Spanish singing rock bands

There’s many good famous Argentinian rock bands from the 80s and 90s with clean vocals. Soda Stereo, Divididos, and Attaque 77 (sometimes spelled A77aque) would be my recommendation to start with for bands that lean more towards the hard side of Rock (there’s more, but some I won’t recommend because of their members’ later questionable actions, and the rest you’ll find by following the trail of related artists from the above set). For Pop/Rock start with Los Rodriguez, Charly Garcia, and Los Autenticos Decadentes.

From other countries off the top of my head I’d recommend Mano Negra, Cafe Tacvba, and Molotov (warning: explicit lyrics).

The conservatives don’t want to clean up. They just want to drag everyone down into their own slop.

And if IBM could, they’d make Red Hat closed source in a blink.

The screw/bolt also changes in width as it passes the nut.

I think this would be better suited in c/unclejokes

The English version is “I got mine, fuck you.”

Also applies to immigrant minorities who them vote conservative to keep other immigrants out.

If it’s anything like what’s happening in NYC, that IS a cop.

Garrett Wang wins that contest alone, with those glasses and the gelled hair.

“Booker, catch!”

Left is for when you want to do your business in peace. Right is for the peanut gallery, philosophical discussions, weather updates, and battleshits.

Xbox compatible controllers all support xinput, which works well on Linux, both wired and wireless. Third party PlayStation controllers on the other hand can be weird on wired connections, and may only work with Bluetooth.

I’m quite happy with 8bitdo controllers - they’re sturdy, have hall effect sticks so they won’t drift, and work out of the box. Cheaper controllers will work too, but may end up falling apart sooner than later.

According to the Wikipedia article I just read (which now makes me an expert), calico is a specific kind of tortie. All calicos are tortoiseshell but not all tortoiseshell are calico.

I was going to make a “I said tortie, not turtle” joke, but ya beat me to it.

There’s a few issues with that approach:

• Blockchains can’t forget, but they also need to add new blocks on every period, meaning that there’s a lot of idle events that are added to the chain. You can increase the period, but then the chain has more latency. Either way, the disk space needed to store the full chain grows really fast, which becomes a problem when trying to bootstrap a new root node, or backup an existing one.
• Unless you’re trading land titles internationally (read: there’s no single trusted authority), blockchains could just be replaced with a regular distributed database and servers.
• Chains don’t offer out of band recovery and error correction.

I thought it was a reference to the Westworld character…

That’s because the default color scheme is white on black. Just change it and Poof! Blue magic, red magic, yellow magic… so many possibilities!

I’d rather Stewart continue with his activism. Colbert on the other hand…

Perplexity: “But that would cost us moneeyyyy!”
