There's a number of Linux developers living in the USA. I wouldn't be surprised if any live in the Chicago area.

The politicians and bureaucrats aren't generally the ones making the web sites.

Lately without an ad blocker YouTube will give me an ad every minute. Basically unusable.

I'm in the USA and I've never had to do more than inform my employer that I'm not coming in because I'm sick. I guess it varies by employer.

I didn't know there were two halves or how long they are. I'm over 40 and the first actual soccer match I've seen was in the latest world cup.

I feel like neither system is inherently better outside of familiarity and I don't care which is used I'm just tired of having to own two sets of tools.

There are some decent battery electric mowers and chainsaws that can be great as long as you have the batteries to keep them going long enough.

Depends on what you're hauling also. I'm not interested in doing my regular trash or recycling runs with a minivan, for example, but most of what I do haul would be fine with a min…

Depending on laws in the area, one could have a tank and pump at home, refilled regularly with potentially lower bulk pricing. It's a thing but pretty rare outside of farms in my e…

That 10% might be worth $1 or $2 per month.

I just wish they would wear military uniforms properly in movies. I can handle the rest.

Not exactly what you asked for, but there's ambiguity in the spec leading to different implementations. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11376975/is-there-a-mini...

Compared to a low cost of living region, that's a pretty high cost of living.

I just want to note that HTTP only existed 5 years without curl or wget.

> If someone said 'pure Linux' and it meant the core without loaded modules I wouldn't be shocked. Not sure how useful it would be, though. That probably wouldn't be a useful disti…

That's not true, on a federal level. Colt was selling a civilian model of the ar15 to the public in the 60s
