I definitely agree about Christmas. It's secondary to Easter. Ash Wednesday is not even a holy day of obligation for Catholics, but the Octave of Christmas, January 1st is.

Are you talking about general issues, or specific to encoding/decoding with Intel? And are you installing on bare metal?

Because I've had issues encoding/decoding after upgrading my docker host from Ubuntu 23.04 or thereabouts, but I've always blamed it on having a server motherboard that doesn't provide ReBAR.

It's street drug, otherwise known to chemists as 3,4-Methyl​​enedioxy​​methamphetamine. Some white trust fund billionaire got stoned and decided it would be funny to hear the media say a politician said something "on twitter," so he decided to buy a website and name it that.

Read between the lines in Amazon's response.

They probably monitor the drivers for lip movements to see if they're talking on the phone, but their monitoring can't differentiate between singing or talking to one's self and talking or singing to someone else, so everyone gets flagged. The drivers know the best way to avoid the ire of management is to simply not move their lips.

It may not be an outright prohibition, but it does have a chilling effect, which makes it as good as one.

[In my best nature documentarisn voice] Behold, what appears to be moving goalposts to the outside observer is actually a side-effect of the first-past-the-post system's tendency towards two dominant parties.

Yup, and it's just regular antihistamines. I took seldane for a while until they took that off the market, then it was on to reactine. It was a bit of a slap in the face when the reactine became non-prescription, and therefore somehow not medically necessary according to my insurance provider.

When I got married and had a kid, I discovered "trouble swalling pills" is indeed a phenomenon.

I have been taking pills since I was five thanks to my temperature-based allergy. I just salivate when I see a pill. It's quite inconvenient when I am handling my child or spouse's medicine.

no Morse code

Found the American, even before you mentioned the FCC. I've been wondering how much of an effect the different amateur radio licensing requirements have had on the airwaves. For myself, the main thing holding me back is my lack of confidence in passing the analogue electronics portion of the exam.

I'm surprised you haven't found many people who meditate. There are a lot of people who follow abrabamic traditions on meditation (though they use a different word for it), and they can be found pretty much worldwide except for a few scattered spots.

I should caution you, though, the terminology used by these groups may seem quite foreign, but you'll have to trust me -- they meditate even if some of them don't call it that.

I don't think they're suggesting taking it away from the rightful owner.
