Probably making plans that were either winnable, or had objectives, or that had to react to actual tangible threats with observable properties.
Not this.
But what if I'm *really* trapped in a hypothetical situation?
Between Hanlon and Occam's razors, this admin has me dying a death of a thousand schmucks.

The drama! The comedy! The uh, dromedary!
"All we ever wanted was our own homeland. And yours, and uh, theirs maybe? yeaaaah. and ... actually I'll just take all of them. Look, you can stay over there. Back a little? a little more, look if I uh, could just, um, not see you? that'd be great."
I run my own, and I'm still deeply skeptical - I contend the median use case is not net-positive. Utility has an implicit fitness function. What that is, should be, how we'd know - that's the dialogue that needs surfacing.
By some measures, these have been some of the most expensive hats ever.
I feel NixOS is a DIY OS construction kit. Don't usually need to install system and user level. HM is just a means, I don't use it for all user packages either. Many packages should just be in flakes where you need them, not installed at all. Rebuild should just be incremental, else caching borked?
can do home-manager, or just use something like stow otherwise. No rules!
I switch to latest dated channel after a week or two, and pull only from unstable when specifically needed. With a header like
`let unstable = import <nixos-unstable> { } in {` you can just `unstable.vicinae` instead in the packages list (or in the package option). Generations still save you!
God, I needed the laugh.
veni, vidi, ef-$!*@-fugi.
Technology has its own churches too, particularly now. We need Reason and Humanity in tandem, sadly neither are commonly things that faith and states are lauded for.
A fairly stupendous amount of what I'd certainly call 'western history' is the slow, agonizing lesson about how church and state are better separated.
Eventually, there will nothing left but the claim of exceptionalism.
*makes a note*
Remember iddt and the second iddt? so you could get enemies on the map too. I used to play it just on the map, like a top down shooter when bored ...
It apes our craft; but you need not devolve to be distinct. I dare say, should not.
I hate that I still know all this, and that there are so many other things I've managed to forget.
yay, now it's time to figure out your burn protocol.
no gpu makes full repaint expensive. But was wondering if there were actually positive performance implications available somehow.
quite. anybody who doesn't make the uh, contra-point is not doing journalism.
I'm going to get my agents to read that and make a summary for me. Then other agents can then counter-attack the article's premises for me, and they'll even do a computer thing, and put it on the internet for me. I am very clever.
And 'August' the only month-adjective, mostly just courtesy of both being eponymous.

Screenshot of a software manual, text reads: Appendix B: Beeps 4 life The default windows command-line uses a character set named Code page 437. Its historical relevance goes back to the days where Unicode wasn't yet ubiquitous.1 In the early days of butler, we were using the CP437 character 007 to display bullet points (whenever butler starts a new task). However, that particular character is also used to emit a system beep2. This was a bug, of course, but early users got attached to it. It was soothing. The bug has since been fixed, but the historical behavior can be restored by using the --beeps4life option. Note that this option is not listed in the program's inline help.
A real-life case of spacebar heating.
Peace to you all today, however you can find it.
We have nothing more to learn from more war. There was never anything there to see, just the terrors we raise against each other.
Ironically, this cheap cut was delivered by offal in a suit.
