I read “OpenOffice” and was very confused too, but eventually my brain caught up. Now I’m just bemused.

I email them to myself.

So … not ESA, the European Space Agency, founded in 1975 then.

Elections generally tilt one way or the other based on fractions of a percentage of the vote, in fact, a single vote can be the difference.

So, if two candidates are evenly matched, it’s possible that a whole state can go one way or the other based on just a few votes.

Note that this is not specific to the USA and I’m in Australia.

As far as “elections” go where there’s only one choice, that’s not an election but a dictatorship and from where I’m standing, the USA is heading in that direction at a breakneck speed.

Good question.

I’m not sure if anyone has created a list. There’s several Wikipedia articles about SDR, including comparison lists, but AFAIK they don’t have pricing information.

I’m astonished at the lack of access controls within the bank.

Basic habit to get into:

If you’re contemplating doing something destructive, do a dry-run first.

In this case, remove the -delete flag, run the command and see what you get.

A good approach is to build a command step by step and test your assumptions each iteration.

Things might take a few moments longer, but one day it’s going to save your bacon.

As for unexpected globbing, learn the difference between quoted and unquoted, and single versus double quotes.

Tax. The. Rich. Billionaires.

At just over 5p per message, that’s pretty much part of the marketing budget.

Seems to me that a fine of that nature represents a solid return on investment rather than a distinctive to do more of it.

I figured that a good percentage of the delivery robots would simply “disappear” from the map and be rebirthed as battle bots in some arena with chainsaw accessories.

For the same reason that they’re targeting Australia, money. Apparently they feel that they’re not making enough of it, so now they’re withholding specific drugs and calling it “a commercial decision”.

In Australia certain drugs are available under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme which is essentially the Government negotiating prices with suppliers and subsidising the sale to patients.

The pharmaceutical companies have been yelling about this for years trying to frame it as anti-competative.

In Australia with universal healthcare, that doesn’t fly.

Nice!

The pedophiles that were voted in by their constituents.

Responding to what I thought was a genuine question with what I thought was a genuine answer.

Technically that’s already the case, we vote in elections and we have courts.

However, a significant proportion of the electorate is swayed by the promise of something, without any real means of enforcing it, other than the next election, which starts the cycle again.

Having shorter election cycles might look attractive, but we’re already dealing with election driven policy, shorter cycles would make it worse, not to mention the massive increase in cost for running more elections.

We already know that dictatorships don’t work for anyone other than the dictator, but we still elect people who want nothing short of their own immortality and permanent leadership.

Do we need to improve things, sure, but we’re dealing with something that goes back at least as far as Plato.

Here’s an article exploring the quote that Democracy is the least worst form of Government.

Well, that was an experience.

Depending on which browser, I either see this error:

“A network error caused the media download to fail”

Or I get a video that when paused has a massive “Continue” button in the middle of the shot, obscuring exactly what the videographer was centred on.

Have you considered sharing the configuration as a CSV?

As for installing chirp, I’m pretty sure that it’s packaged for Ubuntu in the repository, rather than attempting to install the latest version from the source.

That depends on how much you value privacy, it’s not a question I can answer.
