LBM (little brown mushrooms): consider it dangerous unless you really are a true expert.

TBF all the manned planes are made by Boeing…

It’s probably temporary, this has happened before. But it does seem like most major AA sites are down.

This is a useful tool to track the main instances: https://open-slum.org/

What field were you in? Journal fees should either have been paid by your advisor’s funding or they should be the one paying.

I’ve actually heard this in a more egregious form. I once heard someone claim that sarcasm is an anglosphere phenomenon and someone that isn’t a native English speaker would never be able to understand sarcasm.

Well, going after low hanging fruit, people that think shoplifting is a major expense for most retail stores that would cause locations to shut down. Obviously self checkout and how it makes abuses and shoplifting easier shows that that is a much smaller cost than just the labor of paying a cashier. It is always advantageous for PR reasons to blame crime and shoplifting rather than a lack of profitability or demand for shutting down locations.

But on a more serious note, it is a lack of curiosity or unwillingness to challenge really simplified narratives about common facets of daily living. A more original answer might be the lack of ability to pick up on jokes or sarcasm.

I did somewhat feel betrayed or disappointed after my thermodynamics professor made this joke, thinking it was funny, and then finding out how ubiquitous it is.

I would say the most leftest right, just because of noting what the adjective and noun are.

Hague Invasion Act, lets go!

I still use X because at least last time I tried (admittedly over a year ago) some of my apps didn’t work right on Wayland (KLayout, if I remember correctly).

The Great Man just decided it should collapse.

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx

Currently, I use Arch BTW.

A useful setup for the future is to keep home as a separate partition. Then you should be able to reinstall a different distro on the root partition and have all the data carried over. There is some bleed over in that all your dotfiles will carry over, but usually that doesn’t break anything and is usually a plus (e.g. all your firefox addons and preferences will immediately be applied in the new install)

In recent developments, 10% of the US GDP is now allocated to producing Astronomy and Astrophysics plots. More news at 9.
