Christopher Columbus (Squirrels & Onions remix) doesn't technically have lyrics, but I always sing the title words along with the beat, at least in my head. Kinda of like how a lot of EDM just turns into Boots and Cats in my head.

The Star Trek Theme was originally composed with lyrics.

I'm sure there are other birds that look more like the sketch on the right.

1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes. This is a hill I'll die on.

The byte isn't even the base unit. Wanna talk about 1000 bits? Fine, that would be totally useless and confusing, but at least it would be consistent. Using decimal prefixes to describe binary numbers is just nonsensical. It's like trying to round off calendar days to a decimal approximation. Is the metric year 300 days? Fuck no, that's dumb,and so is saying a kilobyte is only 1000 bytes. The prefix is just a short hand, it's obvious that its precise meaning can and should change based on the unit, especially when forcing a decimal number system fails to be useful.

And furthermore, what about radians? Both radians and kilobytes are basically just a grouping mechanism for counting something else. Nobody talks about radians in decimal terms, always multiples or fractions of Pi. Kilobytes aren't really any different conceptually.

There is no such thing as official English, so it's only as official as it is popularly used by English speakers.

Using crontab to execute these kinds of quick fixes that don't really solve the problem so much as reset the countdown to failure are the real Duck tape Linux hacks.

Similarly, there are a lot of really lazy bad maps out there that are trying to make some point about a statistic, but are really just population density maps. Give your up votes to the person that links the appropriate xkcd.

I've also found that the documentation online is much better, or at least easier to search, with Ubuntu in particular than any other distro. This is probably mostly due to popularity at this point as you said, but I think they got that popularity because of the straight forward and easy to digest documentation. And I'm not just talking about self-help support forums, I mean published and polished wikis and guides hosted by the distro itself.

I didn't blame anyone for anything except maybe not seeing astronauts getting asked about poop all the time. You specifically are being a troll and generating some fucking weird rage bait where there is none.

Yeah, I agree, the OPs reaction here is kinda surreal. I mean, I grew up watching astronauts answer dumb kiddy questions while floating in zero G. When the shuttle was regularly going up in was a regular thing for kids to see on TV. There was ALWAYS a poop/pee/fart question. ALWAYS. This joke in Enterprise is nothing more than a nod to that. I guess Gen Z didn't ~~pay as much attention to space poop ~~ see as many of these interviews because the shuttle program ended before their time?

This logic is bonkers. Lurkers are part of the community too. Everyone participates in their own way.

Just hand them a piece of paper of blacked out redacted lines (because confidentiality) and an illegible signature.

I had a district manager once demand I bring in a note after calling in sick. I just told them "No, you don't pay me enough to go to the doctor and I wouldn't share any of my medical information with you anyway, you can't make me." I never heard anything more about it.

Lots of employers have "rules" on the books that are realistically unenforceable or out right illegal.
