False. If the flesh covering the skull has decayed there's a good chance the brain tissue has also decomposed or been eaten by insects.
Also it's called craniotomy or possibly osteotomy not an "incision".

- There is always some level of distrust of secretive organizations like the NSA/FBI/CIA/
- Usually it's the previous gen / obsolete tech filters out of them, because they do want people to protect themselves a bit. I'd almost guarantee they have better / more advanced tools they aren't sharing.

And there's your problem. You're echo
ing using double quotes which will interpret characters. Don't do that. That's a bug. cat
or cp
the file to the destination; printf
if the contents are all in that variable.

Here's what I'm reading:
startup-script
line 27 threw the error.
I'm reading this and interpreting that line 27 of that script is
sudo echo "# FYI quotes(") must be escaped with \ like \"
I am confused why there is no trailing double quote, the last 3 chars should be \""
so perhaps this is a bad assumption but the best I can do with the available information.
So the fix here is to change startup-script
line 27 so that you're not echo
ing things that might contain characters that might be interpreted by echo or your shell.
Now if startup-script
is provided by your distro, there may be a reason that it's using echo, but I will tell you now whatever dipshit reason they provide they're fucking wrong because EXHIBIT A:
# "
fucks the script and rule 0 of linux is "don't break userspace".
Everything else allows any printable char after the #
in a comment, that script is not special, comments are not to be interpreted by the program. That is a show-stopping bug in startup-script
and must be fixed.

i think the real error was that you started the echo with a double quote and ended with a single quote. had you properly wrapped it with single quotes it would have worked. even if you had escaped the double quote, there still would have been an error because you'd have a multi-line string with no ending "
(the 2nd double quote was properly escaped so that would not have terminated your string)
Also, you didn't escape your slashes.
Either it should have looked like this:
echo '# FYI quotes(") must be escaped with \ like \"'
or this:
echo "# FYI quotes(\") must be escaped with \\ like \\\""

uBlock is a content filter. Cookies are set when a server responds to a web (http/https) request. So if uBlock has a domain blocked, not only are any cookies blocked, but no requests make it to that domain (whatever.com) at all.
If a domain is not blocked by uBlock Origin's filters, then cookies are set per your browser's configuration. Firefox I believe blocks some 3rd party tracking cookies by default, but can be configured to block all third-party cookies as well, but this may break site functionality like single sign-on.

From the Intrusive Thoughts Wikipedia Page:
Many people experience the type of negative and uncomfortable thoughts that people with more intrusive thoughts experience, but most people can dismiss these thoughts.[7] For most people, intrusive thoughts are a "fleeting annoyance".[8] Psychologist Stanley Rachman presented a questionnaire to healthy college students and found that virtually all said they had these thoughts from time to time, including thoughts of sexual violence, sexual punishment, "unnatural" sex acts, painful sexual practices, blasphemous or obscene images, thoughts of harming elderly people or someone close to them, violence against animals or towards children, and impulsive or abusive outbursts or utterances.[9] Such thoughts are universal among humans, and have "almost certainly always been a part of the human condition".

I can't say for sure but it sounds like a Ponzi scheme. You get some investors. You lie on paper that they're making lots of money. If anybody wants to withdraw, you give them the money from other investors to make it look like anybody can withdraw whenever they want. But there isn't enough to cover all of the withdrawals because you've lied about the profits. Then you get more investors. And more investors. You promise if they keep their money in your investment a long time they will make way more than the initial withdrawers. They were silly to sell when everyone is still making so much money. As long as investors continue to add money to the pool you can pay off the few people who want to withdraw. At some point it becomes untenable to pay everyone off and continue to look legitimate and so you just withdraw all the money and run.

