I supposed I expected swedes.

Drag is using a first person pronoun just like you might write "I".

Why does drag refer to drag's self in this way?

Also, drag's name is not Dragon Rider. Unless that drag was referring to drag's chosen name?

Imagine the level of chill you have to reach to notice a hornet in your car and just be like 'Oh hey buddy'.

Yeah, I've found myself wasting quite a lot of time thinking of the 'perfect regex' for task X only to realise that I could have avoided doing so by simply taking a different approach.

GTA Chinatown Wars probably got most of its promotion from the South Park episode where Cartman really wants it.

What do you mean? We just outsource the waste management to private companies who assure us they will dispose of it in a safe and secure manner. (This is legitimately what America does with nuclear waste, with limited oversight -- fuck you Regan -- and it is fucking bananas).

I know. I didn't say this was OOP, I said this was your brain when you OD on OOP. While we are not dealing with objects, I'd argue that the kind of approach that would lead one to needlessly overcompartmentalise code like this is the product of having a little too much OOP.

This is your brain when you OD on OOP.

This reminds me of a one of Zeno's Paradoxes of Motion. The following is from the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy:

Suppose a very fast runner—such as mythical Atalanta—needs to run for the bus. Clearly before she reaches the bus stop she must run half-way, as Aristotle says. There’s no problem there; supposing a constant motion it will take her 1/2 the time to run half-way there and 1/2 the time to run the rest of the way. Now she must also run half-way to the half-way point—i.e., a 1/4 of the total distance—before she reaches the half-way point, but again she is left with a finite number of finite lengths to run, and plenty of time to do it. And before she reaches 1/4 of the way she must reach 1/2 of 1/4=1/8 of the way; and before that a 1/16; and so on. There is no problem at any finite point in this series, but what if the halving is carried out infinitely many times? The resulting series contains no first distance to run, for any possible first distance could be divided in half, and hence would not be first after all. However it does contain a final distance, namely 1/2 of the way; and a penultimate distance, 1/4 of the way; and a third to last distance, 1/8 of the way; and so on. Thus the series of distances that Atalanta is required to run is: …, then 1/16 of the way, then 1/8 of the way, then 1/4 of the way, and finally 1/2 of the way (for now we are not suggesting that she stops at the end of each segment and then starts running at the beginning of the next—we are thinking of her continuous run being composed of such parts). And now there is a problem, for this description of her run has her travelling an infinite number of finite distances, which, Zeno would have us conclude, must take an infinite time, which is to say it is never completed. And since the argument does not depend on the distance or who or what the mover is, it follows that no finite distance can ever be traveled, which is to say that all motion is impossible. (Note that the paradox could easily be generated in the other direction so that Atalanta must first run half way, then half the remaining way, then half of that and so on, so that she must run the following endless sequence of fractions of the total distance: 1/2, then 1/4, then 1/8, then ….)

I can't remember where but I remember reading US agencies use tools and methods to disguise their hacks by leaving the 'fingerprints' of adversary state groups from places like Russia and NK. Not saying that's what happening here but I thought it was cool (and kinda scary).

Rewatched the Golden Years of the Simpsons recently and I think it's crazy that season 2 isn't included in that era. Season 2 Simpsons is fantastic.

Blasphemy!

This is intreresting. What is the connection between GS and BRICs? How does it help them sell equities?

Maybe they're candy eggs?

I should really cron my Borg script rather than waiting for a sinking anxiety to set it and doing backups at random intetvals

I just about to write this. If we could have a rule on this it'd be great. Really don't like these depressing comics.

I dont understand the downvotes on some of these anti-signal arguments. There are a number of very valid arguments against Signal if privacy is your chief concern: they have centralised servers, they've been extremely lax with adding their production updates to their publicly available source code on github, they receive funding from RFA.

You should tell your best friend about how you have been feeling if you havent. I know it's hard but I'm sure they would want to help and listen.

Honestly, I think this kinds works. Like Lignux neatly integrates GNU without awkwardly expanding it and could be pronounced the same way already is (unless you want to be a psychopath and go around saying 'Lig-Nucks').
