  • Why don't they get this?

  • You kinda answered your own questions there. You get a lift and a crane. Presumably whatever local company installed them would also repair them.

  • A "school bus" can be a local mini that's like 8-10?m long, or a medium like 15-metre one. A "school bus" (as it would be near me) can also be an articulated main route bus that has three high schools and a major university on both ends of the corridor, at like 30 metres long.

    Ditto pizzas. A "large" is such an arbitrary measurement.

    as for "seeing" the proportions... if you gave me that picture and told me it was shrimp-sized (also a bit ambiguous), I couldn't question it. At best, the "pizza" and "bus" provide order of magnitude estimates.

  • And yet I still have no idea how big the squid is. Buses range in size dramatically.

  • That is infuriating. Leaving those keys available to the user means that worms can later use you to compromise additional machines. It turns a local problem into a much bigger one. There's a recursive script out there that automatically scans your ssh files and attempts to access all hosts in your history..name escapes me at the moment.

  • Those comments really do get tedious. But there's no billion-dollar company pushing desktop Linux and buying podcast ads and whatnot, so ... there's really no other way to get the word out.

  • Yeah, that's a relatively easy issue to debug. It goes to show that it's really about where your familiarity level is.

    It's really all about what you're familiar with.

  • Well, it is propaganda. Selectively amplifying the truth is one way of doing that.

    It's good to recognize it even if you agreee with the underlying cause.
