But we don't buy American made "beer". That swill is closer to water than my canoe.

I'm not defining terms; I'm repeating how the terms are defined. You can look it up in any dictionary. After that, if you still feel like arguing about it I'm not your opponent. You can contact Mrs. Mirriam-Webster, or Mr. Oxford, etc. Please post the exchange! Maybe the argument, "That's not how it works," will convince them.

generation (noun): "the living things which share a common ancestry and are alive at (or about) the same time."

The word does not refer solely to humans. It existed before the habit of neatly labeling people born within an arbitrary range of years. For example, medical researchers will record changes in microbes from generation to generation (without making up names for each generation).

So, if our generation (the people alive today, or any time in the next ~9 months) agreed to not have children then humanity's climate crisis would be solved. In fact, every human problem would be solved. Think about it.

100% of scientists agree that not-having-kids will solve our climate change crisis in one generation.

Won't happen. If Trump attempts this type of malpractice he will pay the price politically and legally. We are well protected from these mafia-like politicians who enrich themselves at our expen... Oh wait. nvm. Wrong timeline.

We would completely solve the climate crisis in one generation if we all stopped having kids.

Not to be "that guy" who doesn't trust everything he reads on the internet, but... what credible sources are saying that "most of the internet troll groups are ... pushing right wing narratives? I wonder how they would track such a thing.

Yes. I have it set up this way. I forgot it wasn't the default. For the amount of headache it would solve, I wonder if the Arch team has a specific reason for not keeping a number of previous kernels by default.

I haven't used Windows since Win7 - Is it possible nowadays to immediately cancel a kernel-level upgrade (say, Win7 to Win8) and have it gracefully stop and then boot into the pre-upgrade environment? If so, then Windows has come a long way. We use to be careful breathing-too-loudly around Windows computers during the upgrade process. Microsoft must be getting better.

Out of curiosity: Which operating system(s) can you shutdown while the kernel is being overwritten? I wouldn't imagine that as a limitation of Arch Linux specifically.

This war again? You'd think they'd learned their lesson, but they keep burning the books that could teach them.

Unpopular Opinion:

I think Tucker Carlson is a piece-of shit and a coward. That said, there is no contadiction in someone hating the bravest person they know.
