> Why do some people hate on systemd?

Perhaps because major bugs don't get fixed?

What they really need to support is .jp2 discrete wavelet transform image files https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000 .

Or they could have not shut down the 2GW San Onofre nuclear plant.

I floss, then brush, and then use a Water Pik.

You can do both (flossing with dental floss and using pressurized water to remove debris) and in the order specified, removes the most plaque.

They are already getting a half trillion US$ per year. Perhaps the Kansas Experiment needs to be repeated and confirmed before we put it next to Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history?

Seems to me like same folks who shut down San Onofre nuke plant and others like it are now complaining about the consequences of their actions and of course are attempting to shift blame to anyone but themselves.

The book Reframe Your Brain by Scott Adams has some interesting techniques to manipulate your brain. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Reframe_Your_Brain/GJqhEAAAQBAJ?hl=en

Are these substances really that bad?

What I read seems to be very vague as to what levels of exposure cause what problems (if any). https://www.epa.gov/pfas/our-current-understanding-human-health-and-environmental-risks-pfas/

My jurisdiction seems fine with putting treated wastewater right back into the drinking water supply. That is a bigger concern to me than Roundup, microplastics, talcum powder, Radon, second hand smoke, Freon, acid rain, or whatever the latest parts per billion threat to my health (and deep pockets to sue) is.

Wake me when they add JPEG 2000 support.

OK, thanks. It was when President Clinton, not President Obama was in office.

Didn't President Obama and his special peace envoy to North Korea, former President Jimmy Carter, have a negotiated agreement such that they had a pledge from North Korea not to develop nuclear weapons?

Wish I could, but it's just too dangerous. Around here when you get squished by a motorized vehicle, the driver gets a do-over and you get a grave. My government does not take reckless drivers off the road. Read this frightening expose: https://calmatters.org/investigation/2025/04/license-to-kill/

My Panasonic TV is the first HDTV (720p ?) I ever bought and it still runs fine, cold cathode fluorescent lamps and all. It was purchased from Circuit City (RIP) so it must be close to 18 years old. I use it a couple times a week.

Riding a Peloton exercise bike is such a great workout for me as I'm always motivated to compete with the other riders in the class to do my best. Every ride is a race!
