If root has a password, it's only one password; everyone who has root access knows the password, which means that anyone can share it with no accountability. If privilege escalation rights are granted instead, it's easy to see who did what, as well as to contain any kind of compromise (by revoking said rights).

Also, I think you originally referred to su but sudo allows much more granular control.

I'm not the original commenter, but I think they might have been referring to the 1% sabotaging themselves / each other (IE eating their own metaphorical tails).

Urgent Care (or possibly insurance, I can't recall) will charge you more if they deem the situation "not urgent."

Having a password for root is Ill advised.

An ouroboros is a snake eating its own tail.

edit: Snake. Sorry, I had just woken up.

According to a search I performed several years ago (meaning that my information may be outdated and that I'm no expert), the relevant bacteria have never demonstrated the ability to travel through droplets such as go through shower heads.

Magicka was pretty great.

They almost blend together.

Apparently they're closed now, but Artscow used to offer to print any image you provided on a shower curtain for you. I'm sure other alternatives exist these days.

I thought it looked like an arm flexing.

When I was a teenager, I had a watch with an IR blaster and a few basic buttons (power, volume) built into it. I forget exactly how it worked; I think you would press the button you wanted and it would send out a bunch of common codes to control any nearby TV. Its intended use case was to do what the post describes, but more discreetly than pulling out a TV remote. I never got the chance to use it to that end, or maybe I wasn't brave enough to try, but I loved the idea.

This accounting shows some fairly distressing encounters.

Pretty much the title. It's really weird to scratch my chin and not run my fingers through hair. As a plus, my five year old keeps telling me "you look like a completely different person. But I still know you're my daddy!"

Newbie was a rescue from a dog fighting house. According to the shelter from which we got her, they couldn't get her to fight, so they used her for breeding. For her entire life with us, she had scars from where they tied her down for breeding... But despite coming from the most abusive background imaginable, she was the absolute sweetest dog. She was in my life for about a decade and, other than in her sleep, I never once heard her make an aggressive sound.

Unfortunately, she died a few years ago from a failing pancreas. She's the only dog I ever had to choose to let die. I wish she were still here.

edit: She was really stinky, though.

Them: Knock knock!
Me: Who's there?
Them: Boo!
Me: Boo who?
Them: Boo! I'm a ghost!

A while ago, Maze hurt her ear. Since then we've been giving her all kinds of medication. Obviously things aren't pristine, but she's doing way better and her wheezing has nearly disappeared!

My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?

Last week, I made a post about a demon in my backyard at 4am.

For anyone curious, this is how it disguises its form during daylight. Pretty convincing and a lot less unsettling.

Jokes aside, I remember the PoM song being titled "She Fucking Hates Me," but according to Wikipedia it wasn't part of the title, just the lyrics.

I guess it actually was more mild than I remembered.

edit: Add a word.

My 5-year-old has set up a selection of large rocks on the railing of my back porch, which my kitchen faces.

In the kitchen, there is a small TV with a red status LED, which due to the window construction reflects twice.

As I naively walked into my kitchen, the only person in my house awake in the early morning, the rocks and lights lined up in an alarming way. I got quite a start.

(I know the picture isn't great quality ... I think the phone camera didn't want to focus on reflections. Also I zoomed in to hide my kitchen clutter.)

edit: Clarifications.
