You can skip 3 of these adapters if you upgrade to the latest libraries, downgrade your microcode, turn off WiFi, and bench press a goat. It turns out it was the goat involved I'm the process, rather than the sacrifice, that made that stuff work.

"Graphical UI" it is

Systemd is trying to stop a service. To do an action to a service (or any unit), it runs a job. The job to stop a service is called a stop job. Once the stop job is taken off the job queue, the stop job is running.

The method of stopping a service is configurable, but the default is to send a kill signal to the MainPID, then wait for the process to exit. If it doesn't, after a timeout, the kill is reattempted with a harsher signal.

In the area I live, this would mean you could be standing right next to the pizza cooking bore, and still be outside of the delivery range.

That must be a giant upgrade, on account of the many ways a Boeing could be coming down.

Brain one way, but other brain other way. Chemical stuff is making brain stuff happen. Makes see different.

If you're in the US, run for Congress, win, reform the medicaid backed doctor residency program, with the aim of opening it up so many more people can become doctors. Then watch as the new supply brings down salaries, and eventually gets lazy/ineffective doctors fired. Revenge is a dish best served nation wide, as they say.

It could be a case where 1 7-Eleven car crash per day is the median, but not the majority, with 0 and 2 or more combined being more than 50%, so they mean (but communicate poorly) that most days have 1 or more cars crash into 1 or more 7-Elevens, but they couldn't say that most days have 1 car crash into a 7-Eleven. The only additional information that that would give above simply reporting the 1.14 average is that it's not highly concentrated on a few days, like if 300 of the annual car crashes into 7-Elevens all happened on 7/11 when people jostle over free slurpees.

In short, "average" has too many meanings for its average use.

I'm mentally well, I just like thinking about hypotheticals. I have no plans (nor any desire) to fight any number of squirrels to the death, and I do not condone doing so as entertainment or sport.

There are details missing in this question that matter tremendously. Squirrels are faster and more agile than us. If they are well coordinated, and behave optimally to win (without concern to their individual survival, only the group's success), I think it would take only a small number of squirrels to brutally murder most people, something like 5. I think their best strategy would be to go for the eyes first, then inflict bleeding injuries and escape again before the person can react. Without tools, and without backup, this approach wouldn't take long to wear down most people.

If the squirrels don't care about their own survival, but make straightforward attacks, I'd think closer to 10-20. The person's injuries will still compound quickly, but once thet have a grip of a squirrel, it wouldn't be especially hard to lethally injure.

If the squirrels still behave like squirrels, and are instead attacking because (for example), they are starving, then the number probably doesn't matter much, as they're more likely to go after each other, and the person would have the opportunity to plan and ambush small groups at a time.

Not a song per se, but I was listening to "Relaxing - Bach in my ass".

Taking some actions and not taking other actions exclusively because of whether other people will perceive them as manly is extremely non-manly. If you have to live someone else's life because you worry that others will look down on you in some slight way for living your own...

That tells you everything.

 

Somewhere in the universe, there's another intelligent lifeform, with development at a stage roughly equal to our own. They make and share video recordings edited to be emotional, informative, inspirational, or entertaining, and you know and recognize all of it (translated to your native language, of course).

You just don't know where they are, what they look like, the overall story lines, and possibly a way to convince anyone else that this is a real thing.
