gregorum,

Seconded

gregorum,

oy. ok

gregorum,

right, but the OS version number is 14.2.1. it’s the microkernel that’s 23.2.0

[Resolved] Debian 12: trying to auto-mount a NTFS-formatted hard drive by making an entry in fstab. Getting the error "mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 18 -- ignored"

Here’s the entry in the fstab file for mounting my hard drive. I have bolded the name of the hard drive (that’s what it shows up as on the dock when it isn’t mounted):...

sometimes there are those times when you’ve been at it for 6-8 hours straight with no break, and you keep staring at that one line in your config, trying so hard to see this mistake. is it a comma out of place? did i missplell something? no? and you’re staring at it so long that you just don’t see the glaringly obvious:


<span style="color:#323232;">***New Volume***
</span>

it’s that one remnant that you probably copy/pasted from a tutorial page and you’re too brain-fried to consider that it’s a part of the line you should have changed, so you’re not looking at it, but there it is. but, hey, that’s why forums like this exist: to get a fresh pair of eyes on the problem.

we’ve all been there.

according to the study, small cars have been responsible for just as many fatalities - or not an amount disproportionate to their number - in the US, so it’s not really big car problem as much as you might suppose. this may have to do with that drivers of small cars can often drive more recklessly, but that’s speculation. And, sure, you can fiddle with your phone with a manual transmission, but, seemingly, most don’t. The difficulty makes it far, far, less likely.

but the biggest takeaways from he study seems to be 1) modern road/highway infrastructure in the US is built to get as many cars moving as fast as possible and give little-to-no consideration to pedestrians or their safety, and this need to change, and 2) the particularly American culture around in-car smartphone use needs to change via far harsher penalties for distracted diving and other behaviors which endanger pedestrians.

Yeah, it took me to the article, not the podcast. You being an asshole about it doesn’t change that fact.

Blocked

gregorum,

That’s the article not the podcast

gregorum, (edited )

It was and still is unclear what you were asking me to prove.

I made myself very clear:

It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism shortly after it happened

here’s the thing, though: by no measure could this statement be considered even remotely true…The argument you propose, conversely, lacks the obvious evidentiary support required to substantiate such… an ambitious arguments yours….come back with evidence to support your claims.

A comparison isn’t a statement of fact, it’s to illustrate how two things are similar.

which you failed to do spectacularly by comparing two things which bear no resemblance in the way you suggest:

It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism

because it wasn’t, for it achieved none of its intended goals. if it is your assertion that it did, it’s your job to prove that, which you have not.

I further explained why I feel that it was fair to compaire them

no you then used this straw man instead:

Do you want evidence that people died in the tororist attacks, or that the statement is offensive?

then you used a series of unrelated equivocations rather than addressing the flaw in your logic: the lack of efficacy of the 9/11 attacks as a tool for social or political change (the entire premise from the start).

If you want to keep picking things apart for the sake of it though, have at it.

you’re not a victim because you made a terrible argument and got called out for it.

is that clear enough for you now?

It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism shortly after it happened

here’s the thing, though: by no measure could this statement be considered even remotely true.

what does the following statement have to do with it?

Do you want evidence that people died in the tororist attacks, or that the statement is offensive?

because, at no point, did anyone ask for evidence of nor call into doubt either of those claims.

gregorum,

ok, so, you do have amnesia and have forgotten our entire conversation. well, then I suggest you go back to the beginning because I’m not walking you through this again.

gregorum, (edited )

except for the first time you said it in your last comment, show me where you said “9/11 was a terrorist attack" before. because what you were arguing before was:

It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism

do you have amnesia?

gregorum, (edited )

if that’s what you meant, perhaps you should have said that at some point…

I don’t know how this could have been clearer

by saying what you mean and actually providing evidence to back up your claims, as I have said repeatedly.

gregorum,

I never said that 9/11 was a successful use of terrorism

I have quoted you several times saying exactly that.

I said that the statement Data made about the troubles being successful was offensive and would be similar to saying the same thing about other terrorist attacks.

you may have intended to argue that, but you clearly argued:

It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism

and now you keep insisting that:

You then aggressively began demanding evidence for something that was never a statement of fact, making it unclear what you were talking about.

when you very clearly said this:

It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism

and now are acting indignant that I have to keep reminding you of that and how you’re somehow unclear of why after I’ve explained it several times.

I’’m very sorry you can’t wrap your head around this. and, yes, it’s best you don’t respond again, as I’d just keep repeating myself.

i’d like to know what hallucinogen you’re on or neurological damage you have, as you keep responding to things i never said-- i never mentioned a 30 year-old cell phone.

gregorum, (edited )

that’s exactly what blaming me for something i didn’t say is

gregorum,

Not always

gregorum,

It’s complicated

gregorum,

I love it when he goes topless, and that episode in his undies was pretty nice. Trinneer was such a hottie, although things got weird on Stargate Atlantis.

They’d have to scan it in first, but perhaps they have already?

Edit: there seems to be some debate as to the quality of replicated food, even within Trek. Personally, I think it depends on a number of variables including the quality of the sample scanned in, the quality and working order of the replicator used to replicate food, etc. Not all replicators are equal.

Also, one can replicate ingredients and then use a replicator to cook a dish as one would in a normal kitchen (although how is unclear), potentially creating a better (or worse) version of a dish with nuance and a personal touch. We have seen Janeway attempt this with various degrees of success— or, more often, failure.

gregorum,

Pass the honey mustard 

gregorum,

Hugh Laurie deserved an Emmy for that alone. 

gregorum,

GIVE YOU UP!

gregorum, (edited )

The Fifty-Year Mission, that was it. It was made into a documentary that’s on P+.

Edit: IIRC, the book’s the memoirs of legendary Trek writer and on-again, off-again Roddenberry mistress D. C. Fontana who is also interviewed in the documentary. It’s a good one!

gregorum,

gregorum,

Just because Chekov wasn’t on the bridge and we didn’t see him doesn’t mean that he wasn’t still part of the crew somewhere else on the ship. When we finally did see Chekov in Season 2, he at no point claimed to have just joined the crew.
