Poor hinge you’ve got there, Mr Mathers.

The fact that no word rhymes with Orange is proof enough that the Houses of Orange were divided on the subject of the Spanish invasion. The Spanish queen was even once overheard by one of her horses saying, “My best friend is an orange.” Of course, that horse was named Glitterhoof - and was best known for throwing entire empires into envious fits of rage over whoever else may have possessed Glitterhoof. This could often lead to entire houses and branches of those houses being slaughtered in often dubious circumstances.
This violence led to a prince dying and passing his titles to his cousin, causing the Houses of Orange to call themselves Orange-Nassau. This is almost certainly a subtle message in support of the type of destruction that Glitterhoof was responsible for - albeit indirectly, but very intentionally. Or much worse, she likens herself to Glitterhoof of House Horse. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt that this is not the case - the alternative is unconscionable.

Wonder if this could be used as a way to synchronize time and what the caveats of that would be. Aside from detecting these signals reliably, couldn’t we have something like a relay setup alongside GPS where we could leverage LPT’s for keeping the most accurate time? Maybe that’s too much or what we already have in place is simply easier and more reliable.

The movie was alright, not too bad, not too good, and I could go either way in watching an extra hour when seeing it again.

Well, he did say he did it all for the nookie. Come on. I also believe he has a fascination with people sticking a cookie up their… yeah.

I’ll humor this, even though I’m tired of answering this same question. I’ll do you a favor and give you the short version, first: Inflation has nothing to do with how currency is distributed and everything to do with the supply of currency in circulation. Now that we’ve established the basic concept, let’s break some of it down. If there’s $100 in circulation, it doesn’t matter if one person has all of it, or 100 people have $1. The value of $1 is the same. If $1000 is in circulation, then $100 is worth less than if only $100 is in circulation, even if one person has $901 and everyone else has $1. Why is this so difficult to understand? Why do you believe that money is somehow worth more if its distribution is unequal? If people buy more stuff, that’s called a healthy economy. If people buy ‘too much milk and the prices go up’ then someone will sell milk for less to undercut the competition in a healthy economic system. If you can’t sell it for less, you innovate. If you can’t innovate, or sell for less, then you can’t compete and you lose. Everyone being able to afford more milk doesn’t cause $1 to be worth less. Of course, this example isn’t realistic anymore, but that’s due to capitalism failing – the underlying principals of the example still hold true.

Then… why… not just open the schools later in the day?

I always thought I was one of the few people that saw Eve as the libertarian dystopia that it is. I certainly thought I was the only one that held it up as a ready example of what libertarianism looks like when fully executed – now that I think about it, this must be a more popular idea than I realized. Complete with nullsec monopolies and everything. All this in a space that features no scarcity other than real-estate. The end game of libertarian ideals in the Eve example ends in monopoly and the accumulation of absurd amounts of power into the hands of few select individuals. What’s striking is how well run things are on the fleet level, only for the corporate leaders to often be wasteful, populist, of questionable moral fiber, and generally irresponsible – albeit not as a rule. They also have a penchant for casually destroying those that disagree with them. It stands as an excellent example.

On this note; given that it’s suspected that Earth has only a good ~800 million years or so left, that may not even be enough time for another sentient species to emerge with enough time to become technologically sufficient enough to … avert extinction – much less undo some of the damage that we have done. We have to grapple with the idea that if we fail as a species, we’ll be the only and last sentient species on Earth to have emerged. Or as I like to call it: Get filtered, nerd.

There actually is an array in any POSIX shell. You get one array per file/function. It just feels bad to use it. You can abuse ‘set – 1 2 3 4’ to act as a proper array. You can then use ‘for’ without ‘in’ to iterate over it.

for i; do echo $i; done.

Use shift <number> to pop items off.

If I really have to use something more complex, I’ll reach for mkfifo instead so I can guarantee the data can only be consumed once without manipulating entries.

Either use a straw or only fill one side? Is that cheating?

Great. I have plenty of money and hate contributing to society in any meaningful manner – I consume only. I’ll manage the crop pickers from my phone, though. When do you start?

The Buddhist then pulls a gun out from beneath his robes and points it at the hot dog vendor. The vendor exclaims, ‘I thought all Buddhists were peaceful!’ The monk then says, ‘Every monk carries with him his inner piece.’

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping a human face… forever.” - Some book or something.

I’m not sure anyone here works for the DNC. We’re not trying to get ourselves elected. People are absolutely allowed to criticize others for the intended consequences of their actions when they get exactly what’s expected. In this case, they’ve alienated themselves.

Not disagreeing. However, it still kind of feels like we’re trying to solve wolves to fix a human problem. You know?

You lost me in the last sentence. I think what you said rings true with an exception. I don’t believe that the people you’re referencing will bother with learning how to care again. It would be a tacit admission that it was willful ignorance.

Correct.

Pete Buttigieg worked for Mckinsey. Although it appears he’s tried to make good in addressing how his time was spent working there, that is a stench that is difficult to wash off. Bias Note: I’m not against Pete, but I’m definitely against Mckinsey.

This one has been easy for me lately: They spell ‘lose’ as ‘loose’.
