Love the “he’s an Israel fanboi” statement, as if that is a relevant argument when you look at the GOP’s prime cut of meat. Don’t forget Trump moved the US diplomatic mission to Jerusalem, opened it as a fully -fledged embassy and recognised Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, despite Jerusalem having the status of being shared between Israel and Palestine. One of the biggest dick-moves imaginable and hampering any and all attempts at a resolution of a long-lasting conflict.

Well, says the guy who turns orange every morning. 🥕

Yes, they can indeed be a problem for people with allergies. In my case dogs (and cats unfortunately) trigger respiratory issues. I had that issue at a workplace where dogs were allowed, not fun times. And unfortunately medication like antihistamines are not an option for everybody, personally I get extremely drowsy from them, even from the latest generation meds.

That’s just part of the problem unfortunately. The other part is overprescription, don’t expect or demand to have antibiotics prescribed for every cold. And if you do get them prescribed: finish the course, instead of stopping when you think things are better and leaving a colony of (somewhat) resistant bugs alive, which now stand a much better chance of gaining dominance.

For GNU tar it is, for any other version I would not be so sure. Especially when disabling an atomic bomb.

Or Wing Commander III, with its ludicrous 4 CD’s. 😱

Or just don’t care about pub(l)ic opinion enough

Ah, the same Mars where they did the first prototyping for the Doctor’s matrix.

Periodic, versioned and tested backups.

It absolutely, totally, never ever happened to me that I had a bunch of backups available that turned out to be effectively unrestorable the moment I needed them. 😭

I’ve got regular silverfish in the bathroom, but gray silverfish (or paperfish as they are called here) in the rest of the house. Those things are larger and much more destructive, some found their way in my collection of sheet music… They literally eat their way through paper and even damage untreated wood, nasty critters. And worse, where ventilating your house helps against silverfish, it only seems to create even better living conditions for those buggers. I’d trade for house centipedes happily.

While I agree that likely most SMTP traffic is sent encrypted these days, you simply cannot be sure. Just because you received something over an encrypted connection doesn’t mean that relays in between also used this. The webserver could have handed over the email unencrypted to an SMTP server for all you know. And even if an encrypted connection was used the mail might still have been copied to a log on the SMTP server. Email is unfortunately inherently unsafe.

The opposite is true for the tiny arms. The arms are not tiny because it’s beneficial for them to be that small. They’re tiny because there’s no reason for them to be big.

It is theorised that it might actually have been an advantage to have smaller arms, so there may have been some selective pressure:

“What if several adult tyrannosaurs converged on a carcass? You have a bunch of massive skulls, with incredibly powerful jaws and teeth, ripping and chomping down flesh and bone right next to you. What if your friend there thinks you’re getting a little too close? They might warn you away by severing your arm”

In case of larger species with a tremendous bite force getting bitten in the arm would probably result in very bad, and likely very short, times.
