How long do you suppose it will matter whether or not you were born here?

extglob seems to be on by default on my system (Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS).

I still don't understand what the difference is supposed to be between
*/*.txt and **/*.txt

Here are my "glob" shopt settings:
dotglob off
extglob on
failglob off
globstar off
nocaseglob off
nullglob off

@Laukidh @b0rk

I tried **/*.txt and got the same result as my usual */*.txt. Using bash, but I've always used */*.txt with previous shells such as sh and csh.

If Musk's stooges were able to lock out the accounts of legitimate employees, that proves the stooges' access to the system was more than merely "read only".

LA fire coverage: idiot camera operators focus on speaker podium but cut off half of the sign language interpreter. Seen on multiple television channels.

“Musk could be the first [U.S.] oligarch,” Kasparov said. “Having the largest private contractor of the U.S. government potentially being in the position of supervising the entire U.S. budget? I mean, just think about it. If this is not classical oligarchy, what is it?”

“Oligarchy is not about the amount of money. Oligarchy is about blurring the line, erasing the line, between business and government.”

The MAGA mob shouts for their dream
Of whites über alles supreme
With Trump as their leader
The chief bottom-feeder
Ruling a fascist regime

Matt Gaetz brought his fatal attraction
Cross-state for a piece of his action
She was just seventeen
And you know what I mean
Now he's desperate for any distraction

His camera set for the scenes
Matt Gingerly pulls off her jeans
But nought will arise
'Till he closes his eyes
Imagining back in her teens

Carl Sagan was a user and advocate of marijuana. Under the pseudonym "Mr. X", he contributed an essay about smoking cannabis to the 1971 book Marihuana Reconsidered. The essay explained that marijuana use had helped to inspire some of Sagan's works and enhance sensual and intellectual experiences.

Calls for "civility" most often come from supporters of the status quo.
