  Uncommon speech patterns and behaviours. People with ASD are more likely to be suspected to be lying when they are telling the truth, due to avoidance of eye contact, lower stress threshold, talking about unnecessary tangents that seem unrelated to the topic and uncommon stress reactions like fawning.

  Honestly, as weird as this movie and its premise was, it’s a very interesting and recommendable watch.

  While I agree that dd can be easily used, it still is a dumb command (as in its only purpose is to write and nothing else), which can result in some issues regarding validating the integrity of the installation, at least for a beginner.

  Furthermore, it can be disastrous if you don’t pay attention to what you type in, as it will happily overwrite anything you type in.

  Also, I don’t think that dd alone should be used as a backup, as it might result in inconsistent backups. The best simple backup system, no matter whether you are a beginner or an expert, are snapshots, and maybe using dd to backup those to an external drive to be sure.

  I agree that once learning how to use dd programs like BalenaEtcher sort of become more clutter than anything else.

  Still, something I would always prefer over dd is Ventoy, simply because not only allows me to easily make an ISO bootable, but allow multiple ISOs to be easily bootable on the same USB stick. I hope it never becomes abandonware.

  Both are authentic, with the vinegar variant being the Bavarian/Swabian variant. Not sure where the mayo variant came from however.

  Are you sure that a dinosaur laid a chicken egg? Or did a chicken hatch from a dinosaur egg? When does a dinosaur end being a dinosaur and begin being a chicken anyways?

  Funnily enough, some prions like those responsible for CWD will not be killed via cooking, but the infected material has to be incinerated to get rid of it.
