Apologies for the dodgy apostrophes in the code below – I’m working on it! Since playing with this a bit I ran into a problem with strange ASCII characters in my strings which was causing it to fail – The trick was to find out what the character was (in my case it was a ‘reco...
Thus, though the historical record is unclear as to the exact origin of the term “useful idiots,” Lenin is said to have deemed them as such, whether or not he actually used the phrase. *** At least initially, American communists only saw the righteousness of the Bolshevik cause. Equality!

I was dropping down on tty1 and attempting the same, no dice as root/superuser getting the barest x-term. So first I tried asking couple of friends who live nearby me. Unfortunately, both are MS-Windows users and both use what are called as ‘company-owned laptops’. Surfing on those...
The one we have at home is an Instant pot and should work for you. When you have no time to cook, just dump in some ribs, water, pasta such as manicotti or girandole, and salt and after just 15 minutes will be ok then add in some broccoli after the power off. Good luck ...
