poweroff and reboot work as advertised for me, but I'm running headless homelab servers and a laptop with i3. Maybe DEs/GUI shutdown is more subtle?

Yeah, I run i3 and headless servers, so it's poweroff or reboot for me. Always works as advertised.

Except on the Linux systems I've used, when I ask it to shut down, it shuts down no matter what. Windows and macOS let programs stop the shutdown process indefinitely (when shutdown/reboot are invoked the usual way).

I think that's what the meme is trying to get at.

It sounds like a bulletin was indeed circulated, and it sounds like the WSJ is being pretty candid about the law enforcement response:

The WSJ is not going to have first hand access to the evidence, so they have to report (transparently!) what they're told by credible sources. In this case, it sounds like law enforcement

supposed to be credible

is not. It's a pretty tricky thing to report on.

Never said that at all. I've had some fantastic food in England.

Oh please. The US has many problems, and there are food deserts to be sure

but go to a first class US city and you'll find great food.

Good on CO. I'm in California and not eligible

I hope we do the same and/or the WA-OR-CA vaccine pact that's been mentioned elsewhere comes to the rescue.

Mainstream media is definitely noticing; never as much as hoped I'm sure, but people's actions are indeed seen.

The think the objection is that this is specifically targeted at women, and it's something that someone might be self conscious about.

"Free coffee to shortest/tallest/skinniest/fattest man" would be also be offensive IMHO, because it's singling out people for a trait for which they maybe don't want to be singled out.

Crude humor is great, if all parties are in on the joke; I believe the point that parent was making was that all parties are not necessarily in on the joke.

Atomicity (something happens in its entirety or not at all), consistency (database is always in a valid state

if the database has constraints, they will always be honored), isolation (transactions don't step on each other), durability (complete transaction is complete even if there's a power failure).

Not a database expert, my parenthetical explanations may need work.

I once took a Lyft and the push alert was, "Look for Jesus in a white Toyota Camry."
