In the US, a conductor is the one who checks tickets, makes announcements, and delegates tasks to the crew to help ensure things keep moving on time.

The locomotive engineer is the one who is “driving” the train. They run the engine and communicate with dispatch and traffic control to keep them informed where this particular train is fitting into the overall juggling act,. They also make every effort to keep things safe (watching for signals, obstructions, etc.).

I’m not 100% sure if the terminology is different outside of the Us.

FANTASTIC reference! This movie is so funny and awesome, and it seems to have completely disappeared from pop culture. I never understood why Conan looms so large in our collective memory, but this movie totally vanished.

You might be talking about Never10, made by Steve Gibson over at GRC.com. It has since been updated and renamed InControl. It now also works to prevent unwanted Win11 upgrades, as well as other things. https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm

Very nutritious, but they smell like death.

It’s about 7%. That is a lot.

The real question is, what is the overall population growth rate compared with before? I wonder how many people are leaving TX, or (more likely) deciding to not move to TX, compared with previous years.

Thanks for this tip. I hadn’t heard about this before, and it sounds like an interesting thing to add to my tool chest.

so if you browse youtube that can go via a country that does not allow ads.

Can you tell me more about this? I’ve never heard about that this is a thing, and it sounds like a good thing to known

I bet people love working with you…

This is the way.

I’ll make this more extreme as a means of illustrating the point everyone else seems to be trying to get across…

Russia is a nation full of parents who love their children, artists and musicians creating interesting and new art, and rebels developing creative and novel approaches for resisting their fascist government. But, when people say that “Russia sucks”, those aren’t the reasons.

I’m honestly not sure. Does a jury vote need to be unanimous for a guilty verdict?

I’m just some idiot on the internet who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, but…

Is it possible this isn’t a mistake? If you’re going to try to win a trial through corruption and wrongdoings, it seems easier to illicitly win over (and have it stay quiet) one person than half of a jury, no?

Thanks for letting us know!

It’s my own fault, and the result of 30+ years of muscle memory building up. Plus, while I agree cmd isn’t nearly as powerful as powershell or wsl can be, when I’m in Windows it’s still the fastest way for me to do 90% of the simple things I need to do. I have a long history with it, and a thorough understanding of it, so I don’t really need to think for most of the things I’m doing there.

If I need to script something, or do anything that seems like it would be annoying to do in CMD, I hop into WSL pretty quickly and get to work with bash or python. The problem I have now is that I’ve developed a little muscle memory there as well… hence my issue with entering ‘ls’ everywhere.

That is interesting. I just remoted into 5 different machines at the office and none of them worked with ‘ls’. If you enter ‘ls /?’, does it give you a synopsis and argument list?

That is a fair statement, but also a different topic.

I am thankful to live in an age with WSL.

As of Aug 26, 2023, Windows command prompt absolutely does not recognize “ls” as a command.

Powershell is a different story.
