If you’re still wearing a mask, washing your hands, and staying away from people, please share this because sometimes people try to make me feel like I’m overreacting.

Johnson says he's "moved on" after the Cummings affair. Retweet if you have not.

In my experience there's very little that already-busy customer service reps can do when faced with the sort of socially deaf person who parks in an EV space. Tesco employees are always super-nice and do their best, but wilful ignorance in drivers is hard to correct :(
Some cheeky BMW oik ICEing an EV charge space at Gorton @Tesco in Manchester. This kind of thing irritates me immensely. **AND** they were parked really badly (diagonally in the space) /cc @YPLAC

A report on the cause of the outage and what we're doing to prevent it from happening again is available on our issue tracker: github.com/rust-lang/rustup/…

We're aware of issues downloading the nightly toolchain using rustup, and we're working on a fix.

Why not simply suggest he uses a blacklight tube as a dildo while necking bleach? With a bit of luck he'll do it.

&str and &[T] are Copy, but if you're into cloning then you probably want owned content not borrowed content. Owned strings are String not &str, and owned slices are Vec<T> not &[T] If you have a &str or &[T] and you want an owned version then the ToOwned trait is your friend.

Yeah, IME it's always better to keep paying, just a small amount, until the overpayment is resolved.

I've never had to use our 3rd-level in anger, but my plan is to restore (rsync) to the 2nd-level and restore (borg) from there if ever needed.
Replying to @jmtd
AFAICT (we borg quite a bit) this is because they make no guarantees as to how much of the repo they touch during a backup, and rsyncing during such an event might result in a broken 3rd strand. So long as you're careful to not hit that, you should be fine.

Here's the replacement. Please say hello to the Ludicrous Milk float. He is blue and goes zoomzoom.
