Since I know how Unix works I know init.d is just a directory, what's in it is just script files, and they can be called by unit scripts.

Yes, exactly, they are shitting on the right way to do things because it demonstrates how there's no need for them to exist.

You still don't know what the words you are using mean, but that doesn't stop you.

Such meteorites tend to be sterilized via thousands of years drifting in space and re-entry heat. We don't know really know if such is comparable to a direct surface sample.

Now try reversing a combination over 60' into the sun.

Even just a 32' box truck with a 22' car trailer is NOT fun to reverse in those conditions.

We put big mirrors on big vehicles for real reasons. Neither your Nissan nor mine is relevant to this discussion.

Oh good. (wtf, in my list of submissions this shows as accepted, and I clearly recall participating in this discussion, but it doesn't show as accepted in the firehose and I cannot find it on the site...)

A huge amount of cargo is transported in the night in the US as well, it's just unfortunately dominated by trucking. I wasn't able to quickly find stats on how much of the volume is transported nor how many of the trucks operate at night, but I've been on the I-10 at night and it's not a small amount.

There are actually efficiencies to be had, for one thing because the night air is denser. At night they also commonly platoon.

Rail used to run along the I-10, but it was abandoned in the early nineties, and pulled up in the latter half of the same decade. It would still be a pretty easy place to run a new rail line, though. There's a whole lot of nothing along most of it.

Everyone involved choked that goose to death. The cable companies did overcharge and underdeliver, but the corporations providing them with the content were choking them in turn.

You then went on to describe something stupid: Allowing the operating system to participate in this madness in the first place. The OS is there to interface my applications to the system, not to share PII about me. Fuck all the way off with that sycophantic bullshit.

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

What sucks about Gentoo is that they move fast and break things so you can follow the instructions while using even completely innocuous USE flags and still have the install fail because some critical component doesn't build. As such you basically have to do a binary install before you can actually build your system the way you want it.

But they are not. Unit files can still call init scripts, so they are not removing support for init scripts. They are only requiring that you use unit files with them. It's too bad you don't understand what any of these words mean. Since systemd is still based on Unix and not the other way around so far, they haven't stopped scripting from working yet. Expect that in a future version.

No problem. You install it in qemu/kvm, you passthrough the PCI bridge that your ISA controller is hung off of or whatever you need to get your hardware attached to it, bing bang bong done. What's a problem is doing it with Windows 95, which still doesn't run well in any virtualized environment I've seen except sadly vmware... and older vmware at that. If your software or driver is bitchy enough to run on 95 but not 98, which is infrequently but still occasionally a thing, you're going to need to hack something up as you say. Program, driver, windows, or all three.

In the end, of course it can. It only can't in the interim. Why would you not eventually be able to substitute for all of those other factors, and create whatever gives the same flavors and textures in the lab?

It is, for him.

If the Oligarchs don't get their payout from this war, you're going to see that's not true. Money calls the shots everywhere.

You've just wholly justified open blockchains. Because paper isn't eternal and can be searched for and confiscated easier than uSD cards.

No, nor can they charge from it. It doesn't have enough power output to be useful for that. They won't have to. They only need a maximum of one charging stop per day, maybe two in some hypothetical situation where you climb all day, I'm sure there's somewhere in the world where that applies.

NO camera and screen system offers the visual clarity of a big fucking mirror. This is not even an argument to be had, this is a simple fact. The screens can do things the mirrors can't, but the opposite is also absolutely true. The mirrors are crucial, notably because they work even when the sun is down low and shining in cameras and/or on screens because you can move your head around to see something with the mirror. Adding in screens is great, I want more vehicles to have more cameras, but replacing all of the mirrors would be very bad.
