You spelt exasperate wrong.

ITYM exacerbate.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that there are bribes from the US oil industry involved in that decision, because that’s one of the main groups profiting off the current US fuckup in the middle-east.

Huh. And hereabouts I can generally get a good 250g block of chocolate for the equivalent before tax of US$3.40.

I propose they compromise by going out of business after deleting all data and removing their cameras from everywhere.

Are you suggesting the American Very Spicy might actually come between Mild and Medium? I guess you might be right, but I’m a tad sceptical.

I was given a container of “hot chilli sauce” for christmas. It barely counts as mild to me, and I wouldn’t say I have great spice tolerance.

As did the person you replied to.

The first US war hero of the second world war. A man who missed out on being awarded the Medal of Honor due to the Secretary of the Navy being racist. Why would they ever name a ship after that guy when they could name one after a draft dodging dodderer instead?

People are idiots.

And I’m people.

You can. And you can also make yourself a bearded lady avatar. I recommend trying it out during one of their periodic free play weekends. You’ll either quickly work out what you hate about the game, or you have a higher tolerance for glitches than I did.

Whether it’s technically a scam or not, the naming just makes it far too easy to refer to it as Scam Citizen.

So yours is being crowded out of its niche by the Republican Party?

For adding a quick thing to make something happen at a specific time, I can add a cron job in a couple of minutes. To add a timer takes creating a couple of files with syntax that took me a while to look up last time I needed it, and running a command. Then debugging. Sure, the timer has benefits, but cron jobs are still simpler.

On the bright side, there’s actually a “crontab -t” command that apparently can be used to generate timer files from a crontab line, which I hadn’t known of before today.

Systemd is fine, but we should be aiming for better than fine.

That being said., there’s definitely something to be said for sticking with “fine” until something else proves itself to be at least adequate with potential to be better than merely fine.

As someone who’s created a timer, cron is much more straightforward.

Systemd has its good points, but most of that is the core functionality as a sysvinit replacement in my opinion. And it’s entirely likely that at least one of the newer alternatives is a better option for that.
