Yeah, therapists have noted a sharp upward trend of people dealing with politically driven grief. Basically, people separating from their family members due to political differences. And it’s almost universally from liberal people cutting off their Trump-crazed parents.
There is also the hilariously misguided belief that good coders do not produce bugs so there’s no need for debugging.
Yeah, fuck this specifically. I’d rather have a good troubleshooter. I work in live events; I don’t care if an audio technician can run a concert and have it sounding wonderful under ideal conditions. I care if they can salvage a concert after the entire fucking rig stops working 5 minutes before the show starts. I judge techs almost solely on their ability to troubleshoot.
Anyone can run a system that is already built, but a truly good technician can identify where a problem is and work to fix it. I’ve seen too many “good” technicians freeze up and panic at the first sign of trouble, which really just tells me they’re not as good as they say. When you have a show starting in 10 minutes and you have no audio, you can’t waste time with panic.
Yeah, and you can dupe items in RuneScape by dropping them and pressing Alt+F4. Don’t worry, I’ll stand way over here to prove I’m not trying to steal it. If I try to pick up the item you’ll see me move, and you can just pick it up first.
No. Simply pointing out that urging users to audit the code is a lost cause; The vast majority of users won’t even know how to read the code, much less how to check for exploits or backdoors.
Each mod includes a caution to review its source code on GitHub, ensuring users can make informed decisions before installing any customizations.
About as useful as an “I agree to the terms and conditions” checkbox tbh. Open source code suffers horribly from misplaced community trust. The most deadly type of gathering for children is a pool party surrounded by adults. Because if everyone is watching the kids to make sure they don’t drown, nobody is watching the kids. Every single person independently goes “I don’t need to worry about it, cuz someone else will notice.” If everyone is auditing the code, nobody is auditing the code.
It’s a police protection bill. Sanders was already under secret service protection by that point, and the secret service was who coordinated all of his security. So Sanders’ campaign manager basically told the city to bill the secret service instead of Sanders. Because again, the secret service was who requested the additional officers.
I’m a venue manager. If Trump’s team wanted to organize a rally at my venue, (and I was forced to allow it), I would require 100% payment in full before they were allowed in the building.
In fact, my building collects a refundable cleaning/damage deposit, and I would intentionally over-estimate everything about the event; We estimate the event costs and require clients to pay up front. Then any overages can be claimed from that deposit, or invoiced after the event. Equipment costs, labor needs, room rental times, catering commission, merch commission, etc…
I would intentionally over-estimate all of that. So when they inevitably have some overages, (like maybe they use more mics than expected, or maybe they show up two hours early), those are already paid for in their initial payment. Then I’d just return any unused overages with the deposit, which is SOP. Because I know that if I had unbudgeted overages and tried to invoice after the fact, I’d never see a single cent.
Target is notorious for this. Loss Prevention has literal evidence binders for repeat offenders. They’ll tally up everything you’ve stolen, and then sit on it and continue tallying until you have stolen enough to be charged with a felony. Once they have a dollar over their local felony amount, they’ll send their LP team in to pull you aside and you get arrested for felony grand theft.
It’s terrifying to me how completely the alleged Church has accepted him.
FWIW, that’s one of the main checkboxes for the Antichrist. If he had no followers and got rejected, the Antichrist wouldn’t be a threat.
That’s exactly what it was. The title only gave points for non-Olympic events. And since the vast majority of events with the best breakers were focused on qualifying for the Olympics, all of those points from the best breakers got excluded. Basically, she’s the only breaker in her country who won a non-Olympic event (because all the people better than her were busy trying to qualify for the Olympics,) so it went to her by default.
She literally scored all 0’s at the Olympics. I’d say she fell flat on her face, but even that would’ve probably earned more points than her performance. It was a sort of Billy Madison moment.
The controversy was all because she basically voted herself into the competition; No governing body existed for Australia (where she was from) so she created the organization to decide who got to go to the Olympics. They held tryouts, and she (since she made the organization and was in charge of the tryouts) made a point of excluding anyone who was better than her.
She basically only made it to the Olympics because of blatant nepotism, and then made a fool of herself. Her stated reason was that she saw who she was up against, realized she didn’t have a chance in a straight skill-based competition, and decided to do something more “experimental” instead. Basically, she said she was hoping to cinch it with creativity instead of skill. In reality it was just cringe, and she looked like an idiot.
So her getting #1 is because she fell into a weird sort of loophole; The rank only considers scores for competitions that aren’t Olympic. And nearly all of the 2024 competitions were focused on qualifying for the Olympics. She only attended one non-Olympic competition, but she won it because all of the best breakers were focused on the Olympics. So since she won that competition, she was handed the title of #1.
The saddest part is that it’s not even an “or” statement. Police don’t even care if you’re a bootlicker. When push comes to shove, they’ll gladly stomp on the bootlickers too.
I still have the entirety of the “Kairi’s inside me?” cutscene memorized, because I was forced to watch it so many times as a child.
Yeah homeslice was apparently speedrunning this shit.
Just a dude who wants to love his neighbor.
And the big issue seems to be that the two sides have drastically different definitions of the word “love”. There was a study a while ago, which found that conservatives are more likely to have liberal friends, while liberals are less likely to have conservative friends. It sounds odd on the surface… But the reality is that if a liberal hangs out with conservatives long enough to become friends, those conservatives will eventually get comfortable. Comfortable enough to start using hard slurs, or they will call the liberal “one of the good ones” as if it’s a compliment.
It’s no wonder that liberals are less likely to report having conservative friends. Liberals have tried, and have been burned by all of the conservatives that they got close to. Meanwhile, the most offensive thing a liberal does around conservatives is just… Exist? Relatively speaking, it’s easy for a conservative to keep liberals around, because the liberal isn’t constantly trying to undermine the conservative’s right to personhood. Whether or not you can own guns isn’t an immediate existential threat to a conservative.
Shit you get to print yours? Look at moneybags over here. I have to copy the broad strokes down by hand, and walk back and forth between my console and the family computer on the opposite side of the house T.T
Because conservatives control the house, which is the first step in impeachment. Even if the speaker allows it to come to a vote (he won’t) they will just vote it down.
I’ll confirm it for you: It’s so wet it sounds like a stomach gurgle. But for the mic to have picked it up, it had to have been loud enough to carry all the way to the mic.
There’s also a good chance that Biden heard it. You can see him look confused for a split second afterwards, then the realization hits him and he shakes his head.
Honestly? I hope he keeps running, then has a massive public dementia breakdown like a week before the election. I think Kamala can beat Trump, so keep him in the race until it’s too late for repubs to shoehorn anyone else in.
Is it oxidation? I thought it was a voltage control issue, where they randomly sent too much power to components and burned them out. And over time, those burnt out components and errors would compound and your CPU would essentially get Alzheimer’s.
