Most people understand that their fares keep the trains running.

Fares make up for about 10% of operating expenses for our trains. User-fees promote a dangerous need to balance yesterday's costs with today's availability, which is ultimately self-defeating.

hit struck in the head

No; not hit struck. That's like TWICE!

Aren't PETA the people who run the cruel shelters killing animals in America?

It just needs commas. Having watched the "no child left behind" generation grow up, this is absolutely not out of the ordinary.

The idiocy of the statement is still in tact

I like how the meaning of this sentence changes with the gratuitous space.

That's a terrible sword to live by. How do you expect to get blood, then? If you're unconscious you can't take it by force.

My stepdad - generally an okay Rick Moranis type and a wizard at the penny stocks - had a quirk. We found out he specifically hated people sucking the sauce off their fingers after eating chicken wings; that kind of thing.

Oh God, we were relentless.

I use it for Ansible, so not for code, and just to reduce the time my brain is exposed to Ansible.

Good old curl|sh

You can see the non stop complaints in the Google Search Support forums about the issue if you scroll down to that time frame. There is also this massive Reddit thread with complaints

But, strangely, not a complaint was heard.

Don't forget the part where it's held at almost-ready temps for a long time. Having worked a restaurant - but thankfully FoH - I've seen the struggle when a dish is ruined and you're serving 7 plates while the kitchen is crunching to make the redo 8th.

Having something that can be seared and served is likely fantastic.

When slang sounds like someone dropped out at the 3rd grade, then we've made that Mark Twain choice.

 

Pay-wall link: https://globalnews.ca/news/9938774/air-canada-vomit-seat-passenger-apology/

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