Here's the list of states and electoral college votes:
https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/allocation
Just don't think about the popular vote. It has no bearing on who wins the Presidency in the US.
You can argue that it should but just accept that under the current rules it does not.
As far as your question "If Kamala wins the popular vote, how much does she have to win by to flip the electoral college to her side?" the only answer is "it depends"
It depends because as amazingly stupid as this sounds, one vote for a candidate counts either more or less depending on which state it came from.
Example of California (most people) and Wyoming (least people)
California:
Electoral Votes: 55
Population: 39,500,000
Weight: 0.00000139
Wyoming:
Electoral Votes: 3
Population: 580,000
Weight: 0.00000517
A vote in Wyoming (0.00000517) affects the outcome of the electoral college much more than a vote in California (0.00000139).
Another way of looking at it is that one electoral college vote in California represents the will of a little over 718,000 residents, while in Wyoming it represents the will of a little over 193,000 people.
Things get even trickier when you factor in the fact that some states split the EC votes based on popular vote or district, and other states are a winner-take-all (whichever candidate takes the state takes all the EC votes.)
It's a giant complex mess and it cannot be easily related to the popular vote.

just under 50% of people voted in Ohio in the 2020 election.
Trump won by 8%.
If just 9% of the people who felt like you (what's the point of voting) had showed up to vote for Biden, that would have flipped the state.

I understand the concerns of privacy, but working in academia means that you give up some of the privacy.
Yes people will have your real name and they will know what college you work at and if some crazy person decides that they want to stalk you on campus because you're woke or part of the deep state turning the frogs gay with chemicals they'll be able to easily do that.
You're gonna have 100s of strangers in your classes during the year. You're going to tell them exactly when you're going to be in your office for office hours.
If you are unable to handle that I doubt academia is for you.
Academia is about furthering human knowledge especially a PhD. There are sacrifices involved; your privacy is probably one of them.

Part of being an academic is being available to discuss your publications. Your full name will not only be flying around the internet but recorded permanently in libraries and journals.
Science is about collaboration, and standing behind the work you do, publicly. You will find it extremely difficult or impossible to get your PhD without being known to the academic community.
I think you won't find many anonymous scientific papers held in high regard.

In the US, discussing salary with coworkers is protected speech. It helps people find out if they are being underpaid or unfairly discriminated against. I always share my salary information when asked and I think it's important to do so.
My salary is not indicative of my net worth. I could have a 7 figure salary and be drowning in debt, or make 75K and be doing fairly well because of responsible choices.
I dislike the stigma of discussing salaries, and believe that it's propagated by companies to dissuade workers from getting fair salaries.

You need to get your ISP to help troubleshoot the issue with your router. If the Steam Deck works fine on other networks that's a very strong sign that it's not the Deck that's the issue.
Most public libraries have WiFi or computers that you can use in a pinch, leverage those as much as possible. You are paying for those services via taxes, they are yours.

The issueI have with the "always unique" plan is that if they can determine your browser was associated with some set of unique IDs, then they can track you. Imagine a TOTP where the keys were leaked so the adversary can determine the entire set of possible codes.
If everyone's fingerprints always match each other's, then you have plausible deniability.

The idea with anti-fingerprinting is the idea that no matter who you are or what your setup is, the fingerprint is created, it matches many, many other browsers

If your fingerprint is unique, that means you can't be confused for someone else.
That is literally the opposite of anti-fingerprinting.
You want to look like 1000's of other people, so they can't prove it was you that visited a particular site and use that information against you.

So my first question is how can it be that my little mini J1900 Celeron (2 GHz) with 4 GB RAM cannot handle this bandwith?
- check ethtool for link speed:
sudo ethtool enp2s0 | egrep 'Speed|Duplex'
Your device name may be different fromenp2s0
. useip link
to see all devices. if it's not
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
then that's probably a bad sign.
- that is a 10 year old celeron processor. celeron were the budget (a.k.a. cheapest, slowest) class processor at the time. it's quite likely that it cannot keep up.
- If you still think it's not CPU directly, use iotop to see if you have I/O bottleneck.
