    If you visit Europe then every hotel you stay in records your passport details and submits them every night

    So, I get marked troll for pointing out that a lying troll is a lying troll. Way to go anti-systemd loons.

    No, Poetering does not "consider exit statuses, stderr, and syslog "broken concepts."", that's why systemd works so well with exit statuses, stderr and syslog, unlike sysvinit which throws stderr on the console where no one will see it and has no way of checking the status of launched daemons.

    A third option is to use a newer distro that does not use systemd. I run a Gentoo system that does not use systemd. You can also get up-to-date Debian based distros such as [ Debian ] which don't [ have to ] use systemd.

    I still don't know what Devuan and friends are supposed to be for.

    The article comes to the conclusion that there are about 12,000 "real" women.

    Frankly, I think a ratio of 2583 men for one woman is a lot closer to no women than few women.

    No, because normal clouds are produced by evaporation, which, of course, leaves the salt in the water.

    This plan is to make clouds by spraying water into the air.

    The liquid sea water is sprayed in the air, making salty clouds. Clouds drift over the land, and fall as rain/snow on the mountains.

    Salty snow. Nice.

    Or you could desalinate the water before spraying it, but that would cost a lot more.
