Thank god for “filter user”

Windows 10 decided to update a machine in a client’s office. The update took 4 hours and the employee could do zero during that time. A few weeks later a Win 10 machine at the same office crashed and would not start. I was left googling error codes from the BSOD. Nothing worked and I had to reinstall. I decided I needed to get my own work stack off of windows. I installed Kubuntu. 2 years later and I like KDE, I like the Debian base, I hate snap, but mostly I’m working and productive.

Can we not pretend? Sometimes hard to definitively identify a drone that was shot down. And a copied Iranian drone could be hard to pin down too. But we all know and can see who sent them.

7 hard drives at 12TB each in your luggage?

Yeah that should be metal or at least thick PVC. I think I’d mix up some epoxy and paint it liberally on the broken parts with a Popsicle stick. And I’d epoxy over the green area and make that slope into the pipe. There’s no pressure here so you’re just trying to prevent leaks and direct gravity.

Spoiler alert! It’s One Trump America News

Perhaps you can pull up a transition piece where this tile ends (a threshold or wooden transition maybe). That might show you/confirm the other layer that’s maybe below it.

Your very long comment reveals that you understand the analogy but would rather complain about it than address it. Russia invaded Ukraine and is killing it’s people, correct? Digging deep into the geopolitical history to find some kind of reason is very much like apologizing for this murderer. It’s not an academic pursuit or a fun problem to study, it’s “I’ve got tanks and disposable people, I’m taking your land”.

When the schoolyard bully is on top of you, punching you in the face, it feels inappropriate to contemplate his bad childhood.

He (or you) ascribes alot of nuance and careful consideration to someone who has demonstrated nothing but malice and avarice. Putin clearly cares nothing for both the people of Ukraine and his own people. Why are we trying so hard to be understanding to a murderous dictator?

Seems to ignore the reason why Putin wants a non-NATO neighbor, namely so he can invade and control it.
