Use a different restroom if you don't like having a member of the opposite sex hearing you fart while leaving a load.

Quote from: WikipediaIn Unix-like computer operating systems, a pipeline is a mechanism for inter-process communication using message passing. A pipeline is a set of processes chained together by their standard streams, so that the output text of each process (stdout) is passed directly as input (stdin) to the next one. The second process is started as the first process is still executing, and they are executed concurrently.

[...]

All widely used Unix shells have a special syntax construct for the creation of pipelines. In all usage one writes the commands in sequence, separated by the ASCII vertical bar character | (which, for this reason, is often called "pipe character").

It's a 1950's / 1960's TV show.  Boys and girls are required to be in separate beds even if sleeping in the same bedroom.

I don't know, but the state of boredom has the least remarkable section of interstate highway.

That's got to be my state, West Virginia. There are some really bad parts in the Kanawha Valley.

You've glanced briefly at a screenshot of a screenshot of a Google Maps Street View image of what you hope is that route.

You've tightened up your muscles so you can use the route to the next rest area or truck stop.

Entire length
Both directions
All historical alignments
All lanes
All interchange ramps
All rest stops
Get out and tap every sign
Must be done with same vehicle
You are behind the wheel

It means you pick up the road and relocate it to a certain river valley in far Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee. If it's not possible to do that, you hire a priest to collect some water from that river, bless it, and then sprinkle the road with it.

It means everything.  You haven't truly enjoyed a route unless you've clinched it.  You aren't a real roadgeek unless you clinch as many routes as possible.  Your Travel Mapping stats are the measure of your worth.  Without clinches you are nothing.
