I think around 4 will do it. They say your stomach is what, two fists or so large? That seems about right

If the screenshot says it all they don't want that, they want exciting leftist news

Yeah, that could definitely be cool.

Cost would be a big factor ... Fandom got big by being free and eventually replaced (or heavily customized) mediawiki to the point it's unrecognizable.

Anything with a server software you can host can be played on LAN (okay probably not some things because they're being weird but in general this is true).

That means counter strike, Minecraft, supertuxkart, xonotic, enshrouded, pal world, etc

Congratulations, but please don't invite me to the wedding 🙂

Does it though...?

I'm coming at it from "I've played a couple hundred hours of CSGO and a little bit of CS2 which is basically CSGO but with a couple of graphical upgrades and minor game play tweaks leveraging those graphics, like the bullets punch holes in the smoke."

CSGO and CS2 seem more familiar than different, so it's somewhat surprising to me that CS 1.6 would be fully reimplemented by someone. Normally that only happens when the game significantly changed (e.g., RuneScape changed its combat system and then the old combat system was resurrected under OSRS), so ... I'm trying to understand what was that significant thing is.

So what's the big difference between 1.6 and 2?

Basically the only option is to use Google messages on Android and the messages app on iOS.

RCS is hypothetically open, but in practice those are the only two respected implementations. Neither Google nor Apple has given sufficient API access to make RCS work outside of their respective apps on their respective platforms.

Nutritionally, it's terrible either way.

I think your body would have a better time with it spread out over the course of the entire day. However you're still absorbing an insane amount of sugar in a single day.

There's a chance all at once would result in more of it being pooped out and thus be better ... but it's so close to just eating sugar I expect you'd absorb it and then your body would go into overdrive producing insulin.

Fine every now and then, but regularly it would be insanely bad no matter which way you do it.

Nice! Thanks for sharing

But there is no such implementation AFAIK? How is it making Typescript faster if it's a completely new implementation?

Well a new implementation running TypeScript could be 10x faster than the traditional e.g., NodeJS implementation or something; it's not unusual for things to be compared in such a way.

But certainly, in theory it could become unshackled from JavaScript. Have there been any serious attempts to do so though?

No idea! :)

I... Don't know about that. I mean, you could implement a browser or even a runtime library that used typescript (or a subset thereof) to directly write LLVM; it would take a lot of work, but typescript doesn't have to just be for transpiling.

I don't know for sure what we learned, but I remember my Spanish teacher talking about a girl from Spain that came to her class and didn't do her work.

Apparently the girl wasn't doing well in Spanish class and later accused the teacher of teaching "gutter Mexican."

Which ... honestly didn't hit me as the flex my Spanish teacher seemed to be making it out to be.

0% have authority to stand against. Roughly 28% or something voted against.

That's actually true, the American accent (excluding the southern accent) is the closest thing to the original English accent we know of.

The modern British accent and the Aussie accent that derived from it came to be in either the 19th or 20th century, I forget which.

The filibuster is a thing and that regularly prevents anything from getting done without 60 votes.

Obama in his book (A Promised Land) talks about this and how his biggest regret is not ending the filibuster as his first action because it proceeded to cripple his entire administration and agenda for the majority of his presidency.

sufficient majority

It's a complicated issue in the United States because of the history. Lots of countries did slavery, but at the point the United States did it, science was starting to spark into its modern form and one idea that "seemed good at the time" was pursuing superior genes.

That ... went really really really sideways and basically became a justification for continued slavery on the premise that white people were just better and they were doing the inferior black people a favor. Basically while the rest of the world was going "maybe slavery isn't good" the US was like "slavery is the humane thing to do, because science!"

Even after shit like that gets disproven people still tend to believe some amount of it (look at the antivax movement). So, even after the slaves were freed, they and their children were looked down upon by the culture. Many black people remained uneducated, financially bankrupt, etc. The culture especially in the south fought really hard to keep it that way for a looonnngggggg time.

That kind of formed a counter culture of its own, the "gang" culture. Which isn't all that different from the counter culture you see that came from prohibition and the moonshiners and such ... basically outlaws fighting the man, looked down upon, etc

So basically there are several main US cultures, Northern East White, Midwestern White, West Coast White, Southern White, Black, and the Appalachian White/redneck culture that descends from a mix of the moonshine runners, rural farmers, coal miners, and white southern culture.

Black people of course have multiple cultures even within the US but it's all kind of lumped into this messy "black culture" thing. Some black people I've met love the black gangster with the gold chains imagery and hold it up as something great and the "true black culture", others see it as ridiculous and trashy.

Calling these other cultures white is also intellectually dishonest as the entire US is a melting pot and the cultures of those regions were not formed by a single skin color ... but I'm using "white" for the purposes of the contrast ...

Anyways, black people just kind of stand out so they're an easy target... and they have been targeted for a very long time fueled (at least in part) by that long ruled scientifically ridiculous idea that they're inferior.

Add in the extra spice that the Appalachian subculture is angry about being tied in with the other white cultures despite being screwed over by the government a lot (not to the extent black people were, but still badly) ... and you've basically got the mess that is America in 2025.

There's a mix of justifiably mad people on both sides, outright racists, and people that serve to benefit from the conflict never ending politically.

(Perspective of a white guy originally from Appalachia that has seen a fair bit of the country and world now ... and largely no longer agrees with the Appalachians politically ... but is trying his best to explain a very complicated and touchy subject without writing a novel or making a bunch of people angry ... your collective grace is appreciated)
