During the communist regime in Romania there was a ban on abortion and the state encouraged people to have lots of kids (sound familiar?). This lead to A LOT of kids in orphanages and not enough resources to properly care for them. Conditions were atrocious, to say the least.

But, that lead to a lot of research data by following the lives of kids who got adopted from those orphanages. It was determined that 4 month old was the cut-off point from where kids can still recover from traumatic experiences. Kids adopted younger than that did fine, but kids adopted after that age were affected for the rest of their lives. The fact that they didn’t actually remember things consciously did not matter.

But B is true

But quickly banging out a concept, to me, is the big win for python.

For me the best language for quickly banging out a concept has always been the one I’m most familiar with at the moment.

In theory someone could agree that trans women are women and trans men are men, but at the same time be against the idea of transitioning. Not sure why, but it’s not impossible.

I guess it’s the same as someone not believing that other races are inferior or otherwise different in any way other than appearance and still be racist.

I never owned a 486 either. My first upgrade after the 286 was a Pentium.

Same in my company. Acknowledging that you’ve seen the message and are looking into it.

They don’t care. Obama deported more people than Trump. Trump cannot have that. At this point it’s just a matter of beating that number for him. If people intentionally come to the country just to pad that number for him, it’s a win in his book.

I personally find the effects from the original trilogy easier to still watch today than the effects in the prequels.

We’ve been engaged for a while

Doesn’t engaged mean that you proposed and she said yes? Isn’t that when you give the ring? (I don’t really know, engagement rings are not a thing in my culture, but that’s what I saw in American movies)

Episode 4x23 “The Host”

Never had a console growing up. PC all the way. Started with a ZX Spectrum clone, then a 286, then a Pentium 100, and so on. I got my first consoles as an adult, first the Xbox One, which I never really played anything other than Just Dance on, then a Switch, which I couldn’t really get into either and ended up playing more on Ryujinx than on the actual switch. Bought an old 3DS at one point and its also just sitting in a drawer. Guess I’m too much of a PC gamer to get into consoles.

Never understood why, but it’s called “thick milk” in mine.

And “hanger”

My cat has zero reaction to catnip anyway, so this comic wouldn’t even apply to him. But he does love to play and if we don’t play with him, he’ll find his own play. Find some small paper or plastic thing somewhere and swat them away then chase them. Or pick it up in his mouth and fling it up to then catch in mid flight. Lately we took out one of his older cat toys (a ribbon on a stick basically) and it’s his new favorite toy. He carries it around with him everywhere he goes, including up and down the stairs. And even though he’s over 13 years old, he’s more playful than he was as a kitten.

Like all Romance languages, number “one” has different masculine and feminine forms, depending on what you’re counting. Unlike other Romance languages, number “two” is also gendered.

Have they stopped airing Zeffirelli’s one on TV? I remember it was always on the schedule during Easter.

Also worth reading the books he co-wrote with Stephen Baxter.

The first book is ok, but the rest of the series is pretty meh. Still bought and read them all as a Pratchett fan, but I wouldn’t recommend them to others. If you want to expand past the Discworld series, Good Omens is a much better recommendation. Also Nation is a really good book too.

Which is what that Microsoft employee protested against and got fired for.

Prompt engineering is not easy. Getting something as good as a real artist’s work is very hard, especially if you’re not an artist. Of course actual art is going to win every time.
