Or having to continue to work while their dead co-workers are laying nearby under a blanket. Yikes.

I wish american english had a simple word for someone from the US. In Spanish they have estadounidense. I would prefer to call anyone from Alaska to Ushuaia an American and call people from the US a different word.

The common English word the country is "America". The continents are "The Americas" or separately as "North America" and "South America". The word for a person from the US is "American".

You might be interested to know that アメリカ (the romanization of America) is also how the country is referred to in Japanese. There are many other languages that followed English's use of America as the common name for the United States of America.

A notable exception, and where much of the disagreement comes from is Spanish. I generally try to follow the convention of the language I'm speaking and would never try to push the English-language conventions onto Spanish or vice versa.

"Usania" and "Usanians" - seems fitting...

U sane, bro?

Just mildly annoyed with almost annything comming from "THEUSA"

for a while, Yankee worked

The growing movement of neo-confederates and white nationalists and WW2 revisionists probably don't like being called yankees

Yankee was created as a highly dehumanizing and derisive slur for Americans.

It came and went from that for a loooong time though. They were still calling us Yankees in Europe well into the 50s.

As I see it he is not the one exposing clients to risk. He is frustrated that no one is fixing it. The company that left themselves open like this are the ones that are exposing their clients.

If this person is doing his best to do the right thing, there are probably other people who know about this vulnerability and are using it without telling anyone.

It took me a minute to understand the original post because the verb sanction means both itself and basically the opposite of itself. It would be better to say "any territory that the US has levied sanctions against". I thought LetsEncrypt had banned its usage in the US! The word for words like sanction is contronym.

This is ironic considering Netflix used to be all about sending people DVDs.

The highway between Tucson and Nogales, Arizona, I-19, is the only highway in the country that has signage only in kilometers. It has been that way since 1980. It was a pilot project for the Metric Conversion Act. The highway is 102 kilometers long (63 miles).

My first computer!

My biggest terminal frustration would be lack of access to Terminal. I have loved terminal windows since about 1981 or so. I was a big DOS fan and would only use Windows up until the Mac switched to OS X. I switched and never looked back.

Every day I use zsh on my Mac and bash on all the servers I use (almost all are Ubuntu).

My biggest peeve is the difficulty with formatting output in an elegant way when writing shell scripts. I have wrangled it for the most part, but all the solutions that I have found seem a bit janky.

A bit chilly.
