Old habits die hard

It’s fine, you only ever need to replace it like once a decade or so

“Clearly” is also subjective. What might be perfectly clear to me reading my own code may be really confusing to someone else, and vice versa. Especially if the person reading the code isn’t as familiar with the language as the person who wrote it, or if the code is using some syntactic sugar that isn’t super common, or plenty of other reasons.

I wish my brain worked half as well as guys like that.

Yes. And also comments :-)

We sometimes like to think of Canada as our nice, quiet, chill & reasonable neighbor here in the States. Occasionally the veil gets lifted like this and reminds us that you’re all dealing with the exact same shit as us. I’m still not sure if that makes me feel better that we’re not alone, or worse because all of this crap we’re dealing with is a growing global problem.

The problem is, a lot of states have closed primaries. So by registering independent, you throw away the one opportunity you would conceivably actually have to help shape the party’s future by having a say in who their nominees are.

Only if it ends with Abraham Lincoln coming back from the dead and mowing every single one of them down with an AR-15 and then ending with a line like “Party of Lincoln, my ass!”

Which would be great for an election, but once the Republicans are already in power, they’ll just continue to fall in line.

Do you honestly believe he’ll be out of the news cycle if he loses?

But the constitution forbids the US military from operating within the borders of the US! Surely that’ll stop him from ever being able to do this! Right? Right???

I ran into this when I was thinking about buying some Doc Martens recently. I know there have been other examples, that’s just the most recent I can remember.

Damn, I’ve been singing their praises for years…but I haven’t actually bought a new pair in ages

Yeah but it’s all going down from Oregon to California. That’s down on the map, which means it’s all downhill, so it should really be quite simple. (/s obviously)

If it’s the Borg as a whole, then shouldn’t it also be the entire Imperial Navy? Not just the Death Star, but Super Star Destroyers and the entire rest of their fleet?

It’s been their #1 play for decades

EDIT: And somehow it has continued to work for them

Also Nixon sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks.

I recently bought a new house and holy crap, what a difference. Even shorter people had to duck going up & down the stairs in my old basement. There is not a single place in my new house that I need to duck my head, and it’s glorious.

Do we know in this case whether or not the gun was even kept in a safe?
