  • The irony

  • That's hilarious. I do hope it gets evaluated at run time. That way you could have a program that works most of the time but if some rare circumstance caused it to execute commands in a sequence where the correct level of politeness was not maintained it would get the hump and crash

  • Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she's 'disappointed' Trump is considering a pardon for men who plotted to kidnap her

  • And then one day, AIPAC reaches into the wallet and its empty.

    Considering the huge pipeline of money that flows from the US taxpayers to Israel to AIPAC to the US politicians who keep the money flowing (with a big side channel to US weapons manufacturers and everyone with a slice of that), I'm not going to be holding my breath for that to happen. AIPAC won't run out of money before the USA runs out of money.

  • For me I found casual or occasional smoking could too easily become "just one more". I hated the fact that it had a grip over me but I needed a more definitive reason to quit. What worked for me was when my sister told me she was going to have a baby. I didn't want that kid to have smoking adults in her life. Which meant I had to quit, and hopefully that would help my sister to quit as well. I don't know if my actions made any difference but she did quit. Doing it for a kid was a powerful motivator for me. When she gave me the news, I put down the phone, tossed my remaining cigarettes in the trash and left it at that. Not even one last one. I knew I had the motivation I was waiting for and that was the end of it.

    I guess everybody has their own way that works for them and you just need to find what that is.

  • It’s not even totally severed, this dude could make a full recovery if they can keep him from going into shock and dying later.

    You're forgetting that there is a large dog in the scene, who has just been presented a piece of fresh meat.

  • Plus the additional information can be useful. If someone says "I'll whatsapp you the details" you might respond with: "No I don't have internet connection, just SMS me instead" or "I don't use whatsapp, how about signal". At the very least you know where to look for the message

    Yep, that right there is the problem

  • I agree that it's on a whole other level, and it poses challenging questions as to how we might live healthily with AI, to get it to do what we don't benefit from doing, while we continue to do what matters to us. To make matters worse, this is happening in a time of extensive dumbing down and out of control capitalism, where a lot of the forces at play are not interested in serving the best interests of humanity. As individuals it's up to us to find the best way to live with these pressures, and engage with this technology on our own terms.

  • End of 10 — Windows 10 is reaching the end of its support. Time to make the switch to Linux.

    Jump

  • My PC had been running like shit for a while and I was already weighing up options for replacing it, when I got the popup message from MS about Windows 10 expiring, and how my only option was to dump the PC. So I installed Linux out of pure spite. Runs like a dream now. Thanks Microsoft!

  • Oh great, thanks for that suggestion. 6 months from now when airlines bring out the "no seat just a rope" economy option, we'll know who to blame.
