Great analogy.

I think it's fair to tweak it and leave that second library with full accountability for the lack of desirability.

Domain names don't start out undesirable, they build their reputation from the content and users.

So it's like building a second library in a perfectly nice spot, and having that library attract people who dump pollution into the surrounding area, making it undesirable.

The actual act of exercise is pretty miserable for most of us. It's the hours in between exercises that for better, for me. I just generally feel better when I'm exercising more.

It sounds like you're getting plenty of exercise, so it's time to check into vitamins, meditation, mindfulness exercises and whatever else.

In your shoes, I would keep exercising, to keep that variable controlled while I tried the next change.

Plausible explanation.

Immutable distros can usually be set to mutable with the correct privileged command.

It's essentially security by obscurity. But I disagree with "no benefit". An infection miss through dumb luck is still a miss, after all.

Or add more competition to the market by having government provide cheap alternatives to food/shelter.

That's the solution I think all civilized nations will land at, plus universal basic income.

So everyone has an option for effectively free (since their UBI covers it) water, food, shelter, and transportation. But standard free market sources can compete to outdo the public options in any ways the public desires.

There's plenty still to do, since anyone invotating can outdo the public option, and make some extra money for their effort. While, at the same time, no one has to be quite as dragged down by an aunt with failing health who cannot work, anymore.

And any mega corporations that try to force everyone into closed lousy situations have to at least compete with the public option.

Of course, any mega corporations allowed to thrive will immediately try to kill off public options, which we do already see happen.

I bought a "fixer-upper" recently, so I fill most days off with minor home repair projects. I'm using it as an excuse to build a decent little project workbench, though.

Just so you know, this isn't Reddit. You've just been blocked by everyone reading along here.

If you start to feel like no one replies here, it's actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.

Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?
