“Email clients?” … boom! ;)

Never had that in the US AFAIK, but we used to have to pay by the SMS text.

Orange litterbug?

I admire your optimism, but I am disheartened by the very fact that US voters responded the way they did in November. Only those interested in scientifically-accurate data would care, and they are clearly a minority.

Believe it or not, this is a perfect time to leave a voice mail. The not answering spam calls I am normalized with, but the refusal to use voice mail for important calls is inexcusable.

You must have done more than rename a partition… it is looking for the partition UID and not finding it. Since the UID is never supposed to change until the partition gets wiped, this is very odd indeed.

Also, putting external volumes (usb stick?) into fstab is not a good idea… let the automount find it when you put it in and want to access it.

Bash is always there, and bash scripts and snippets are precise. Describing gui manipulations when the GUI keeps changing is also quite hard… what if the person you are interacting with has a 2-yo system and you have the bleeding edge? Even knowing which menu the settings are in can be frustrating for the helper.

Windows users (e.g. me at work) get grumpy when Microsoft starts changing the menu structure after keeping it consistent for 20 years and start thinking of powershell scripts to create consistency between our engineering workstations.

sorry, used caps as emphasis… I have no idea if it is an acronym…

Doesn’t stop politicians from trying…

wait, so now both CCP and NSA get to mine TT?

A polar land grab is consistent with their plans to accelerate global warming though.

… today.

Oh! I know! I would have to first install them, roght?

All depends which traditions you favor.

His admiration for "strong’ leaders (dictators) starts to take shape. Supplying weapons to Ukraine to fight military aggression doesn’t seem appropriate when you can simply try to outdo Putin at his own game.

Julius Caesar did this… it is not a new pattern.

They are text files. If there is anything weird about them it is that they are indented with spaces and if you are inconsistent with indentation they won’t read into the yaml import function, but I can’t imagine why vim or nano would have a problem with opening them. Maybe the ones you were using were not actually yaml.

Totally lost me. Why the hate on YAML?

If you want the job, go back. If they don’t want to deal with a fragile person then it is up to them to fire you. Next time just say “I don’t know” and keep flipping burgers.

Not “debugging” … the value comes before I even try to run the code. The background syntax checker highlights when the types don’t agree into and out of each function call and I don’t get errors like trying to index into an integer.

As for time… I guessed… I did not measure. I have limited time to play with this and don’t optimize unless I find myself waiting excessively for an answer.
