In a fight between delusion and physics, physics may always win but delusion never concedes.

  • Now you know why Microsoft bought github.

  • Splitting hairs over the difference between a democracy and a democratic-republic misses the point. China, Russia, even North Korea, are all constitutional republics. Do you want to live in a country with a dictatorship like that? I don't.

  • I hate these Mott and Bailey arguments.

    The discussion was about professional use. Then you moved the goalposts.

  • Affinity is good, and runs OK on Linux with recent versions of wine. Resolve is very good. A credible alternative to Premiere, though Fusion isn't all that compared to Ae.

    Ardour is great right now. As is Reaper.

  • Gimp is still not an alternative to Ps. Not even close.

  • Not good just the same. Hacking readers' computers via a capta exploit is some next level nefarious shit above and beyond changing archived text.

    Both violate users' trust though. I had no idea about this.

  • Do you have a cite for that? This is the first I heard of this.

  • They could have done this forty years ago. And a moonbase is a waste of money and time. And it's all moot because Trump just nuked another $14B off NASA's budget anyway.

  • I'm just glad the thing didn't explode on launch or come flying apart on reentry.

    NASA's problem is that their goals get derailed every time the executive changes hands, so they serve no strategic purpose. The moonbase idea is idiotic. Getting bots out to explore asteroids for potential mining is not. NASA should be building the infrastructure for that.

  • Matrix remains my favorite. Warts and all.

  • I know librarians are still much the same.

    She may dress conservatively and act prim and proper, but behind closed doors librarians can get freaky!

  • I find ebooks from the library to be very useful.

  • It expires after two weeks. You can extend, just like borrowing a physical copy. Or return early, in which case it expires upon return.

  • My local library allows borrowing ebooks. It's incredibly useful. I own two kindles and haven't spent a dime at Amazon for ebooks. I do buy physical books now and then from there, but only if I really need it and can't find elsewhere.

  • Scrivener

  • Drop it to ten minutes a run plus walking, but up it to four times a week. You're better off taking it slow and working up. Easier on your lower back and knees. Good shoes also matter. Might want to add some free calisthenics too. Body weight squats, pushups, dead hangs at a pullup bar, etc.

  • Sure wish we were a province of the United States. Then nobody would be buying pickup trucks as passenger vehicles! I mean, who in America has a pickup truck in their driveway?

  • A stopped pedophile is right once a decade?

  • I like the Ionic.
