Whatever shell says can automatically be dismissed as a lie.

Source: I used to work on a survey ship right outside the niger delta roughly 10 years ago. Suddenly on day we were in the middle of an oil spill patch, and the onlyones in the area were us and a bunch of shell drilling rigs. Situations like that happened quite often.

Disclaimer: I'm not a 3dprinter guy. I want to be, but I never found the time beyond a partially assembled prusa mendel i3.

....however, I have done an extensive amount of wiring, in various environments, a lot of it on moving parts, and what I can say is that wires of these gauges don't break like this just from movement along that cable chain (or whatever it's called), unless it's incredibly cold environment and/or incredibly cheap wiring.

I'm thinking that you're most likely correct in that it has been pinched.

Yes, it would be very weird for server addresses to have the service name as a subdomain. Like a common prefix of web servers to signify that it's serving world wide web.

On a more serious note, this used to be fairly common for many protocols to ensure loaf balancing between different protocols - you'd have one server for www, one for ftp, and so on.

Also, from an administrative point of view, it's more manageable when you can, for example, add an entire (sub)domain to the firewall rules.

Discouragement. It was a bad idea to climb down from the trees to begin with.

Correct. I don't qualify for global entry, but i do have a TWIC which allows me TSA Prescreened as a known traveler, at least.

A second reasonable case is when entering US feom abroad. Passport check at Ohare is slooooooow, so I always make an effort to get there before most others. I usually don't care about exiting plane early, but I do care about maximizing the time spent drinking beer in a lounge, compared to standing in line.

I often fly from Europe to Houston via Chicago, and how early I get out of the transatlantic flight can mean up to 90 minutes less queuing.

Depends on your OS, but symlinks can do that for you - file exists once, but multiple "files" link to it. The application (torrent client) doesn't care.
