  • TV? What's that?

    We all know Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster.

  • Enterprise, starring Tim Allen Ray Romano as Captain Archer

  • Half of Jadzia Dax's dialog was gossip, especially about relationships.

    And almost all of Kira Nerys's personal life was about relationships.

    Blame Berman.

    [Yes, not literally half. It's hyperbole. Don't @ me.]

  • As a US non-homeowner, I'm not sure what you think I should do about it.

  • Are you using Cloudflare DNS?

  • How many extra trees do you need to offset the manufacture of that unnecessary CO2 meter?

  • The user you are responding to has an account on a .ca domain. In Canada (as well as UK) it is more common for the rate to only be locked in for 5 years.

  • This contrasts interestingly with the current top comment, Subscriptions.

  • Is this some kind of prepaid nightmare? I'm across the pond, and what you're describing sounds vaguely familiar. But it was almost half a lifetime ago that I turned 18 and switched to unlimited postpaid.

  • have you tried to setup sendmail on a machine lately?

    No, that's what postfix is for.

  • It's $500/blade/yr for 10 years of security updates for unlimited VMs. Hard to beat, even with the recent price increase (I think it used to be $299?).

    Landscape and kernel live-patching are also useful, as is ADsys.

    Even without paid support, the two-year LTS cadence is a good balance between bleeding edge and stagnant stability. Debian doesn't follow a fixed release schedule; and RHEL is so bare-bones and out-of-date that you need EPEL just to make it useful.

  • Ubuntu is the most popular operating system across the major public cloud providers.

  • Fountain soda typically uses a higher ratio of syrup to water. This is in anticipation of some ice melt.

  • Sheesh, you could barely floss between those houses!

  • any hardware store

    Face masks are most effective at reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 when the infected persons wear them. They may reduce incidence of infection when donned by healthy persons, but they are much less effective at doing so versus the former case.

    The N95 respirators one would likely find at a hardware store are not the proper masks. The 3M Cool Flow Valve Particulate Respirator 8511, for example, which I picked up recently at a hardware store, only filters the incoming air but not the outgoing air. The contagions flow straight out.

    They were absolutely great for better tolerating the highly dusty environment that prompted me to purchase them. But I wouldn't trust them if contagions were the concern at hand.

    If they are your only choice? Sure. But if you have a better option? Go for it. Help protect your neighbors.
