You have no idea what your talking about. It is not and never was a compound word of wife and man. The word wif meant the same thing as the modern day word woman. The word wifman was a compound word that would be translated into modern English as woman-person, with the exact same meaning as woman is used to today. It had nothing at all to do with being married. I’ve read the comment chain, where you say, repeatedly, that the word woman originates with a meaning related to marriage. It doesn’t, at all. You do not understand what you are reading.

“Wif = wife / man = mankind. Literally the wif of men”

It meant no such thing, ever. Wif didnt mean wife when this word was created. It meant what we now mean by the word woman. And the word wifman in today’s language would mean woman-person. It’s right there in the article you linked that you are unable to understand, or quite possibley, chose to misunderstand.

Yeah buddy. That doesn’t say it means or has ever meant wifeman. Woman has always, from its first use up to now, meant a female human. So you read things and then interpret them as having whatever meaning you like?

I like that you call some nonsense about woman meaning wifeman an “exchange of ideas”. It’s utter nonsense, so in what sense is it an idea - that you thought of it? Or have you been reading “A history of English words for people with preconceived notions”?

It’s unfair to blame the restaurant when the private equity firm that bought them deliberately stripped the restaurant’s assets, hoping to rip off some later buyer. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/private-equity-rolled-red-lobster-rcna153397

It would have been nice if they pointed out which part was renovated so I didn’t need to scour the picture to find it.

Other people have better ideas, but a very small dab of blue Loctite (the one that isn’t permanent) on the bottom knuckle would keep it in place but probably be removable with a hammer and pin.

Thanks. Didn’t know that.

Ah, that’s explains it.

Im not familiar with Medium, but I don’t recall the other things I’ve read there being vapid crap.

Yeah, I use that all the time. I think I use it in a different way though. I have projects with C, C++ and other languages. The C and C++ get compiled and linked together, and so there are some considerations for those files that don’t apply to anything else. So I mean C files and C++ files, but not as if they were the same language.

I did this in a project and someone later came and changed them all to .h, because that was “the convention” and because “any C is valid C++”. Obviously neither of those things is true and I am constantly befuddled by people’s use of the word convention to mean “something some people do”. It didn’t seem worth the argument though.

Doubling each time is exponential: y(n) = c * 2^n. Here c is 5 million, and n starts at 0.

I think the largest group by far isn’t listed: people who bought an appliance and didn’t care at all that it had WiFi and never connected it their network.

It’s a a rival of Hardvard.

“It’s”? Are you talking about covid? Because we’re talking about other diseases, and if you’re claiming that a population fully vaccinated against mumps, other than the immunocompromised, doesn’t protect the immunocompromised from mumps, feel free to look up and compare current and past rates for mumps infections.

Then, use your half a brain to extend that to COVID. The COVID vaccines do little to prevent transmission in that if you are vaccinated, and are exposed to the virus, you will still likely become infected. But the vaccines reduce the duration of infection and reduce the viral load shed by the infected person, thus reducing the probability that an infected person will spread to anyone else. If an infected person is infecting fewer people, that is a reduction in overall transmission. So when you say “’we’ve known the vaccines do not prevent transmission”, you’re completely wrong, or at the very least, equivocating, by conflating individual transmission with overall transmission rates. Here’s a link, since I doubt you’ll know what that means either: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/equivocating.

And they’re dead.

Well, I wasn’t even considering them. That’s a particularly vulnerable group, but I was referring to uncompromised people for whom the vaccine is not effective, or for whom immunity has waned.

A lot of people here are claiming something “like this is a problem that only affects these idiots”. Sadly, that’s not the case. A number of these vaccines are only roughly 80% effective. The efficacy of these lies in herd immunity, where the 20% of people who did get the vaccine, but are not protected, will never encounter the disease because the other 80% can’t get it to spread it to them.

Let’s say you need 70% of people to be protected to maintain herd immunity. Then just 10% of the population needs to be idiots, and the disease spreads to the 30% that isn’t protected. Of that 30%, 20 points are people who were not idiots and got vaccinated, but unfortunately are not protected. The idiots will get sick, but twice as many not-idiots will get sick too. Unfortunately, for some of these diseases, the idiots will be hurting many more people than themselves.

The affected people are not necessarily immunocompromised. For example, after two doses of the mumps vaccine, 88% of people are immune. Immunity decreases with time, so the proportion that’s immune is lower than that. Let’s guess at 80%. You, the person reading this, can be a normal healthy person who got the mumps vaccine, and you have a 1 in 5 chance that you’re not immune. Those are some pretty big odds.

People are giving some advice but it doesn’t seem appropriate for an absolute newbie. Here’s what I’d say. Absolutely do not run telnet. Because it’s so insecure and everyone knows that, it’s usually not on by default, and you would have had to start it yourself somehow. It’s unlikely that you did that, but you can check to see.

If you’re new, you very likely don’t need an SSH server running. Unless you’re logging into that computer remotely, you don’t need it. It’s probably not running, but it’s conceivable that it could run by default. Check to see and disable it if you don’t need remote login.

If you do need remote login, use SSH and use a very good password. Ideally, you’d need to leave newbie territory and use public-private keys instead of a password. It’s also not a bad idea to use a nonstandard port, instead of 22. That doesn’t beef security much, but many scanners are going to look for 22 and nothing else.
