Spurious shmurious! The causation here is clear: eating butter generates wind farms. Eat more butter to save the planet everyone! It’s undeniable science!

When asked why God would do such a thing, the answer is usually “To test your faith”.

I was brought up Christian as a child, and went to church, but this answer is a prime example of what ultimately turned me away. Such behaviour didn’t fit the image of God in my mind. My version of God was pure, loving and trustworthy, and wouldn’t scatter “tests of faith” and other such trickery around my world.

Definitely contenders, but they’d need to have killed themselves and/or their offspring in the process to win the prize (or caused their own infertility before having kids, but those are really rare).

It was a joke. You see, I was suggesting that a place with lots of sharks might be called “Shark”, in keeping with the point of the original post.

I am aware that most shark attacks are due to mistaken identity, but it wasn’t meant to be taken too seriously.

Perhaps the reason sharks came to mind before any other animals is because I read this article a couple of days ago: https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/surfer-bitten-in-half-7232230.html

It stands out because the way it was reported makes it sound like the sharks executed a coordinated attack on the surfer. But, again, I didn’t expect to get cross-examined on what I intended to be a humorous remark.

Regular visitors to Sharks would like a word.

The dissonance with Trump is astonishing. The Arctic is recently becoming more important strategically due to ice disappearing, and yet he’s one of the biggest and most stubborn climate change deniers.

Exactly. A good scrum master shields the team from the bureaucracy, facilitates the meetings while keeping them targeted and on-topic, and keeps everything running instead of slowing it down. They also coach the team in self-organisation.

There are far too many people that call themselves scrum masters that are actually just pressurising ticket managers.

The biggest problems with scrum, in my experience, are when the managers and directors don’t understand it and ruin it. I’ve been a few places that implemented SAFe, but to this day I don’t know what SAFe actually is beyond waterfall with pointless sprints. I’ve worked in a couple of places where the directors kept their noses out and scrum worked really well.

Yes, the difference in temperature is interesting, I don’t want to seem dismissive of that. Just the choice of wording was also interesting.

Lisbon is in Portugal btw. (But that doesn’t change the distances.)

It’s still an odd way to compare temperatures:

• Double of 1 degree is 2 degrees, so not very different.
• Double of 30 degrees is 60 degrees, so wildly different.
• Double of -20 degrees is -40 degrees, so a lot colder instead of warmer.

They also developed their own Rust UI library and open-sourced it.

I also suspect that Doritos dipping cheese is closer to a fossil fuel than a dairy product. I still eat it though.

Good info here. The only thing I disagree with is turning to rpm-ostree if flatpak doesn’t have something. There is an officially preferred order and the ostree overlays are last resort. It will work short term but might cause headaches during future updates.

I love Bazzite. It’s a great distro and I want it to do well, so this is something I hope the noob guides start making a bit more noise about, because otherwise some of the recent Windows refugees might have problems down the line.

Yes

It seemed pretty fitting for someone with your username tbh.

Me too, since 2016. I dabbled in dual-booting on and off since about 2k, but went full Linux in 2016 and have never looked back.

Bisexuality usually refers to sexual preference, alongside homosexuality and heterosexuality. Shouldn’t this post be referring to the flower as hermaphroditic rather than bisexual?
