My mom didn’t hyphenate, but she does include her maiden name when writing her full name, after her middle name. It never even occurred to me that that’s uncommon.

Why not just make “raging feminist” louder?

Perhaps the same could be said of all religions.

Even if Sisyphus is infinite and the boulder is infinite, they can be accommodated within an infinite space.

But not if they’re uncountably infinite.

Fortified with essential salts.

but it seems too good quality to be custom work and is definitely an official controller.

Custom official controllers are a thing.

That’s Shreking at your enemies.

Love Demetri Martin.

But the real story is weirder: the color is named after the fruit. Prior to the 16th century it was “yellow-red”.

Do you also believe that the Democratic Republic of North Korea is a democracy just because the name says so?

I used to use a system that was perfectly happy to let you use a semicolon when setting the password, but then login would fail if you did.

Well, it is where everybody gets off…

As Norwegian race driver Petter Solberg once said, “it’s not the fart that kills you, it’s the smell”.

“Smell”, of course, being Norwegian for crash.

Depends on the distro. Some have a configuration setting to allow unfree software or not, others have separate repos.

A similar argument is what finally caused the value of the vi family of editors to click in my brain:

They are designed to be fully functional over even the shittiest possible* remote connection. You can’t always count on ctrl, alt, or even the arrow keys being transmitted in a way that is understood by the remote machine.

*Well, I guess the worst possible terminal would be something like an actual teletype, and in that case you’d probably want to fall back to ed or its descendants. To save paper, if nothing else.
