It’s an American/British English difference

they haven’t been made by ibm for years and years

It’s both

It’s good if your examiners have a few easy things to pick up, makes them feel useful and stops them from finding nonsense just to have something to criticise ;)

In most places the defense is kind of just a formality. It’s an important part of the ritual and the process, it’s important to present your work, but nobody should be submitting unless they’re definitely going to pass the defense, or else their supervisor has really failed them

The existence of Israel in the way it exists now is an injustice.

Yeah, exactly, when you want to do a full upgrade it’s technically best practice to check if there’s anything which requires intervention. But I never bother honestly, and the one time there was an issue it was resolved by just uninstalling one package for another.

It does still happen occasionally that updates need some intervention, it is still policy that you should check the blog in case, but it’s only happened once in the last two years for me.

I wish

A normal dose is more like 0.01g for someone with no tolerance

This meme is not saying anything like it’s the average price? It’s suggesting that the aesthetic of the tater tots in the jar conjures feelings of those places you can find which are that expensive.

Big change from your last comment

20 dollars is about 16 CHF, that’s an extremely normal price for a cocktail. I live just outside Zurich, I’m not exaggerating for comedic or dramatic effect. In a fancy bar in district 1 or niederdorf it’s more like 25 CHF or 30 USD.

Just a random selection of a few bars in downtown:

Paris is not nearly one of the most expensive cities. For a huge cultural capital it’s really quite affordable. Try Zurich or San Francisco or Singapore.

I don’t think these are so crazy, if you compare to pizzocheri or other stuff from the north of Italy it has a quite similar character

Private property in this context means things which generate/are used to generate capital, not just any kind of object which people might have and use. The important distinction is that capital is social, it is a means of coercing others to do work for you. That’s true for a factory, where people work for the owner, or for a rented property where the tenant must work to pay the owner. It’s true in a way even for wages - when you spend money you are buying the products of people’s labour (which under capitalism was not produced in a just way). It’s not the case for your toothbrush.

The distinction that liberalism made was that everyone should in theory be allowed to own private property rather than royals appointed by divine right and hereditary nobility they delegated some power to. Not that in the 1700s we were suddenly allowed to have our own clothes for the first time in history.

I’m surprised that there doesn’t seem to be any after what they did to her and others on the boats.

This stuff takes longer than a news cycle, that was two days ago.

But on the other hand, the world has stood by for more than half a century of torture of Gazans, so it shouldn’t be surprising.

Agreed.

It’s incredibly hard to prove things like this so if you don’t believe it you don’t, but I don’t think the effects are just meant to be directly bringing food to Gaza. If that were the only way to measure it you’d be right. But the only thing which could possibly stop Israel is strong political pressure from the West and we are getting closer to that, the world is angry about it in a way they weren’t before. Even Germany, the most hard-line Israel supporter is changing its stance. These massive protests in Italy wouldn’t have been like this otherwise. Yeah maybe I’m wrong because these things are nebulous and slow but that’s how activism is and I think those things are real changes.
