When I was in year 5 the kids in the class had been working cutting apricots and they bought tonnes of candy and these whistles they were blowing all the time.

How much did the whistles cost ? one cent.

True story.

It isn’t any easier and the infrastructure in Louisiana used to produce Venezuelan oil was abandoned decades ago.

From the questions people ask and from online accounts.

2006 - 2G Siemens

2016 - 3G Samsung (2G turned off)

2022 - 4G ZTE (3G turned off)

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC are all pretty solid.

Heh no. All of those are being automated and dumbed down.

In a few years all you’ll need is an unskilled labourer and a robot.

Yeah no. The Venezuelan oil infrastructure is falling apart, it would take billions to bring it back up to service.

The MacIntosh did not have an eject button famously.

Its upside down you know. The rocket engine fires upwards and what you see is after it pushes back, Newton’s First Law and all that (equal and opposite reaction).

If it pushed down, it wouldn’t work in space cos there’s nothing for it to push against.

“Benny Hill owns Thames TV, he named it after his Thames van” (pronounced to rhyme with “frames”).

I think the term “The Nethetlands” was coined after the Reformation and Counter-Reformation when the northern provinces ,which became Lutheran, separated from the southern provinces which remained Roman Catholic.

The country was usually referred as “Holland” (a northern province) before then.

America was originally just the name of South America, then the English lazily coined the term “North America”.

Why are you using multiple partitions ?

Linux is not like Windows where you can run programs on any partition or inserted media ; you can only run executables on the primary boot partition. Its therefore pointless IMO to have more than one partition (plus a swap partition).

Have you tried asking ChatGPT or Gemini ?

This is what Bing said :

Fixing “Gave up waiting for root device” error in Debian The error “Gave up waiting for root device” in Debian can be caused by missing modules or incorrect partition references. To fix this issue, you can follow these steps: Boot into a live session and list the UUIDs of all partitions using sudo blkid. Check the /etc/fstab file to ensure the correct UUID is listed for the root partition. If the UUID is missing or incorrect, replace it in the /etc/fstab file. If the error persists, you may need to rebuild the initramfs file by running sudo update-initramfs -u after installing the necessary modules with apt-get install lvm2 cryptsetup if you are using logical volumes. 1

These steps should help you resolve the boot error and restore your system’s functionality.

Shoulder pork, the lowest grade of pork available. Which is nowhere near the ribs.

But isn’t that the point ?

The Venezualan heavy sour crude needs a lot of refining which creates jobs (at least in the construction phase) in Louisiana.

Of course the processing is spectacularly filthy and coastal land is expensive in the US so it would probably be built in Venezuela but it will be years before anyone finds that out.

Before giving my verdict on this Wayland/sway experiment, let me explain that my experience on X11/i3 is really good. I don’t see any tearing or other artifacts or glitches in my day-to-day computer usage. I don’t use a compositor, so my input latency is really good

But I thought X11 didn’t have compositors ? Just a window manager.

No I know. The stuff made in the 1970s was utter garbage.

Anything with moving parts, after about 6 weeks you’d hear a grinding noise then a snap and a puff of smoke.

Chuck em out the window and there’s a thousand people behind them willing and able to take their place.

Biden increased sanctions on Venezuela.

During the Venezuelan election, when the US-backed opposition leader said that he wouldn’t give the oilfields back to the US, Biden had their financial support cut off and arrested opposition members living in the US.

The Venezuelan policy is bipartisan.

Cyprus was in NATO.
