    I know. But is that someone lying ? Assuming Rosalia didn't mean "put on your loving face (and loving mode for all body parts in general) and get flat on the bed" but she meant "tell me you love me even if it isn't (yet?) true". Did that someone lie to her ? (with good intention or plausible...

    A singer who wrote a song titled "lie like you love me". I think. I don't follow her. She is or was famous around here for some time.

    So do you consider consensual lying is lying, or it's just a contradiction in terms for you ? If Rosalia says "Lie like you love me" to someone, and that someone doesn't love her but tells her "I love you", is that someone lying ?

    Storytelling is consensual lying, so it just means Peony thinks null is bad at storytelling. He can still make it up with other skills...

    You should have lied to her. It's OK when it's consensual.

    OK. So swimmers are lying. I thought the difficult part was breathing air instead of water, optimizing and coordinating limb movement and mastering strength, but apparently what must be really hard must be shouting lies without getting water in..

    You should look into the dts what thermal options there are, and maybe modfify, recompile to dtb and install them. Then play with /sys/class/thermal/* Maybe have a look at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal-cooling-devices.yaml...

    Linux is not UNIX either. And even if it was, Linux is a kernel. GNU is a project to build enough free software not to need anything else. It develops some programs and uses others that are free and available, such as Linux. You can use a GNU system with a Linux kernel or with a Hurd kernel...

    Ops. You're right. I tend to pronounce GNU/Linux "GNU Linux". I happen to run linux-libre, btw, but still I meant the OS, not the kernel. I'll try to correct myself, thanks for mentioning it. But old habits die hard... makes sense Pse... Linux gets compiled with gcc, and gcc is part of GNU (I...

    I don't know. I had the idea the Iberian peninsula changed hands more opportunistically. When one side of the border was economically or politically weak the other side would fight to expand land or to compel lords to change sides. It wasn't like a crusade where some central power summons forces...

    I don't think so, since it was centuries later. And in different places. In fact Near East could be Orthodox, Jew or Muslim, but never Catholic before the crusades. But if it was ever a response, then being more violent, less advanced and less tolerant, it's quite a bad response, if you ask me.

    If you just mean the state should be laic, then I'm with you. But if you mean Quran is somehow worse than Bible or any other text, then I say bullshit. It doesn't matter. I love The Little Prince, but I'm sure one could build a nasty sect out of it, the problem is not the novel, ti's the crowd...

    Which might be too foreing a notion for Belarussians ? (Post Meal is Ante next Meal?) Because apparently they use 24h time in Belarussian and 12h with AM/PM in English. I mean 15:00 - 15:15 is by no means 3:00 AM - 3:15 PM (it'd be 3:00 PM - 3:15 PM). Or the English speaking attendant may be out...

    Because they don't like GNU. It reminds them that they chose wealth over morals. They prefer to see themselves as successful than contemplate the open issues. Either because they don't think those issues are important, because they think they're not more important than business interests, or...

    Flaming him ? Ok, this is very subjective and possibly unfounded, but I think he just got the whim to buy Twitter because a user was posting there the airports he (or his plane) was landing on, which was already public info. And taking into account the amount of info from people travels that...
