    Just googled it - it looks like Pepsi is available in Cuba no problem, though. Both brands enter Cuba via Mexico anyway.

    True all of that, but also Coca-Cola in not available in Cuba (okey, one can find it in the black markets, but still). Cuba Libre is Coca-Cola + Rum (choose your poison of preference) + ice + lime, since at least 1902, and who forbid what for...

    I do see information on the Internet that tipping is just not a thing in Japan. When in US, however, it kind of depends on whether the dining experience merits a standard tip of 15% or even more. I generally tip if I don't experience a problem...

    AFAIK you set it in the /etc/make.conf for direct build in the OS, or in your podriere /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf. That should (please, someone correct me if I'm wrong) override PYTHON_DEFAULT?= 3.11 from bsd.default-versions.mk

    I tip what is customary and not what social media will have you believe. I tip according to what the NY Times used to say though they have caved a bit in recent years. Great service 20%. OK service gets 15%. I don't hate you but I want to send a...

    No need for grepping through everything (side note: ‑count flag). python has its own (virtual) ports category (virtual = no directory in /usr/ports). Considering a secondary category, too, pkg search -S origin python lists some 4700 packages.

    As far as I know, FreeBSD doesn't honor the persist option of doas, meaning you have to type the password every time. Alpine Linux does accept the persist keyword, which I find interesting. Opendoas doesn't seem to honor it either.

    LibreOffice doesn't have stupid overly polarized memes. The word "Libre" isn't the problem. Sure, Libre could imply Che Guevara, but LibreOffice didn't state that. Che isn't nearly as highly polarized as what's going on with this. Yeah, but that...
