More of us than you think (and often by preference rather than cost).
Current main travel laptop is a T420, backed by a T520 w/nvidia when needed (older T41s, T60's lying around). Both work fine with linux & modern browsers (the T420 is particular has great battery life).
Somewhat along the same lines, as I regularly SSH to other hosts with the same network filesystem mounts, 'scd' starts an SSH session on a remote host in the same directory.
#!/bin/bash
# SSH to remote system and change into same (current) directory
DIR=$(pwd)
ssh -t $1 "cd $DIR; bash -l -i"
i made `rr` (remote run) for a use-case very similar to this.
it expects the remote fs is mounted under .../ssh/HOSTNAME/ and runs any command in that dir on the remote host.
if it is not the root which is mounted, looks up mtab for the remote base directory.
That's actually XON/XOFF - in the old days when computers could send serial data to your VT100 or whatever faster than it could handle it (and we're talking 9600 baud here), the terminal would send XOFF (ctrl-S) telling the computer to stop sending - then, when the terminal caught up, it would send XON (ctrl-Q) to let the system know it could resume sending.
The advantage of doing it this way ('software flow control') is it worked with just TX and RX lines, rather than having to connect up additional wires to indicate when the terminal was busy ('hardware flow control').
In this particular case, the main stream parties did not take part (i.e. field candidates) because the current MP (Farage) resigned just to retake his own seat - basically trying to distract from his dodgy dealings with crypto bros and convicted fraudsters.
I would have voted Count Binface too (as the least absurd candidate).
Farage basically managed to dodge the investigation into his non-declaration of £5m for about five weeks (due to him not being an MP). Now that he's an MP again, the investigation has re-opened. What's likely to happen is that he'll get suspended for breaking the rules and there'll be yet another Clacton by-election.
Clacton has to bear all the costs of these by-elections, but then it's their own fault for being stupid enough to follow Farage.
I very much cannot understand why the parties did not take part. So happily letting him take back a seat he abandoned earlier for whatever reasons? Or what is even the point of not competing? He can be investigated whether in office or not, so that's not a point.
> basically trying to distract from his dodgy dealings with crypto bros and convicted fraudsters.
No, so he can say that the voters have spoken and that they don't care.
It seems to be that it's common belief in right wing parties that winning an election means all cases against you are dropped. They aren't, unless you get elected president of the US. But I think that's where they're all getting it from.
And kids. I recently happened to see a pic on a kid's phone of him holding 5 vapes and a tin of snus, when challenged on it he said it was an AI-generated fake.
Jaw-dropping stuff, looking forward to pointing 9-year old daughter (in "Future Astrophysicist" t-shirt) at it!
Possibly a naive question, after surfing the image for a while I didn't find any einstein rings (or arcs) - are they just rare/wrong scale or something else?
They are both fairly rare, and or like you said wrong scale (for this data release at least). There is actually one in this field, but it is below the noise floor of this image, it is very small and very faint. There will be others in the future that will be easier to see. By the end of our survey we will have about 40,000 sq deg (a bit over half the night sky) looking like what you see here.
Be sure you and your daughter click the search icon, there are a few other fields of stuff you can check out. The links in the search will take you there without needing to scroll around the big black sphere.
Totally agree though, anyone with a vague understanding of how bikes works ignores the pelican because they know the bike is unrideable in the first place.
