Well then, I'm taking my Tannerite and going home.

... take your Mac down to the rifle range and use it as a target.

It's the only way to be sure.

You don't know him and don't know he's a sociopath.

However, the people who do know him say he's a sociopath, so they probably know.

Because she's gonna be rich pretty soon.

As long as it's my hand on the lever, I'm OK with the outcome.

... because when Israeli intelligence breeches FBI security, they don't deface the home page.

The OPM subcontractors "lost" government employee records (including security clearance information) so many times, the issue is moot.

Well, something went horribly wrong between python 2.x.x and 3.x.x. Because many v2 apps won't run on v3. And the application maintainers won't port every time someone picks up the language and tinkers with it.

Maybe you use different OSes to me, but I expect whoami to be deterministic rather than stochastic.

We have bubonic plague infections every year in the United States. Very, very few, admittedly, but it's not like it's been eradicated. So there's still benefit in studying it.

The more I hear about this so-called "SF Democratic Party," the more I'm convinced they don't speak for the majority of SF voters. Seriously. They seem to be some strange, centrist organization that no voters belong to and nobody knows where they get their money from.

Well, python is currently implemented with C. so we've already gone down this road.

I just hope that the jump from 3.17 to 3.18 (python with Rust) doesn't introduce another incompatibility branch. I've already got two versions on my system and I don't want any more snakes on my plane.

Soup of the day.

Cell phone coverage is practically nil out in many areas. Yes, we did build out the cell phone network. But then we switched to 4G/5G and in promptly vanished. Gotta keep those basement-dwelling autists happy with low latency networking for their vidya games.

And actually, "we" didn't build out anything. The corporations got lots of bandwidth to offer revenue producing product providing service we were getting for free. Compare the net present value of the fees you will be paying AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile for the rest of your life to the few hundred dollars an AM/FM radio will cost you once.

I believe you misspelled "slower than molasses in February".
