I’d argue that “and” is the proper way to say “&” in english, even though it’s just a fancy “et”. The word ampersand is just a weird spelling of “and per se and”, that is, “and in itself”, as opposed to being part of listing things. Like: x,y,z, and &. The first and is just part of the grammar of listing things, the second is an item in that list.

I loved chip’s challenge!

I fear that I am at this crossroads place right now in my life, also at 43. I’m forcing myself to be a part of a group that seeks societal change for the better, but honestly it’s a struggle. It could go either way.

An important piece in some openings.

Yes, but she has lots of them. Ok, to be honest, I do this maybe half of the time, after considering if there is a chance my penis will end up in her mouth later, I want to be clean. She puts her diva cup in the sink some times and forget to rinse it, we just not easily grossed by natural body things I guess.

Wet but clean, so my bath towel works. Or the small towels my girlfriend use to wash her face, whatever is closest.

If I’m at home I wash it at the sink faucet before washing my hands.

Me too! I haven’t thought about it much either, I’m happy with Graphene though.

There’s still over a year of OEM support left with official support etc, but have you started thinking about what to use after that? A newer pixel? Motorola? Something else entirely?

I’ve been using Debian for like 15 years, but recently I’ve been trying out OpenSuse, all the versions like Slowroll and Aeon too. It’s just… I keep returning to Debian. On tumbleweed I constantly had that eerie feeling of “oh gosh what changed today…?” What made you do the switch?

How often do you zypper dup? Do you worry about update issues?

I ran into my dentist at a bar once. She came up to me, very drunk, and said/shouted: “Do you realize who I am? I am your dentist! Now I’m going to have a mojito, because that’s what all old hags drink!” and then she wandered off. Unrelated, but when I am in the dentists chair, she always lean over so my head is sort of resting against or between her breasts a little. It’s subtle enough that I don’t know if it’s more inappropriate in itself, or if it would be more inappropriate to make her aware of it.

So… are there any FOSS hackers who stream themselves working on free software? But like, the focus is on them, not just the code? And like maybe they get up to get a cup of tea or do some stretching etc and you can just imagine their inner monologue going “should I break out all this code into a library, it’s getting pretty big… and maybe I will need this in the future… just like I need a hug… or maybe I should open a flower shop and bake my own bread and live more in the moment” and the programmer takes a deep breath and everyone watching is confronted with a realization that they are distracting themselves from their own existential dread by watching someone else go through existential feelings.

What is actually the logic in this, if the cat is looking it’s to investigate. A gullible cat would just believe without looking.

The philosopher Emil Cioran had an interesting take on this. If I read him right we can stop looking for the meaning of life. It won’t make us happy to look, but it also won’t make us happy to stop. Nothing will make us happy.

Politics aside, the Rumsfeld quote makes perfect sense to me.
