The toppings, though…

I’ve always wondered (but not hard enough to google it) about “Petered out”. Who if this Peter that failed to finish things so often that he became a phrase?!

Yeah, making lunch can be quick. But I also think its easy to overlook how scarce of a resource time can be when you’re struggling to make ends meet. I say this as someone who has been fortunate for most of life; it didn’t really occur to me until it was pointed out.

There’s also the meal prep time, which many families, particularly poor ones, can’t afford either.

Sounds good! And the emergency is that there are too many data centers on the grid.

It’s also helpful to understand when you’re not completely powerless, rather than confusing complacency for inevitability.

I suppose you’re right. We are powerless and griping on the internet is the only catharsis available to us!

I agree, but I also think we need to be aware of what we agree to when entering service agreements. Certainly for something like an ISP for which there is often a monopoly there may not be much of a choice, but even when you do have a choice, how often do you actually read what you’re agreeing to? We have the option to try to vote with our wallets, but instead we’ve collectively just continued to sign up for services that have arbitration agreements. If companies see only token resistance to such contracts then they’re not going to be deterred.

It’s legal because people agree to it as part of entering a contract. And as scummy as you or I may believe it to be, people still enter into such contracts, and courts have not ruled them unconscionable.

Are you calling me fat?!

Let’s hope they do two or three other old Republicans! You know, just to be safe!

I had to reread the name. This isn’t about Mitch McConnell, then?

Roger Zelazny is one of my favorite authors. Roadmarks and A Night in the Lonesome October are probaby my favorites from him.

I just finished the most recent Dungeon Crawler Carl, which was fun. And I’m currently working on This Way Up.

There may well be. I’d certainly not take anything that the government says at face value these days. And I think some of the charges, like treating antifa as a terrorist organization, or treating protesters as organized conspirators are pretty blatant BS.

The one that shot an officer got 100 years. I think it’s clear that the government is dangerously treading on people’s rights to protest, but it appears that not everyone here was just waving signs.

If one of these bumped into me I feel like I’d want to tip it over in response.

Another option is to disable the warning locally […] But this is compiler-specific and noisy. It also does not explain the real issue to anyone reading the code.

I don’t understand this logic. Surely disabling the warning is directly explaining the actual issue, that the code emits a false positive warning for specific compilers and conditions? That the false_but_compiler_does_not_know_it_ thing is apparently the better way to convey what’s going on seems kind of ridiculous.
