In contrast to usual articles, comments usually elaborate on the opinion of the jounalist.

Ah ok. Interestingly, he shot the left part of the branch quite close to the eagle.

Last Thursday, Jason Galvin used a .22-caliber rifle with a scope to fire 150 shots at the distant rope that was tangled around the eagle’s leg.

150 shots to hit and cut the 4 inch (10 cm) of rope (I guess about 1/4 inch (6 mm) at least not more than 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick) between the eagle and the branch located 70 feet (20 m) above ground, so realistically 100 feet (30 m) distance with a rifle that is not his, i.e. without knowing the aiming point.

What? At least in Germany, this is literally the most important thing in tought in driver’s education to always look into the mirrors and over the shoulder to check for traffic (pedestrians cyclists, …) before setting the flashers and turning right (or left).

As far as I understood, @Lazycog@sopuli.xyz was talking about the phonetic alphabet used in the armies of NATO countries, which is standardised by ICAO as Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, … and is not the everyday phonetic alphabet in each country, e.g. in Germany commonly Anton, Bertha, Cäsar, … but there are plenty of different versions and variants for each German speaking country.

If we would go back to Latin, it wouldn’t be the Latin as spoken by Cicero but some Vulgar Latin, as it is the origin of Romance languages like Italian, with simpler grammar.

This reminds me on the niche tool in Mathematica I’ve been using, which has four different assignment oparators for that purpose.

<= is already no mathematical assignment operator, but a comparison operator. Thus there is no need to define e.g. <== for comparing two values.

For those who like numbers: Vladimir the Great was both, Prince of Novgorod and Kiev, until his death in 1015 A.D. In 988, he converted to Christianity and subsequently so did the Kievan Rus.
The Great Schisma, the split between eastern, Orthodox, and western, Catholic, Christianity was 1054 A.D.

That’s the English text. In the German original (Wikipedia ), it says wer ist die schönste Frau (who is the most beautiful woman):

Sneewittchen aber wuchs heran, und als es sieben Jahr alt war, war es so schön, daß es selbst die Königin an Schönheit übertraf, und als diese ihren Spiegel fragte: „Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand: wer ist die schönste Frau in dem ganzen Land?“ sagte der Spiegel: „Frau Königin, Ihr seyd die schönste hier, aber Sneewittchen ist noch tausendmal schöner als Ihr!“ Wie die Königin den Spiegel so sprechen hörte, ward sie blaß vor Neid, und von Stund an haßte sie das Sneewittchen, und wenn sie es ansah, und gedacht, daß durch seine Schuld sie nicht mehr die schönste auf der Welt sey, kehrte sich ihr das Herz herum. Da ließ ihr der Neid keine Ruhe, und sie rief einen Jäger und sagte zu ihm: „führ das Sneewittchen hinaus in den Wald an einen weiten abgelegenen Ort, da stichs todt, und zum Wahrzeichen bring mir seine Lunge und seine Leber mit, die will ich mit Salz kochen und essen.“

But Snow White grew up, and when she was seven years old she was so beautiful that she surpassed even the Queen in beauty, and when she asked her mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful woman in all the land?” the mirror said, “Madam Queen, you are the most beautiful here, but Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than you!” When the Queen heard the mirror speak thus, she turned pale with envy, and from that hour she hated Snow White, and when she looked at her, and thought that through his fault she was no longer the fairest in the world, her heart turned round. Then her envy left her no peace, and she called a huntsman, and said to him, “Take the Snow White out into the forest to a far-off place, there she will be killed, and as a token bring me his [her] lungs and liver, and I will boil them with salt and eat them.”

In addition, the evil queen originally is the mother of Snow White.

For those who want a song accompaning the verses: Sabaton – Cliffs of Gallipoli

That may be dependent on where you went to school:

War of Separation/Secession

“War of Separation” was occasionally used by people in the Confederacy during the war. In most Romance languages, the words used to refer to the war translate literally to “War of Secession” […], a name that is also used in Central and Eastern Europe: Sezessionskrieg is commonly used in German language, and Wojna secesyjna is used in Polish. (Walt Whitman calls it the “War of Secession” or the “Secession War” in his prose).

Ah, obviously you’re right and bash is less tolerant to spaces than I’ve had in my mind:

You can declare aliases that will last as long as your shell session by simply typing these into the command line. The syntax looks like this:
alias alias_name="command_to_run"
Note that there is no spacing between between the neighbor elements and the equal sign. This is not optional. Spaces here will break the command.

Preferred over alias is function llaa { … }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.

Again what learned. What is wrong with having spaces around the equals sign, though?

The query actually shows a lack of confidence. He should have googled “How to recover a file from /dev/null?” instead.

I don’t know about the US, but in many European countries, gay sex, at least male-male, was considered as a criminal offence not even until so long ago.

The timeline is really worth having a look at.
