Vocabulary question X + shell + powder = bullet, what is X?

Because usually the threat is that X will be delivered through use of powder the destination of the shell is ambiguous but not included in the delivery.

When you deliver while (unfired) bullets it’s generally not considered a threat.

The DJIA (e.g.) isn’t “the house”. It isn’t something you are competing with in that your losses are its/their gain. You are misunderstanding both investing (in general and the stock market specifically) and gambling when you make that confusion/analogy.

Not beating the market but having positive returns is only “losing” when infinite exponential growth is the goal. Beating the market but having negative returns is not “winning”.

Just because you are wrong about your expected value calculations (or were right but the actual return was on the lower end of the range) and have made a bad investment doesn’t change the fact that it was an investment because you were doing it for the returns.

In short, performance doesn’t matter for this distinction, at least IMO.

The other suggestions are probably better, but you can technically self-host Wire (from Wire Gmbh) but I’ve never done it successfully.

Cube theory clearly established that hot dogs are tacos. It’s all based on the location of structural starches.

IMO: When you do it for the entertainment/feeling/rush, it’s gambling. When you do it for the returns, it is investing. I also think the other poster that mentioned investing as being interested in the success of the endeavor, that would exclude shorting and I think might be a useful distinction.

Casino games and sports betting all have lower expected value (probabilistic value) than their cost, so they are not something you can do for returns (you have better expected returns by not participating).

There are plenty of people that are misinformed, dishonest, or stuck finding a bigger fool that will sell you a gamble by calling it an investment, and expected value is not guaranteed value.

My quinoa, beans, and almond milk diet scores well. My popcorn snacks don’t, but I’m not focusing on macros there, but rather volume/kcal.

Born 1980. I don’t have a traditional wallet, but I do carry a combination card holder (which has my ID) and money clip. I think some people are simplifying that to ID in pocket and all payment methods on phone (tap or app).

Generations are mostly BS anyway. Carry a wallet or not according to your needs and preferences.

Born in 1980, modded Minecraft is still a great game.

I know a few YTers by name (a few of the ones I subscribe to), but I tend to avoid “drama” and haven’t been interested in the most popular YT content since Gangdam Style.

New messages will show on all your devices, but yes, it is intentional that old messages are not available to new devices.

Late to the party. Idris had a bash backend (i.e. you could compile Idris to bash), and it’s already bit rotted with new Idris versions.

I hope the language is at least as cool as Idris.

I think of the Carlin bit… It’s the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe in it.

Same switch point for me, roughly, going from a Pixel 4 with jack to a Pixel 7 without.

There are situations where I prefer BT earbuds over wired buds, and I haven’t tried the adapters, yet, but I still long for a audio jack: it’s a lot quicker to switch my buds from work laptop to personal phone when they are wired.

I will look for a audio jack when buying my next phone… maybe someone will have figured a way to “hack” one into a Fairphone body?

Arkansas here; used Rolly-Polly as childhood name for isopods.

I remember /r/SandersForPresident echoing this refrain. “When Sanders takes office we are going to line up the opposition and give them exactly what they deserve… (beat) …free healthcare.”

Mine is close to that. I still had a working libc, but the dynamic library for C++ programs wouldn’t load, so most of the Gentoo tools and several other things I expected simply crashed on startup.

Found enough working programs to get the library restored and remove the bad arch flags from my configuration to start another emerge world.

After that, I was pretty confident that I could run Linux at least as confidently as I had previously run WinNT 4.

I usually only have to deal with this feeling a few days at a time. I hope it gets better for you.

I primarily operate in strict standard compliance mode where I write against the shell specifications in the lastest Single Unix Specification and do not use a she-bang line since including one results in unspecified, implementation-defined behavior. Generally people seem to find this weird and annoying.

Sometimes I embrace using bash as a scripting language, and use one of the env-based she-bangs. In that case, I go whole-hog on bashisns. While I use zsh as my interactive shell, even I’m not mad enough to try to use it for scripts that need to run in more than one context (like other personal accounts/machines, even).

In ALL cases, use shellcheck and at least understand the diagnostics reported, even if you opt not to fix them. (I generally modify the script until I get a clean shellcheck run, but that can be quite involved… lists of files are pretty hard to deal with safely, actually.)

I personally prefer medium-rare, but if you want a grey (“well” done) steak that is moist, sous-vide is the way to do it. Reverse sear is great for medium, maybe even medium-well, but you have to introduce a moisture barrier (like the sous-vide bag) to keep the moisture in the steak as you cross higher temperatures. The physics of a oven, grill, griddle, or microwave just don’t get you moisture and heat at the same time.

The physics might work for pressure cooking.

I doubt a pastry shell (“Wellington”) would be enough of a moisture barrier, but not sure.
