systemctl, journalctl breaking bad

Since systemctl and journalctl are bad by breaking scrolling by default (using a pager).

Do this as root to become sane again:
echo SYSTEMD_PAGER= >>/etc/environment

Log out and back in.

My comment on the video "The Quantum Experiment that Broke Reality"

My comment on the video "The Quantum Experiment that Broke Reality", belong on here as well.
- It is about the double slit experiment.

You might be able to predict the "landing point" if you knew the state of the peaks in the "waving" screen, the slits and the buckyballs- how they waved (could "look" something like water in near zero gravity). ..And you might be able to "set" the states using oscillating magnetic fields.

What's the matter with particle-waves?

If waves did turn into particles some of the time, a Faraday cage could not block them out.

makemkv wrapper with auto updater

Installs to home folder, creates usr folder under $HOME/.
Does not require root.
Requires xclip to dump latest beta key to "selection" (middle click "clipboard").
Launches makemkv if build succeeded or if already at latest version.
