American rewards with money what it truly values, and it truly values war.

A stint in the Space Force, Air Force etc can open DoD and many other doors via the human network officers naturally acquire. It's an instant career or a useful stepping stone. The security clearance won't hurt either.

The Guard and Reserve are options for those wanting to hold civilian employment but active duty retires much sooner. An officer makes enough to fully retire at twenty years and never need to work again.

Were you a crackhead who was also an engineer or did you engineer crackheads?
'Cause that seems more ambiguous than, say, electrical engineer. :-)

Games are mere toys freely adopted and freely abandoned. There is no "prison" and such hyperbole is absurd.

Of course your comment on Palladium is correct, but games are mere trifling amusement with no involuntary physical constraints like a prison cell.

And didn't doge - I mean, dodge - accountability and responsibility.

Exactly. TFS and TFA state the following:

Which is misleading as products aren't being pushed on Europe, or previously the U.S., people are buying/importing the stuff.

No wonder they haven't cave to Trump's lawsuits about their Epstein articles. :-)

More to the point, if one is interested in who/what won what award - for some reason - it's easier to simply wait until the next day and read an article about it online somewhere. Same goes for any performances that may be entertaining. Why waste X hours watching either linear or streaming, especially if it contains commercials/ads. Personally, while I can see a point for the actual awards - it's nice to be recognized by your peers for your efforts - I can't really see a point to a (live) show about them. Same goes for all the other award shows. /$0.02

Tell Python programmers that white-space block delineation is dumb and braces are better. :-)

At which point, you're (basically) using C - again. Not saying that there's no benefit to Rust and its safe(er) sections, but being a good Rust programmer doesn't make you a good C programmer, which (I'm guessing) is what you need more of for the unsafe sections. Rewriting things in Rust for the sake of it probably hinges on the ratio or safe to unsafe code, where those are and how they're maintained.

Rewrites always carry the risk of new problems as well as old problems in new ways.

Just curious; was there a reason this coded needed to be rewritten or was it a failure to apply "if it's not broke, don't fix it?"

Or Michelle Obama tried to get kids to eat healthier and exercise more - and got roasted by some on The Right. (but they're cool with RFK, Jr and all of MAHA)

Republicans will fight for it - when a Democrat is in office. Note that I'm not declaring that Democrats are definitely better, but more that Republicans aren't thinking the statement below through. Congressional Republicans are okay abdicating their authority and responsibility now, under Trump, but probably not so much when they're no longer in power, especially if (when) they lose the House and Senate in 2026 and the White House in 2028.

Republicans aren't thinking ahead and may just have to suffer through learning what things like the following mean: "reap what you've sown", "good for the goose, good for the gander", "what goes around, comes around", etc...

Indeed. And "Boner Killer" would be too "on the nose," so to speak, though I guess all glasses are the latter. :-)
