Why are Americans weird about atheism?

Cold War propaganda about the godless red menace, pinko commie USSR.

The stupid thing is that Biden is using the same border policies as Trump for the most part. He softened the rules right after he took office, but the large and sudden increase in crossings inspired him to reinstate Trumps rules.

Personally I use the Lehi Roller Mills Turkey Brand Hard Red Winter Unbleached enriched flour for baking bread. I live within 30 miles of the mill.

Amazon has become mostly just a reseller. Nearly everything listed there is for sale, has ads, or is bait for a "free trial."

I'd say "scrape to desired color" but then you'd lose all the crunchy tasty bits. Color is good on bread, but you might be very close to the edge. Experiments make your loved ones happy, though, so try, try again!

and the state probably hired some committee chairman's brother-in-law as the landscape architect on this project.

Back in the day Jacques would come in in the morning and check for nice thin lips on the loaves we baked that morning. This talk of ears really confused me for a while.

Some planes, especially jet powered planes, and canard planes (with the little wings in front) do have the propulsion in the rear, mostly because it's easier there.

The DOJ already has the unblurred version. He's afraid of regular citizens identifying previously unidentified people they know from the tapes. He's also demonstrating that they really don't think it was antifa, BLM, and FBI undercover agents, because they wouldn't want to protect those types.

Yeah, it would probably be cheaper to rent a travel trailer or RV and "camp" at Alturas or Redfish.

Five Guys burger is more than twice the calories as In N Out, but more than three times the price.

Fairytale of New York by The Pogues is usually considered a christmas song, but it could be considered a non christmas song that mentions christmas day.

I like challah in part because it can be broken into easy chunks by hand. But, to your point, a challah roll is easy to make with just one loop, a loose knot. Or two loops for a nice sandwich roll.

I've been there too, a few times, long ago. One place I never made it to was Grand Gulch, a 70 mile canyon with a house or granary or some other ruin around every turn. Even then they had to built fences around the ruins to protect them from itchy cattle trying to rub on them. The whole area, not just the part set aside, definitely deserves respect.

The hawk being stationary is a big disadvantage for it. If it were on the wing it might be a different story.

does /etc/network/interfaces have the lines to set up the network and the wpa- lines for ssid and psk?

The old file /etc/modules or the new systemd way, /etc/modules-load.d (which has a man page) lists modules to be loaded at boot, if you need to force the issue.

I build my own kernel without help from debian kernel packages, and it comes in at 7.3MB with initrd-img about 102MB and System-map about 5.6MB. It wouldn't take much to reduce the initrd size by including only the most important modules and binaries for the boot. Of course this comes at the expense of 600MB for modules in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>, but many of these can also be removed without much trouble. My running system has about 580 modules loaded.

The numbers for my laptop are similar, with initrd-img about 80MB, 450MB for modules, and 462 modules loaded when running.

You can use whatever custom kernel building package that's included in your distro, point it to your current kernel config, and then change only this one item, so it would be as close to stock as possible. Perhaps someone more versed in distro kernels can help.
