Chepas, moi… Pourquoi pas G’b’ntu tant qu’à faire?

Neat. What does your OS tell you it is?

True, but then it should have been GendUbuntu… Although people may think that’s a guy named Jean d’Ubuntu.

The kernel recently surpassed 40 million lines of code, so there’s lots of room to add more fucks and shits.

“GendBuntu” is an atrocious name, and it doesn’t sound good in French either (perhaps even worse). I don’t know why they insisted on referencing Ubuntu in the name. GendarmOS would have been fine, or GendarmeSE to be more correct.

Ukrainians aren’t brown, though.

That was such a good episode - I think the first episode during my first rewatch since it first aired when I realized this show had more of an edge than I remembered.

It would be easier to just let us all know you didn’t read the article.

At the time [product launch in 2022] he was bullish about the Zone’s chances: “After six years in development, we’re excited to deliver pure air and pure audio, anywhere.”

Ironically their timing was almost spot-on for COVID… I could see these being somewhat useful for air travel, for example.

Well, there are “plans” and then there are plans. I’m certain Canada has a “plan” for military operations against the US should that be necessary, but we aren’t planning it.

The USA was already not a serious country but this is so pathetic that it wouldn’t make it into a movie script for being too far-fetched.

Cognitive dissonance is deeply uncomfortable and most people will double down on whatever will validate their priors rather than face a preponderance of sources that contradict them.

Not surprising since one of his kids is enby and he seems to actually care about being a good parent. Still nice to see and hear, though.

Who could have foreseen that the guy who said “I’d love to be a dictator” is doing dictator things? Certainly not the 77 million people who voted for him.

Also, the actual usage manuals for these things state that… you are not to fire them directly at someone closer than approximately 200-400 feet, what you are supposed to do is fire them at the ground at a shallow angle, such that they bounce or ricochet upward at a shallow angle…

This is incorrect, but a very widespread misunderstanding.

Guidelines from the Geneva Human Rights Platform suggest that rubber bullets should be directed at the lower body (the guidelines actually caution against “skip-firing” or shooting at the ground first, because it makes them too unpredictable). The potential for a rubber bullet to ricochet, Heisler explains, makes for a dangerous situation. https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/rubber-bullets-cannot-be-used-safely
