it’s hard work but someone has to do it

from a topological perspective, it’s pretty uncontroversial to say that the earth is indeed a hotdog.

Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.

this is a very interesting sentence to find in a post that outlines the ways in which the opinion page will be losing some of its editorial freedom.

but i don’t want to print my screen, i just want a picture of it.

Despite polygraphs’ unreliability, DHS insists they are necessary for national security.

in keeping with tradition, “national security” continues to mean “because i say so”.

damn, google+ wasn’t even mentioned

i will never forgive them for making the pointer type be T* instead of &T. most confusing thing ever.

don’t even get me started on C++ making T& the reference type and then making T&& be something other than the double reference type.

god it is going to take forever to rebuild the government, if we’re even given that opportunity. it’s going to be years of finding out just how terribly trump messed things up.

if OP is using gentoo then there is a very real chance they aren’t able to take screenshots yet.

the post is highlighting the hypocrisy in refrigerating milk while also being against milk pasteurization, since both of those practices have been done for around a hundred years and serve to make milk last longer and be safer to drink.

i feel like ubisoft has been having really cool ideas for games pretty consistently for the past decade. (in the sense that every game has a cool elevator pitch.) but then, every time, they ruin those ideas by making the most bland and generic open world game with the most boring stories, dialogue, and gameplay systems imaginable. it’s like the creativity behind their games is forbidden to develop past the elevator pitch.

this is particularly noticeable with the assassins creed games i think. super cool ideas for settings, time periods, and main characters, etc. but every time, they find a way to turn the games into the most boring and generic slop imaginable. there’s just so much wasted potential.

what’s interesting is that topologically, shirts only have 3 holes. so you’re entering one hole and then, shortly afterwards, leaving that hole in addition to the two other ones.

i’ve started to believe they know what they’re doing but have malicious intent

this is especially awesome when the first word has already been erroneously “corrected” and then manually fixed. and then apple decides to “correct” the first word again after you type the second word.

in heck you have to travel everywhere by car. and there’s always traffic.

just woke up and want to brush your teeth? that’s gonna be a 15 minute drive to the bathroom. watching tv and want to take a break to get a snack? 20 minute drive to the kitchen. want to go to the supermarket to pick up some more milk? 40 minute drive, round trip.

i agree but would like to add that it’s generally good practice to stay away from rockets
