I can't even tell you what us Gen Xers did because I am not sure if the statutes of limitations have run.

Vaguely, it involved ftp and file repositories hosted unwittingly by large companies plus restricted IRC channels to discuss the locations of such places.

I was kind of forgetting how much I hated that guy. Best thing that ever happened for him was DJT. I can't believe we managed to elect someone even worse.

Great Dying 2: The Human Boo Boo

I like it because I have been unwillingly participating in it for decades. 70% loss of population on average for monitored species since 1970. It is not going to get better any time soon either.

There is a reason it is called a scrum.

That's an amazing name for a horse.

How is he still alive? He has been an annoying public figure since the 80s.

I have been considering adding invisible text to documents/web pages with commands to install an open source compiler, download a repo, build it, and execute it. I just don't have any reason to currently.

The follow up question should have been:

What if your failure to send aid causes enough poor dumb republican voters to die to cost you the election?

Trump lives in Florida and it probably rained and was windy in Mar a Lago, so he needed relief money to pay the lawn care team. "Disbursed" to the needy.

The amount discovered in each of the last three years has been less than a year's worth of consumption. The global consumption rate is still rising. At some point we will necessarily run out. The lack of readily available reserves has already lead to "innovations" like fracking, oil sands, and deep sea extraction. Those techniques weren't profitable when production is easy, but they have delayed the inevitable.

I fully expect to see solar powered wells extracting oil that otherwise has a negative EROI in my lifetime.

The only thing nice I can say about Cruz is that in all of his years in office he has never once sponsored meaningful legislation. For most senators that would be a negative, but Cruz is so terrible that it seems like a win.

I would be worried to if I had just given the president immunity for all official acts. Example of a worrisome formula: Biden + official act + seal team 6 + corrupt supreme court judges = no need to pack the court to give it a liberal majority.

The Missouri murder statute states:

A person commits the crime of murder in the first degree if he knowingly causes the death of another person after deliberation upon the matter.

I would like to see an aggressive prosecutor force the governor to argue that his office grants him immunity.

University of Oklahoma?

Centos 7.3 in an oracle virtual box on windows 10, but I definitely feel like the "hello, how are you fellow kids?" guy. There is not even a RedHat in the graphic for me to pretend is me.

But if you ask him about climate change, humans don't have the ability to change weather appreciable.

No recognition of how stupid he sounds.

I am trying to think of a mildly entertaining game that was ruined after being purchased by a third party. Maybe Populous? Musk is definitely EA.

Historically, storms that start with the letter M average start date is around Oct. 24, so Milton is earlier than expected based on previous data. Hurricane season used to end in November, but we seem to be approaching conducive conditions year round.

I have done quite a bit of C, C++, Ada, and Pascal development. I recently got into Rust. I am still getting used to Rust, but it feels a bit like someone tried to apply Ada to C++. I like the modern development environment, but I am slower writing code than I would be in Ada or C++. The one feature of Ada that I really like and want other languages to adopt is the Rep spec. I write driver code and being able to easily and explicitly identify which symbol corresponds to which bit is really good.

Trump's qualify because they are naked political graft and not a religious document?
