Based on the skim of their forum, they declined to support citing their desire for 1:1 binary compatibility with RHEL. AlmaLinux considered it, but the compilation costs (which also pull in EPEL) are very high. Then there is the issue of VM support, which now apparently requires some more advanced processor features. It's a heavy lift and not one that I expect Debian to maintain for much longer either.

yeah, the Iroquois held most of the land of present day New York State and inhabitable parts of Ontario and Quebec provinces.

It means "Great Lake" in their language - the one their nation surrounded.

However, let's not be trolled by Trump and Google who are both fighting a losing war for foreign interests and want us distracted from $7 diesel.

I just went shopping and the $30 can of shellac primer I usually get is $95 now. Imported ingredients.

Cholesterol is not one molecule.

A lot of your brain is made of types of it.

Complex systems involving certain light ldls and other factors can ultimately result in inflammatory blockages.

The two populations with the highest life expectancy are Hong Kong and Macau.

They also have the highest per capita consumption of meat.

Again, it's a complex system but "eat plants to live long" is disproved.

Comment Here's the reality (Score 5, Insightful) 42

The reality is that the US has never really cared about making public education good, at least not in a long time.

The politicians under-fund public education and talk trash about teachers (while definitely sending their kids to private schools) leaving the public system ripe for exploitation by corporations that promise money and shiny things.

Comment Numbers without percentages (Score 2) 194

Obviously NYT is just about narrative construction but it would be nice to know some figures like:

* what is that in percentage of researchers?
* and grants
* how many are typical in a year?
* what is the net in each direction for this time period?
* and for a typical year

I happen to know rwo researchers who got a position in Canada and several Canadians who got positions at US schools. That just seems normal from my limited perspective but maybe it's just because I feed them Molson and poutine so they keep coming around.

Remember, numbers given without percentages and percentages given withouts without numbers are always propaganda.
