The largest ring of Jupiter is just about 129 000 km of radius. The nearest Galilean moon to jupiter has a semi-major axis of 421 800 km, so the rings aren’t in any of their orbital neighborhoods.

Beside, the largest of them, Ganymede, is more massive than Mercury.

But you’re right that not all the moons would be either planets or dwarf planets, many would be asteroids.

One must imagine Pluto happy.

Four of them, the galilean moons would be. The others would be dwarf planets [EDIT not all moons, many would be asteroids].

Can I go an hour without eating pickles? If I fail, I’m deleting my comment. [EDIT: It was a close one, but I made it ! This comment is here to stay ! Celebratory pickle time.]

Yeah, it’s one of the few pebblethrow comics that you couldn’t tell are nazis if you didn’t know their other stuff, and it’s alright.

Tho I think the only right-wing cartoon that ever got a laugh out of me was this one :

One must imagine the pinecone collector happy.

If a RHT^1 is causing if I find that not only the FYGAT^2 doesn’t always suffice, but the intuitive technique of TOSE^3 tends to be counterproductive. What I do to stop RHTs is instead broadening my field of vision to look at everything at once and simultaneously trying to listen to every sound I can hear at once. Any given thought or information can be somehow integrated into a RHT and feed it, but many informations at once can’t.

I don’t find that this adage applies that well in politics. Yeah, I’ll assume whoever almost hit me with his car the other day was stupid/irresponsible/distracted rather than that they were attempting to murder me. Or that someone who gave me wrong directions to somewhere was mistaken rather than deceitful. That is because stupidity can explain these things, but stupidity on its own doesn’t explain becoming president.

Beside, if you assume he was being used by dickcheneys, you’re still assuming malice, just not from the same person.

As for which case his behavior would make most sense in, I won’t try to contradict you since I’m not good at analysing people and don’t enjoy trying.

I just tend to think of Trump+close collaborators as a system and assume the purpose of a system is what it does, and I don’t make too many assumptions of Trump’s exact place in this.

With people in power it’s always hard to say whether a bad thing they do is due to stupidity or ill-intent, tho I tend to favor the second hypothesis.

All of their actions did benefit a group. For Trump, most obviously, himself; but he also advanced the power of the American far-right and probably some companies thanks to lose regulations. For Bush, he clearly aimed to give more power to companies over things formerly done by the state, like hurricane relief or even the military. His vice president Dick Cheney famously profited from the Iraq war through the company Halliburton.

Many of Bush’s policies had a disastrous human cost, but they were very efficient at filling the pockets of a few shareholders. So was he an incompetent buffoon playing into the hands of the capitalists, or was he himself an evil schemer who willingly enriched those he deemed worthy allies at the expense of the rest of the world?

Same question applies to Trump. A narrative people like is that of the out of control puppet. An idiot that the Republican Party tried to use because he was attractive to their target demographic, but who ended up turning against his puppeteers and giving full reign to his folly.

But it’s also possible that he is a smart and evil man who’s particularly talented at playing the role of a madman and who saw it was working.

So basically, I have no definite knowledge of the intelligence of either man.

How about systemd-windows?

Votey pannel:

I would not recommend Arch for beginners. I like it, but it’s best for someone a bit familiar with Linux already. Yeah, the install is pretty simple now that Archinstall is a thing, but it’s not the method recommended in the Arch Wiki and if there’s something wrong with your install and you complain on the Arch Forum they might not be super helpful.

More generally, the mood on the Arch forum and Arch communities at large isn’t super beginner friendly, and thay’s understandable: In a distro meant to be user friendly and aimed at general user, if the user does what seems natural to them and the system break, the community will feel a responsibility towards them, because the system wasn’t stable and user-friendly enough. In a distro primarily aimed at power users and devs, if the user does what seems natural to them and the system breaks, then the user is a fool and should’ve read the wiki.

Because it is a very fast rolling release, some updates can break stuff. It doesn’t happen often, but it can happen at a bad time and be a big problem for someone who doesn’t know how to deal with it.

Debian is more stable, and easier if you go with a D.E, but you still have to make several choices during the install, which might be a bit complicated for a beginner who doesn’t know what any of these options mean… Tho of course, it’s possible to go with all the defaults and it’ll be alright.

But my prime recommendation would be Linux Mint.

Sometimes yeah, but other times it’s really just one song. For example, I really like the song “Ruler of Everything” by Tally Hall, but when I tried listening to more of their stuff I mostly didn’t like it. There are also many intermediate cases. I can confidently say “Eh el Ibara” by Masar is my favorite music ever. As for the album it’s from, “El 'Aysh Wel Mehl”, it’s a solid album, maybe in my top 12. Same for the band in general. The leader/composer Hazem Shaheen might be ranked a bit higher, like maybe my 6th or 7th favorite musician, because I also like some of the other songs he made without this band, like “Horse of Darwish”. But there are more instances where I’ll want to listen to just my 1 favorite song rather than to my 12th favorite album entirely.

I’d switched from i3 to sway, but the click offset in Krita made me switch back.
