Frankly eating in all the time was a net positive, I’m in the best shape of my life

Eating out is a lot better for me after I moved to Italy, so there is that. And living in Italy and having to make do with my own cooking would be Very Sad. But yeah, context matters a lot. The Italians took this stuff very seriously the first time around and vaccination rates were really high when I was neaurotically tracking it. I should look up the annual booster rate.

I don’t know where you are, but I’d be less comfortable in an air conditioned eatery in Texas than outside a restaurant in Rome (where I was at the height). And with the current numbers I should probably start avoiding crowds and recirculated air again.

I’m fine with never eating out again.

Yeah, that would be a severe degradation of life for me, so that’s a no-go unless the probabilities shift back to where they were in 2020-22ish.

Are you waiting for something to change or will you do this for the rest of your life?

I stopped when we had as much vaccine protection as we were going to get and the virus wasn’t causing quite as severe disease any more. Forever is a long time.

Wait, wasn’t that superseded by links and then links2 like 20 years ago?

That’s just his taxoplasma communicating with your taxoplasma. Nothing to worry about.

The EU has declared Twitter and a few others to be gate-keepers and they will now be held to a higher standard. But I don’t think the EU is going to use this power to save US democracy.

They are covered by the “one of” part of the sentence. And the current Greek democratic system is not old in the sense that the US system is old.

Greek democracy has also been far from continuous, if we want to take that into account.

34th Rule of acquisition.

Well played

Correct. But if we stop blowing money on Orban and his cronies, then it can be sent to Ukraine instead.

Noice. That makes €10.8billion for Ukraine.

If only your dad had had this pill

You can probably update the, search url template for Google in the Firefox settings to go to the Web tab. Or make a new one and make it default.

It’s like letting auto complete always pick the next word in the sentence without typing anything yourself. But fancier.

In your analogy, they never even put the photos in the trash can. They just put a postit on them saying “don’t show to user”. Then the updated software forgot about the postits (and started to post tits).

Here guys, have this banana 🍌 reward for a civil and informative discussion thread.

Yeah, happily using Tidal as well. Haven’t missed any music that wasn’t also missing from Spotify, so…

It was. I think I used CDE very briefly on some Sun workstations back around the kde 1.x times. But lowly undergrads mostly got ttys and not X terminals.

Yeah, that would work.

Is gnome claiming to be older than kde? 'cause it isn’t. Gnome was started because decades ago, the license for the qt library used by kde wasn’t quite open enough.
