  • It’s because modern conservatives are less concerned about facts.

    Republicans claim climate change is a hoax; the reality is that climate change is already causing measurable damage around the planet.

    Republicans claim Haitian immigrants are eating dogs and cats; the reality is they aren’t.

    Republicans claim Democrats want to abort newborn infants. The reality is this is illegal everywhere.

    Republicans claim illegal immigration and crime area crisis. Reality is the numbers are actually trending down.

    Republicans claim supply side economics worse. Reality is that supply side economics does not work and Democratic presidents perform better on every economic measure.

    Republicans have recently claimed that schools are doing trans surgeries on kids without their parents’ permission and immigrants have a direct phone line to Kamala Harris in exchange for illegal votes. Reality is that those are too stupid to garner a serious response.

    So yeah, reality happens to have a liberal bias when conservatives are trying to out-stupid each other.











  • Dpkg is the low level tool for Debian packages.

    Apt-get is the original frontend for dpkg. It is a full featured tool that lets the user give commands to dpkg, along with apt-cache, which displays information to the user.

    Apt is a high level tool for user friendliness. It combines some features from apt-get and apt-cache, as well as adds progress bars and other quality of life features. It also strips down some features the average user doesn’t use.

    So neither is a wrapper for the other. They are two similar tools that do the same job. Apt-get is better for scripting due to being a more rigid tool while apt is nicer for end users.


  • Sure you can!

    Get a coin, and flip it 100 times. Record each time it lands on heads/tails.

    Now get a devout believer, and have the believer continuously say devout prayers petitioning God to make the coin read heads. Then, flip the coin 100 times, and record heads/tails.

    Do statistical analysis to see whether there is a statistically significant difference between the control group and the prayer group. Pretty easy to verify if true.
