What, you just go through life not daring people to try it? His long hair says: "See what happens. I dare you."

The text on a Twix wrapper runs in the same direction as the Twix inside, so it's better to say they're top and bottom Twix - otherwise it's ambiguous based on the direction of the packaging.

Also, for double blind experimentation, she shouldn't know whether it's a left or a right.

You should get hyped for my upcoming light novel:

I Wrote a Light Novel on my Smart Phone About an OP Protagonist, and I Teleported Into the World of my Novel, but Because I was Someone Other Than the Protagonist, I Died Immediately.

I'm done writing all two chapters, now I just need to find a publisher that recognizes genius when I stare them in the face.

It takes way longer than that for me to share my opinions. The Earth should be rotated at least 30-40 degrees.

I once forgot to install the Linux package when I was installing Arch on a system. Linux even let's you not use Linux, if you like.

It didn't boot.

The browser warning appears even for a cert issued by a non public CA you have told your browser to trust, and most browsers already enforce a 398 day limit, so unless you have cooperative users, you're already (effectively) capped at 1 year of validity.

Most browsers do this for certs with a lifetime longer than 398 days issued after 2020, which is one aspect of why so many websites use a 1 year validity period for their certs.

If I were a government, I'd be afraid of French traditions, too.

I can't tell whether you're agreeing or disagreeing with the comment you're responding to. This appears to be a bale with a 4 foot width, and a 4 foot diameter, based on the cybertruck's bed dimensions. That's probably under half a ton. Still "heavy" (I can't pick one up), but even the cybertruck is capable of hauling far more weight than that.

Only about 10% of the working population in the US is in manufacturing, so 20% more people that would want to work in manufacturing is quite a lot. It's impossible to undo the automation that has happened to date, though. Worse, if more people work in manufacturing, the pressure on wages and the pressure to automate can both increase.

Even if we stop all imports and make every finished good purchased in the US here, it's far from enough to bring us back to the historic levels of employment in manufacturing.

Firewood drying in the sun appeals to me, but it's generally a quite mild smell. If there's a breeze, it probably is undetectable.

We used to have good, strong open source tools made out of C (which is a lot like steel - it can only be worked by blue collar computer nerds with muscly brains). Now that steel core is corroding because of the influence of hackers and other white collar computer sorts with their creative problem solving, and unintended uses of memory.

That new corrosion is called rust, and it eventually appears on every C project that's left outside, unless someone comes along to brush it off occasionally.
