I think control theory, after reading the Wikipedia first paragraph, is using doing math to calculate how to consistently do a thing.

Pi hole is definitely great but I’ll concede that getting that going probably qualifies as ‘going out of the way’. That said, it is worth every penny/second spent configuring.

1. Download Firefox (or other preferred gecko browser)
2. Install uBlock Origin add-on

Really going out of the way to avoid them.

Sounds like you just had a shit advisor tbh. My advisor had suggested taking a few different classes to achieve a second degree, as well as advocating for me for some special exceptions for something, and just always reaching out a few times each term with specific things to discuss on my progress and future plans.

I’m not convinced 7-8 of them aren’t just Fred Armisen in various outfits.

Worth noting, they could also be kind, loving people who provided for you all of your childhood. You still don’t owe them shit. They accepted a responsibility, not you.

Okay, I’ll bite. Tell me more about how they did it.

You just need to concentrate harder

The ai we got is the meme

The fact that the Mozilla Foundation is non-profit, despite wherever controversy there may be around their decisions of late, is a pretty significant factor.

Adorable how little that truck is

Not sure about the eyes but miss piggy is definitely a predator

Sadly not just science, either.

Not sure about charges but https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/Code-of-Conduct-for-Justices_November_13_2023.pdf it’s very clear that the justice has a personal bias that makes a reasonable person question their impartiality.

Client: “How much is this disaster recovery plan going to cost me?”

Me: “A hell of a lot less than when you don’t have (valid, tested) backups and need them”

I’d suggest the ‘giant douche/ turd sandwich’ rhetoric had a direct impact on the 2004 and 2016 elections - both of which were ‘lost’ by the Democrats, by razor thin (even a razor that folds over one way but ends up cutting the other way somehow, because fuck the will of the people) margin, and had profound effects on the society of their time. It also staunchly reenforced the apathy and both-sideism we see to this day.

Yeah. It’s called principles. Maybe when your corporate overlords have some for sale you’ll be and to afford them.

This is really just the ship from Our Flag Means Death
