Back when I originally dabbled with using Linux on a computer of my own, maybe around year 2003 or so, I didn't know about rm -rf and was many years from being an adult as well. But I did know about /dev/null, and was really fascinated by the concept of the /dev/ directory!

So, I tried removing a file by

# cat filename > /dev/null  
``` .  
The next time I booted my computer, there was... An error message.  

/dev/null: Not a file

From the perspective of a person who has now used Linux since 1998 (first with only user rights on my parents' computer) this sounds like an absolutely bonkers solution for that problem, but yeah: it's er-em-dash-rm-ef-slash level of error. And those do really happen. It's good to keep in mind what a n00b can be able to do!

They get more money from advertisements if you use the free version. Is an adblocker able to remove the ads from Spotify's audio fred?

(And if it does, does it block Spotify from getting paid for the ad anyway?)

Using the unpaid version doesn't really deny Spotify much any income. Better just move completely away to better platforms.

if your partner falters or strays away, it’s also your fault.

Haha, this reminds me of what happened to me when I was around 15 or 16-year-old :D I had just stumbled upon the pages of Union of Freethinkers of Finland (Link to Wikipedia) and had read most of their relatively long page of "Critique on bible". Here's that page on Archive.org. (These should translate very well if you copypaste them to DeepL )

So, I had spent a couple of hourse reading about ways how the Bible contradicts itself. Then my doorbell rang. And I kept asking these "the Bible is supposed to be interpreted literally" people explanations for why the bible says that "X = 1" here and "X != 1" here, and "Y = 10" here and "Y = 50000" here. Eventually, I think it must have been at least 20 minutes, possibly closer to an hour - hard to say quarter a century afterwards - the chin of one of them started visibly shaking and he started looking really scared. And the other one was starting to look really bad as well. And they basically just abruptly stopped the conversation and without much of "bye!", just turned out and got away from my door with quite some pace!

I did not know to look for one of them being the "boss", so I do not know what happened for sure, but now I'm figuring out it probably went so that the more experienced person of those two started to seriously lose their faith and initiated an escape maneuver.

94.3 F is 34.6 °C. The body temperature is 36 to 37 °C. Therefore, the thermal camera shows the temperature a little bit wrong. It's unlikely that the butt would be much colder than 36 °C.

How did you die?

Maybe he accepted the money, brought it to a safe elsewhere but nearby, and was planning to make the hotdog only once he's back at his hot dog booth? Your selling the hotdog is unfinished and as long as the customer doesn't get their hotdog, you're gonna stay a ghost.

I have watched a couple of them because the only video I have found on some interesting theme has been such a reaction video.

But, I'd say that I do feel kind of comfortable "having someone around" when watching the video. I would still prefer the video without the extra commentator saying things aloud that I can see myself, but I bet there are people who really do get something out of the reaction videos. I'd imagine they are very nice things for the most intoverted among us?

Still, they are there mainly for generating revenue for their makers and for youtube, not so much for some actual need...

I have children and have nothing against someone dating me.

As I consider it okay to date a single parent such as I am, I also consider it okay if at some point a I end up wanting to date someone else who is a single parent as well.

This got me curious! What do you think is an acceptable minimum age for having kids?

Tänu! Sulle ka head aastat!
