There are live distros that run directly from thumb drives.
Many distros run this way for their installer (e.G. Mint).
So it really depends on what you’re trying to do.

Lol.
Clearly you’ve never been close to a data center.
- Comment on What's your opinions on film critics and film snobs?? 1 day ago:
I mean, you’re asking for an opinion on people who have opinions.
Also, do you consider film critics and film “snobs” (definition required) to be the same?
- Comment on How are you using your laptop (with internet) that still runs Windows10? 1 day ago:

I always see analogies as he effective at their chosen level of resolution (similar to your scale).
At dinner-table-conversation level, or 5 year old kid level, these water analogies work.
If you need to actually produce something, they’re completely useless.
But for most stuff/people, Newtonian analogies work surprisingly well, so long as we always qualify it with “remember, this isn’t actually how it works, this is just an analogy to get you closer to how it works”.

Everything is part of the EM (electromagnetic) spectrum - light, radio, microwaves (which were originally/still used for radio) etc.

Yes.
- Comment on How come people get fined for breaking the law and it goes to the state or county? Why doesn't the fine go to the victim or victims? Instead of having to pay restitution just fine them. 4 days ago:
Fine is a general deterrent, restitution is separate.
Think fine for running a stop sign - that’s a deterrent for running the stop sign.

Yea, I don’t know how you drown in one, they’re very shallow. So shallow canal boats have a draft of 2-3 ft and still often have to stick to the center to avoid grounding or dragging along the bottom.
So yea, something in this story doesn’t add up.
- Comment on Unions that paralyzed New York commute over pay spent millions on luxury travel, filings show 5 days ago:
I’m shocked, shocked I say!
- Comment on When you are not employed but need to go to a workshop/conference/public events that require you to lost out your company and title, what do you put on without sounding awkward? 5 days ago:
I will often not mention my company in conversations, as it’s well-known and I don’t want anything I say or do associated with the company, just in case (risk management is a primary driver of the business).
So “Independent Contractor” is good enough, and vague enough.
- Comment on If only the person who did this ceiling had their tools even half as well calibrated as I do 1 week ago:
That’s why you hire a caulkender!
- Comment on It's about the *option* 1 week ago:
You sound like me - my 20 year old “toy truck” has been offload lots more that most of those garage queens (and looks it).
I don’t look to go off road, sometimes it’s just necessary to get somewhere like a neat campsite, and it can do it.

- Comment on How come Presidents don't just be honest with people? Like say I started this war because I own oil stock so tough shit. Or like yea I was a pedo back then so tough shit. so on and son on ? 2 weeks ago:
You’re overlooking 500 people in congress, their hangers-on, governers, their hangers-on, etc.
Politics is the nature of groups of people.

Read Machiavelli. This is all just human nature at scale.

How about just stop supporting an archaic technology that violates basic principles developed 40 years ago (that is, RCS is a hardware-bound “protocol”, something that was eliminated with TCP/IP).
- Comment on Why did the Crocodile Hunter die? Was he aggervating sting rays. I watched and messed with them in the gulf. But not one has ever try to sting me. Was he piising them off that much? 3 weeks ago:
Despite Steve’s deserved reputation, from what I’ve read this time was truly just bad timing/accident.
Steve probably was too close though.

Royal Farms chicken is fantastic.

Ever heard of a man trap?
Every data center I’ve been to uses them. Best part is it you don’t know what you’re looking at, you’d have no idea the foyer was constructed as a man trap.
Don’t need much security when you have a man trap.
