You must have limited retrospective abilities, because sure as hell, the ideas from your childhood guided your life.

Big nah.

The soviets, however, definitely did. 2-3 times or so.

I tried to believe this was satire, and it downvoted wrongly, but checking @ms.lane comments made me sure it’s not. Boo.

How could step one be anything besides the store taking a 2€ minus on their spreadsheet, instead of stopping flights. So many ways to hide a ceramic knife instead of a stupid pair of scissors uselessly incapable of doing anything on a plane.

All of these “security theatre” measures are just pure incompetence institutionalized due to 911, that managed to do nothing, just some security equipment manufacturers rich, and plane clients quite annoyed.

Hell, derailing a train would cause more human life / infrastructure damage, than a potential “guy has sharp object and cant do shit to the plane piloting” shit boomers are somehow still, in their old age, surprisingly afraid of.

Cars, trains, trucks all move freely, but somehow planes are terrified of extremely remote chance of bad actors trying to make a 911-esque political statement? (Because it’s about the fanfare not actual damage, mooost buildings are much less secure than people would think)

Yes

That, and they can potentially dismantle staging areas for planes and other infrastructure (in this case gas pipeline).

Not sure why comments are so polarized.

This is what happens with a population well aware that they are being sent to the meat grinder a la Im Westen nichts Neues.

I guess everyone can agree they don’t want to die pointlessly.

War exhaustion is high, and now it’s a war of attrition.

Stable yes, but no protection from bitrot, and the journal of ext4 is the band aid, instead of a cow fs like zfs or btrfs.

btrfs with its send/receive (incremental fs-level backups) is already stable enough for mostly everything (just has some issues with raid 5/6), and is much more performant than zfs. And it is also in the linux kernel tree (quite hugely useful). Of course, if more zfs-like functionality is what you look for.

Ah, that is quite interesting… I didnt know about this. However, you should note that it was a recurring idea by many countries (whether Madagascar, or some other region), due to the Jewish diaspora which was culturally incongruent.

The nazis were instead fanatical, and aside from directly targeting jews with extreme hate, attacks, the “final solution” was drawn up and relentlessly pursued throughout the war. I havent read up whether its idea origins are somewhere in 1935-1939, but I would assume so.

I swear, definitions of words are just seemingly lost in this age.

Not really…

Not a doctor. But while probably true that some poisons could cause very visible damage to some specific organs (liver, kidneys), but if you know what you are looking for, you could most likely find it in fat tissue, hair, nails.

I feel making extra cash on the side for mister important army officer “because is hard life to live” is most likely.
