I went low tech with cutting the hole. I used a brick set and hammer from the outside. This was a brick veneer over block with brick veneer on the inside wall construction. When it was time to cut the inside, I powered down all the equipment, draped it all with plastic and didn't start anything back up until the vacuum cleaner filter was always coming out clean. Slow but safe.
Seriously though, I put in a commercial grade window unit. I had to cut a hole in a brick wall, second story (glad that we own lifts here) while the server room was operational.
I keep it set to 72F with a smart fan option, and it has been running 24/7 for 4 years now. It is cooling 12 machines in 2 racks, PBX and switches/routers plus all the UPSs. Positioned the hole in the wall so that it blows across the front of the racks. Nary a problem. The unit cost $800 from McMaster-Carr, and I spent a weekend installing it. I'm fortunate that I spent 25 years in the building/fabrication trades before moving to IT, and I don't have to have anyone's permission to do the right thing.
None of these people want to represent the average person. They just want the vote.
So they all become pandering cowards who will say whatever to whoever.
The job of leadership is pretty awful, and the compensation is not that great based on what you have to deal with to get there. Now ask yourselves, "So what ulterior motives do politicians have to spend that much time and energy for such a crappy job?"
Keeping the criminals out of your neighborhood is very valuable.
The people who perform those tasks are not valuable, at least it is not indicated by their pay. Now, the people that they work for, who probably would not do that task for that level of pay, are rewarded richly.
It is voodoo economics that determines compensation for tasks performed, nothing more.
Nail guns allowed less skillful people to work as carpenters, to do an adequate job in situations where they would have not been able to do so before. Nail guns also allowed skilled carpenters to do simple jobs more easily and quickly.
If all you need is a wall frame of 2x4s, a carpenter of limited skill with a nailgun will do. But if you want fine furniture built, you need someone with more skills, who knows the properties of different sorts of wood and different types of joints and fasteners. Before nailguns, every carpenter knew these things.
A master carpenter would have this knowledge, a journeyman carpenter might have some insights and limited experience, and an apprentice carpenter might know how to hold a hammer. It is the same today, an apprentice carpenter with a nailgun is still an apprentice carpenter. With over 30 years experience as a carpenter in trades from housing to furniture to scenery, I can tell you that very few carpenters know what you mention until the end of their journeyman training. Few people hiring carpenters believe that a carpenter without training and experience is anything but a noob.
Like any other learning experience, whether trade or academic, what makes it engaging enough to want to learn is what matters.
I don't agree with your statements. Gnome is not an OS, it is more of a GUI shell for the OS that has interoperable programs that pull look and feel from the shell. Like a lot of software does on a lot of differing platforms. The thoughts outlined in the HIG can be translated by any intelligent person to fit their needs. The poster just needed an idea of how to proceed, and the HIG does an excellent job of providing a jump point.
And they had a popularly elected government overthrown with the aid of the CIA. A brutal dictator was installed afterwards. (Shah) Easy enough to see the U.S. as double-talking bad guys.
...At least that is what one pre-surgery disclaimer that I was required to sign said. I asked if I could weasel around with the same language if I was repairing the roof on the surgeon's house. That was not met with humor.
Still, the body is not very exact. Everybody is wired a little different, the chemical mix is a little different, and how we respond to our environment is different.
Sometimes it seems that medicine is more an industry that uses science as needed, but doesn't want to get bogged down with the details.
I bought just a half a pound of ammonium nitrate for fertilizing my corn after Oklahoma City, and I had to register with the feed store. It might be easier to get dynamite;-/
It is not that private companies are more efficient, it is that they have executives that have outrageous salaries who can contribute to said politicians' campaigns to keep their public trough jobs.
My daddy told me once, "The only difference between a Democrat politician and a Republican politician is that a Democrat feels guilty for having a bunch of money he didn't have to work for, and a Republican does not."
As I watch roads being widened, the utilities are relocated, new and often better quality lines are strung, storms take out huge swaths of utility lines that are replaced under disaster area declarations, new developments are built that require service where there was none, and such; I ask -- how much taxpayer funding provided these upgrades? Upgrades that a private company profits from. Upgrades or additional subscribers that they would not have taken care of otherwise.
I don't recall commenting about race or setting time constraints on when violence by Christians in the United States against non-Christians started or stopped. The post I responded to seemed to think that Christians did not resort to killing in order to enforce belief or membership in their cult.
I've had my truck damaged several times while at the oil change business in town (with the fishie symbol on the sign) when it had a Darwin fish on the tailgate.
We danced quite a few Jewish folk on the end of a rope 'cause "Them thars the people that done kill't our Lord!"
Property theft, torture, and lynchings have all been used in the South to punish people for not being Christian through the years. Down here, if you are white, you are assumed to have been raised in a Christian home, and if you ain't Christian now...it's open season.
On a lighter note, I have noticed that what sin is has diminished. Now it seems as though there are only two sins:
Looking at the table, fatalities have decreased even though the number of cars on the road has increased. Could be safer cars, better enforcement, less drunks behind the wheel or less inflation of numbers. I just thought it interesting that the number had declined.

Most workers don't want to be workers. They simply feel they have no other choice.
There, I spun that closer to reality for you.
"splitting maul" wouldn't have been funny
I grant you that. I just wanted to keep the unwashed from learning the wrong thing (if they learned anything at all).
As in:
"Watch out! That dog'll maul you to death!"
Seriously though, that is a splitting maul. A maul is just a mallet or hammer.

The Catholic Church has only been concerned with two things for centuries:

Any resources those poor people were living on top of

Being poor
Having sex that doesn't make little white babies
I should have stated my point.

I modded the one you paraphrased funny. I got here too late with no mod points left to do the same for you. Sorry ;-/
