The flag we're talking about was created to boost morale of the soldiers, and was only for use in battle.
But the soldiers were fighting to preserve a system of hatred, slavery, bigotry, and treason. Many of my ancestors among them. Thankfully, they lost. I don't honor the cause of my ancestors, and I am flabbergasted that anybody would.
Not to get in the way of a good rant, but Amazon does not appear to sell Nazi flags:

Nor does Walmart:

I'm not sure what a "Communist" flag is. I never knew Communism was a country.
Wow, saying the confederate flag means slavery, hatred, bigotry and treason and it gets a +5 Insightful?
[...]
Maybe the reason they fly the flag is to respect their ancestors who fought and died for what they believe in.
I think the whole point here is that their ancestors believed in slavery, hatred, bigotry and treason.
. Focusing on the flag once again ignores the real problem
Agreed. Unfortunately, the real problem is a lack of sane firearm regulations, and any talk of that is greeted with howls of outrage. Welcome to 'Murca.
yeah in the USA the rioters start wrecking stuff when they lose a football game, that's SO much more important
Well, the French do that to. Also when they win a football game.
Systemd: as bad as Hitler, or as bad as killing puppies?

Really, you should be able to cope with this sort of change. It's minor, and this isn't your site.
But you don't understand! They moved my button! It has rendered me completely helpless!
what if your OS writes program memory to unencyphered swap?
Luckily, encrypting the swap partition on Linux is trivially easy:

Only an idiot would encrypt their hard drives and not their swap partition.
We'll see if CV Dazzle becomes fashionable.
Calling the guy who came up with Scroogled a "mastermind" is a bit of a stretch, if you ask me.
Pete from Oz seems to have some 'limitations' in his own mind.
"In Bavaria the Royal College of Doctors, having been consulted, declared that railroads, if they were constructed, would cause the greatest deterioration in the health of the public, because such rapid movement would cause brain trouble among travelers, and vertigo among those who looked at moving trains. For this last reason it was recommended that all tracks be enclosed by high board fences raised above the height of the cars and engines.
Rail travel at high speed is not possible because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia."
- Dr. Dionysus Lardner (1793-1859), Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy at University College, London.
Now lets do some basic math. Suppose that you let the air in at 1/3 the speed of sound in order to protect equipment and people. Assume no friction and that the air travels down the pipe as a plug.
This is the only way you can think of to fill a tube with air? Really?
Because there's no way you could let air into the tunnel, of course.
And how quick do you want to do that?
That's a tough one.
Maybe over a span of fifteen minutes or so?
To quote from the link you so kindly supplied:
oxygen production typically lasts at least 15 minutes
Do you want to speculate how long it will take to extract people from a hyper loop capsule?
Here, let me help you.
1. Time to locate the capsule
2. Time for the Hyperloop Emergency Extraction Team to respond.
3. Time transport man lifts to the location of the capsule at some arbitrary point between the start and finish location
4. Time to safely raise those man lifts to to the height of the pipe
5. Time to safely cut through the pipe and capsule.
Because there's no way you could let air into the tunnel, of course.
One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a new model.
