cp is short for create packup

An(n)ons favourite song: https://youtu.be/xvT2h0DRfX0

ulimit -H -u 10 will (hard)limit the current process (the shell) to 10 subprocesses. You can also use it to limit the number of open files etc.

To globally configure that for a user/group you’d use /etc/security/limits.conf instead.

If you want to prevent users from filling up the disk, take a look into quota.

I’d scold the sysadmin instead for not cofiguring critical systems in a secure way. Ulimit exists for a reason.

It’s a big difference whether a folder is named PetersHits or PeterShits. So what should I expect when opening a folder called petershits? Pictures of Peter on the potty or some great songs?

You mean right vs. wrong?

Don’t wanna argue with the premises here. But isn’t Christianity also a bit stupid for praying towards the instrument that’s been used to torture and kill their leader.

Just imagine you are Jesus and come into a modern church. You’d run away screaming with all those crosses triggering your PTSD. And that’s before you’ve even heard of all the atrocities they’re doing there in your name.

I don’t just rethink my programming decision but all my life decisions every night. Seem like Rust is the perfect language for me.

That. And the fact that doctor jokes have a well known scheme that’s broken here, as you’d normally expect the joke to continue after the sentence.

A woman comes to the doctor and asks “Can I take a bath with my diarrhea?” The doctor answers: “Sure, if it’s enough to fill the tub.”

A neutron walks into a bar and asks: “How much for a beer?” The barman says: “For you, no charge”.

It’s a bit like the shortest joke: A woman comes at the doctor…

Or in German: Kommt 'ne Frau beim Arzt…

This one works well in German and English, but I assume it’s untranslatable in many other languages.

There are a lot of foods that taste better and better with every time you reheat them. Especially a lot of stews: Grünkohl, Bigos, Lasagna, Chilli con Carne, Pörkölt, all kinds of Curry etc.

Problem with reheating McDonald’s is, that it’s shit food to begin with. To get a decent menu out of McD leftovers you put them in the oven for 7 minutes, but make sure to replace them with a pizza 6 minutes before they’re done.

Is woman short for womb-man?

I was in Faliraki a few years ago and it was really nice. I was there in late October though, so there were only like 20 other tourists in town and all the penny arcades and tourist shops were already closed.

I’ll never understand why people fly to the south in the middle of the summer, when the weather is nice here anyway.

always wash chicken, in a separate room

Oh dang, I’ll have to move to a bigger house. My current home is lacking a chicken washing room.

I mean, obviously people would be confused if you called February “spring” in Australia, but then again you celebrate Christmas in summer 😁

What do you mean when you say that the US uses this model and Australia uses that model? Who uses it and for what? In my country the government doesn’t tell us what season it is or what system to use. People just use whatever system they fancy and most likely it’s just based on gut feeling instead of a calendar day.

No one will look at you sceptically when you say “This is a cold winter” on a freezing November day, nor will the be confused if you say “What a nice spring day” on a sunny February afternoon.

There are (at least) four different definitions of winter:

• Astronomical seasons are what you describe, and these are obviously based on astronomical events, for which the equinoxes and solstices are the perfect fix points. That the seasons start at these days is purely conventional, and in some times (roman empire) and places (Celtic calendar) people used these days as the center point of the season instead (also known as “Solar seasons”). Why those don’t match up with the actual temperature has already been explained in countless other replies.
• Meteorological seasons use a simple, month based approach, where winter is just December, January and February. That makes it easier for statistical usage but obviously is also just a man-made convention.
• The energy sector defines winter as the time of extended energy needs due to heating. Where I live, that’s defined as 1. of October - 31. of March, but for obvious reasons that’s highly dependent on where you are.
• Phenological seasons are a bit more what you’re looking for: They are based on biological events in indicator plants and a lot more complex than just being four fixed periods and only ever the same for small regions. Where I live, there are ten phenological seasons, winter starts when the English Oaks drop their leafs and ends with the blooming of the Common Hazle.

In other cultures there might be vastly different seasons. In many tropical countries you’ll only have the dry season and the monsun season.
