Like the server said, "Not my table!"

Never tried it myself. I did provide clean urine to a friend, but I think their plan was just to wear it in/near their crotch long enough for it to warm up.

I'd imagine microwaving might work, as long as you didn't do it too long. But, I don't know if there's some ions or proteins in urine that are more sensitive to microwaves than other heating methods.

Someone probably tried to heat "clean" urine to pass a drug test.

The war on drugs killed my convenience store burritos.

I'm late and this will get buried, but this really speaks to the difference between the open source / ESR / OSI ideology and the free software / RMS / GNU ideology.

Open source ideology says it is better because it produces better software. If MacOS X was closed source and better it serves as a repudiation of that ideology.

Free software ideology says it is better because denying users any of the four freedoms is an immoral act. If MacOS X was proprietary software and better, it would still be immoral to deny users their freedoms; the ideology is not impacted.

Yeah, I prefer tiled windows (XMonad) but I use my mouse for a lot of things, it's not because I need a keyboard based workflow.

I used Windows 2.something on an old Compaq 386 (16MHz) and it didn't automatically title anything. There was an option to tile (or cascade) the current window set, but a new window would not cause a retiling. Neither would a window closing.

Yeah, there's room for both, but I think replacing proprietary software is actually a bit higher priority than just being different.

I suppose it depends on what you are replacing, tho.

One executable updates the other and vice-versa. Like Robin Hood and Fryer Tuck defending one another.

That's far from the only approach, too.

How would blocking / muting work? I imagine anonymous posts to be, on average, worse that even burner-account posts.

Trump is a National Security Risk, of course he brought a few with him.

Yeah, inner work was my intention last time I tripped, but instead I ended up vegging out and getting annoyed at my trip mates. It was a waste of time and materials.

I don't know if there will be a next time to try to do better.

Most people probably don't have a signed contract with GMail.

I haven't checked the EULA but they likely have sole discretion around dropping / blocking email, especially any email that might be deleterious to Google Alphabet's business.
