I mean, the people of a bloodline are literal descendents of a specific person, while a family tree shows people who marry in as well.

The fact that you dont place value on knowing exactly how generically related you are to the person you wanna bang is fine, but to say its "made up" is stupid. Its made up in exactly the same way every part of human culture is made up.

Bwahahah, yes it do be like that. 40k is 100% over the top and it also takes itself 100% seriously. Imagine if Michael Bay and Tommy Wiseau made a universe together

I'm not the angry autist that started the argument. He is indeed an angry autist. Doesnt change that he has at least one valid point. He is a dick though.

That said, I agree with the initial sentiment he expressed, and including myself in it. The fact is there is a perception that Linux is complicated, and we aren't helping ourselves, since we dont explain shit.

Linux does not solve OPs problem. Telling them to use Linux does not help them at all because its so far from how to actually get what they want and introduces so many new problems that its laughable.

The fact that using Linux allows them to find workarounds to the specific problems is not a solution in and of itself, and holy shit are there still usability problems with Linux if you start doing anything slightly complicated, which it seems like OP is.

Linux people be like:

  1. Draw a circle.
  2. Draw the rest of the owl

The blind egotism and arrogance of Linux users really is quite twatish. You guys are just insufferable. Being right doesnt make you less insufferable.

In all seriousness, its gonna depend. If it can survive minimal ventilation, throw a shoebox with some holes at it. You probably dont want it getting touched, but so long as its not, you're prolly fine.

That'd work, but Sagan opted for portable fax.

Or, and hear me out, you could say "portable fax" and be done with it. YOU are making it complicated by not being culturally acclimated to the timeframe when it was written. Everyone knew what faxes were, no explanation was necessary.

Portable fax: thing that sends and receives messages

Portable Fax IS how you describe SMS in the 80s.

I dont mean that your understanding is unimportant, but that you inherently understand what's being described to a degree that to hear it described differently than you expect you reject what you hear in favor of assuming the folks in the 80s needed more than "portable fax" to understand what you are on about.
