IcePee,

Probably the safest, most cost effective approach is to use WSL.

IcePee,

As Mr. Miyagi would say:

“Walk On Road, Hmmm? Walk Left Side, Safe. Walk Right Side, Safe. Walk Middle, Sooner Or Later… Get Squish Just Like Grape!”

Or, how about Yoda:

"Do or do not. There is no try”

What I’m saying either Linux rules the roost or Windows does. The “roost” in this example is your hard drive.

“But, muh freedoms”

IcePee,

From the article:

…and that the hosts weren’t from outlets with an ideological bent toward Trump.

At this stage I think it will be very difficult to find someone unbiased when it comes to Trump. The best you can hope for outside an assiduous hermit, is someone who is ethically committed to fairness.

IcePee,

Also known as “a cycle of violence”. Or " hurt people, hurt people" But at what stage is it someone’s responsibility to break this most vicious of cycles?

IcePee,

I was referring to their power base. If there was no cultural pain there, there would be nothing to exploit to remain in power so that they an perpetrate this atrocity.

IcePee,

And what’s worse is they’ll probably not fix the issue as it is an excellent rallying call.

IcePee,

Using your logic then, by not voting Democrats, you are making a Republican rule more likely. Even by minuscule amounts. If enough people share your view, it’s a real help to them. Why do you want to help them? Do you love wannabe Dictators that much? Staying home helps Republicans.

IcePee, (edited )

I never liked those busses. They were wannabe busses, so wanting to be a route master of old but none of the practicality of one. All show and no trousers, so to speak. Plus, they probably cost a mint to build and by due the customizations.

IcePee,

Ah Libertarianism, when mother can’t tell me when to go to bed or to eat my greens.

IcePee,

… And? A lot of socialists are also libertarian in equal measure.

IcePee,

I think you could just remove “trades” from that caption. Bloody prima donas.

IcePee,

… And by resounding, you’re extending this tangent. And, before accusations of hypocrisy fall from your fingers, I’m not the one who is complaining about this.

IcePee,

No, I’m not. But I don’t need to swing for the fences to assess you a hypocrite. You’re doing it right now. Stop extending OT tangents.

IcePee,

A few questions:

  • How many respondents where there?
  • What was the national break down?
  • How were the respondents selected? Was it random?
  • Were the questions phased universally across nations?

Without these questions answered, it’s hard to make out what to think about this statistic.

As the saying goes: “lies, damned lies, and statistics”.

As it is, It would have been more useful if they allowed respondents a selection of choices. Such as: Don’t Know/Care, Neutral, About Right and Not Enough.

Maybe a meta study would have made a better subject for an article.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

IcePee,

While it doesn’t have well known artists, indie streaming Resonate prides itself as having the most generous (or at least, close to) payments to artists. To support this, it has an innovative payment model akin to higher purchase. You pay a little for the first listen to a track, but the price increases through subsequent listens. After 9 listens, you own the track outright. The total cost of ownership is around $0.9

Biden Puts Arms Shipment to Israel on Hold Amid Dispute Over Rafah Attack (www.nytimes.com)

President Biden paused an arms shipment to Israel last week to prevent the U.S.-made weapons from being used in a long-threatened assault on the city Rafah, administration officials said on Tuesday night, a sign of the growing rift between Washington and Jerusalem over the conduct of the war....

IcePee,

I wonder what’s different here. Israel has danced over the US’s red lines before with such alacrity that they may as well have been an invitation. “I wasn’t gonna, but you drew a red line there. Oh I can’t resist.”

EXCLUSIVE: “You Have Been Warned”: Republican Senators Threaten the ICC Prosecutor over Possible Israel Arrest Warrants (zeteo.com)

A group of influential Republican senators has sent a letter to International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan, warning him not to issue international arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, and threatening him with “severe sanctions” if he does so....

IcePee,

It’s only a matter of time and how long can they hold a grudge.

IcePee,

I don’t think it’s that empty. GOP will be back in power some day.

IcePee,

I think shooting foreign troops would be seen as an escalation. And I don’t think Europe wants to see where that will go.

IcePee,

Let’s see if the other Republicans can turn it 'round. The recent trajectory of the party has not been promising, though.

IcePee,

I couldn’t agree more with the quotes in the article from Jamil Mohamad and Jared. As I was reading them, in my head I was saying: THIS

IcePee,

Something’s a bit iffy with this story. Surely, Germany would have made clear the particulars of the ban to Abu-Sitta. If this is the case, is this just a consciousness raising stunt on by Abu-Sitta? If he did know there are ways around the ban. Could it be that he isn’t Schengen banned at all and France is using it as a pretext.

‘Huge win’: Brown University protesters reach an agreement to dismantle encampment (forward.com)

This article describes the little-reported on success that Brown University had in disbanding student protest… by conceding to let activists present a case for divestment at an upcoming hearing before the university’s investment board....

IcePee,

If the Palestinians show anything, no justice, no peace comes to mind. Say Brown does this assuming the fire is still there, people won’t stay silent for long. If a party chooses the path of the authoritarian they need to carry a pretty big stick. And even then, as Israel keeps showing, it doesn’t work.

IcePee,

It’s kind of hypocritical. When we were asking for a confirming vote on the actual deal to leave the EU it was how, unlike the second vote people they for in democracy. Turns out they never believed it. Such mendaciousness.
