Which countries? Most I can think of the candidates for head office are pretty well set months or a year ahead

You can find them on Amazon if nowhere else

Yeah, we've gotten over 30°c and mine has never overheated

C&H aims for edgy dark humor and sometimes only gets it about 2/3 right

That's because you're using LVM though. In most distros you could also use something like:

/dev/vg/root

Mine was, as is my P7, especially compared to a lot of competing devices from Samsung etc

Yeah, I'd tend to agree on that. Even beyond the security issues, nuclear has the potential to be a safe, but it also has the potential to be disastrous if mis-managed.

We see plenty of issues like this already, including what occurred here: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/fukushima-daiichi-accident

Now imagine a plant in Texas, where power companies response to winter outages has basically been "sucks to be you, winterizing is too costly".

Or maybe we'd like to go with a long-time trusted company, who totally wouldn't throw away safety and their reputation for a few extra bucks. Boeing comes to mind.

I like nuclear as a power source, but the absolutely needs to be immutable rules in place to ensure it is properly managed and that anyone attempting to cut corners to save costs gets slapped down immediately. Corporate culture in North America seems to indicate otherwise.

This happens in other countries as well. I've been told to speak the local (non-English) language when visiting friends overseas when having a private conversation.

Generally, it seems to be nosy old people who are upset about not being able to eavesdrop

Literally one of the very few things keeping me with a Windows partition, though it doesn't get used very often

Yeah there are a few games that you can try the demo on Steam but you'd think that'd be a more common thing. With full digital, it's even easier then the old shareware methods

Server or desktop, and what types of files? I find that a self-hosted version of NextCloud does pretty well for keeping contacts, images, and videos in sync.

(You could run it on a Pi as an intermediary to both if desired)

I used to use stuff like AndFTP in the past for similar functions

A is much less of a pain than C. At least in most cases the plug pinches into the outlet and stays in place.

I've used C while traveling for my charger and The weight of a few cords wants to drag that fucker out every time.

Also worth noting that A can come in the polarized (one plug slightly larger, fits one way) or non-polarised (doesn't matter) variety.
