They have a concept of quitting.

You're being pedantic enough to say it was not hypersonic

That's not what OP was saying at all. He/she was pointing out calling the $100 in your pocket a "partial $1000" is just silly. So instead of saying "partial orbit" , the author should have I stead said "sub-ortial flight". Their words, not mine - although I do agree. The tendency for journalists to over-exaggerate anybody's claims is infuriating.

This is something I really don't get in the US. How is it that a judge in one state/area/circuit whatever can make a decision that affects the entire nation? Having a bunch of courts spread around the place that people can cherry pick from to get the result they want seems so arbitrary.

Not to mention Trump's "sharpie realignment" of Israel's border during his last term. These people have rocks in their heads if they thought this was going to go any other way.

But on the plus side, dumb people actively infect themselves and get removed from the gene pool.

Yeah? Are more than 71 million people protesting? If so, where the fuck were you on Tuesday? And if not, well, I understand you don't like the election result but this isn't going to achieve anything.

Fuck, if only the road was clear BEFORE the election..

Even better, the state government STILL subsidies these private companies that now own once-public property. I am so fucking sick of every bill I get being about $200 before counting any usage I may have had. This is simply not sustainable, and would be easily fixable if all utilities were state-owned.

Assuming Trump is the turkey in this instance.

[–] dellish 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This is probably more valid than some think. Trump and his cronies are a clear threat to the country and must be eliminated before the damage is done.

You're right. The sentiment more comes from the power the USA weilds globally vs the massive responsibility the population don't seem to realise they have. If anything, the dumb motherfuckers will be the countries that keep allowing the USA to have this power while clearly the population - and by extension the new president - don't take this responsibility seriously.

I'm lucky. I don't live in Palestine or Ukraine, both of which are all but guaranteed to be fed to the wolves. It's heartbreaking to watch the complacency of a population who think the price of eggs is worth more than thousands of people's lives. But here we are.. and we're angry.

I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

[DB]

type = alias

remote = Dropbox:/

but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?

 

Apart from Australia getting completely ripped off, I am wondering if anyone had any insight into why they're paying almost $500 million for an aircraft that is worth about a fifth of that amount. This has got to be a continuation of the hilarious AUKUS joke that's been played on them, correct?
