  • Solving it in his state is certainly a good way of spearheading a national solution.

    As for you considering the statement racist: I was expecting a lot worse based on the headline. I don’t think grouping by race when looking at health statistics is inherently racist. Race can be relevant to health outcomes, among other reasons due to racism, and so one should be allowed to discuss that.

    Deciding to ignore the problem because it predominantly affects a certain race is racist, but that wasn’t what was stated in the quote earlier in this thread, despite the headline suggesting it was.






  • The cable thing is simply due to physical limitations. If you want a data cable with the fastest data rate it will be maximum 1m (or ~3ft for the metric challenged) and quite thick and stiff. A cable exclusively for charging can be quite long and thinner so it can be coiled smaller. Then there are various middle grounds with slower data rates, which sometimes are too slow for certain applications (e.g. Android Auto).

    If you buy a short, thick and expensive cable rated for thunderbolt 5 you can use it for everything, but you may not like the form factor.



  • I’m not the one you asked, but adding fluoride to tap water was a revolution in dental health, so yeah.

    Just like most things, concentration matters. A little fluoride is very good for you. A lot of fluoride is bad for you. They put a “very good for you” amount in the water, and if you don’t get it from the water you should take supplements.

    You may have seen conspiracy theories about fluoride addition which have existed since the 70s, but those have about as much credibility as chemtrails.






  • It looks like you’re relying on media automounting to access the drive, but this is happening too late for Docker.

    I would suggest creating the empty folder and explicitly adding the mount to /etc/fstab instead. This should mount early enough, and even if it doesn’t it needs an empty folder for the mount point anyway.

    Edit: Make sure you reference the partition by UUID, because the device name of USB devices sometimes change after a reboot.


  • I’m a straight white dude who goes to work to do work, not to find someone to party with. The common ground is having the same job.

    My current team has the following composition:

    • Two straight white guys in their 40s, one of whom is an immigrant
    • One gay white guy in his 30s
    • One straight Indian guy in his 50s
    • One straight Indian woman in her 20s
    • One straight black guy in his 20s

    We all get along just fine. Sometimes I learn something new about a different culture or lifestyle.

    Not all aspects of diversity are equally important. I’ve been in teams before where everyone else was Argentinian. I’ve had teams where everyone else was Indian. I’ve had teams where we were all straight white dudes. They were all fine.

    The most important part of diversity for me is a nice spread in experience level, which usually means a spread in age. I like training people who are more junior than me, but I also like someone more senior to learn from. Having someone more senior than me also prevents me from gliding into a role where I only train people or review their work, which I’m not personally interested in.
