Favorite? No idea.

Least favorite? Alan Alda in Canadian Bacon. Dammit man, you were good in MASH, why can't you act in anything else?

You'll notice if you look that North America and South America are missing from the map. That's what the title means.

Also, there's no consensus on how many continents there are. Someone from the US would be very surprised to hear that North and South America are the same continent.

On a greentext community? Blasphemy!

I've never talked to an Arch user about Linux, so I dunno how toxic their community is. But I do read Arch documentation, and it's fantastic. Arch's documentation has (for me, anyway) taken the place that used to be held by the old HOWTOs back in the early days.

The kind of cooperation required to accomplish this doesn't speak of a toxic community to me. I didn't watch the video since I don't watch YouTube on my phone, but I'm guessing it's not the Arch community that has issues but annoying teenage "I'm more 1337 than you" jackwads that are the turd in the Linux punchbowl. Those little cretins are drawn to distros like Arch because they like feeling superior to the "normie" users.

I should know, I used to be like that thirty years ago. Most of us grow out of it after we start getting laid.

They wouldn't be able to build it. It wasn't until the 16th or 17th century that metallurgy and machining were advanced enough to build atmospheric steam engines, much less high pressure ones.

You need a lot of tech to jump start an industrial revolution.

So it did. That's interesting.

It was the fact that they used RPMs that made me think they were a Red Hat derivative. I didn't care for Red Hat (I ran Slackware back then, switching to Debian around Hamm) so I never gave them a chance. Pity.

It never caught on in the states.

IIRC it was originally based on Red Hat (back when Red Hat Linux was a thing), wasn't it?

Depends if the door was in the rear.

I paid for a car that I could drive halfway across the country in and be comfortable,not spend a fortune on fuel, and not worry too much about it stranding me on the side of the road. The smart screen just happened to come with it. So it seems to have worked out fine for me.

Are you naturally an asshole or are you making a special effort here?

The bisexual folks don't want any confusion over what the "B" means.

Or just don't connect your phone to it. That's what I do. I've never touched the "smart" screen in my car except to adjust the air conditioner.

Except the ones that aren't.
