Yes, humans eat animals. "Top of the food chain" means something. It means lunch. Delicious lunch.
Oh man, now I want a chicken sandwich with bacon on it.
maybe with a little bit of parmesan cheese in it also, yummmm

As a longtime Fedora user, I agree that upgrading every six months is more painful than it needs to be. It's generally a LOT of packages — in the thousands — and takes a VERY long time.
The option to upgrade once a year makes this more palatable, to be sure.
I haven't tried Silverblue yet, but that might make the upgrades faster and less painful.
I've been using silverblue as my daily driver for the past few months, installing rpm's into the 'toolbox' is the recommended way, I have a few rpms related to power management that I layer onto the ostree, but other than that everything runs in a container. It's a wonderful OS.
works here, firefox mac, version 74.
In some ways it kind of makes it worse that we knew a bit about who he was come election time.
Truth be told, Scomo was barely a figure anyone would have recognized until he was suddenly PM. He was there in the shadows but few would have picked him to be our next PM.
The re-election however I get the feeling that was a bit down to people starting to feel the pressure from a slowing economy. With that many were voting to ensure a system they knew even if not ideal. Better the devil you know than to try their hand on an nearly unknown candidate.
I don't really know, there is so much noise in the political space nowadays that it is difficult to get much signal out of it.
he won because people were afraid of what Shorten and his cronies were saying they would do, in my mind it's a bit of a 'stuck in between a rock and a hard place'

This was predictable both specifically and in general. Google does not support their products, period. They stop updating them meaningfully -- years before announcing that they're terminated -- and they refuse to have a human customer service team. G Suite is possibly the only exception.
exactly my thought when I read the headlines, "these people have obviously never dealt with Google before"

The US has won every war as much as was desired, and it will continue to do so. Every supposed "loss" occurs in DC politics, not as a result of inability on the battlefield.
sure, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea (not to mention the countless 'anti-terrorism' strikes throughout Africa), all shining examples of 'winning'. Much like Charlie Sheen.....
I feel sorry for the poor fools who blindly follow the drumbeat of war and think they are doing a patriotic duty to their nation / meat grinder, which chews them up and spits them out once they are done with them.
But hey, Raytheon stocks are up!

Things are about to get real.
If launched from Iranian territory there is a pretty clear case for the US to go to war.
I know the “WW3” meme is popular right now but Iran is only a regional power and would likely lose a conventional war quickly against the US (matter of days or weeks).
Maybe US should just leave the region where it isn't welcome. Also, if this were to turn into a conventional war, I predict the US would suffer massive losses, unless they resort to using tactical nukes. The US hasn't been on the winning side of a war since WW2.

I don't support the repressive Iranian regime, however, there's no denying the US has been a terrible bully. I feel really bad for their people.
The US overthrew their popular, secular government in the 50s and installed a brutal puppet government. The Iranian revolution in the 70s was Islamic mainly because the Mosques were the few places the puppet government did not fully monitor, so the religious rulers were the only ones who could gather and strategize a plan.
The US has been trying to make an example out of Iran since the 70s, for the crime of not accepting the puppet government.
The level of propaganda going on in the US is unbelievable. The vast majority of Americans have no idea about the sequence of events that I laid out. I don't blame you for feeling this way, it's a very unfair situation for the Iranian people.
I completely agree, I don't really support the regime, but I support them more than the US shenanigans in the region. I believe that once the US stops making an example of out Iran, change will happen organically within the nation.
