This command is much faster. Instead of random bits, it just marks everything zero (dude). Is good enough.

the preferred nomenclature is “come back with a warrant”.

That thing about being anti-bacterial is true. By simply being a barrier that microbes (and dirt, and water) can’t penetrate. For short term wound treatment, petroleum jelly is an excellent barrier for an open wound that’s not bleeding. Bandages inundated with it can keep a wound clean in the roughest conditions.

Good news everyone!

You can’t make yourself sleep. You can make yourself get up. Force yourself to get up early the going to bed early part will take care of itself.

Oh and you should stop drinking liquids a couple of hours before bed. Unless your a man over 50, in that case if you want to sleep through the night you’ll have to avoid any fluids after Tuesday.

You call people what they want to be called. This is universal respect since forever.

If you accept nicknames, but struggle with pronouns, your problem is bigotry.

One of the biggest reasons nobody trusts the media is because of this stupid standard of objectivity. Not the journalists fault, might as well insist reporters can fly as be “objective”.

Pretending to be objective is dishonest; making it an editorial standard guarantees you’re lying to the audience.

Because I’m not allowed to read the article to know if this is mentioned: a big reason why this would aggravate Wukong fans is that Nintendo is a Japanese company.

I tried to read MK once, it was impenetrable. If you’re not intimately familiar with continental politics from the F/P war through Wiemar, most of it will sail noiselessly above your head.

I read in a history once that the joke in Nazi Germany was that Mine Kamph was like the Bible; everyone owned a copy, but nobody read it.

At some meeting someone asked: “AI is going to change everything. How is it going to change the Windows experience”? And recall was the best they could come up with.

Anybody notice that the cybertruck looks like a “refinement” of the taste that brought us the Aztec?

“spices” were valued for their exclusivity, or because rich people ate them.

For example, allium plants like garlic and onion were viewed with suspicion and disgust, even considered poisons. This isn’t because they don’t taste good, more that anybody with a garden could grow them. Meanwhile, spices like nutmeg, which only grow in far-off places were coveted.

This is also the probable explanation for prohibitions on pork. Pigs are the meat of the poor, because you don’t need much land or resources to raise them. That old wives tale about trichinosis implies that ancient people were too stupid to cook their pork thoroughly while consuming chicken and fish that had the same illness and parasite problems as pigs.

This article’s reasoning is faith based. The cornerstone assumption is that industry profits and layoffs obey the preferences of the market.

To those who follow the industry, this is demonstrably false. What follows is the lack of awareness on full display:

and even though Spider-Man 2 sold more than 11 million copies, several members of Insomniac lost their jobs when Sony announced 900 layoffs in February.

I got a tortilla press for Xmas last year. It really is a different experience. And I’m just using plain grocery store masa.

If you think about it, every tech is just radio. And I don’t just mean cellular, wifi, and bluetooth, There are few things on an SoC that aren’t just refinements and miniaturizations of radio tech.

I thought the worst part of dating was getting my heart broken, but what I remember best are the girls I let down.

You younglings won’t understand, but after about age 35, your brain filters out calendar math and you won’t notice the meme is wrong.

If Batman were a realistic Billionaire, he’d buy Wikipedia to “set the record straight”.
