Hell, the US military has a detailed strategic plan for responding to zombies.

Not that that sort of thing is unique to the US. cf. Crisis in Zefira, a sci-fi training scenario commissioned by National Defense Canada.

I mean, if I went 'round saying I was “Usher of the Black Rod” just because some geezer had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d lock me away!

It’s the first What If?, even:

It’s also featured on a two-part episode of LeVar Burton Reads.

Reminds me of an old joke:

I went to a zoo the other day that only had one exhibit…a dog. It was a shih tzu.

Without looking into it at all, I assume she represents Georgia’s 14th congressional district.

It’s funny, I frequently find myself configuring native Linux games I legitimately own to instead run the windows version through Proton.

I know KDE has an option to disable this behavior, though I forget what it’s called off the top of my head. Then it’s just a matter of grabbing the window with super+drag to put it wherever you want.

You’re thinking of trademarks. Copyright doesn’t work that way.

When public officials tamper with elections, it’s election fraud.

Depends on the distro. Some have a configuration setting to allow unfree software or not, others have separate repos.

What’s even going on in #19? I see lemon wedges, what looks like okra, maybe, and then…raw ground beef? Surely that can’t be right.

A similar argument is what finally caused the value of the vi family of editors to click in my brain:

They are designed to be fully functional over even the shittiest possible* remote connection. You can’t always count on ctrl, alt, or even the arrow keys being transmitted in a way that is understood by the remote machine.

*Well, I guess the worst possible terminal would be something like an actual teletype, and in that case you’d probably want to fall back to ed or its descendants. To save paper, if nothing else.

You say that as though he isn’t one of them.

apropos is also helpful if you want to do something but don’t know what the relevant tools are.
