What's the percentage on transgender people? 1% or lower? Way lower, even. I say we open the gates and accept as many as want to come in. Couldn't be more than a couple million people.

I don't think that applies since /* will just glob out to all the filenames in /

It's not even that it's low-tech. Tape is high-tech, it's been updated over the years. LTO10s are targeting 36TB of data per tape.

It's the pig-ignorant newbies thinking "hurr durr tapes are 1970s tech". Hard drives are also 1970s tech.

They have their advantages and disadvantages, is all. They're not well suited for situations where you can't guarantee a clean room (or enclosed tape reader), for instance, since the tape medium is exposed to the air. Dust can mess it up REAL good.

But for some situations, it's indispensable.

I wouldn't, as Canadian, because California would fully dominate such a union. It would be Canada joining California, not the reverse. Economically, politically, you'd be the biggest and most important province. I doubt you'll be happy being part of Confederation or being technically a monarchy.

Did they cancel congestion pricing? Last I heard it was working really well.

Ah. Trying to revoke some federal approvals for it, up in the air as to whether they can.

Great. Fuckstick.

Does the metric system mean nothing to you?!

That is 5.15 gigawheats.

Instant permanent ban from me for that. I would salt the fucking earth where that seed grew. I'd go through logs to see if they had friends.

I block those communities because low effort images spam up the feed super fast.

That's a bold but risky move, I wouldn't bet the argument on someone having dug up some obscure examples. The set of people in drag has to contain at least one, and using a 'gotcha' like that could backfire.

But you're right, they do seem exceedingly rare. Like, weirdly rare compared to the general population, even.

That doesn't sound like Torvalds at all. The guy doesn't suffer fools, but he doesn't just pop off at people randomly. All accounts are that he's a pretty chill dude.

Sometimes you have to choose between what is convenient and what is right, and sometimes that means giving things up. But not everyone is willing or able to do that. It's fine, do what you feel you need to.

Ikea is good at standardized parts and dimensions, you can often swap pieces around and do more stuff with modularity. Also they're pretty easy to fix when broken. A reinforcing bracket here, an extra screw there, attach it to the studs, there are options.
