Restore previous session, and I've used the same machine for 12 years. If I really wanted to migrate to a different computer I could save all open tabs as bookmarks. There's been a few cases where I lost all the tabs, and I reopened those I remembered and figured the rest failed the rapid unscheduled tab cleanup.

Not the person you asked, but at some point I stopped using bookmarks and just started leaving 900 tabs open. I had no rational reason for this transition.

Let's take a wild guess at whether they comply...

Well, yeah. The Russian idea of peace is "Ukraine surrenders and is annexed by Russia". The EU is definitely hindering that.

Funny because it's true? If you want updates all the time, install Arch. If you want as few updates as possible, pick some LTS distro.

Different scope, though. I don't think quarter or no quarter affects the whole country's willingness to surrender (the chance of that is basically zero either way), but it does affect individuals. If you have a few enemy combatants holed up somewhere, it could cost you a lot of people, ammo and time you'd rather spend somewhere else to take them out. They know they can't win, and it's either surrender or die. But if surrender means death, they'll definitely not surrender. Now you need to eliminate them the hard way.

Of course, doing it that way requires more resources, which I guess is good for business in the military industrial complex.

You just know the defense will be "he doesn't know what it means, he just heard it in a movie once and thought it sounded badass".

Also a great way to make the enemy fight to the death, causing you more casualties in the process. What a dumbass.

The way the Republicans got to the position they are today was to focus on local races and the judiciary. Leftists have until recently thought that as long as they win the presidency everything is a-ok, but that is clearly not the case.

Pay attention to the local races, especially the primaries so the good candidates make it to the general election, and if possible run yourself, and there is a chance to turn it around. But it will take a decade or two of hard work to turn it around, assuming we get to keep having elections

As soon as actually progressive candidates have enough people in the legislature to have a Tea Party-like pull, you'll start seeing some improvement. The hard part is getting there.

I've seen comments claiming to be from his local area saying he was always a bit like this. I don't think he ran a particularly leftist campaign, though, he just looked leftist compared to Dr. Oz.

I don't think Fetterman was a full bait and switch like that snake Kyrsten Sinema.

If the guy protests putting the condom on, I wouldn't trust them to keep it on during the entire act. Stealthing is common enough that it has its own slang term.

However, it's easy for me to recommend withdrawing consent, but in the moment when the guy has already been a bit scary during the condom conversation, it's not always so easy.

Shame on him for completely fucking up the vibe.
