I did say fancy.

Aren’t sqilte files themselves (like most other things) just fancy text files?

CUPS is probably the print server you’re thinking of.

Sometimes I get a particular kind of headache. Listening to loud music with heavy bass can help ease the headache. Singing along to my playlist of songs I might sing at karaoke from my belly loudly also can help ease the pain a bit. So yes, I guess it can be relaxing.

If you can remove the alcohol from any “cocktail” and still have more than just flavored ice or a dirty glass, you were drinking slightly alcoholic mocktails the whole time.

Old Fashioned mocktail is a cherry on top of a large ice cube that you’ve used to bludgeon some sugar and an orange.

A Sazerac mocktail is akin to an empty glass someone just drink a sweet lemony drink from. You don’t get the lemony drink, just the dirty glass.

A margarita mocktail is salty lime flavored ice. This is basically a daquiri mocktail too, adding a strawberry seems popular.

A Manhattan mocktail is a sweetened cherry in an otherwise empty glass.

A mojito mocktail is a bit more substantial, minty sugar water with a hint of lime.

A mint julep mocktail, again just minty sugar water.

A white Russian mocktail is just a glass of cream over ice.

A mimosa mocktail is just a nearly empty glass of orange juice.

The non-alcoholic parts of a cocktail are rarely more than a quarter of the volume if they’re made properly. Most cocktails are a half oz of sugar water and a citrus flavor. The other 2/3 of the volume (not counting the ice) is alcohol. Just order a soda, soda water (with or without a garnish), tea, or my favorite a Topo Chico and lime.

The USA does not produce agricultural products in a vacuum. We live in a time of global markets requiring global intelligence to support the decisions of local agriculture. The war in Ukraine has been a pretty clear lesson on that topic.

Also, the US has a history of building and supporting infrastructure projects that are global in reach and benefit, even if they were executed with American interests first. This mostly takes the form of global scientific data products made public. GPS is another high profile project originally designed to benefit the U.S. and later made publically available not just to U.S. citizens and interests, but globally public.

Why do they do it? Obviously because the U.S. is an evil empire bent on global dominance and destruction. /s

I’m just curious how much RAM you think that is.

Docker compose is just a setting file for a container. It’s the same advantage you get using an ssh config file instead of typing out and specifying a user, IP, port, and private key to use each time. What’s the advantage to putting all my containers into one compose file? It’s not like I’m running docker commands from the terminal manually to start and stop them unless something goes wrong, I let systemd handle that. And I’d much rather the systemd be able to individually start, stop, and monitor individual containers rather than have to bring them all down if one fails.

This is why the field of actuarial science exists. I bet whomever is insuring these businesses would be interested in all of these management attitudes and business practices.

I’d hazard a guess that financial impacts of reduced performance as a result of this torturous schedule pale in comparison to the cost due to injuries.

I’ve recently had to work a couple of overnight shifts when I was overwise working basically dawn to dusk. Staying awake isn’t that hard. Getting real sleep becomes the struggle. What surprised me though was the vertigo, constant low grade nausea, and dizziness that disappeared after a normal full NIGHT’s rest. I may feel like a night owl sometimes, but my body does not agree.

You don’t need to get too complicated with scripts if you let Picard do all the tagging and renaming. In my experience it works pretty well with the default out of the box configuration. Just don’t try to do your whole library at once, just go album by album and check each one is matching with the correct release. I was in the same boat about a decade ago and did the same, just a few albums a day getting tagged and renamed into a fresh music directory. And of course, make a backup first, just in case.

Lately I’ve been going through this process again because I messed up configuring Lidarr and many files got improperly renamed. Since they were all still properly tagged, fixing them has been easy, especially with Picard. I haven’t really bothered to find all the stray files yet (they’re still roughly in the right location) because Plex ignores the paths and just reads the tags so the misnamed files aren’t even noticable in Plex

Have you never flown?

That is a creative way to leverage their work. I like it.

This is it. Modern planners use GIS and data analytics to place new stores. In my region Publix and Starbucks are a common thing and usually going for similar demographics, so it’s not unusual to often see them in the same shopping plaza. Similarly dollar stores, Walmarts, and Dunkin’ Donuts always seem to find a place in the same neighborhoods too (in my experience). Those Dollar & Dunkin’ neighborhoods almost never have a decent grocery either.

The problem is that while on its face the question seems reasonable it quickly becomes more and more absurd the longer you consider it.

ANY online account could be considered social media these days by the prevailing overly broad definitions used. Email? Amazon? ISP subscriber? Newspaper subscription? Cloud storage? Image hosting? Online diary? Tech support forum? Teams account through work? Almost universally they all either include social media components or could be defined as such by the overly broad definitions common today. The question has about as much meaning as asking if the juror has ever used the Internet at all.

Oh yeah, it was a recommendation. Having just picked up a stack of old SciFi pulp (Clifford Simak paperbacks this time), I’m gonna guess that our tastes align enough that you might like it. It is weird though and the character switching is a bit more intense. Not just the perspective changes, the whole writing style drastically changes and even the syntax changes to suit each character.

Flashbacks of Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying.

Somehow I get what you’re saying, but the grammar of that sentence is going to give English teachers a stroke.

That implies immigrants don’t count as people.
