@lowqualityfacts Crewmembers in the old #Traveller #ttrpg did carry blades because firing a gun might lead to a hull breach ... and to justify piratical adventure.

In a freakish bit of irony, my sabbatical replacement is going to Burning Man.

You're overestimating the size of my bathroom.

Cheerful science facts about the mastodon's relative, the elephant.

@JensHannemann @freemo Okay, but then how does the && work? Is it interpreting the 0 as true?

@JensHannemann That's why I'm confused. If you run

foo && bar

and foo returns 0 (because it succeeded), won't the shell essentially say, "Welp, the first part of this expression is false, so no point in running the second part!"?

@JensHannemann Update: after restarting the snap store, it's happy! Thanks!

@JensHannemann That happily ran, but the snap store and the notifications under the clock both think I still have updates.

I assume the &&s in your command are short-circuited so the later parts run only if the first parts ... succeed? My only confusion here is that I would expect a process to return 0 (false) if it succeeded.
