Hate this shit. I remember being a kid. It was torture. I was cut some slack since my academics were really good. But it was still a pain.
I don't think it's feminism at that point. It's misandry. I know many women who don't understand the difference, but they're not the same.
None of the things you mentioned sounds even remotely plausible though. 🥲
Yes, electoral college should be abolished. It's probably not gonna happen though, so this is a temporary band-aid solution that many states have implemented.
The script you provided works as expected for me. I'm on Arch, so the binary is called perl-rename, but no other modification is needed.

Sure, but there are other languages in the world. In Bangla, for example, we formally use different words for different genders of animals. But people often add the equivalent of boy/girl in front of the animal name to signify its gender. For us, there are no hard rules for the usage of these adjectives/nouns.
I'm not sure I like the idea of demonizing people just because of a word. Unless it's something as fucked as the n word, it might just be a matter of dialect. Many no natives English speakers I know use female as a replacement for woman. The intent is the more important thing. Sometimes the most well spoken man can also be sexist.
One of my closest friends tried attempted suicide last year. The first thing obviously was to make sure he survived. We don't live in the same city, so that was a very long and stressful day for me. Fortunately, we have mutual friends who I could reach. (I was the only one he texted before the attempt.)
Anyway, after he was well, I never really pressured him to talk about it. I, and others, convinced him to talk to a therapist. After I believe a week or so, he just randomly opened up and we talked for hours. This happened a few times. But I always tried to not pressure him into opening up, and kept our friendly banter and everything. I never wanted him to feel that something between us changed because he tried to take that route. I'll still call him names and roast him, and he'll clap back. That's just our dynamic. I think people often overcompensate, and end up making things worse.
That paragraph turned out to be much less structured than I had hoped. It's just hard to put into words what to do. I guess, just try to be a good friend. Whatever that means for you. Be there for them. Talk to them. Don't pressure or guilt them into doing anything. Don't guilt yourself into behaving differently. Be compassionate if they do open up, but don't force them. Just be like you usually are, grab a drink maybe, and have a good time with them.

This was used at the end of the movie Jojo Rabbit (one of my favorite movies btw). I often remember this line when I feel like everything is going wrong. It helps me hold on to hope.
Even though it's not as popular as the other options, parts of NetBSD are used for many usecases. Take a look at

Hey, thanks for telling me about the Ranma ½ remake. I loved it as a teenager, looking forward to watch the remake.
I don't get this argument for practicality of classes. There shouldn't be any budgeting, taxes related classes. You know basic math, an one hour YouTube video should be enough. For more complicated taxing situations, you'll hire an accountant anyway. Cooking can actually be nice to learn, but definitely not in primary school. Some high schools actually do have optional cooking courses. My school called it Home Science. For job hunting, most schools do career counseling towards the end of high school. And home repair etc. should be taught by a parental figure. Not everything can be done in school. School gives you the basic tools so that you can learn whatever you need to learn to make a living.
Idk man. Homelessness will kinda suck anyway, because you have no place to rest, usually struggle to get enough food etc. Bad weather will make things much worse. Solitary is considered to be one of the worst kinds of prison sentences, unless you're like a target for others for some reason. And high school can go either way. Mine was great, but it can definitely suck for some. But without others, how exactly is it a school? Maybe in some extreme cases of bullying, it might be better, but I think for most the loneliness will be far worse.

Floods in Tripura have killed 10 people and forced over 34,100 to seek shelter in relief camps.

Bangladesh is suffering a nationwide internet shutdown as students armed with sticks and hurling stones clash with police in protests against the government that reports said have left at least 39 people dead.
Media reports from Bangladesh say 19 more people have died in clashes between police and student protesters attempting to impose a “complete shutdown” of the country, following days of violent confrontations during demonstrations over a system of allocating government jobs

I want to get a new VPS. It'll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.
I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It's fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.
I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
P.S. I'm based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.
Update: Hetzner's CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I'm planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It's great that they don't lock you in with yearly plans.
I currently run a personal wiki for some notes, recipes, and stuff. It's set up using Wiki.js as the server. I'm the only regular user, and I feel like it's a bit of an overkill.
Does someone have any suggestions for a more lightweight wiki server? I tried DokuWiki and mostly like it. But the UI is very old and dare I say, ugly. I love the UI of Wiki.js btw.
My main criteria is that it should be lightweight. I don't need fancy editing features. Happy to work with raw html or markdown files.
I need some kind of permission management to hide some private wikis from the public, but otherwise I don't really care.
My goal is to automatically close the environment while editing a tex file. There was an issue for vimtex asking for basically what I want to achieve. They achieve it using snippets as mentioned there.
The problem is, I have no idea how to set it up. I've never used snippets in nvim. I have vim-vsnip and cmp-vsnip installed as it was needed for another plugin to work. Is it possible to implement this using those?
It can be noted that in vimtex, an environment can be closed by typing ]] which is a mapping of vimtex-delim-close. I basically want to emulate the behavior in VS Code using LaTeX Workshop. It auto-closes the environment, adds an indented line in the middle, and moves the cursor there.
If anyone has any other ideas about doing this without snippets, that's welcome too.
This post is mostly for me to look at alternatives. I currently subscribe to Trade. But recently I've been hearing about their bad practices like sending packages with wrong weight, or paying very little money to the roasters.
If you like your current subscription, please place a link so that others can check it out. If you don't, and want to switch, tell why so that I can avoid it too.
For the last few months, I've been splitting a bag of coffee beans into 2-3 portions and freezing them. I've seen that it extends the freshness by a bit. Now, I've been storing them in older coffee bags (the standard sealable ones) since they take up less space than jars and also I'm just reusing something that would've gone to landfill/compost.
I do clean them of residues of older beans and don't use a bag more than 2 times since I get new bags whenever I buy beans anyway. Are there any health/quality issues that might arise from this that I should be aware of? Should I just store them in sealed glass jars instead?
I currently use TickTick for managing my todo tasks. i haven't been able to find an FOSS replacement for it yet.
The main features that I need in an app like this would be:
- It should be accessible from the desktop. Don't necessarily need an app, a website is good enough.
- It should have a decent android app with a home screen widget for listing all the upcoming and overdue tasks.
- It'll be really nice if it can interpret date and time from the task description to add reminders. For example, writing "Remind me to get some milk at 6pm" will put a reminder for that task at 6PM.
Please let me know if you know about such an app. Thanks.
