Lots and lots of meanings.

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs still exists? Neat!

There's an old saying about digging if you find yourself in a hole.

Nothing has beat mutt so far. But that's not for everyone, naturally.

Yes. Ugly, but distinctive and likely unique. Maybe even descriptive. No idea about that.

Never heard of either, but "make" is about the worst possible name you could give any kind of product.

"If you cared about anyone's privacy, you wouldn't tell them to click anything."

Yes. Every form really should have a "prefer not to say" option.

A trapdoor travel type DE handle and case that I found on a flea market. Just one twist to free the blade so it's easy to rinse and flip each time.

Bought a mixed assortment of blades from somewhere years ago and still haven't run out. Some are very short lasting and some longer, but either way I should be set for years.

Kids used to make their own sprites and scrolling routines and poke inventory values.

Well, bigger kids.

Multispam is one of the things that is genuinely a threat to Lemmy's usability. If you follow certain topics, you start seeing 2-5 copies of every post. It's a genuine spam problem and "just block" or "just scroll" is as much of a non solution as it is with other spam.

Most don't.

Writing is a really good tool for slowing down. Handwriting even more so.

Instantly reminded

It's not. It's the "premium" products that have this proprietary bs and branded parts trying to justify the inflated prices. The cheapest printers are all just generic clones with no lock in and mostly generic parts. Practically DIY kits only without the DIY unless something fails.

And it’s making Republicans nervous.

Doubt.

It's not a file name. It's shell syntax. Specifically, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_control_(Unix)

That's a pretty terrible article on the subject, but I don't have a better one at hand. You could read some shell scripting tutorial or manual or maybe a beginners guide to Unix. A decent one should explain job control well.

But basically, in a script or command line, an ampersand ends a command and runs it in the background without waiting for it to finish before running the next command. A semicolon works the same but waits on the foreground.

Unless that country happens to be one that just ignores contracts they don't like.

I think I've used one Electrolux somethingsilenceorsomething and it really was startlingly quiet and pretty good for normal use. No idea how durable it is, but it sticks in my mind as the only genuinely quiet vacuum I've ever used.
