Whenever I see videos of them breaking into a fresh stream of it to collect some in a bucket, it looks less viscous than that.

(Maybe I’m just used to the bad peanut butter with the trans fats that keep it from separating, and the natural stuff is thinner?)

Literally every accredited degree program. Were you not aware that engineering degrees have writing, arts, and social studies as part of their “core” requirements (typically taken freshman and sophomore year)?

The other lesson here is that having a broad base of knowledge is useful so that you can recognize when something might be applicable to a different problem domain. Universities require all those liberal arts classes to get a degree – even a STEM degree – for good reason.

Ah, that helps answer a question I’ve been having, which is whether we’re sure the bystander was killed by the assassin or if it’s possible he was hit by return fire from the Secret Service. Being between Trump and the assassin means yes, the latter is possible.

(Maybe a definitive determination of which possibility happened has come out already, but if it has I don’t know about it.)

Barack Obama isn’t a convicted felon, insurrectionist and traitor.

C’est le probleme. Je vois !ich_iel tout le temps, mais !rance pas tellement.

LOL, they think that’s some sort of tit-for-tat response to the US Navy transiting the West Philippine Sea, which China is illegally trying to claim. But the US isn’t trying to illegally claim the entire Bering Sea for ourselves, so nobody gives a shit.

It’s cute how they think they matter.

At the start of WWII nobody even knew what Hitler was doing to the Jews/gays/Romani/etc. let alone gave a shit; other countries were forced to fight only because the Axis kept attacking them.

Geopolitically speaking, invading a country to save an internal minority from genocide is just not a thing that happens.

Oh sure, the Chagossians aren’t allowed to live there, but a bunch of Tamils who don’t want to be there are forced to stay. Makes perfect sense; good job UK! 👍 \s

It depends what aspect of colonization is important to your definition, I guess. Is it about imperialist expansion to non-contiguous territories, or is it more specifically about extracting resources from those territories for the exclusive benefit of the motherland?

At any rate, I would say that French Guiana either counts or doesn’t count as a colony of France to the same extent that Hawaii counts or doesn’t count as a colony of the United States.

INB4 the Palestinian previous residents are permanently barred from returning and it’s redeveloped for Israeli “settlers.”

It’s because that little chunk of South America is French Guiana, which is a full-fledged part of France (not just a territory, but a departement with political status equal to the ones in mainland Europe).

It’s also where the European Space Agency launches their spacecraft from, by the way.

“Europe” is just an Asian peninsula with delusions of grandeur.

Agreed, but I also feel like such a thing should be included with Flatpak by default instead of leaving it to the users to solve.

You could make aliases for each program, but I agree, there should be a way to set it up so they resolve automatically.

Bullshit.

I got a copy of Turbolinux 6 (released in 2000) from somebody at a Hamfest, but couldn’t get it to install and run.

Two years later, I was successful in running Debian and Gentoo.

That’s an Australian-American breakfast.

Sweden?! I was so sure that was gonna be Bollywood…!

I was gonna upvote you for the first paragraph, but had to rescind it for the second.
