I recently visited a phlebotomist who, I noticed halfway through, didn’t use much in the way of protective gear. Afterwards I lamented this fact to a nurse friend of mine, who responded with basically the same statement but replacing “plant” with “patient.”

I’m not sure I’m convinced. Medically, that is. I believe you about the plants.

Your username could be interpreted as analogous to their digestive system.

That’s why I said older.

But yeah … Sad truths.

And hoodie!

I don’t know that I agree with the take represented in your linked article. If I’m reading it correctly, the primary reason not to switch shells is that those shells might not exist universally. That is a valid concern, but running which fish (as referenced in my original comment) should help to mitigate that risk factor. Scripts should always use a hashbang to specify their desired environment so, unless you’re overriding that, it shouldn’t be a concern.

I agree that you shouldn’t use shells that are not available to you. I don’t think that means you shouldn’t try to change shells if you are unsatisfied with your current one.

Surely you’ve heard of Vimes’ “Boot Theory”?

Seems like you’d be a fan of Macklemore.

What is a “grunt style shirt”?

I use both and have been happy with both, but note that Element / Matrix have recently announced the intent to add paid service tiers.

I said in another thread about this, he looks like an older Tom Scott.

Interesting, I hadn’t heard that take. I’ll give it a read. Thanks!

You can change your default shell in a few ways. I’ve never used fish, but vipw should open your passwd file, in which you can change /bin/bash to the appropriate path for fish (which you can find via which fish). It’s probably best to only change this for your user.

A possibly simpler option (and one that I don’t believe requires root access) is the chsh command. I’ve never used it myself, so I’ll let this site provide instructions for it: https://www.howtogeek.com/669835/how-to-change-your-default-shell-on-linux-with-chsh/

That indeed is a functional method, but I’m not sure I’d call it more accessible. Unless you mean that more people probably own a pot than an appropriate microwave safe container, in which case, fair enough.

(but that’s not a criticism, I enjoyed your comment)

A while ago there was a reddit post about how you don’t need bagged popcorn to pop popcorn. You don’t even need any of them there fancy air poppers. All you need is a glass container and the popcorn itself. And it’s true!

The only part that presented any trouble was finding a safe container with a safe lid - during the process of popping, an individual kernel is super warm, so if it hits a lid that can’t tolerate that it can melt pits into the lid.

Other than that (and making sure you don’t add too much popcorn, that stuff expands like crazy), just dump the kernels into your container, cover it up (don’t forget to vent as appropriate) and then microwave as you would the bagged stuff. Add your seasonings, shake up the container, and enjoy.

Where I grew up, there was a town that had been intentionally flooded to make a reservoir, or so my parents told me; they claimed that when the reservoir was low, you could see the top of the church steeple. At the time, I drove past the area nearly daily and would often survey the waters, but never found anything that was likely to be more than shadows or a trick of the eye. At the time, I had barely learned of climate change and so wasn’t worried about it; I just liked the idea of a structurally intact, intentionally flooded city.

I just looked it up to make sure I was remembering the details correctly. It turns out that either I misremembered or my parents exaggerated. The town apparently existed and was flooded, but at the time of flooding consisted of foundations and one very tall flagpole. Apparently it’s a common pastime of kayakers and the like to look for the top of the flagpole. This is probably what my parents were referring to.

Still pretty cool, though.

My pleasure, hope it helps. Good luck!

Otherwise, you might exercise too hard and end up like The Hulk.

Usually it stands for “the animated series.”
