If the sun were to go out it would take 8 minutes for the light to stop but 13 years for the sound to stop.

Kind of like when you kill an enderman. 🤔

I did try that but unfortunately it didn't work on my system. There is also an option for the systemctl reboot command that I haven't tried yet but plan to next time I need to get into the BIOS. IIRC it's --firmware-setup. It's supposed to reboot you into the BIOS, but whether it works or not depends on if your hardware supports it.

I'm glad to have it. I have to keep my old PS/2 keyboard plugged into that slot so I can get into the BIOS. My USB keyboard isn't recognized until it's too late to interrupt the boot process.

I saw someone mentioned that if something happened and a seat was vacated early, one of the justices whose term had expired could be brought in to serve in that seat until it is filled with a new person at the next scheduled time. But that seems to mean that some other justice(s) more senior than the one who vacated might wind up serving more than the normal 18 years as they wouldn't be replaced until the next cycle.

As far as a president getting to appoint 3 justices in one term, we just had that with trump. IMO there really should be more than just 9 seats. A common suggestion is 13, one for each District.

Brace yourself for a massive disinformation campaign against Harris as soon as they recover from the initial shock. Don't buy into any crap you see about her going forward. Eat no for breakfast.

“She’s going to need help,” he said, noting she won’t be eligible for social security because she has been incarcerated for so long.

FFS she's owed a hell of a lot more than social security! 😠 The court should also order the state to pay her a huge damages payment that will afford a comfortable income for the rest of her life.

It's just compose ~ ~ (tilde tilde). The compose key sequences are often the most logical thing you can think of. Emacs C-x 8 is good but you have to try and guess the unicode name of the character.

Take a pill with your head turned to the side toward your shoulder and it will go down much more easily.

I had the same problem as you with different states of wear/color over time. So the last time I bought a whole bag of matching socks, when I first took out each pair I put a matching mark on the inside surface of each sock (like 1 dot, 2 dots, 3 in a row, 3 in a triangle, different color mark, etc). So then I can easily pair them all up correctly after I do the laundry.
