Since they speak multiple languages, they probably spend quite a lot of time thinking about the subtle differences in meaning between words, so the precise meaning of the word “polyglot” no doubt matters quite a lot to them.

Horse deserves serious praise! How is 'e even gripping that pencil?

You don’t have to make it harder to drive. It’s a question of separating the cars from the bikes. Designate some streets for bikes and some for cars. That is better for both.

Where they cross, some junctions should prioritise cars and some bikes.

Also separate the pedestrians from the bikes on the same basis.

I think we have to thank people like this for demonstrating that losing your collection isn’t just a theoretical risk.

In the medieval period, there was the common idea that if something is too perfect, it must have been made by the Devil. To forestall accusations of having done a deal with the Devil, craftsmen would often deliberately introduce flaws in their design.

That’s why there are always gaps in my dovetails.

Thou is singular and you is plural. Thou art. You are.

I made some panels like this this summer, to block the sun coming into our apartment, without blocking the light completely.

The canvas was more expensive than the wood, I must say. I just made squares, not divided panels, because I wasn’t sure how we would arrange them. I used lap joints for the corners and I just wrapped the canvas over the frame and stapled it at the back. I put a couple of feet on each one so that the canvas wouldn’t be touching the ground and get dirty.

So, nothing fancy at all, but they’re actually very pleasing to look at - the sunlight coming through them, especially. I can really recommend this as a project!

Let’s have a trigger warning on that, please.

Cries in Brexit

They are going to spend those 4 years doing everything they can to fix the next election as well. Gerrymandering, voter intimidation, you name it. By all means hide in bed to get over the shock but, if you stay there, you’ll need to stay there more than 4 years.

So an EU-backed distro could be the same. Yes, they would fund maintainers, but their own maintainers, not maintainers of upstream distros.

How much of Ubuntu’s funding goes to supporting debian? I actually don’t know.

I don’t, for example, see Ubuntu listed here: https://www.debian.org/partners/

Well, what better way to embrace FOSS than dismissing the efforts of all the existing distro maintainers? Welcome to the community, guys. Good luck building your cathedral next to the bazaar!

How about they instead work together with the distros and create a way of certifying a distro as gov-ready?

The way you’ve worded that suggested to me that there isn’t an actual solution so, for the people who didn’t click through, I’ll point out that the article concludes: “more sustainable alternatives to plastic bottles exist for all three types of beverage”.

That said, in order to compare the environmental impact, there has to be some kind of weighting between the energy cost of manufacture and the direct environmental pollution (discarded plastic choking marine animals; microplastics; etc). I’m not sure it even makes sense to try to combine them. Climate change is an imminent existential threat, whereas microplastics are poisoning us but not obviously killing us.

I also wonder what they assumed for the energy source in the glass manufacture. It is mostly fossil fuels at present, but the industry is moving towards electrification.

Well, the children don’t have a choice, so I assume you’re talking about the choice to target the militants there and not in another place.

Yes, specifically militants who are fathers.

Hamas uses phones, hence the “Where’s Daddy?” attack, which is not directed at tunnels. It’s more-or-less designed to hit civilians. The clue is in the name.

Runs debian unstable. Shuts down his machine every year or so.

Formula 1 switched to semi-automatic in the 1980s. The technology has only improved over the last 40 years. If fast is what you want, driving a manual is insanity.
