    No comment on the level of PFAS aside from

    though the levels were low

    This is just feeding the outrage machine to get clicks. If it was a story they'd be citing concentration guidelines and telling you what concentrations were found in the products. It's not a story, it's rage bait.

    And here is the expected non-sequitar. Your country is a joke and you just try to deflect.

    Go make a difference, stop rubbing yourself against Lemmy posts to get off.

    Do you or do you not support people who resolve disagreements by assassinating people? Or is it just the people who you deem worthy of death that should be assassinated?

    Maybe we could democratise this, maybe vote on who should be assassinated to keep it fair, so it's not just one guy on Lemmy deciding?

    Maybe we don't need to assassinate people at all.

    Downvote as your country is dismantled by people who think their own political positions are more important than the will of the people, and who will break whatever laws they want to advance them. Cheer the people who do it. Cling to your failed state.

    America today is the direct descendant of the America which cheered the attempted assassination of a president whose policies they disagreed with. And all of you here who cheer the resolution of political differences with violence are cheering living in a failed state.

    Do you support James Earl Ray's choice to resolve his political differences with violence?

    Your country has become a joke, and you're all supporting that.

    If you don't have much chess experience, you'll likely lose your first 3 or 4 matches, and drop to a three digit rating, then you'll be matched with people who are pretty even with you. Have fun, don't take anything too seriously :)

    OK, so this is one of those comments that's either "wtf, of course everyone knows that" or "oh shit, ok", but generally wake on USB is a bios setting. Have you looked around in the bios to see what your options are?

    Doesn't explain the weird behaviour, but may be a good way forward.

    He is being tried for his crimes. That you want him treated arbitrarily worse in the meantime just seems capricious. The decision to keep someone in custody while they wait for trial is made on a well established set of principles, not based on your need to see him humiliated for your entertainment.

    The DoJ following procedure is a sign that they are taking this seriously and not just pandering to people crying out for blood and entertainment.

    How is it that Americans always turn posts into showcases of how small minded they are on both sides of the aisle? Even if they're about an interesting event half a world away, two Americans just rip off their shirts and start pinching each other's nipples as hard as they can, trying to look manly as they do it.

    Big brains will down vote and say "That's not what I do. I look really manly while grabbing nipples"

    I suspect you can't replicate scenario 4 because it was never a thing (Pretty natural to skip over something by accident). A trailing newline was my first thought, but scenario 4 ruled it out. If you can't replicate it then it's the likely answer.

    Something like this would confirm

    echo "$mypass" | md5sum

    Vs

    echo -e "$mypass\n" | md5sum

    I suspect opening up the two files in a hex editor will show the difference, assuming I can replicate your results.

    Perhaps do it with the string "test" and post results so we can replicate.

    Could it be a character encoding issue? Are you using utf-8 on both machines?

    The spice is the source of the prescience, I don't think you can draw a line between them (the Tleilaxu could, but even then I think they used what they called synthetic spice, I don't really recall that very well though).

    Aside for that point, yep, I agree with pretty much everything you said!

    Unless I'm missing something?

    Not as a quote, but as a line in the context of the book, "They tried to kill my son" repeated over and over was a great illustration of a rational, quite staid man fighting a building rage and becoming something different.

    It also served to humanise the Duke right before the tooth scene, building an empathetic connection to make us care about that scene more.

    A deceptively simple line used incredibly well.

    For pure quotage "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion".

    I don't really agree that the spice wasn't put forward as a way to salvation. I think it clearly was key to finding the golden path.

    The spice enabled the Bene Gesserit to see what was needed in their breeding program, and they were trying to breed Kwisatz Haderach who would lead humanity through a dangerous time, avoiding the destruction of the race. (Also the scene in the sietch that I won't go into detail about, becuase spoilers)

    Leto II uses the spice to see the golden path and forge humanity into what it needs to be to survive. (Also the other thing which I haven't mentioned due to major spoilers of a cool moment).

    The spice is pretty clearly necessary for the path taken to salvation.

    While the spice may not have been necessary to avoid the destruction of the human race had another path been found, in the story as it was told it was absolutely central.

    In Dune, the imperialist "nonsense" was the path to salvation. Genocide by machines was what we were saved from.

    Richard Feynman had a really good bit about how bad human intuition is about quantum physics. About how we evolved to throw a rock at an animal out on a grass plane, and not to make good guesses about the nature of particles so small we can't even fathom them.

    Seems appropriate here.
