My day is filled with multiple problems where I have to persists over days and months, why shouldn't I shortcut a selected few? Doesn't affect persistence negatively. On the contrary: I have more time to persist on fewer and don't have to switch context as often.

Sanction Deloitte Cyprus: don't ever except any paperwork from them again. "Sovereign state", my ass...

Is that Nick derived from "St. Petersburg"?

Would be the most Russian thing to do.

Just _two distinct_ meals and such a vast conclusion? Yeah... is that even science?

It's on par with "nutrition science" stating that potatos should be left out of meals, all the while you could _provable_ live the longest with just potatos (don't try it, just means the least deadly deficits).

Close to worthless.

"generally regarded as safe” (Gras) -- obviously thought out while smoking too much of it.

WSL is getting better, even with minor releases. It's the only reason I didn't switch my most recent corporate provided laptop.

Sadly the rest of Windows 11 suffers from those unasked, opt-out feature drops. Unbearable. So, I'll go pure Linux again.

Been there. Waited more than three years for a host to be properly accessible within a hospitals network. Project related.

Since then I think medical data science is mainly a waste of tax payer's money.

Ups :-) My bad.

Anyway, time to listen to both.

Oh wow, "OK Tokyo"'s predecessor.

I think I bought the "A Lesson In Crime" EP a long time ago, because a song from it got me hooked during a Michel Gondry movie?

Never bothered to look for their roots. Cool pointer! Thanks.

If you buy a bunker, it seems more sane to justify it.

Hope? Hope doesn't need a bunker.

Zero visible experience with CL on top of a project list where half of the links give a 404. Others are unmaintained slop output. Sprinkled with Paul Graham references and the Harvard badge.

Sorry, I'm not impressed. How did that /run/ to the top of HN? [pun intended]

"Vorschusslorbeeren"? A clique of voters?

Boring.

Would have been nice to properly isolate the bazillion ufw users too.

Pretty strange article considering all the Docker shortcomings.

How is anything from the UK sovereign regarding the US? The UK at times is just barely sticking out the ass of the US.

Anything by the Five Eyes is useless in that context.

But he, his clan and all sycophants made a ton of money already. What more? Make everyone's life even more miserable? Gold plate even more useless stuff?

Can they just sodd off to a remote island with a golden palace? /Mars/ would be a good place. "One way ticket" playing as part of the OST. Shoot the whole clique with a lot of gold bars to the red planet.

Since when is bullying other countries alright? Those are strategic reserves for real emergencies. To keep the show going _at all_.

What a fucking narcistic war monger clique.
