Didn't watch much of it at all as he didn't seem to be making much sense. 1) There have been lockdowns and they continue at this very moment. Australia is somewhat unusual in that SARS-2 hasn't really taken hold (has not become endemic) anywhere in Australia to this point. Anyway, to this...

This isn't minor. As the Pilgrim said the Pfizer vaccine has not been approved. The approved vaccine, approved in an extraordinary way (as the Pilgrim also said) with NO external input or oversight, isn't even available. So the only vaccine which is available is the one, for which if it, for...

Not surprisingly, it looks like the laws can be very rubbery in these areas (in Commonwealth countries at least). Some former discussions of this, regarding Australia, which I would presume would be much like Canada, although I guess one could always hope that it wouldn't be quite as bad...

That's interesting because it wasn't very dated (last time, this year?). The application did just seem to play very nice muzak but I didn't know whether the problem was somehow my location or not. Arch is usually comparatively fast but it does all depend. That's one reason, I'm slowly moving...

I've never actually posted a question to the Arch forums. I usually don't need to. As you noted, they are so thorough and like to get to be bottom of things, which is perhaps why they are so informative. They do have quite a reputation for this as well as their superiority so I guess you only...

I quickly discovered when installing Arch that you could install so few packages that it was not even possible to update the system. That was about the only thing that required me to reinstall it. Ever since, I've downloaded every network package I could find before rebooting. I couldn't...

I've been using Arch for years without even being aware that there was an installer! So thanks! You are right, one never seems to need to have to reinstall. I don't know that it is that easy to maintain, even if it is easier to install now. Though if one is willing to learn, the Arch wiki...

Bettina's wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bettina_Arndt A discussion that Arndt had with Jordan Peterson: It is a bit slow a first but steadily warms up. Some highlights: . At Peterson's children's school, children were not allowed to pick up snow. . He thinks that in a...

Actually, Bettina Arndt is perfectly legit. She has always had quite distinctive views. Indeed, it seems as though she was recently awarded an Order of Australia, which at least suggests that Australia hasn't sunk quite as low as Canada yet. But - yes - it seems as though there were protests...

RTF is a very old MS format, so there are plenty of word processors that will output it (such as AbiWord). PDF isn't even a MS file type. What operating system are you on and what format is your resume? Libre Office is an (admittedly probably quite large) free office suit that can probably...

Great description. One big happy family. It's a pity the Turks didn't also get to join before things began to fall apart. I certainly didn't mean to slight the real significance of Greece, which is probably the inhumanity of their treatment. It's hardly been civilized and surely doesn't...

One hopes so. As the article discussed, they haven't come to their senses yet and how much time do they have? Greece has been in a depression for over a decade now hasn't it. So that would probably need to be a 'significant' potential failed member state, as opposed to an insignificant one...

Thanks for the link. Oddly, it's the first time I'd heard the expression 'frugal four' which is so fitting. As you said (perhaps in another thread) these problems are really nothing new, dating back at the very least the disastrous formation of the Euro Zone (which the British wisely avoided)...

Note that it was written by Mark Manson (who quite a few people around here will be familiar with) and so not a woman.

Most of the article is about the benefits of being single for people in general rather just women and so it is hardly pro marriage for either. His argument for men getting married is also rather weird. Supposedly, it involves LESS risk:

What is likely to be the legal standing of her behaviour? Is this assault? Imagine if the roles were reversed. I can remember Bible Belt saying something about the risks of shouting at someone in California.

This sounds like the crazy 30s that logicallefty and others have talked about. Thanks for explaining at least one source of the enormous risks one faces at work these days. How a mere joke can get you fired, even in the best of circumstances. I've seen this sort of thing happen and have had...

I don't know where you got the idea from that men are overwhelmingly responsible for divorces; perhaps a woman? Did you see who was copping the majority of the abuse in that thread? Remarks like this suggest that you have absolutely no idea. Divorce (like marriage in general) is a VERY nasty...

Thanks for the nice break down. It was difficult to watch. I obviously didn't see it, but the people in the comments to the above clip are saying the Japanese player practically apologized for winning after the match! There is an interesting video on Youtube in which Joe Rogan and Jordan...

Thanks for that. I ended up posting it without the links. If I need to post links, I'll ask someone to do it for me until I get to the 25 post limit.
