Please do not count on 22LR for any sort of self defense purposes. It’s a great round for shooting paper targets and small critters, but against a human it has the stopping power of a letter opener. Sure, it might stop someone if you hit just the right spot, or pain might shock someone inexperienced into pausing long enough for you to run, but you don’t really want to be counting on either of those in a life or death scenario.

This is covered in the technobabble of the show. The gate is one way to anything bigger than radio waves, so the camera would see nothing until enough of it had dematerialized for the rest to be sucked through.

Quick removal isn’t a big concern since the drive is read only. You might crash anything with an open file handle, but you don’t have to worry about data corruption.

You’re probably wanting [ -z "${VAR1}" -a -z "${VAR2}" ]. Note in bash that there are minor differences in how [ ] and [[ ]] tests are handled. You can pull up a handy cheat sheet of the operands on most distros by running man test, though you’ll need to read through the CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS section of man bash if you want to see the minor differences of the single vs double square bracket commands (mostly whether locale applies to string order, as well as whether operands are evaluated in numeric comparisons).

While I agree in general, that wouldn’t have helped in this case, and likely would have just made things worse. He couldn’t draw on the Karen for being a racist piece of trash, and his next interaction was with the police, whom he certainly couldn’t have drawn on. Then the cops would have trumped up the charges because he was armed, and he never would have seen the gun again after it disappeared into the evidence locker.

All legit. At the end of the day, both the commands that go through systemd and the direct cat something >/proc/… or cat something >/sys/… are all doing the same thing - telling the kernel to do some procedure.

There’s some settings stuff in /proc and /sys that you don’t want to tweak without knowing the effects, as they could break things in hard to fix ways, but for stuff like beeping or changing sleep states, the worst you’ll do is lock up your computer and need to reboot. And even that is rare unless the hardware really doesn’t like a particular sleep state.
