16 million is only the cost of the damage to the roads. The parade itself is estimated to cost $45 million and that’s assumed to be an underestimate.

imagine your computer is like a big playground

… goes on to do nothing with that analogy.

That I cut a bit of slack for, because prior to the minicomputer let alone the microcomputer, the CPU would likely have been a large component like the whole system is for a desktop PC.

Yes. You could use vlc or even as an iso file just open them as a virtual drive.

It’s been disruptive to my enjoyment of trick-taking card games. Any recommendations?

CTRL-tilde or CTRL-backtick?

It actually works, without a bunch of insane weird behavior.

There are, but “long haul routes” are definitely better for a train.

What an incredibly infuriating waste of effort that would be so much better spent on trains, driverless or otherwise.

As a sometimes Windows admin, I completely agree. Plus so many things that become simple one-liners instead of taking forever farting around in a GUI tool where a little misclick screws up everything and documentation requires 27 pages of giant screenshots.

That’s good to know. It’s interesting that the other commenter thinks emacs shortcuts are illogical. I’ll make my best guesses at the logic

• ctrl-a/ctrl-e for start/end of line

a is the beginning of the alphabet; e for end (of line)

• ctrl-u to clear the command you’ve typed so far but store it into a temporary pastebuffer
• ctrl-y to paste the ctrl-u’d command

No idea here. Seems similar to nano with k-“cut” and u-”uncut”.

• ctrl-w to delete by word

w for word obviously.

• ctrl-r to search your command history
• alt-b/alt-f to move cursor back/forwards by word

r reverse, b back, f forward. Not sure why alt vs control though; presumably ctrl+b and ctrl+f do different things although I know emacs likes to use Alt (“Meta”) a lot.

If you or someone you know wants a taste of that experience on Windows, try out winget or chocolatey.

Why the hell did they misspell (and presumably mispronounce) tilde?

Run amok or not, I don’t understand how it got so sideways on that narrow bridge.

If their stated goal was the truth and they wanted to follow the law, yes.

As it is, it’s blatant and intentional voter suppression.

That was how I read it at first too, but she at least implies that she is his “quirky girlfriend” depending on how you interpret it.

She says “hugged by his quirky girlfriend” which suggests they might be, or at least that’s how she sees the relationship. Could be clearer.

There’s a little bit way down in the article.

The mother and son had their routine call on April 3. Lucy Garzón remembers her son complaining of stomach pains and the poor quality of the jail’s food. He asked her to send money to his commissary account. Garzón-Rayo also said he’d received medical care for stomach issues.

“[Brayan] told me: ‘Mother, it was weird. The doctor told the officer something, and he made a strange face, but they didn’t tell me anything,'” she recalled. Garzón-Rayo asked her, “Can we find out if there was a problem?”

Then they eventually called to say he had attempted suicide by hanging himself, and was in the hospital likely to die.

From those descriptions: At the bare minimum it was 100% negligence, possibly the slightly worse covering up negligence, or much worse covering up maltreatment. And I would lean towards the latter if I had to guess.

I apologize for misunderstanding/misquoting. However, I’m not sure why you were even disagreeing with the original comment.

What lawlessness do you feel someone was saying should go unpunished? The only thing they said was that people should not be deported, and I would even read that to mean “without due process” or perhaps “as punishment”.
