Shit got weird with the “hanging chads” but we moved on fairly well.
That's an understatement! People think that Jan 6 was the only coup attempt in the United States since the Business Plot in 1933, but nope: not only should the Brooks Brothers riot count as a coup attempt, it was a successful one!
Pro tip: the arguments to main() don't have to be named argc and argv.
Also, you forgot to #define an alias for atoi, and number, n, and i could've been named something more on fleek.
It keeps track of which files you've played (e.g. to automatically pick the next episode in a series), it automatically downloads metadata and cover art so you have a nice browsing interface, it manages multiple profiles so that e.g. you can limit your kids' access to only G and TV-Y or filter out genres a user doesn't like, it lets you set parental controls to limit the amount of time watched in a day (or disable it at certain times of day), etc.
Now that I think about it, I don’t think acetaminophen has been effective in ever curing my headaches even back when I was prescribed liver damage amounts.
Sleep apparently > painkillers
I wouldn't necessarily generalize; even if acetaminophen doesn't work, other painkillers like aspirin or naproxen sodium might. (Personally, I take naproxen sodium and only naproxen sodium when I have a headache.)
My title was intentionally flipant.
No, your title was rude and condescending. "Flippant" is a different thing.
Serving video is expensive.
Only for copyright control freaks unwilling to use bittorrent-style multicast distribution. That's a "them" problem, not an "us" problem.
In reaction to this news from YouTube, I signed up for Premium. $12/mo for my main source of content? Easy decision.
Congratulations on being a consumer removed, I guess?
(The oniony part is the cell not having a prisoner in it.)
We are the lobbyists. For example, my city is currently doing this, so it's up to people like me to show up at the meetings and demand changes like that. You can do the same in your city or county by talking to your local political rep, even when they aren't doing a wholesale rewrite like they are here.
LOL, maybe in a competent school system. Meanwhile, in my kids' school system even things like signing up to pay for school lunches is outsourced to some shitty third-party service with an outrageous ToS that includes a binding arbitration clause with said arbitration being conducted in Louisiana (a different state hundreds of miles away).
Maximums aren't necessarily the problem, since developers are incentivized by market forces not to build more parking than necessary.
The problem is parking minimums, which are based on numbers pulled out of somebody's ass 80 years ago and (to the extent they correlated with anything at all) tend to be closer to the maximum that could ever conceivably be needed (think "Black Friday at a shopping center") more than anything else!
Electric cars are still cars, and therefore do fuck-all to fix the real problem of excessive use of land for parking lots, low-density zoning, and lack of walkability.
The only way to have healthy and sustainable (ecologically, financially, or otherwise) communities is to fix the zoning code so that folks don't need to drive in the first place.
Trust me, you don't want to be trying to maintain legacy Jython code at this point, let alone use it for anything new. All the "normal" Python infrastructure like Pip etc. has moved on and broken compatibility, so you'd have to find and maintain locally the last working compatible version of every single package you use. I suppose you could use Java libraries, but the impedance mismatch trying to use LBYL explicitly typed stuff in EAFP python is terrible. It's just a horrible mess.
is Jython still a thing?
No. (Source: I had to try to keep its zombie corpse shuffling along at my last job.)
That's fair. My frustration about the truck circlejerking has been building for a while, and I was venting.
Yes, it is funny that folks here apparently just want to circlejerk scapegoating big trucks while downvoting any actual urbanist who dares to point out that they're focusing on the wrong problem.
The charges range... to racketeering, a charge usually reserved for organized crime.
It's cute how the writer doesn't realize it's continuing to be reserved for organized crime.
No, it probably wouldn't have happened in the first place, because the driver of a sensibly-sized car can see things that are less than fifty fucking feet ahead of the dash.
[X] doubt
If big trucks were banned, muderous MAGA psychopaths would just mow down cyclists using Dodge Chargers or whatever instead.
they are materially worse than other consumer vehicles
Not in the way that actually matters, which is their effect on low-density zoning and minimum parking requirements. A parking space is a parking space is a parking space — they're all (roughly) the same size!
US, mid thirties, and I not only drive a manual transmission, I go out of my way to insist upon it. For example, I own a truck and an SUV made in the '90s because it's difficult to find newer ones without an automatic.
