I did that for my mobile hotspot. No one got it :(

It looks like a partially disassembled head band from some cheap gaming headphones. Image searches won’t find it because the metal shouldn’t be visible in the actual product.

You just don’t get 11 dimensional particle physics. I was actually into it up until that point. As soon as they pulled that shit, I would have quit but wanted to finish for our book club discussion.

People forget that there’s already a breakdown of the US between the country and state levels. The federal district courts divide the country into 11 districts. This effectively means there are groups of states where court precedence equates to different interpretations on the same laws.

So if something were to divide the country this map might make a good breakdown. It’s not very geographically regional, but few state borders are.

They didn’t used to. It used to be when a game made back its R&D costs it would get a price cut. The current management is ruining Nintendo.

That cafe run is a break from whatever misery requires so much caffeine.

Childhood happiness was centered around Christmas, or maybe a family trip to a place like Disneyland. I was generally happy as a kid, except for the times dealing with school bullies. Nothing in my childhood compared to the absolute giddiness of seeing my wife in her wedding dress for that first look, nor the pure joy of realizing for the first time just how much I love my children.

This is how they had to dress. Even the cashiers and cooks had to be business casual. And they had to buy the uniforms out of their wages.

Today they wouldn’t be able to afford to, but that’s what stagnant minimum wage and soaring corporate profits has gotten us.

Sketchers as a daily shoe lasts me about 4 months. I like the fit and comfort, but their durability is terrible. Sometimes it’s the outer parts just coming unglued, many times it’s the padding inside wearing through despite my thick socks.

In this economy they were probably just being contrarian to get another free meal and some more pocket change.

Dammit I was thinking of Iwata and didn’t check my tired thoughts and just dropped the most famous Nintendo name my brain came up with. Apologies.

When Miamoto Iwata died, Nintendo just had to stay the course. They were never dominant, but they were ubiquitous and everyone enjoyed their products. Now the new guys don’t even play games, and the switch 2 price point is ridiculous, and they never fixed the issue with the joy con sticks, and prices never drop like they used to. You can’t count on new leadership being capable of continuing success, even when all they have to do is keep things on the exact same course.

Funny, I have the opposite complaint about Fallout 4. In what is supposed to be a nuclear wasteland of a city where everyone is struggling to keep their small communities going, there are just too many people in such a small space to make this feel real. I liked Fallout 3 and New Vegas more because the world was properly empty, but still had so many things to discover.

In programming you declare variables. To keep it simple let’s say there are only 2 types, numbers and words.

Now 1 is obviously a number, and ‘word’ is obviously a word. If I ask you to divide 100 by ‘word’ you’d have to tell me that’s not possible.

Now what if a say divide 100 by the “word” ‘10’? Well I’m a strongly typed programming language, you’d have to tell me “well, because you defined it with the single quotes, that’s actually a word so you can’t do math on it.” In a loosely typed language you’d be like “yeah I get that ‘10’ meant the number 10 so I’ll do the math.

This creates amusing weirdness in loosely typed languages, especially when they use math operators to represent word actions. For instance JavaScript is infamously loosely typed and uses the + sign to join words together so if I say ‘Java’ + ‘Script’, I get back ‘JavaScript’. So all the following are true in JavaScript:

1+1=2 1-1=0 ‘1’+1=11 because the ‘1’ makes it think you want to join words and it converts the second number 1 to a word ‘11’-1=10 because there’s no word operation applied to the minus sign, so it converted the word ‘11’ to a number

There’s lots of other tomfoolery, but I’m trying to keep the explanation simple. But any mixing of words and numbers in a strongly typed language would just give you an error.

I’m with the top reply of this thread, you don’t need strong typing if you understand what the code does.

Starts out great but quickly goes through the SyFy cost cutting machine that turns it into trash. If you have the willpower, just watch the first season. But no one does and you’ll watch a great concept fall apart. The best part is the ideas for a better story that it’ll spark in your own head.

The ten vehicles were fully funded through private donations.

Those private donations could have done better, but at least it wasn’t tax dollars.

Specifically he swapped the place of the R and the M and then rotated just the M so it’s a W. Surprised I don’t see that more often with the idiots around here and their punisher stickers on their compensators.

My wife’s a meal planner, I’m more of a ‘whatever’s in the house’ type of cook. Just throw random shit together if it even sounds close to good. So I’d probably just do lots of stir-fries of all the random ingredients for planned meals that didn’t happen but still live in our freezer.

She’d return to what appears to be freezer that I cleaned out, and I will have put next to no thought into cooking.

Gauntlet in the arcade was the worst. Not only did enemies reduce your health, so did time. You were effectively bleeding out and propping yourself up with quarters.

Nah, she’s exactly what we can expect from Dems. She’s not progressive, but other than the ID thing, she’s got a pretty good track record. Even that was a lost cause but I would have rather her not roll over. Anyway, she’s not perfect but a hell of a lot better than where we’re be if Lake won.
