It’s short for “expatriate.” I’m not saying it isn’t used in the way you described, but that’s not the original meaning.

You might have misunderstood what I meant by “clean up before the PR.” None of the temp commits should end up in the main branch, where people would be bisecting.

Line the other commenter said, there’s nothing wrong with committing temp/untested code to a feature branch as long as you clean it up before the PR.

Meadows is just one of many former employees to have sued Ye over the last few years. Many of them worked for the short-lived Donda Academy, including three former teachers suing Ye and the school for discrimination, saying they were fired for raising concerns about “sanitation, health, safety [and] education standards.” Their complaint gave a behind-the-curtain look at the $15,000-a-year private school: students ate sushi for lunch every day; tables, chairs, crossword puzzles and coloring books were all strictly forbidden; students and teachers had to wear all-black Balenciaga uniforms designed by Ye; and the second floor of the school was off limits because, according to the plaintiffs, Ye “was reportedly afraid of stairs.”

OP: asks for advice about IRC

just_another_person: only stupid and lazy people use IRC

…

just_another_person: why doesn’t anyone appreciate how helpful I am?

Wasn’t it founded by the original founder of Twitter, not ex-employees? Not that it makes much difference…

Quoting my previous comment:

Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine?

In other words, why “fix” it (and risk fragmenting the community) if it ain’t broke?

If you still don’t understand why people use IRC then we clearly didn’t make the same point, and you misunderstood mine.

People still use it for the same reason we use email… Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine? Anyone who wants to use matrix can set up a bridge, anyway. And I wouldn’t consider discord a good alternative.

I don’t know what military life is like, but that hasn’t been my experience as a civie. Most men I know wouldn’t go to the doctor for something mild enough that it could be treated with ibuprofen.

Isn’t 800mg Rx-only? If they’re doing it under their doctor’s supervision, then that’s their business.

False - you can get a DUI on a horse (in some states).

They were saying it out loud years before that.

it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning

Most white women who voted, voted for Trump. Most married women who voted, voted for Trump. Who’s declaring war on who?

When you point a finger, three are pointing back at you.

Can’t recommend this enough. I found a lightly used steelcase leap v1 on Craigslist for $120 (one owner). It was the same price as what I paid for a new EZBoy office chair from Costco, but the EZBoy started falling apart after less than a year. This Steelcase is over 15 years old and it looks and feels better than the other chair did when it was new. My back pain also went away when I got it, but I got a new mattress around the same time so it was probably a combination of the two… I do sit at my desk for 10+ hours a day, though.

There are other similar chairs (eg. Herman Miller Aeron), and while I hate to recommend reddit, I haven’t found a better source for info on second hand high-end office chairs. If you’re considering a new office chair and suffer from back pain (sorry OP, I know you aren’t looking for a new chair), consider a higher-end used chair.

No, your tone came across, I just started worrying about my own tone. And I think we all need to chill out. Stop looking at what’s happened in the past 10-20 years and start appreciating the progress we’ve made in the last 100, and thinking about how we’ll make the next step.

Sorry, not trying to antagonize you. This sucks. Thanks for not lashing out at me.

I think the distinction is important to some people.

45% of women voters were for Trump. More young women voted for Trump in 2024 than in 2020. I don’t think this movement is going to affect Republicans at all.

You sound like you’ve been hurt. If so, I’m sorry. But don’t let them fool you, the real war is the class war. Not this stupid gender war. If you think it’s easy to be a middle or lower class man in this society you’re terribly mistaken.
