Were they generating a new recap every time? If not, then why automate it? If so… why?

Funny “Haha” or funny “Uh Oh”?

A .tar archive is basically only the files cat’ed together, with a header and index added, right?

Tar does not include an index. It’s just the headers and data cat’ed together. You have to read from the beginning of the archive until you find the file you want. This is exacerbated if the archive is also gzipped, since you have to decompress all the files leading up to the one you want, as opposed to skipping over them as you could do in an uncompressed tar archive.

So why is there no archive format that just cat’es the compressed files together?

That’s essentially what a zip archive does. Each file is compressed separately and cat’ed together with uncompressed headers in between. Also zip archives do have an index which is what allows for random access and easy changes. The downside is that the compression ratio of a zip archive can be worse than a tar.gz archive.

There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

Yet Trump can declassify documents by thought alone.

“I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” she wrote in a statement.

She could just not run for re-election if that’s what she’s actually worried about. Resigning early doesn’t make sense.

It may be possible…

It may not be necessary…

What, no avocado toast?

So… it’s an order, then?

Bill Nyehilism is for me.

Hard to think of anything more useless than a bitcoin “mine”.

Yes, unless it’s an element of a crime like fraud or theft.

Depending on what counts as a “magnet”, the loss of magnetism could destroy the universe.

You have died from dysentery.

And stop sighing so much.

For soon, the quivering mass of life within me will depend on us both. Even now, I can sense it feeding, squirming, searching, questing. And shortly, it will rend my loins in twain, burst forth and pull us down, down, down into the deep, dark waters of commitment.

But not small ones.

Only people who live in the country.
