Yes, but the point is their dying is more of a distribution.

Zombie processes do not use resources, well, a little, it’s basically an entry describing how it exited.

The parent process is the thing keeping the zombie entry open. Killing it’s parent should work if they bother you.

To be fair to the media, there just isn’t enough time to cover all of the blatant corruption of Trump and his orbit. There are only so many hours in the day…

I think Israel didn’t bother to ‘talk’, they just Leeroy Jenkinsed it up and the military decided they had to ride or die with it…

Trump didn’t make the leap to directly say to do that, but he did clearly think that strong lights and disinfectant in the body ‘should be looked into’. He was saved from directly making a terrible recommendation by having some amount of deference for the medical organizations, but did try to show ‘thought leadership’ in a very dumb direction.

It was not some sort of Stanford spinning up wild concepts, it was Trump taking very obvious things about how we handle these things outside the body and thinking that we would be the first to ask ‘but what about inside the body?’. Yes, he phrased it as a question to be looked into, but he clearly thought there could be something to it.

About the only credit you can give to first term Trump in this scenario is that he at least ultimately left health issues up to the health departments, even as he groused the whole time.

“Cigarettes can’t hurt you, anything that goes in the lungs you can just blow it back out again”

Nah, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho at least wanted the smartest man in the world trying to solve problems for him. This administration wouldn’t let a smart man near anything.

That’s just proof that he’s onto something, Big Cancer is afraid to admit that a cheap cancer cure already exists, obviously.

It’s grading on a curve.

Biden/Harris were weak on Israel, barely managing to occasionally wag a finger at them for misbehavior, but continuing to provide some support to Israel. This was bad.

Trump’s admin has been all in on it and has been ride or die for everything Netanyahu wants. This is even worse.

I know you are kidding, but if a monthly toll dividend payment went out to taxpayers even for a pittance, lots of folks would probably cheer the conquest happily.

I don’t know what you are getting at, of the people who come over from China and Taiwan that I talk to, no one believes that the two are one “nation” with different opinions on who is the authority. They may believe there’s not a distinct cultural identity but none think the “no, there’s only one China and onlywe are the real China” is a thing in practice, just a political formality.

The ones from China do say they wouldn’t push their luck expressing that publicly, and one went so far as to borrow a computer to log into without any association with them because they were paranoid about using their laptop issued to them with the Chinese employer preload. He wanted to read some Wikipedia the way an American sees it while he was over on business.

Tangentially, another one from China was super excited to try to get someone to get him a gun to shoot. We did manage to hook him up with a gun range.

Ctrl r my friend

A guy vibe coded something and said to incorporate it into my work.

Now it was a feature that people had asked for so I had to try it out.

It failed 75% of the things it was supposed to do and for the other what usually was a near instant interactive task took 5 minutes. I kicked it back saying he needed to fix the problems and improve performance. The end of the next day he answered that the infrastructure must be broken because the AI couldn’t get results and the performance problem was just the nature of the things the software had to interact with. I say “he”, but pretty sure his comment was LLM generated, long and useless.

But it was the impetus to get that function done now, as his “substantiative” work meant we could technically provide a customer request, lower priority as it may have been. So I spent a morning implementing the same thing it did but the old fashioned way, 100% worked and the unavoidably slow thing took less than a second.

Now I’m going to vote for you.

Frankly, the American voting public cares less about the unjust deaths of untold many foreign folks than the price of eggs 8 months before the vote.

Dating fine, but if going for a long term commitment, it may be rough to be in your 60s with a partner in their 80s. They have to understand if they are theoretically on that path and that their relationship will transform into elder care at some point. Also before that the older one will stop keeping up sexually.

If both see it as a short term fling, probably ok. The 46 year can probably keep up with a 25 year old in the ways that matter, and may have enough money for some interesting experiences to share.

so far, really early days yet

Texas Railroad Commissioner

Well guess he’s looking to use a lot of trains for something. Seems familiar…

stand in contrast to President Donald Trump’s ability to move markets throughout his first term and into his second.

This makes it sound like Trump otherwise had a uniquely good effect on markets. But his “good times” look the same as the market has looked back to the 90s except during Dubya’s term when the markets were very “meh” the whole time before crashing out.

Now he’s done perhaps even worse than dubya…

Offtopic, but I just think the Dow is just the dumbest thing.

We judge the entire economy based on 30 hand picked companies. And that membership evolves basically to fit a positive narrative if possible. One of the companies does poorly and drags the index? Just swap in a better performing company!
