I saw a comic about this once (xkcd, probably?) and going by the scene in the movie, where Legolas has human sized eyes, they deduced that Middle Earth must have an exotic atmosphere

It's the Swiss Army CHAINSAW!

Not to mention, OP didn't specify where they live. Who knows defamation law for the whole world?

I think that's either for fresh fruit or if it's near a door it's for holding your keys

Edit: nevermind. It's definitely a weird sink

It's also about making sure you can't sue them, even if they did something wrong, even if they did it on purpose, even if they knew it was wrong when they did it.

Instead you must agree to "binding arbitration", so that if you lose they get to learn what strategy works against customers, and if you win they get to learn what strategy doesn't work against customers (but in any case the details cannot be shared with other customers).

Also, you can never participate in a class action suit, so even if they did do something wrong, on purpose, and you convinced a -judge- arbiter, you just get the $12 judgment, or whatever the value is of your actual damages. The corporation can keep the $12 they stole from each of their millions of other customers, who didn't also start arbitration.

It is shocking that it is even legal

YouTube does this on paid content. I bought It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia but it has ads for other FX shows (Mayans, Cake, Sons of Anarchy) baked in to the first 30 seconds and last 60 seconds of some episodes.

It also has a teaser that is the last item in each season's playlist, which is an ad for the season you just watched :/

The -p option can be used to specify the port number to connect to when using the ssh command on Linux. The -P (note: capital P) option can be used with SFTP and scp.

Why is it that the switch on ssh is -p but in scp/sftp it is -P?

This has caused me a real headache in the past as ssh doesn't throw an error message when you use a switch like "ssh -P 8080"

I have had some luck asking it follow-up questions to explain what each line does. LLMs are decent at that and might even discover bugs.

You could also copy the conversation and paste it to another instance. It is much easier to critique than to come up with something, and this holds true for AI as well, so the other instance can give feedback like "I would have suggested x" or "be careful with commands like y"

Those eyebrows are in point

And that, my friends, is why you don't tailgate

Confirming that all life on earth has a common ancestor would reduce the likelihood of panspermia, wouldn't it?

If life originated in space then it might happen more than once, so we might find that some life forms do not share a common ancestor at all.

If all life forms have a common ancestor then that implies abiogenesis is rare.

Of course, it could be that abiogenesis is hard but seeding life by asteroids is easy, so more research is needed.

Either answer is interesting

I find it really concerning how little we seem to care about potentially harmful chemicals in our food.

"However, if someone is drinking a soda a day, every day, they should be careful and check out the ingredients.”

When I was a young teen I used to drink well over a liter per day of Mountain Dew. That was when it still contained bromine. I drank that much for nearly 10 years.

As someone who thought they lived in a sane society, I assumed it was safe to consume products that were labeled and sold for human consumption
