Would it count as being served if bodycam shows that police handed him the papers and he gave them back or tossed them on the floor?

I sure hope they provide an accessibility option to turn down translucency to improve contrast or this UI is a non-starter for me. Without using it, this new UI looks like it may favor design over usability. Why don’t they do something more novel and let user tweak interface to their liking?

I had that recently and it went away last time on its own. Not sure what triggers it or how to fix.

Why not try low caffeine variety like Laurina? It's about 1/3 to 1/2 the caffeine of Arabica.

Plus he isn’t using oflag=direct, so since output file is small it isn’t even making it to disk. I think it would only be sent to page cache. I’m afraid he is testing CPU and memory (bus) speeds here.

oflag=direct will write direct and bypass page cache.

This would be nice to have with lesspipe.sh viewer.

It creates per-directory index files on its first run. ugrep-indexer is also labeled as beta. A couple of relevant quotes from its GitHub site:

“Indexing adds a hidden index file ._UG#_Store to each directory indexed.”

“Re-indexing is incremental, so it will not take as much time as the initial indexing process.”

ugrep+ has this feature similar to ripgrep-all.

For regular use, I use ugrep’s %u option with its format feature to only get one match per line same as other grep tools.

Overall, I’m a happy user of ugrep. ugrep works as well as ripgrep for me. It’s VERY fast and has built-in option to search archives within archives recursively.

Any thoughts on a kneeling chair and whether it would be helpful or appropriate in dealing with a herniated L4/L5 disc in my lower back? I work in front of a computer all day.
