Package manager choice is pretty important, and for that I always recommend debian-based for a pc for a new Linux user. APT is just so good.

It always seems like 1 step forward, 2 steps back with console gaming

Who needs credit cards when I'm rich enough to build an above-ground bulletproof bunker powered by supercooled 5-tesla magnets

While accurate, we'll probably never find out if they end up being the ones responsible for his assassination.

Yeah I know he is already, but if he becomes more overt about it then the government will be more likely to be overt about treating him as such

The virtual particle explanation is wrong because it implies that virtual particles have a negative mass density on one side and a positive mass density on the other, and that by some unexplained mechanism the negative half of that mass density falls into the black hole more commonly than the positive mass density. This is the opposite of what you would expect, as negative mass would have negative acceleration, and would fall AWAY from the gravitational pull of the black hole, not towards it. This is simply not how virtual particles work. This explanation is mistakenly treating virtual particles as classical objects, rather than a phenomenon that is predicted by quantum field theory.

The real explanation is above my paygrade to describe, but it is a phenomenon related to the Casimir effect, where the space between the metal plates is analogous to space time existing after the creation of the event horizon.

There's a limit to how big they can grow through accretion, yes, but no limit to their mass through mergers.

Counterargument: everything is limited, and all joyful people are imbeciles to some extent

Or rather, they assassinate him themselves, since someone who has held clearance higher than any other member of the US government is a liability if he becomes disloyal to the US

Could I theoretically make my home immune to guns by surrounding it with kevlar-coated MRIs

It's an annual streak bonus

Medical device manufacturers also threatened iFixit because it posted ventilator repair manuals on its website.

What the fuck is wrong with people. Anyone who opposes the right to repair for MEDICAL DEVICES is irredeemable.
