Nah. It's giving votes to whatever politician promises to put certain regulatory regimes out to pasture. You may find that you like some of their other policies far, far less than "seeks to restrain creeping safetyism".

Presumptuous busybodying as a service.

“The Waltons”; I think. Unclear how rural Virginia in the 1930s translates into Bulgarian, must’ve been interesting.

Of the important life-lessons to have before one turns 18; "don't ever be the third or fourth owner of a Hyundai" is right up there with not eating the yellow snow.

There's no shame in being broke, of course-it is merely a catastrophe. The fourth owner of a '11 Sonata is gonna have a different outlook than the fourth owner of a '73 Mercedes 600 Pullman.

Who told you that? Unless you buy your Hyundai new, or CPO from a dealership, the powertrain warranty is 5/50.

...which AFAIK isn't transferable. IOW, used Hyundais are cheap for a reason.

Ahem:

This so isn't true, that it's not even wrong.

I imagine that an ancient roman would think "Oleum Castorum? It's either oil you get from rendering beavers, or oil you use to lube your beaver..."

Did you know anyone who owned a building that had been tagged?

If it's Oracle Tape, it's proprietary T10000-series 1/2in linear tape and associated drives, that they got when they absorbed Sun (and Sun got when they bought StorageTek). Multiple vendors made tape media for these, but they were not compatible w/ LTO tape nor the IBM 3590-series enterprise tape format.

You could use tape as a backing for Venti arenas; don't know if anyone ever did so. The original Bell Labs fileserver used an MO jukebox for WORM archives, which today LTFS tape is a pretty close approximation of.

Counterpoint: DNS isn't used enough; consider replacing sssd/AD with Hesiod.

Yeah, I almost had a heart attack the first time I saw someone do a 'cfgadm unconfigure' && 'cfgadm disconnect'; then pop open the side of a prod box, press a button and pull a card out.

"See, oracle's still running!"

Things like that used to be how one distinguished enterprise hw & sw vs. PCs w/ delusions of grandeur.

Hasenpfeffer is a German dish; per Leviticus rabbits aren't kosher.

Also see Fritz Freleng's work in 1962's "Shishkabugs": https://youtu.be/SK-cmtYrVuo?si=s4sI84cbb25J9K7F

I'm not enough of an expert in 12er Shia fiqh to say how credible they are-but they are there.

Hot swapping the failed half of a bonded NIC pair on a v880 was a treat…
