Thanks for disagreeing with me without hostility or personal remarks. Appreciate you!

… and over the top hostile for absolutely no reason. Have fun playing out murder fantasies and growing old in your parents basement.

What do you mean by “get rid of”?

USian perspective:

Things are currently going in the opposite direction where safety nets are being removed.

In 2027, a huge chunk of low income people will lose Medicaid. It will be hard to see who can stay on it, because in most states with a higher minimum wage, working 80 hours would put them very close to or over the income limit. And people not working also lose it. There are problems people have that aren’t considered “real” disabilities, yet prevent having jobs. Obamacare does provide a low income discount, but there are still multi-thousand dollar deductibles. My prediction is that this is going to put a massive strain on hospitals because people simply won’t be able to pay. We’ll probably start to see some smaller ones go under (already are, actually, but it’s going to get worse, IMO).

I think the Medicaid purge is relevant because working people got jealous that unemployed and poor people had better insurance than they did in some ways, and stripping that made them feel better about their own situation. That goes completely against the spirit of UBI, which is paid to both rich and poor and people in any situation.

UBI would likely result in price hikes where the UBI money wouldn’t provide a real leg up as everything just became more expensive. We just saw that happen with the COVID stimulus checks. Or for another example, McDonald’s using the app provides a “discount”, but not even close compared to the prices they used to have pre-COVID.

It’s doubtful that I’d recognize a copy of my butt cheeks on sight. Kinda take after President Skroob on that one.

Yep!

Oh, you mean like this? haha! https://youtube.com/watch?v=FklUAoZ6KxY

Although, surprisingly, he did mention those as exceptions.

I think it probably depends on the city and maybe even the intersection. Here, when they’re working (not a given) you get a walk signal (whereas if you don’t push the button it stays a solid do not cross hand). Additionally, the length of the green light is potentially extended to allow enough time for pedestrians to cross.

There’s even one intersection here on a road with designated and flimsy bollard separated bike route where I can be approaching on my bike in the bike lane and it notices me and turns the light green for me which is super cool.

Apologies

EA hasn’t written its games even going back to the MS-DOS era. It’s just a publisher.

It’s not about looking it up or not, it’s a challenge to the boasting of the commenter above me in the context of the OP’s post.

That already works today.

Watching Les Stroud suffer on Survivorman was more entertaining anyhow.

Very close! -R, either, -R, -r, -r, -r. I typically think “-R except for ssh-related”, but zip violates that and I’m sure there are plenty of other counterexamples too. On the topic of ssh, I still can’t keep -p or -P straight (ssh vs scp).

With ls you can list the contents of directories recursively. Or you can list the contents in reverse order. One of them requires a lowercase “r”, one requires uppercase, but which is which? It’s not such a big deal that different commands have inconsistent syntax, but even having run Linux as my primary OS since 2004, and before that Unix since 1993, I still have to look these up sometimes.
