Exactly what I was thinking of when I made that comment. Highway maintenance is paid for, at least in part, through tolls.

It used to not use Chromium at all.

Age of consent nationally was 13, but most prefectures had raised the age to at least 18 many, many years earlier. Specifically, most of the local prefecture laws outlawed sexual acts that were judged to be indecent between adolescents (those under 18) and adults. 46 of the 47 prefectures had adopted local laws to outlaw this behavior by the end of the 1980s. The last one (Nagano Prefecture) adopted laws to outlaw this behavior in 2016.

For reference, this array of local laws is referred to as Seishōnen Hogo Ikusei Jōrei, which can be translated to "Bylaws for Protecting and Nurturing Adolescents".

I knew it wasn't on the plate anymore.

I just didn't know it was GNAWING THE KID'S ARM OFF.

My lack of knowledge about whatever an emacs plugin is proves #4 wrong.

Apparently, the trophy actually comes in two parts. It's supposed to come apart. Vance didn't know that, picked it up the wrong way, and it came apart and (when it hit the ground) broke.

I just use Boost for Lemmy. It doesn't have that problem.

I have. I was making a reference, which is why I linked that video.

Huh. Never realized that. I've only ever heard Linux users call it CLI, so I just assumed it was what most Linux users called the Terminal. And I assumed Terminal was the generic name since Mac also has a Terminal app.

Also, side note: it's called Terminal on Windows now, too. Windows unified their Powershell and Command Prompt programs into a single app (on the surface, at least). You can open either Powershell or Command Prompt using tabs in the app.

To be fair, Windows really hasn't pushed Powershell all that much. They haven't even fully ported over all of Command Prompt's commands. You have to prefix those with .\ (I think; it's been a while) in order to get them to run even though the error message that comes up if you don't include that will tell you, "Hey, there's a command named this. Prefix it with that to use it."

Now, instead of simply porting everything over, they have one app (named Terminal) running both programs.

I think it's the Linux equivalent of Windows Command Prompt.
