I make the network go, and stop, and go again at @csail.mit.edu. Usually located somewhere in eastern Massachusetts.

Not actually a colander full of beans. He/him (or they/them).
I recommend switching on every machine that supports it. Note that you can set up the disk for both. Not sure about the BIOS on something as old as an x30 though. Should at least run Lifecycle Controller and get whatever upgrades you can.

Or maybe I'm making a different point.

And they are all in violation of federal law.

The practical difference is that Trump hasn't decided to go after them yet. You can speculate on why.

Actually might be 10 seconds too short. Oh well.

"States where weed is illegal" is all 50 of them. It has never been legal (in my lifetime) anywhere in the US and all the local referendums can't change that, it's illegal by federal law and only Congress can legalize it.

French Wikipedia tells me that in French they are called "passerelles mobiles" and that, in addition to YMX where I remember them from, they were/are also used at YUL and CDG in addition to IAD, as well as EDW (by NASA) and MEX.

About 4 times out of 10 I still forget to `zpool set bootfs=` on the new pool and have to reboot back to the old pool to fix that.

That's one way. I usually just quiesce the machine and do the replication online (obviously wouldn't work for some kinds of servers) and accept that the root pool will have a different name, which is easy to do over SOL on a decent mobo without wrestling with crappy BMC remote USB media kluges.

Too many of "our" Democrats can't talk about LGBTQ+ issues without being agitated to "have to be on the side of those people." They can't talk about supporting the poor without apologizing to the rich because they might not be able to buy that fourth vacation home.

I want proud people.

Once again, not only am I 0/6, I haven't even heard of any of the authors.

If the Senate Democrats were in charge at Yorktown, after days of bombardment, the British Commander sends out his emissaries to surrender, the Democratic leadership then sends out their emissaries to surrender, making for an awkward meeting.

You could have taken the bus home in less time!

That's it for me until next week!

Ok, next season, that feature in the combo or layback spin is officially called the "Sakamoto", are we all agreed? #gpfigure #nhktrophy

Samodelkina's program much more to my liking, even if the music is ALW. #gpfigure #nhktrophy

Young You's program left me a bit cold, but at least it was clean. #gpfigure #nhktrophy

Finally another clean skate, and it's Loena! I'm so pleased, even though I don't much care for her program music. Mark points out she just had ankle surgery in February. #gpfigure #nhktrophy
