Taglines are always silly, that’s kind of the point to make you remember. But it sold a LOT of shoes.

In the US, it’s very often the mother’s decision, because the nurses will ask her. Fathers mostly get very little say in the medical care of their children in the US at nearly any age if the mother is present.

Nah, just the male children.

Why not both?

I can remember using punch card readers to access inventory data, I have used paper punch tape to load CNC programs into machining centers and dragging arouind a reader we had mounted on a 4 wheel garden cart, (I can still remember when the tape reader fell off that cart too). And marveling at getting a 3 1/2" drive installed into a machine to load programs and how much faster and easier that was.

Gods, I either need a lobotomy or just to die to forget those memories…

That’s interesting, I did not know that! Thanks Stranger!

Now, if you do not remember or know the “Converse. Limousines for the Feet” tagline. Then get of MY lawn yet again. 🤣

Converse walked so Nike could run with their tagline.

I got tennis shoes older than you, (literally a pair of original Converse I bought new back in the 1970s). I was there before the original chains of Unix, DOS, and finally Linux were foraged. I saw OS2 die in battle. And I saw the dark time of when paper and pencils and slide rules vanished from this earth.

The knowledge of apt-get and apt only matters to those warriors of the Cli when they wield the sword of sudo to vanquish the evils that exist when upgrading. For they do the bidding of the dark wizards of Dev, holders of the command su.

Now that I have demonstrated my age by showing everyone how senile I am. ‘apt install’ is aimed at users to give a nicer response to it’s use. It need not be backwards compatible either. ‘Apt-get install’ is older and is meant to be usable as a lower level command and to work with other APT based tools.

What does this mean for you today? Not a damn thing. I still always type: sudo apt-get install when using a deb based dsitro out of sheer habit. But it’s not needed the vast majority of the unwashed masses. So feel free to just type apt install to help prevent carpel finger nail.

One has to wonder if Recall just isn’t as profitable as they had hoped.

You have missed the point entirely. It’s not that complex problems can be solved by “one simple trick that conservatives hate.” It’s that the complexity of the problem often prevents the left from even taking the first step to any solution.

Solving complex problems often requires multiple steps towards to mitigation. But, one needs to take that first step. And there needs to be dirt under those fingernails at the end of the day as a reminder of the work actually done.

You know, you only need to be around 5% smarter than the tool you are using to be successful with it. Humanity is right fuckered isn’t it?

I’m thinking 3/4oz #8 birdshot is the zeroday attack.

But it does work in an electrically challenged environment when the latency of the internet is infinite. But it can be hacked by 3/4oz #8 birdshot.

Like most prepper things for sale, this is a better product to skin money from the ignorant and the unreasonably fearful than it is truly useful. It assumes you have electricity and the functioning equipment to access it.

In a real prepper situation, you either already ready have the knowledge in your head, (the best method), or you have real books and pamphlets to read, (slow to access).

Remember Kiddies, if a real SHTF gets here, there not only won’t be no google or youtube, but there won’t be much time to use it anyway. Survival is a real time sink. And most living in the big cities will simply die in place anyway.

I’ve enjoyed her talents, no matter how small the part or scene, in several TV show prior to the Orville. Such a range.

It’s supposed to be in the US also.

There is a lot of potential here. I have little doubt the printer and slicer algorithm will make it’s way to mainstream printing at some point.

First you live in rural Mississippi, now you live less than 75 miles from the Canadian border? Should I call you an asshole ignorant troll?

Half the programs I needed to use in Windows 3.1, and 3.11 required a DOS prompt to run. It wasn’t until NT that almost all software caught up enough to not need that DOS prompt so much. Although AutoCAD R9 ran like crap in NT on the 386 with math co-processor. So I needed to reboot into DOS every time I needed CAD.

With the apparent rise of immutable spins, it might get to be even less since user space is separate the OS space. I’m trying Aurora on my laptop to see if there is any advantage to running an immutable spin over the standard distros. I’m kind of torn about it right now, there are some advantages to both and some downsides to both.

Having used LibreOffice and OnlyOffice, I find that if you need a full office suite, (and fortunately I don’t anymore), LibreOffice has more ‘stuff’ in it and perhaps a bit better comparability with Microsoft 365 than OnlyOffice. Still, I had no real beef with OnlyOffice. It’s a somewhat lighter on space the LibreOffice for sure.

Thankfully, all I really need anymore is AbbiWord and Gnumeric for my now simple and infrequent needs. Soooo much faster and lighter than a full office suite.
