Ukraine don't want to give up territory. Russia demands territory to end the war. Trump has offered to resolve this in 24h. The conclusion seems clear: Trump has to offer Russia some parts of the US in exchange for releasing the occupied regions in Ukraine?

Doesn't North Koreans fighting in Ukraine mean that North Korea now is at war with Ukraine? Wouldn't that legitimize a Ukrainian invasion of North Korea? Could we ship some Ukrainians to North Korea and have them do a lot of damage there; including offer asylums to anyone who wants to get out?

Would it work for you to drive to a larger parking garage (or even better, use public transport to a larger subway or bus station) and then use some form of battery operated micro-transport type vehicle fit for your type of limitation to move around the sidewalks/bike lanes in what can then be a more compact city center?

Anyone want to team up to build a time machine and travel the future until the perfect utopia is achieved?

How about we team up and try to make this world better instead?

Nope, this redefinition isn't necessary, it is a choice SI made. Nothing would have broken by keeping an exact relationship between amount of substance and mass, it would just have retained the interpretation of Avogadro's constant from before 2019 (experimentally determined vs a defined constant).

... weighs one gram ... An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it.

Not only was this never true - the sentence would have to have say "An amount of carbon-12 atoms weighing 12 times this amount has exactly 1 mole atoms in it" (far less elegant) -- but not even this is true any longer after the fuckup in redefining the mole in 2019, after which all these relations between amount of substance and mass are only approximate.

This whole rapey lingo needs to fucking die already.

Maybe widely name-calling this practice for what it is could help steer companies away from this disgusting pattern.

Should we start refering to pop-ups that give no option to say "no" as something like "rape-ups"?

"I've created this amazing program that more or less precisely mimics the response of a human to any question!"

"What if I ask it a question where humans are well known to apply all kinds of biases? Will it give a completely unbiased answer, like some kind of paragon of virtue?"

"No"

After checking that you can open port 53 udp yourself with, say, nc (which you tried), strace the binary that tries to open port 53 and fails, and find the system call that fails. You can compare it with an strace on nc to see how it differs.

If this doesn't clue you in (e.g., you see two attempts to listen to the same port...) Next step would be to find in the source code where it fails (look for the error message printout) and start adding diagnostic printouts before the failing system call and compile and run your edited version.
