There’s a good NPR podcast in the same vein as this: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/06/21/533840751/episode-779-shrimp-fight-club
It’s about congressman talking about government waste and targeting the sciences. It’s like, you don’t get the “cool” applications without the “weird” research. I’m doing a horrible job describing it, but I thought it was a good listen.
Moving to Canada from the UK when I was a kid was quite jarring because I couldn’t believe how many TV commercials you guys had.
Reminds me of the Wadsworth Constant: https://www.dictionary.com/e/pop-culture/the-wadsworth-constant/ from back in the day.
I remember somewhere they were saying you should remove your clothes (slowly piece by piece) with a polar bear. The bear will get distracted and start sniffing your clothes.
I think it was a QI episode and then David Mitchell said something like that Polar Bear being happier in the fact that the human would be better to eat this time because it didn’t have a wrapper.
No, those penguins have been taking advantage of US trade for too long!
Ah yes, notice which crimes are being noticed. Forget what the rich are doing with your country and freedoms. It’s the symptom that needs fixing rather than the cause.
Not gonna lie, I don’t know all I remember about it was that I grew up in London UK and it was yellow. It was like standard ice cream growing up but I have no idea what it is.
I feel a lot of people do a lot to justify stupid behaviour. “Saving is too hard” or “exercise is too hard”. There’s legit reasons to not be able to save, or exercise or being able to vote 🤨.
However there’s a lot of bullshit that people were spouting. It’s either a coordinated campaign or just dumb shit. What annoys me is everyone piling on Joe and then they did what people wanted and swapped to Kamala and they’re still upset that the Dems “don’t listen”. Whatever, they’re all full of it.
I fucking hate the Democrats but you have to be completely psycho to justify not-voting for them.
To be clear, I’m Canadian and I’m directly impacted by this now. So fuck all of those people.
Pfft, only losers have landlords. I’m forty and I’m living with my parents!
Wait, are they my landlords?
Well over a decade ago I remember a coworker would just go through the codebase and add his own coding style.
Instead of if (predicate) {
He would do if ( predicate )
I would always ask why he did it and he said, “well we don’t have any coding standards so I’m going to do it” … I replied, “there’s things like unwritten rules and sticking to whatever’s in the codebase makes it easy”. I told the seniors and they chose not to do anything (everyone just merged into trunk) and they just left him for a while.
Then he turned rewrote built-in logical functions in code like this: if (predicate || predicate) {
Into code like this: if ( or( predicate, predicate ) ) {
This was C# and there was no Prettier back then.
Also, he would private every constructor and then create a static factory method.
Eventually the seniors told him to knock it off. All I said was that I initially tried telling them weeks ahead of time and now we got a mess on our hands.
lol, that could be apart of that meme:
you care so little that you made a meme about it
I care so little that I don’t even know what you are talking about
We are not the same.
Stupid question, what’s wrong with organic?
Meh, screw Assange. Don’t want his or his visitors rights violated though. But sincerely, fuck this Russian asset.
