I had beans once then trumped. Is that what happened on a larger scale in the USA?

How do horses solve that problem?

Leaving aside whether or not “allah” is just Arab for “god” and not their God’s actual name, and assuming that by God you mean JHWH from the Bible, they definitely aren’t the same God. JHWH has a son (Jesus Christ) and Muslims are quite definitive about Allah NOT having a son.

That’s cos the kids posting this stuff aren’t smart enough to tell the difference. For them “boomer” is just a term for anyone older than themselves and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it starting being used for millennials.

Wow they really have installed a popup blocker in everything haven’t they!

That’s fair enough. It was only invented in 1742 so that’s barely enough time to start getting used to it.

Not if you have Firefox open. Three YouTube tabs and my 4GB Pi5 is swapping so hard it takes forever to move the mouse anywhere.

I was confused recently at a border post marked “Passport control”. I had it ready, but the guard asked for my driving licence. While I was fishing for that he breathalysed me, which came back clean so he said I could go - without having seen either my passport or driving licence.

But 95% of people that call support don’t know that stuff. And those things solve 95% of the problems that users have. And support staff have been told to go through the script or get fired. So just be nice to them, get to the end of Level1’s script AQAP then you’ll get someone that’s allowed to use their noggin, considerably more quickly than if you piss around.

Well I for one would be delighted to cross 35 years of software engineering with a maths hobby but I can hardly find anything.

The only place I did find declared that I didn’t have enough maths without even seeing me or saying what kind of maths I would need for the role. From the JD it didn’t sound too tricky: pathfinding for construction robots.

Yeah but a mushroom’s such a fungi to be with.

This works for both positive and negative numbers:

private static bool isEven(int number)
{
	bool result = true;

	while (number < 0)
	{
		number = number - 1;
		if (result == true)
			result = false;
		else
			result = true;
	}
	while (number > 0)
	{
		number = number - 1;
		if (result == true)
			result = false;
		else
			result = true;
	}
	return result;
}

Output:

isEven(4) = True
isEven(5) = False
isEven(-4) = True
isEven(-5) = False

They do work. It takes some practice to get them though. At first I used a pencil or something to focus on while I made the two dots merge together, stayed focussed on the pencil until my brain “saw” the image behind it, then it sort of locked in and I could take the pencil away. I’ve done so many of them now that I can just go crosseyed to bring the dots together, then look at the middle picture.

The 3D image works by tricking your brain into seeing a third image that isn’t really there. We’re used to constructing 3D images from two slightly different views; we do it all the time, so the two images are slightly different and when overlaid use the same mechanism to make you think it’s 3D.

Yes, but then where would we be without all those endless squabbles about X which are easily solved by pointing out that A::X != B::X?

On the contrary. A post with (currently) 45 upvotes states exactly “Thinking of putting up Palestine stuff in my windows just to dare them to come get me.”

Notably, it doesn’t say what you claim it says. You need to learn to read English.

Oh, OK. Please explain to me what it really says.

On the contrary. A post with (currently) 45 upvotes states exactly “Thinking of putting up Palestine stuff in my windows just to dare them to come get me.”

This is exactly what I mean. Putting up Palestine stuff is just fine, perfectly legal, and you cannot be arrested for it.

If she really wants to be daring she should put up Palestine Action stuff in her windows.

PA probably aren’t terrorists, just protesters who took it a bit too far, but the facts are: they broke into an airbase and damaged RAF jets by pouring paint into their engines. This will take those jets out of commission until the damage has been assessed; maybe the paint will just wash or burn off, but maybe they’ll need to be replaced, which is a cost that could run into millions because jet engines aren’t exactly cheap. So a case could be made that they are also terrorists, but it’s a bit of a stretch.

“rooting out opposition to the genocide” No, we’re not doing that. There’s plenty of opposition and it’s fine; we live in a democracy and people are free to support whoever they want to support (in this case: as long as it’s the Palestinians in general, not Hamas).

Because they broke into an airbase and damaged some RAF planes. That was the problem, not protesting about the war in Gaza, which is still legal.
