crows are omnivorous scavengers. eating other dead birds is regular crow behaviour.

a better than usual split for some families

That is exactly what counts as credit in this case, because this split is made possible by some other families crediting the bid. Basically writing “i dont want this money give it to someone else” on a figurative piece of paper and bidding with that instead of cash.

isnt the name of one of the hl2 maps “little odessa”?

That is not only not right; it is not even wrong

Many classical email clients have the option to edit the senders address while composing the email. If the mail server does not allow this you usually get an error message on sending.

You are technically correct in saying that its not a registration. Instead its a sponsoring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponsored_top-level_domain

Trying to remember what i learned in history here, i hope i get at least most of it right:

• the political institutions of the Weimar republic were not as balanced and protected from interference as in other democracies
• many parties were against the existence of the Weimar Republic
• they differed a little in what they wanted instead though, ranging from reintroducing the monarchy with a few republican elements, to full fledged socialism
• the difference between the parties made finding compromises very difficult and often resulted in stalemates in the legislative, because of missing checks this did not affect the executive as much though
• especially the monarchists liked the idea of heaving a leader that can overrule the parliament if needed and so it was easy for Hitler to get them to agree that they would all be better off with him breaking the stalemate so to speak. So they formed a coalition
• see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harzburg_Front
• Those parties also had no qualms with banning other parties just because they disagreed on something, which Hitler was very happy to do, starting with the communists and ending with a complete ban on forming political parties after every serious contender was eliminated

Do you know how many parties had members in the parliament of the Weimar Republic when Hitler was named Chancellor?
I learned in school – not sure if this part is entirely accurate but its an interesting idea anyway – that this situation was precisely why there is a ~5% of votes, lower barrier for parties sending representatives in many modern European democracies.

or … you know … logrotate exists. but i guess the extra few kB from including a logrotate binary would have been bloat.

Actually using AI gibberish for this might be the best strategy of all, since Reddit seems hell bent on making money with AI training and feeding AI generated text into AI training has been shown to yield increasingly worse results over time. So you make the product Reddit is selling less attractive.

It is a therapeutic vaccine

So what do you think when you work with HeLas?

centigrade

and he was doing so well until this abomination 😡

Do you mean oldest as in invented the longest time ago or oldest as in that specific technological artefact that i use is the oldest one i have?
For the first one i guess cooking?
For the second one its definitely my microwave oven, made in 1991.

expensive pharmaceuticals

antiretroviral meds are getting very cheap though, so not sure if that is really a valid point anymore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_HIV_treatment

There is a limit on the spacing of the colour bands though. If you want colours then you have to hit the spots where the correct phosphors are and this limits the usable resolution.

So it still uses a MSDOS partition table, interesting. This usually only happens on systems that do not support EFI at all.

Is your BIOS and main board fairly old per chance?

Ok, that looks like a fairly standard setup. I guess taking a look at the boot loader itself would be the next step. When you see the Debian bootloader you could try pressing ‘e’ to view what commands it uses internally to boot. The lines starting with “linux” and “initrd” would be most interesting.

Hi, it would be useful to know what kind of device you are installing on. For a laptop the model and make would be especially useful. If it is a PC then the drive configuration would be interesting (what kind of drive, how many etc.)

Librarians are trained to disseminate many different kinds of information and find relevant or related media and publications, because that is literally their job. This skill can be very useful in finding relevant info for checking a news story.
