Physics and Free Software
I don’t see it as a matter of being a bad person or not. When I use GPL, whomever uses my software may be “evil”. The difference is whether or not they grant the freedoms I granted them to view, modify, distribute, and distribute modifications to whomever uses their version of the software. It is a requirement to pay it forward. Evil or not.
Do you have additional inside knowledge?
I have set off smoke detectors with a power washer and with saw dust
Single uncle with 2 nieces is where it’s at 😉
Because I know how much my funeral would suck
Maybe the destination was more important than the journey
There are some gaps in the numbers. That could be the case. Was it for all of the ones you tried to download?
That’s a very good question. It was a few years ago, but it’s running right now on my computer on Linux.
A friend of mine and I put this together a few years ago. I hope yall find it helpful:

People like when other people care about them and one way to show that is to remember their name. Some people are too self important and think everyone should remember their name. We have a name for that. It’s Asshole.
Knowing people’s names isn’t about hearing it once and remembering. It’s about learning people’s names and forming relationships. Here are some ways I learn names
When you meet someone and they tell you their name repeat it to them. When you ask them a question, address them by name. Use their name more than you think you should.
…And when you inevitably forget their name, apologize and ask again. Before they even know you forgot. Sometimes (most of the time) they don’t remember your name either.
Better still. Apologize, tell them you forgot, and ask them if you can guess. You know what you think it was. Was it close to Jason? Do I look like a Jason to you? Well, actually… (better conversation than what preceded)
Use mnemonics. A girl in my class sat three from the end. Her name was Trinity. Zoe and kYm were next to each other in the back of the room. YZ. Use your penchant for location as a tool rather than excuse.
Deliberately read nametags. At the supermarket checkout. Security guards. Janitors. Doesn’t matter. Thank them by name. This is EXACTLY what their tags are for. Use them! This is good practice for when it “actually matters” or an easy way to be decent to other people.
I pissed a kid off in college the whole time I knew him by calling him the wrong name. I didn’t know what his name was, but I did know that wasn’t it.
Depends how long it takes to poop or fall asleep in a given day
Declare yourself a member of The Church of Emacs and claim your religious rights are being violated.
Where is the head and foot of the bed? Where are the top and the bottom? If the bed were stood up on the foot, is the top the front or the back? These questions may have something to do with the answer or are completely meaningless.
There’s a TED talk on that
Many people presume that if someone is speaking a different language, they are talking shit. I’ve regretably been one of them, but sometimes you aren’t wrong (RE Chinese people who speak Chinese and the "ABC"s who don’t)
