Beard, not mullet.

Anxiety stopped having nearly so much of a hold on me when I realized that there usually wasn’t a “why”, that it was just anxiety chasing its own ass and only pretending to have anything to do with the stimuli.

I’m for ending the war through a unilateral surrender of Russian forces and the trial of Mr Putin for crimes against humanity. However, my opinion doesn’t have a lot of influence over whether that happens.

Similarly, I’m for ending the war in Gaza through the voluntary disarmament of Hamas, the repudiation of terrorism as a way of life, the handover of illegal settlements to displaced Palestinian Arab civilians, and the prosecution of Netanyahu for treason and war crimes. But I don’t expect to get to make that decision either.

No. Homemakers objected, exceptions were passed, and then the ban was rescinded about a month later.

If you’re looking for commercial games on Linux, Steam has pretty much solved this with the “Steam Play” compatibility feature, which uses a customized version of WINE to run Windows games. For example, Baldur’s Gate 3 runs perfectly. It should work anywhere Steam does.

It means ten days.

Wiktionary seems to disagree.

But tenday is a good word for that.

In today’s example of a garden path sentence …

Ubuntu on Desktop I can understand.

Not anymore. A whole extra, unneeded, proprietary, locked-in package system. Ads in the default install.

There’s Mint, Pop!, and plenty of other options that actually respect the user.

“The Electric Company” came on TV, so of course we were dancing around the TV in excitement … and knocked it over. Crash!

When I was in middle school around 1990, my family lived in military base housing, and there was a “teen center”. It had a TV, stereo system, some arcade games¹, and a snack bar. It hosted dances on weekends; with one night designated for the middle-school crowd and one for the high-school crowd.

¹ “Red wizard shot the food!”

Remember SOAP? Remember XML-RPC? Remember CORBA?

Those were not very good.

Good public art.

A war crime occurred when Hamas put a military installation in a civilian hospital.

Once that happened, attacking the hospital to get at the military base is not itself a war crime.

You might wish it was, but that’s not what the law says.

If you allow comments at all, you are gonna get spam. That spam will range from “please buy good vitamins from my holy web site” to horribly illegal eye-destroying things.

I always thought video games got the term from pilots, and pilots got the term from the control stick’s resemblance to an erect penis.

21st century, meet 18th century; apparently the Barbary Wars come around again but on a different corner of Africa?

Every time I read the name “Donald Tusk” I imagine a walrus in Donald Duck’s sailor suit.

Sure is a better image than the Donald we got over here.

Fascists crash economies. Despite what the Marxists will tell you, fascism is terrible for capitalism. The only way fascists are ever able to show a profit is by stealing the gold out of people’s teeth.

Well no, the Netanyahu administration has been propping up Hamas to keep the Palestinian Authority weak and incapable of resisting illegal settlements. Illegal settlers are a big part of Netanyahu’s base.

There is no Palestinian genocide. If the Israeli government wanted to commit a genocide, they would be doing it a lot more effectively. After all, there are many ethnic Palestinians who are Israeli citizens; if there was a Palestinian genocide, those people would be getting killed, efficiently and systematically. They’re not.

Netanyahu is a traitor to the state of Israel for funding an antisemitic terrorist organization, Hamas.

It is unfortunate that Hamas likes to hide military operations in hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings. There’s a really good reason that international law forbids that sort of thing — because doing that makes hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings legitimate military targets.
