The video in the other comment is great, but doesn't really get into how useless this "tool" is for everyone. We never had a shutdown before the 80s, and they have turned into annual talking points. Each shutdown the rules are a bit different depending on length and if partial budgets get passed. Defense sometimes gets its own budget passed so they don't shutdown.

In a shutdown, federal employees don't work. It may sound like this will save the government money because people won't get paid for their non work. This isn't true, a vast majority of government employees continue to get paid, so the government is spending money it doesn't have and no work is getting done. Government contractors don't make new money during a shutdown. Large government contractors anticipate this and will plan a 14 day shutdown into their budget so they can keep working. This means they just have to over bill the government the rest of the year. Smaller contractors are the ones who actually get screwed out of pay and work, and usually subcontractors of contractors as well.

If it sounds like this doesn't help anyone, you'd be right. It's a bit of political theater that was more or less invented in the 80s so that congress can make the sitting president (probably from the opposing party) look bad. Government spending is never more inefficient than during a shutdown, so if you actually cared about spending, you would avoid them no matter what.

Seed?

The Irishman. The fact that I lost 3 hours to that pointless slog is so painful I'd rather just forget all about it. I'll never get those 3 hours back, but at least the regret will be gone.

I just stopped buying liquid soap in favor of bar soap about a year ago. It lasts longer, cleans way better, uses no plastic and has almost 0 waste.

I HAVEN'T BEEN RUNNING WITH THE PACK FOR A BIT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DOING MY OWN THING BUT NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE I HOPE YOU ALL WELCOME ME BACK AWWOOOOOOOOO!!!

Remember that Martin Scorsese's last big movie was The Irishman, so he isn't saving the movie industry either.

Also, Hugo was based on a comic book, so kind of hypocritical.

The problem probably was that Coke isn't in the soda creating business. People already drink a ridiculous amount of sodas. Coke is in the soda cheapening business, the only thing left for them to do is cut corners until making soda costs nothing. New sodas are just an opportunity for them to redefine cheap to a new low. This is why you should buy independent, small scale soda companies. Their entire business model is making something better than Coke.

Most advice I've seen says you shouldn't look for distros on torrent sites, and official torrents tend to disappear after each new release.

Funnily enough, that's how a lot of people will describe their user experience as well.

If it's a new car, then it's less efficient than your old car. This is still true (or possibly even more true) for electric cars.

The same electric systems that just got recalled?

Elementary particles didn't have a color for most of history, but recently xkcd made a comic on the topic, giving us a definite answer to the question.
