EndeavourOS is nice. I've been using it for 10 months.
Only issue I had was that my windows dual boot messed up the booting. Plenty of tutorials about fixing it tho, so wasn't too hard

The MRI machine asked him for a signature, saying it has never seen such a beautiful and healthy body. The gurney clapped

To clarify, that's the collision of 2 dark matter particles.
Not the collision of a dark matter particle and something else.

researchers report that they have detected the invisible scaffolding based on gamma rays that result from the collision and resulting annihilation of two dark matter particles.

So, that's 2 particles of this unobservable (or, difficult to observe) matter interacting with eachother in an observable way.
Very cool

I'm amazed it's France before Germany.
But I'm also so happy that this is happening.
The greatest war in history and all the horrors behind it should never be forgotten/hidden/suppressed/rewritten.
Everyone commited atrocities in that war. Nobody is without stain.
Document it all, and make it all widely available

I clean my windshield if someone is too close behind.
The wind always carries some spray over the top and hits their car and they have to wipe their windshield.
It might seem petty, but seems to trigger something subconscious that makes them back off a bit.
It always seems to work

a high-risk warning from the UK’s NHS England Digital.

Huh, I didn't think the NHS would be doing security research like this

The majority of Europe survives.
Although their sockets are recessed.

I doubt it.
Tripping over a cable is as likely to damage the socket as it is to rip the cable out of the plug.
Any appliance that increases risk by being unplugged should probably not be using a consumer connection...

I think the 3 pin layout caused a lot of headaches, and the integrated fuse required a user-servicable plug.
So it would have to be a split-shell design of some type, where the appliance cable would have to be cable-gripped to the same part as the plug/socket pins.
Thus, a bottom-entry (heh) cable grip and a removable back plate that can only be unscrewed when it's unplugged.
This was all in a time of bakelite. Plastic wasn't flexible.

But no, I think tripping over an early bakelite g-type (I think it's officially a g-type) plug cable would likely shatter the plug and pull the pins out of the socket... If it didn't also damage the socket.

Heck yeh! Great work.
I think most critique has been covered.

I consider too-many-indentations to be a code smell.
Not actually an issue, but maybe there is....

There is nothing wrong with your code, and no reason to change it (beyond error catching as you have discovered). It runs, is easy to follow, and doesn't over-complicate.

I like descriptive function names and early returns (ie, throw or return on all the conditions that means this function shouldn't continue, then process the parameters to return a result).
This could massively clean up what's going on.
There could be a "getUserCommand()" that returns the desired number, or 0 if it's invalid.
If the returned value is 0, then break.
If the returned value is 6, then print values; then break.
Otherwise we know the value should be 1-5.

You could use an Enum to define the choices.
This way, the print lines and the conditional tests can both reference the enum. It also removes "magic numbers" (IE values that appear in code with no explanation).
In something simple like this, it doesn't really matter. But it improves IDE awareness (helping language servers suggest code/errors/fixes). And Makes the code SOO much more descriptive (Ie "choice == 3" becomes "choice == Choices.Product").

No, the cable comes out perpendicular to the pins (ie parallel to the wall).
Which pretty much guarantees foot-pain orientation

Yeh, bath/shower ones seem affordable.
But for a standalone sink, they seem to be significantly more.

If that threat actor is building the technology, then yeh any threat actor could.

The concern is the unknown unknowns inside the tech that might be controlled by said threat actors. So you can take all the precautions and add in resilience, but if it's all from the same threat actor then all that is moot.

So the resilience and precautions comes from buying from multiple sources. Even developing our own production for it so what's inside can be known and regulated securely

That sounds like a fantastic contribution to the fediverse.

Sounds like suspicious behaviour. So removing and even tracking that kinda crap would be some great tooling!

Perhaps an addition would be something that notifies people that interact with the deleted post/user to let them know of the deleted accounts behaviour.

I'm amazed at the comments explaining incoming water temperature fluctuations and pressures....

No no, thermostatic tap/faucet mixes waters depending on the output temperature. Ignores all of the variables except the thermal mass (I guess reaction speed) of the thermostatic system.

I think they are normally like 10x the price of a standard mixer tap tho.
So, it's a budget choice

To me:
Window seat has lack of shoulder room - bad.
Middle seat had 2 arm rests that I have to shrimp to rest my arms on - bad.
Aisle seat has 1 (bad) arm rest, but has shoulder and leg room - good.

I don't care about window seats AT ALL

How much innovation has there been in the ballpoint pen in the last decade?

Judge inflicts due process!

Ailerons are for imparting roll.
Flaps and slats are not for steering

Conjugate the verb 'to go'...
