How many food banks have the supplies to meet the needs of such a large influx? SNAP beneficiaries and federal workers are having to go to food banks

Do they though? Many whales can hold their breath for an extremely long time

Although it's often not strictly holding their breath so much as holding a massive amount of oxygen in their blood stream

Last place I lived had an incident where a driver taking a left turn ran onto the curb and over a rather obese guy. Driver decided to try and flee, but his front tires were off the ground on account of the guy he just ran over

So the driver did what many drivers do: Rocked the car back and forth to get away. Got off the guy after a couple tries and ran off. Coroner's report stated his medical opinion was the victim would have lived if the driver had stopped the car and helped, and that the victim died due to organ damage suffered from the rocking back and forth

The driver was sentenced to ~9 months in jail, out after ~6 months. His license was suspended for a year. People like that should never drive again, but he argued without a license, he couldn't work and if he can't work, he won't be able to pay the civil penalties to the victim's family (spoiler: He won't be able to pay them either way)

My second grade teacher claimed multitasking is impossible

Screw you Ms. McDaniels, I'm a GM Starcraft player. How's that for multitasking??

I'm just giving you shit as someone who is finally kicking their Windows addiction

Have you tried gaming on Pop yet? I've heard it works pretty well. I went with CachyOS to replace my last Windows box since games were the only reason I kept it around. Not absolutely loving Arch/Pacman yet though...

I'm not trying to gatekeep or anything. It's just to me like pineapple on pizza or socks with sandals are to other people: A crime against humanity worthy of the death penalty

For the record, I'm a staunch supporter of pineapple on pizza and socks with sandals, and I'd support pardoning anyone guilty of either crime

In IPv4, there is no way to indicate which octet is being skipped. Think of the address 127.0.69.69, which we'll use the equivalent of 1270:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:6969:6969 in IPv6 (yes, I realize that address space doesn't make sense. It's just for illustration)

In IPv4, you cannot shorten 127.0.69.69 to 127.69.69. The assumption with 3 octets is that the last two have been merged into one. 127.69.69 would be equivalent to 127.69.0.69

In IPv6, this ambiguity is removed. Double colons are used to indicate missing zeros. 1270::6969:6969 is equivalent to the above IPv6 address. Double colon simply pads out the address at that point until it is the correct length. I seem to recall some other interesting features of it, but I don't use IPv6 enough to remember them exactly

Ninja edit: There is also a bit of weirdness in IPv4 because it's not technically white space expansion as (I think) it is in IPv6. It's just putting multiple bytes into a single octet. That's why 127.257 or 127.0.257 would both resolve to 127.0.1.1

I would guess they're just trying really hard to avoid triggering Trump's wrath. A discrimination lawsuit is comparatively small to the devastation you can get from running afoul of the most powerful dictator in history

Not only could the school and state potentially lose all federal education funding, but Trump may go after the school administrators personally. He's been rather successful lately at going after anyone he disagrees with. Political opponents like Comey and Bolton. Judges like the Oregon one that blocked the National Guard deployments, or the immigration judges that refused to simply dismiss asylum cases without hearing them. Even just random individuals that happen to be negatively mentioned on Fox News have been increasingly under extra-judicial attack by the president

America is now a nation by, and for, Trump

If we were talking about an adult, I'd agree. To an 8th grader, the idea of playing on the girl's team as a boy probably sounds like the world is ending

This isn't a trans issue. It's an absurd bureaucracy failing to function because of political incontinence

When you're doing it matters a lot too. It was much easier before, but now that gender is a huge political football the process has been mucked up

This is the first time I've ever heard of him. Looks like he's a candidate for US senate out of Maine. Article I read said he had the tattoo altered/covered up, and he's endorsed by Bernie. Everything I'm seeing indicates you're correct that it's not actually an issue

I'm still not watching a 50 minute video about a senate candidate on the other side of the country

One idea might be to update the platform to “zombie” a post when its author deletes it, leaving it exactly where it is, but removing the author.

How would someone remove something that should be removed? I have accidentally commented on the wrong post, and that should be removed. I think we have to trust our users at least a bit, although it may be a good option to give users the ability to delete a post/comment or simply remove them as the author

I'm not watching a 50 minute long video. Can I get a TL;DR?

No, this has been a part of IPv4 for a very long time. The behavior is defined here. There are also differences in how the collapse white space, primarily in that IPv6 can collapse multiple zero sections

While many systems support these funky IPv4 address formats, not all do. It's a bit of a quirk in that intimate knowledge of IPv4 addressing has largely been lost. If you search for validating IPv4 addresses on StackOverflow, most answers will simplistically check for 4 octets between 0 and 255

The only place I've seen these IPv4 address formats be relevant in the last 10 years is in security. If you're using a block list to block specific IP addresses (which is pretty dumb to do these days), you have to account for someone sending a request with their IP address in hex, octal, or shortened formats. If you block 127.69.69.69 (yes, I know that's a loopback), and are getting a request from 2135246149, will your block list recognize it as a blocked address? Many won't, but that's something you have to engineer for from a security perspective

I don't think that's a productive method of discussion. Why attack them as a person instead of pointing out the aspects of history you think contradict them?

In my opinion, RHEL did play an important part in enterprise adoption of Linux, although I think they're heavily overplaying that

Arguing Chrome broke Microsoft's browser monopoly is incorrect. Firefox was the one to break it. The fact early Chrome was largely built on Firefox, by former Mozilla developers is good evidence of it, but also as a person that lived through that time, Firefox was much more popular during the decline of IE

One of the only people I've heard actually recommending the military. Maybe it's a generational difference, but all my friends in the military absolutely do not recommend it. We'd throw a DD214 party every time one of them got out

The only person I know who is more positive about it was medically discharged after ~15 years. Despite loving his time in the Marines, he doesn't recommend it to anyone, and wouldn't ever allow his kids to join when they get old enough because of how much he got fucked up from it

It's a contagious disease. Russian influence played a large part in Trump's rise to power. Russian propaganda has been running rampant in the US for over a decade now

It doesn't make much difference for you, but this isn't religious fascism. They're fascists that occasionally use religion as a tool

The difference is they don't answer to religious leaders. The fact the pope is openly criticizing JD Vance, a Catholic, with no change in policy shows this. It also means the fundamental motivations of government leaders is greed and power, rather than religion
