I prefer the phrase "testicular manifold."

Some bulk food stores let you bring your own. You put a sticker on them with the bulk item # and also the dry weight, so it's a little more work, but then you can put your jars to use!

The Gulf of Lesser Canada does have a certain ring to it...

Newer macOS is not Unix certified.

It's UNIX 03 compliant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification

One or two Linux distros were (are?) UNIX certified, though.

Living things are "entropy eaters"


they take in energy, reduce their own entropy, and poop out entropy to the environment. This is fine, and it doesn't violate any thermodynamics if you look at the whole picture.

So I think the point is that creationists take a myopic view and only look at the creature itself, where indeed it reduces its own entropy...but that's because the creationists are stupid and ignore, you know...everything else.

This is true not only for individual animals, but for evolution itself


more complexity in animals can be viewed as a decrease in entropy (again, this is only a problem if you ignore the rest of the universe).

Their argument is the same as saying that you can open your fridge door to cool off your room.

I think mplayer has an ASCII output mode (VLC, too?), and I believe youtube-dl can output to stdout.

The rest is, as they say, left as an exercise to the reader.

Sounds like he was a mantis and was posting while copulating.

Haha yeah that was the counter example I was thinking of. I agree completely


you could make a Gentoo from source beginner distro, and I think you could make it reasonably "idiot proof," but it would still be a bad user experience most likely (too much time spent compiling).

If your distro can't be forked into a "beginner distro" then it's fundamentally flawed IMHO.

To be clear, I've used Arch as my daily drivers for a while, and while it's not the best fit for my needs (I use Debian mostly), there's nothing that I experienced that was incompatible with a "beginner" distro.

Oh absolutely; the folks who sat at home, are outraged that a fascist is in power, and are too dumb to understand how voting works to realize that they enabled it


they are infuriating.

It's kinda a weird take? Like if I'm in a discussion about some scary things AfD are doing and a left-of-center German joins the conversation, I'd like to think I'd have the ability to...you know...hear what they have to say about things.

There are a bunch of Americans who asked for this; there are a bunch who stood by and did nothing to stop it; and there are a bunch who tried to stop it, did not, and are devastated.

I guess at the end of the day it's just a meme.
