We don't have to send him to another country. Just put him on a raft in the middle of the ocean.

There's also a few other spots not claimed by any country, like Bir Tawil between Egypt and Sudan.

The government will get the FAA involved at that point.

Definitely this. There are utilities here with 5% service charges for paying online. I'd rather pay by check

If you're having concentration problems made worse by the noise, and this has not historically been an issue for you, talk to your doctor. It may be depression or something similar.

I'm curious when and where "singular they" was taught as incorrect. Coming from the Midwest in the 80s (not exactly a liberal or forward thinking place), I was taught in no uncertain terms that singular they was appropriate in many circumstances. And my teacher was old as hell, so her education on the matter probably dated to around WW2.

Have you never been approached by a weird dude at a gas station who is selling "fresh" meat out of a cooler in the trunk of his car?

It's slowly coming back to me... There was a floppy disk that you needed to launch the raid config? Also the platform ran pretty well with debian 4.0 if you're debating what to run on it.

For a non-pizza comment: I've been out of the hardware game for awhile, but the last time I had to set one of these up for RAID, the paper manual (which can probably be found digitally) was helpful. I also vaguely recall RAID 5 either having issues or being unavailable.

The gate crew often gets graded on how quickly they complete boarding, so don't be surprised when your plane's "full" overhead compartments are half empty. Stupid job metrics strike again.
