Thank goodness for distro repositories with somewhat-vetted software.

Yeah, which is why I added the note about cleaning power per unit volume. But it'd have to be a fair bit more powerful to make the effort worth it, I think.

We use maybe 50ml of Tide (so that'd be probably 100 loads) when doing our laundry, so if that's equivalent to like one tablespoon of the Borax mix, I could see it saving me $20 or so overall, if it's three times stronger.

So it'd come down to how much time I spend shopping and combining the mixture vs just buying it.

Mind, that's just the borax. Bar soap and baking soda are cheap but not free.

(edit: and before someone jumps on me about "baking soda", I was thinking of it in terms of decomposing it into carbonate in the oven. I haven't priced out washing soda)

Who's radicalizing? There's no US invaders on Canadian soil, what are we radicalizing against?

A fascist takeover of Canada would inevitably result in a guerilla war. This is just a fact.

Oh gods... the man really is an idiot. :( At least Harper was shrewd.

He may be too dumb to be effective politically, I hope.

The Long Dark. Something about wandering an icy wasteland scavenging, hunting, fishing, works for me.

They could add a bid price, so that you automatically buy at a certain price level. Sure, you could bid 0.10, but they'd probably never actually take it. And that way, they could know how much money is laying on the table. If there's a thousand bids for $50, that gives them a pricing signal.

That could end up whiplashing as the administration passes between US factions, no?

Gender affirming surgery.

Not necessarily, I find it moronic too. Like why is it even a discussion? Let people do what they want. It doesn't harm anyone and might make them a lot happier.

It would be cool if the GNU project sponsored a new updated 'standard' set of tools though.

It really does feel a lot like the old forums are back, but now they can talk to each other. This should have happened a decade ago!
