191·3 days agoJust guessing, but it might be a gaffe because it could be skewed to sound like he doesn’t believe in democracy. Of course, this makes no sense because Trump has quite literally said that we might not need another election in four years.
A more careful statement might have been, “the electoral college needs to be replaced with a system where every citizen’s vote has the same magnitude.” If that’s not the mathematical ideal of democracy, I don’t know what is.
Edit: For you pedantic mathematicians, I’ll add that everyone’s vote should have the same magnitude, and that magnitude should be greater than zero.

4·5 days agoWe thought things were bad before the experimental DoD teleporter accident that destroyed the bodies of Trump and Musk. Elonald Trusk and Donlon Mump rose from the ashes. Their greed multiplied. Their lust for power became insatiable, but nothing could trump their carnal, sensual desire for each other’s bodies. [Ok, stopping here, I don’t like where this is going.]
It is pronounced like “curl” though!
We pronounce curl with an initial k sound. It rhymes with words like girl and earl. This is a short WAV file to help you:

Two things can be true. Remember the white supremacists he called “very fine people”? The “shithole countries”? Kamala Harris “turned black”? Remember when he claimed Haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs?

Me: [unintelligible]
Announcer: Speak into the mic [you buffoon]
Me: AH! MIKE!
Me: MICHAEL JORDAN… MIKE TYSON… MICHAEL PHELPS?
Announcer: And that’s time! You were supposed to be naming baseball players, remember? Technically, you got two out of three, so I’m required to give you this ticket for a free hotdog.
I can’t list ten of anything if you put me on the spot.
The Orville was actually pretty good. This may be heresy, but it felt more like Star Trek to me than some of the nu-Trek shows coming out. And for the record I can’t stand Family Guy.

I honestly think autocorrecting your scripts would do more harm than good. ShellCheck tells you about potential issues, but It’s up to you to determine the correct behavior.
For example, how could it know whether
cat $fooshould becat "$foo", or whether the script actually relies on word splitting? It’s possible that$foointentionally contains multiple paths.Maybe there are autofixable errors I’m not thinking of.
FYI, it’s possible to gradually adopt ShellCheck by setting
--severity=errorand working your way down to warnings and so on. Alternatively, you can add one-off#shellcheck ignore SC1234comments before offending lines to silence warnings.
