  • tar -jcvf archive.tbz ~/stuff/*

    Of course I don't know the bomb had bzip2 on it.. I wonder if we can start with ls to see if there's anything to tar or untar

  • It's better to learn the new command, then it still works when you use a different machine that doesn't have your alias

  • Yeah, having used both, my preference is for Emacs, which also comes with the bonus of menu driven ways of doing most things when you've been away long enough to have forgotten a keyboard shortcut. I have always needed a cheat sheet handy when away from vim for a few months

    Surely you're editing right before exiting, why else would you be saving?

    Jump

  • If we count the modifier keys:

    Vim: esc, shift+:, w, q, Enter

    Emacs: ctrl-s, crtl+x ctrl+c, or use the menu options

    I use both, but find Emacs much quicker, though vim is easier to learn, though Emacs is easier while you're learning

  • I'm pretty sure allergies are due in part to our crap diets. I changed my diet to one with only food my thrice great grandparents would recognise, also very low carb, no modern vegetable oils, and my allergies vanished (seasonal rhinitis) or became minor (cats)

  • People who have tried to gain literacy later in life have had a lot more trouble learning to write than read. It seems that the fine motor skills to drive a pen are best learnt early

  • Milky way and Andromeda are close enough that expansion is too small to overpower gravity

    Our local group is racing toward The Great Attractor but will never reach it as expansion is pulling it away faster than we're falling toward it

  • Yeah, I'm pretty sure red shift is our best method for getting distances on billions of light year distant objects, no idea of it's the only one at that range

  • Do you think plastic straws are banned in the places with waste management that allow plastics to be dumped in the ocean?

    In my country pretty much every fast food straw lands in a fast food bin or in someone's car and thence into household rubbish

    None of that goes into water courses

    Asia on the other hand has some pretty poor countries with crap rubbish handling

  • That's a regional thing. Some places say on an island, others in an island.

  • minus drag

    On Earth, this is the part that makes it so that objects do not fall at the same speed.

    That is incorrect. Drag affects both equally. The difference is caused by buoyancy, less dense objects feel more buoyancy

  • Their problem was that they weren't able to say why, and no one replying to me was able to do more than say they're right, I'm wrong. See my edit. I added a correction after looking up drag equations for myself and finding that buoyancy was a factor

    Also, thank you for replying civilly

  • You are wrong. Falling in a medium is slowed by buoyancy and drag

    F=ma has nothing to do with it
