I don't see a problem here. If the US auto makers are so worried, they should buy a few of them, copy their secrets, and sell them at a marked down price.
Turnabout is fair play, after all.

Weren't some states instituting book bans for subjects considered "harmful"? This seems like a prime opportunity to twist some poorly written state laws and do some actual good with them.

It seems the compost I used was more lively than anticipated. There's an earthworm crawling around in there.
It's a decent 12 inch pot, but it's still effectively a limited environment. So I'm not sure if I should leave him in or take him out.

UPDATE: alright. I'll keep him in, cross my fingers, and hope I've pulled in enough of an ecosystem to both sustain him for his expected lifespan, and safely handle the subsequent death and decomposition.

It's going to be a while, but I have high hopes for this one. I transplanted it a few days ago into some augmented Mel's mix soil, and just kept it moist before bringing it in.

Looks like the compost had a few hitchhikers in it too. I'm tempted to leave them in for some extra green, depending on what they look like later.

The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.

To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we alll recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. The return of the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart.

Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart present itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it. No one will punish you for not retunrning the shopping cart, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it.

The shopping cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

Windows is a service...

No, you're an Operating System. If you were a service, I'd be going into task manager, killing your process, and setting the service startup mode to Disabled.

Knock it off, Microsoft. You're not my buddy, you're an OS. Your job is to sit down, shut up, and run the programs I choose. That's it.
If I find a function that's useful for more than a week, I might make a batch file for it. Until then, you're spare code.

I just retrofitted my basic hand crank mill with a 10mm nut, and drove it with a drill. It's so much faster now, but I do wonder if there's actual properly motorized versions of what I just did.

748 million? I'll be surprised if they get more than 748 thousand.

Fedora Linux also comes with SELinux enabled by default. Did you check that the new home folder and all its contents have the proper SELinux tags?
Run an ls -lZ and check that the directory has the user_home_t tag,
The user's home directory is also stored in the /etc/passwd file. Did you update the entry there?

No, do not "disable SELinux". That advice hasn't been valid for a good 20 years. You can set it to permissive though, to see if it's the source of the problem.

It took me a minute to realize he wasn't talking about a scene in the movie, like the hacking scene from Gumball.

These are the same people who drive with paper-thin, or even fully rusted off, brake rotors. And then they yell at the mechanics for "upselling them" on brake maintenance.

I firmly believe that brakes should be the absolute last thing to fail on a car. The tires can rupture, the steering shatter, and the car snapped in two, but I must be able to bring the remaining wreckage to a stop.

There's nothing quite like the smell of freshly cooked Windex birb.

Arch takes the majority because SteamOS is based on it. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything in the data that would allow discerning between those two.

I've always liked the fan theory that Event Horizon took place in the Warhammer 40k universe, and that the ship went into the warp without the necessary gellar fields.
