My fishbone antenna and local VHF/UHF stations are positively offended at not being called the “traditional” TV. Now get off my lawn!!!

well that’s like, your opinion, man.

I am absolutely not advocating rudeness to the cashier.

Give them the opportunity for malicious compliance.

Allow them to answer every question and have a pleasant break from the monotony, knowing full well that they are being cheerful and helpful just like the training videos and handbook demand they be.

Cool assumption bro. Hope that works out for you.
I am never rude to the poor people that have to work retail. I know the pain; I have been on the other side of the counter.

What I’m talking about is malicious compliance.

They tell the cashiers to push the program and be helpful? Fine. I will let that cashier be the most helpful employee ever and at the same time gum up the company data collection system with fake information.

At the same time as more punshment to the company they will see reduced sales and throughput requiring additional cashiers (more hours/pay for those people).

But please bring on the fake internet point brigade.

I didn’t say to be rude to the cashier. They make hourly wage, doesn’t matter how many people they check out.

Make the company pay. Cause less product to be sold per hour. Cause more cashiers to be required. Make it more expensive to have the data collection program than to not have it. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Or just let them get away with it. Your call.

Give fake information every time. Waste the cashiers time with questions. Make them pay for it.

Yes, Brio scale, not Brio brand.

Definitely coordinate with the parents, not only to find what your nephew’s interests are but also so no gifts are duplicated.

If they don’t have advice or you can’t ask for some reason, Brio scale trains, construction equipment, emergency vehicles, dinosaurs and generic toys are usually a good bet, they don’t usually understand or care about brand names or franchises yet.

can u burn a luigi board?

Can you just make some symlinks in usr/lib and usr/include? Or am I just not understanding the problem correctly?

Domains have restrictions based on the rules of their registrar, that may be mandated by the government of the associated country.

Some old examples are .gov, .mil, .edu. - I believe that only US Government entities can register with .gov - Not just federal entities but also state and local entities. For example. https://www.sf.gov/ is the San Franscisco City Government site. I’ve also seen things like https://abcab.ca.gov/ that actually use the hierarchy that was originally intended to exist in domain names. Similarly, .mil is for US military organizations.

.edu must be an accredited institution located in the United States, for example https://harvard.edu/.

If you’re in the United Kingdom, you can get a .uk domain, and there appear to be special subdomains with specific use, for example, colleges and universities are .ac.uk, although I don’t know the specific details

.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz are all free-for-alls and no one cares if a commercial entity registers a .org or vice-versa.

Trust any information you find on the internet as much as you trust the author. If you don’t know personally know the author, well, then, how much do you trust random strangers on the street handing you fliers?

You can read more history on gTLDs at the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_top-level_domain

Speak for yourself.

Doctors in the US never ever prescribe herbs or supplements. On rare occasions when you have a legitimate vitamin deficiency, verified by blood work, they will prescribe medical grade vitamin tablets, from a pharmacy that has actually tested the vitamin content of the product. Vitamin D deficiency is quite common, and while rare, scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) can happen if someone is malnourished.

My doctor has told me on more that one occasion that herbal supplements are completely unregulated, many don’t contain even a bit of the claimed herb, and sometimes have legitimately harmful plants mixed in, as if someone just gathered a bunch of weeds, dried and ground them up.

but how will i type ‘IDKFA IDDQD IDSPIDSPOP and IDNOCLIP’ on the Deck with no keyboard?!

1. There is always some level of distrust of secretive organizations like the NSA/FBI/CIA/
2. Usually it’s the previous gen / obsolete tech filters out of them, because they do want people to protect themselves a bit. I’d almost guarantee they have better / more advanced tools they aren’t sharing.

if by “most” you mean “a scant few applications that can’t tolerate it” then sure. US to Germany pings are currently ~120ms. Not many things that can’t tolerate 500ms outside of gaming.

And there’s your problem. You’re echoing using double quotes which will interpret characters. Don’t do that. That’s a bug. cat or cp the file to the destination; printf if the contents are all in that variable.

Here’s what I’m reading:

startup-script line 27 threw the error.

I’m reading this and interpreting that line 27 of that script is

sudo echo "# FYI quotes(") must be escaped with \ like \"

I am confused why there is no trailing double quote, the last 3 chars should be \"" so perhaps this is a bad assumption but the best I can do with the available information.

So the fix here is to change startup-script line 27 so that you’re not echoing things that might contain characters that might be interpreted by echo or your shell.

Now if startup-script is provided by your distro, there may be a reason that it’s using echo, but I will tell you now whatever dipshit reason they provide they’re fucking wrong because EXHIBIT A: # " fucks the script and rule 0 of linux is “don’t break userspace”.

Everything else allows any printable char after the # in a comment, that script is not special, comments are not to be interpreted by the program. That is a show-stopping bug in startup-script and must be fixed.

EOF

i think the real error was that you started the echo with a double quote and ended with a single quote. had you properly wrapped it with single quotes it would have worked. even if you had escaped the double quote, there still would have been an error because you’d have a multi-line string with no ending " (the 2nd double quote was properly escaped so that would not have terminated your string)

Also, you didn’t escape your slashes.

Either it should have looked like this:

echo '# FYI quotes(") must be escaped with \ like \"'

or this:

echo "# FYI quotes(\") must be escaped with \\ like \\\""
