Blue lights suck. Yellow lights suck. White lights (6000K full-spectrum) are good, but more expensive and harder to find.

Perl users don’t have souls.

Different etymology of “tit”, that one is from “teat”.

“Tit” and “mouse” in English both come from words that mean “small”. “Titmouse” is “smallsmall”.

It’s a Barn Swallow, not a Peregrine. Closer, faster horizontally, and smaller. I’ve got a few Peregrine photos, though none I’m particularly happy with yet.

Please no. I like my kidneys. The next lens up in quality is over $15,000.

If you want to save money, don’t get into bird photography as a hobby. Gear Acquisition Syndrome is fatal to your wallet.

Timbits. English Canadians have Timbits. Those aren’t just doughnut holes, they’re Tim Horton’s doughnut holes.

I’ve seen monthly AWS bills bigger than that, every time I look at the damn dashboard.

Some salts smell. Table salt (what’s pictured in the meme) doesn’t have a detectable smell in solid form, not enough vaporizes to notice. Smelling salts are ammonium carbonate, not sodium chloride like table salt, and they do smell strongly. “Salt” can refer to either table salt or to any ionic compound whatsoever. The latter is chemistry jargon, but then gets used in colloquial terms like “smelling salts” or “salty licorice” neither of which have table salt but both of which have other ionic compounds.

I’dv deleted the default, it’s never come back.

A thousand Roman paces. A pace is two steps, each about 1m, so 1mi is about 2km. The conversion from paces to meters isn’t exact, and definitions have shifted over time.

Used it for the last few years. X just doesn’t work right with multiple monitors of different resolution.

You wouldn’t end up at a login screen, you’d end up in the last logged in user’s session.

Not directly, but they improve the low-power modes substantially, and using the low-power modes for longer times is the solution. Inverters aren’t strictly needed, but they do make it better.

I said nothing about safety. I just said it should be considered a different class of vehicle if it meets certain characteristics. SUTs are great for camping, for hauling surf boards & kayaks (possibly with a rack) and tow just as well as pickups. They don’t have a full-size bed, so they’re worse at most jobs, though the larger cab does mean they can carry more workers at once. It’s a trade-off: get worse at most work-related tasks, get better at personal tasks and thus reach a wider market.

At what point does it become ok to have an open bed?

When the distance from the back of the truck to the front of the bed is longer than the distance from the back of the cab to the front of the truck, it turns from a Sport Utility Truck into a Pickup Truck. Typically that’s around when the bed gets big enough to haul a sheet of plywood or drywall safely.

Of course it’s OK to have an SUT instead of a pickup truck, just not as useful for construction work.

People use computers to accplish tasks. That requires running software on an OS, but nobody runs software or an OS just to sit & watch it exist. They run it to accomplish tasks.

Different distros mostly vary in how easy it is to accomplish various tasks. No one distro is the easiest for everything, so people make different choices depending on their needs.

Eh, as a weirdo who uses Celsius a lot but lives in Buffalo, NY…

-20s is cold. Coat, gloves, scarf, & hat. Long underwear. Not too much evaporation from the lake since it can freeze, so not much snow.
-10s is chilly. Coat, probably zip it up towards the lower end of the range. Decent chance of apocalyptic snow.
0-10s is cool. Wear a sweater.
10s is nice. Maybe consider long sleeves & pants if it gets a bit cooler.
20s is shorts & t-shirt weather.
30s is all AC, all the time. Uncomfortably hot not too far into the range.
40s is “the humidity is now so high the air is soup, filled with mosquitoes”.
