ursakhiin,

If you are a gamer and have a need for a portable computer and can only afford a single machine, gaming laptops are great. I also had one for a while that I was using for lan parties and conventions. Worked great.

ursakhiin,

From Texas. I’m actually kinda surprised to hear how slow people are driving there. Our perspective is largely that the Autobahn is generally people driving closer to 160km/h.

We have roads here that are limited to 136km/h. So it’s kinda surprising to find out that most Autobahn drivers aren’t breaking that speed.

ursakhiin,

Our max is 85mph (~136kmph) in some areas. I think that’s the highest in the US.

ursakhiin,

On the slim chance you’re arguing in good faith and are just unaware. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_GIF

A number of analysis have been done on this subject. Polling showed that more people pronounce with a hard g. Most dictionaries list a hard g as the primary pronunciation. More words that begin with gi use the hard g.

Adding a PSA to state that you shouldn’t take medical advice from random people on the Internet.

If you are trained in CPR, follow your training. If your certification has expired you should re-up it. There are legal reasons some training says certain things in different areas and following your training will protect you even if you go to a place with different laws.

ursakhiin,

There is a cheaper option for just a single account. 13.99 in the US. I think that’s a reasonable price and would pay it if it was just me. I just wish there was an option between 1 person and a whole family.

ursakhiin,

:note: I know this isn’t the point of your comment but I wanted you to be able to have a non-insulting conversation on the topic.

Premium is more than it should be and ads on YouTube arent handled very well i.e. Obnoxious

I watch adless on my phone, but still use the default app to stream to my TV and generally let the ads play through.

23 dollars a month for 2 people on a family plan is just nuts, though. If they had a 2 person option that was like 17-18 then I’d probably get it.

ursakhiin,

I was in Japan this year and didn’t see any Mexican food in the 3 major cities I visited. I’m not saying it does not exist but it’s definitely not common if it does.

That also makes sense, though. Food in Japan, even the foreign food, has a specific palette it’s targeting. Mexican food is extremely different from Japanese food.

Typically, any food that is introduced to a new culture is successful once it’s adapted to that cultures palette. Any Mexican food being successful in Japan would likely be more akin to the Mexican/Asian fusion places we have in the States than traditional Mexican food.

ursakhiin,

My whole bingo card is zero wars happening.

Sure, I’m unlikely to win. But if I do, wouldn’t it be grand!?

Run command as not-root

Hi everyone

At work, I have to run a command in an AWS instance. In that particular instance only exists the root user. The command should not be executed with root privileges (it executes mpirun, which is not recommended to run as sudo or the machine might break), so I was wondering if there is a way to block or disable the sudo privileges while the command is running. As mentioned, the only user existing there is root, so I suppose "sudo -u" is not an option.

Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks in advance!

ursakhiin,

If everything on the machine is owned by root and does not provide global read or execute permissions then a new user would not be able to access it without being in the root group. Assuming the files have group permissions set at all anyways.
