We who care are a tiny minority.

My wife was all "ok."

For my part, Netflix is way less objectionable than Disney. Not that my family doesn't subscribe to that too. 🙄

Weed control is a fairly new thing but not an environmentally friendly thing. Maybe Japan doesn't like spraying pesticide all around.

Your picture is actually of active, well-used railroad tracks. Old unused tracks are rusty and weed-grown. If the rails are shiny it means that trains pass regularly and knock the rust off. If there's no weeds it's because the railroad actively sends out crews to maintain the tracks.

Minix! I actually went so far as to track down a copy of minix on Usenet and bought it, complete with floppy disks. But before I got around to installing it Linux became available, and I never got around to it. Can't even imagine trying to install it in a foreign language. (It would be foreign for me anyway)

Yeah I installed 1.0 from floppy disks. I was really glad to get it on CD-ROM a bit later. I probably still have those floppies around here somewhere... I wonder if they still boot? Still have my old 486 around here somewhere too, come to think of it, but I needed a custom kernel to support my SCSI card and I'm definitely not going through that pain again. (Yes I had to boot off floppy drives in order to build a kernel image to be able to install it on my hard drive.)

Probably time to get rid of it.

The animal wouldn't be alive in the first place if we weren't intending to eat it

We just use animals to pre-process our plants

So we are commanding you not to protest police, also we don't have enough police to enforce our command.

We know you're upset with the police but don't come into our police-free zone. Pretty please.

Longer I think about this the funnier it gets.
