Lie? Sure.

Are you Shor?

I see your "begging the question" and raise the question.

Due to latitudinal issues, everything that happens in Finland is cool. For instance, our babies eat your marines for breakfast.

FTFY.

It's much better to adjust the swappiness level way down: https://rudd-o.com/linux-and-f...

As you said, swap isn't needed so much, but there are still good reasons to have some around. Besides the usual graceful degradation argument, it can be particularly handy for portables as a suspend partition. However, Linux has lots of servery defaults, and the swappiness is one where a much lower value gives better response times for "desktop" uses.

As a bonus, you can experience the Blue screen of death in immersive 3D.

Ach, this reminds me of the good old "just doing my job" argument heard around the concentration campfires.

Emacs was nice, but I now prefer systemd instead.

Don't worry, it'll pass. I'd probably catch a cold too, if I spent all that time under Antarctic ice.

If 'xylitol' is hard for English speakers, it should be doubly so in Finland. We did extensive clinical research on its use against dental caries in the 1970s, and now everyone and, well, not their dog, has been using it in forms like chewing gum for a couple of decades.

However, we are notoriously bad at pronouncing foreign words. For instance, initial 'str' in words like 'strategy' ('strategia' in Finnish) is often reduced to just 'r', at least when spoken by older people with less foreign exposure. This just reflects the lack of such combinations in our native language.

I remember seeing those misc recycling bins in 2005 in the NY state, so I wondered if anything has changed since, though I guess these things don't move too fast.

Wait, you Americans still have these weird recycling bins which might as well be labeled "miscellaneous", as they still need someone to do the actual sorting? Here in the old world (.fi) we have different bins for stuff like glass and metal. There is some regional variety depending on the local market, though I've heard some of this still ends up in landfill.

Well of course I'm familiar with the back wall bounce. It probably won't work across too many reflections in weird angles. In fact, it seems that newer remotes have narrower working angles to avoid conflicts with the bazillion other receivers. The point is that light works for remotes for obvious reasons, it's really the bug that turns out a feature. It's also well known physics that higher frequencies are more easily restricted by obstacles.

It's revolutionary if

1. (a) the current generation of 20-somethings has never seen it in action, or
2. (b) Apple makes it
