This is great until your job outgrows a single computer or you want to have redundancy. Also, chains of bash tools don't have the best error management when something chokes in one of the middle steps in the pipe. You can still leverage simple bash tools for a lot of the under the hood stuff, but you start needing something more to act as the glue petty quickly when you scale. KISS should still apply.

They have burned out their own bullshit.

When every single opponent is the most radical left extremist who ever walked the face of the earth, it becomes meaningless ramblings even to their base. Just like crooked ~~Hilary~~, ~~Obama~~, ~~Biden~~, Harris.

He's not on the unfinished Empire State Building because the finished building is behind him.

Looks like something in midtown. Maybe Rockefeller Building?

All that I can picture is a tug o war where one side is struggling and the other side lets go, and they all fall down. Only in this video you hear pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop as the line lets go.

Look at mister fancy pants with and assembler.

How about entering straight opcode, operand with only a hex keypad and two pairs of 7 segment LEDs. You can only see one set of numbers at a time. You had to write it out on paper to be able to keep track and count positions so you don't use your spot.

I had to do this as a project in school. Two 8088 units that we breadboarded to a UART that we used to drive a fiber optic link to communicate with each other with a basic protocol. All descrete components hand wired and coded.

It made you tie all of skills together into a full system of hardware and software.

The flip side is that now that cars have zero ashtrays, most smokers just throw the butts out the window.

The LED elements last a lifetime, but the driver transistors burn out as frequently as traditional bulbs

TIL that Linux users are a bunch of lucky crabs.

This seems the most likely reason. It is sort of like they teach in first aid. You don't say someone call 911 because everyone thinks someone else will. You need to tell one person directly.

The problem here is that it is not a group of untrained bystanders stumbling upon a surprise emergency. There is supposed to be a pre-established chain of command and group to take these reports and ensure that they are investigated.

Hell, I was part of events where governors made appearances, and the county had their communication command post setup and even gave radios and a briefing to our volunteers at gates and all of the area leads to report anything directly to the command post.

Christian excuse: Jesus technically wasn't a Christian either.

Isn't a score in the 70's borderline mentally disabled?
