I’ll be super chill to hang out with in my palace, while my Grand Vizier takes care of day to day business.
This is a delight, and you are correct. That said, in the spirit of this silly thread, I provide solutions, below:
If I buy a house worth 950000, would I only be allowed to save 50000.
Yes. It will be time to get some roommates.
- what about if the house increase in value so that it is worth 2 million, should I just accept that I loose 1 million?
Yes. Or rather, exactly half of the house. Time to rent a storage unit, and put up some tarps to divide the entryway.
What about stocks?
Better sell some.
Inflation or Deflation, when/how will you update that limit?
Cost of living increases have long been understood and easy enough to calculate.
But - when I’m global leader, COLA for millionaires will only start after exactly as many years as the local minimum wage went without updates.
A college class introduced me to “The Birth of a Nation” aka The Clansman: A Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan
Did you enjoy it?
Fuck no. It is a deeply messed up racist pile of shit.
It certainly opened my eyes to it’s place in history.
Since the film itself is best left to the trash heap of forgotten awfulness, here’s two points from Wikipedia that feel worth remembering:
I grew to love Linux because I was hating Windows, I don’t hate Windows because I love Linux. And I don’t want to hate Windows, I wish they were slowly becoming anti-user, but they keep adding (forcing) features that are so unfriendly to the user.
Yes. If Windows was still like Windows XP, I don’t know if I would have ever switched. It used to be fun, not soul sucking.
There’s lots of other reasons I’m glad I switched, of course.
I find the windows update and Linux graphical updater processes identical. They only diverge at the end when the Windows one fails with a mysterious error message and offers to retry or open a troubleshooter that won’t work.
Windows arguably is, indeed, two or three different systems stapled together. There’s the C code kernal bits, the .Net runtime higher level bits, and the Electron “this didn’t need to be fast anyway and we only knew how to write JavaScript” bits.
until it came time to install new software.
That is the big giveaway. I used the term “It’s free” too many times when setting up software for them. “I used to have to pay for all of that.”
I always hard code IPv4 addresses. Load balancing and DNS resolution are an admission of weakness.
(This is sarcasm. WTF Steam?)
“Does this salary offer from Google look fair to you?”
Linux Mint is so nice.
I would turn off “Secure Boot” in BIOS before doing the upgrade.
It officially works, but can throw in unnecessary challenges - and Mom probably isn’t traveling with national secrets next week anyway.
kindness seems pretty exclusive to white people.
I suppose big portions of history would nod quietly at this, if they could.
With maybe a clarifying note that the real goal was classism, and racism was just a convenient way to achieve more classism.
THANK YOU. I AM PLEASED TO JOIN THIS DISCUSSION AMONG FELLOW NON-ROBOTS.
" ((Candidate who Lost)) ((Previous Election Year))" bumper stickers after it has been a few years.
It feels needlessly divisive.
Although I saw a “Bob Dole '96” in the wild recently, and I kind of grudgingly admire that level of procrastination.
Tbf, the tsp by default I believe throws your money in a G fund which is basically bonds iirc.
Most funds now default to a “target retirement date” type of fund that correctly offers stocks early and moves into bonds later.
Pen and paper is great for whenever I can’t get my hands on a chisel and rock wall.
This is the way.
please stop taking absolutely everything as a permanent debate.
But I think there’s a case to be made that everything is a permanent debate. Let me just paste a quick wall of text here on the topic…
Sorry. Just trying to make you laugh. I will see myself out.
and the internet (in the current form) never gets developed.
based on my recent online shopping experiences, we may get there, soon.
It feels like nobody knows how to Java a Script anymore.
What language is the CLI written in?
Yes, running a CLI from inside a container can be a pain, but it’s not a big deal for the people asking.
I would just provide a trivial Dockerfile and see if anyone uses it.
