoes, he needs a support network.
I'm trying to figure out what demographic would be downvoting this to hell. Arch users getting triggered by a clickbait title? Arch haters trying to cope with a somewhat charitable take on arch users? Or are we all just downvoting for the meme?
Insurance is essentially a bunch of folks each contributing a small amount of their excess resources to a pool so that nobody gets left behind in case of a disaster. It's an inarguably collectivist idea. Private insurance just means there's some fat business types skimming more than their fair share off the top because they "own the company".
Nevermind the fact that single-payer systems are mathematically more efficient.
Costco's business model makes way more sense than most other grocery retailers. My only complaint previously was that the sheer volume of groceries you needed to buy to make it worthwhile turned it into more of a mecca of car-dependency culture than anything.
Now that there are somewhat affordable delivery options, they are head and shoulders better than any other grocery store in my opinion.
It's pretty accurate. Believe it or not, one of our most infamous aviation near-disasters in Canada (the Gimli Glider) happened because someone made a mistake converting fuel quantities between metric & imperial.
My favourite thing is when we get to use awful combinations of both systems, like measuring out 15g of coffee for 12oz of water. Or having 26" bike wheels inflated to 30psi but attached to the bike with a 10mm axle. I especially love kcals and mmHg.
If Russia is drafting foreigners who would otherwise not be there if not for Unilever, then this would be a profoundly evil thing. If they're actually just drafting Russian citizens who happen to work at Unilever, then this might be a misleading headline. The article doesn't specify.
(Unilever still sucks for paying Russian taxes and supporting their war effort)

tl;dr: if you only pick up one name from all these comments, let it be jon bois. He's made some of the most compelling content I've ever seen, especially the "pretty good" series. Money back guarantee, you will not be disappointed.
tl;dr for real: jon bois, climate town, electroboom.
The only difference between those two versions of linux is that the new one was built with a newer version of gcc. That doesn't really narrow the problem down, though. As far as I'm aware, emergency mode is caused by either a kernel panic or a failure to mount a needed filesystem. I'm leaning towards a corrupted kernel, since it doesn't sound like you changed your fstab or had any problem mounting /. I would run fsck -f on your boot partition, then try to re-download and reinstall the new package.
If that doesn't work, then you can add IgnorePkg = linux linux-headers to pacman.conf so you can update without installing the broken package, until you resolve the underlying issue. Or your can install a different kernel altogether.
As for preventing problems in the future, there's only so much you can do. Check archlinux.org before updating to see if anything requires manual intervention, and pay close attention while running pacman in case something goes wrong. You already seem to know the most important part, which is to keep a set of packages that are certain to work, so you can easily downgrade if a crash does happen.
I know we've been over this before, but "unskilled" jobs are necessary, Mike. The people who do them deserve to live too, my guy. The poverty wages aren't the only thing motivating people to avoid those jobs, and that should be firsthand knowledge for you, pal.
And it's not like it takes a lot of skill to look down your nose at people for 10 seasons of television. With all due respect, kindly fuck off.
I decided to switch when windows xp went end-of-life, because my pc was a mid-2000's era relic that would surely catch fire if it was forced to handle the windows 7/10 bloat. Naturally, I installed Mint on bare metal without doing any research beforehand. Not the best idea, but sometimes it's fun to jump headfirst into a completely foreign landscape. That said, Cinnamon (the desktop environment of Mint) shares much of its design language with windows, so it's not really that foreign, as far as the graphical interface is concerned.
What surprised me was just how different the underlying system was, how much more transparent and accessible it was, and how incredibly efficient and versatile the command line could be. Then there's the broader OSS community, which I think is a fantastic thing to participate in even if you don't use Linux, but using Linux is certainly a gateway.
I'm not saying Linux is perfect, and it's probably not for everyone, but it is nice to not be held captive by some monopolistic corporation, who continuously engages in ethically questionable anti-consumer behaviour, in the name of increasingly monetizing their user base. Linux gives power back to the end users, and that's what makes it worthwhile and important.
Lmao oil companies asking politely for permission to cause unimaginable ecological damage like they haven't been doing it for decades. Is their argument that the Athabasca is already so heavily contaminated that they might as well dump the tailings straight into it? Because I imagine that's all they really have here. What a ridiculous proposal.
I guess I'm just glad the Alberta government doesn't get the final say here, because they'd be pouring that shit into every single waterway and trying to bill the rest of Canada for the "export" of residual bitumen.
It really just comes down to the differences in goals and philosophies between each distribution. Some distros have large curated repositories containing most of everything a normal user would want to use. That's what people expect from those distros, and people use them because they want that experience. Likewise, people don't use arch just because it has the AUR. They want a more DIY experience, and arch provides that, with the AUR being an essential part of how it works.
You're not going to get arch users to switch to ubuntu or whatever by duct-taping an AUR clone onto it. Furthermore, I believe trying to make one distro "to rule them all" that attempts to appeal to every niche would be not only a train wreck technically, but an abomination, antithetical to the principles of the OSS community as well.
Gotta love the feedback loop of uninsured drivers causing insurance premiums to rise, leading to more uninsured drivers. If only there was a way to stop people from zipping around in giant steel murder boxes without having insurance...
