Not gender bending lyrics about your relationship with others is one thing, but misgendering yourself is another. I’m sorry, but Luke Combs calling himself a “checkout girl” in that cover of “Fast Car” just doesn’t sound right.

How is that not a bug in the compiler’s type checking? If the code had been i[0] instead, it would have (correctly) given a subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector error. IMO it should have still done that no matter if the thing inside the subscript was an array, because the type that matters to decide if the subscript operator is even valid to use in the first place is the type of the token to the left of it, not the token inside it!

Sorry to barge in from ‘all’, but I am compelled to point out that “apart of” means exactly the opposite of “a part of.”

As far as I can tell, a horse could either be regulated as a vehicle, or as a pet. If it’s a vehicle, it has to follow all the same traffic laws as cars, which means it’s not allowed to leave the roadway to enter the station. If it’s a pet, it has to “be in a bag or other container and carried in a way that doesn’t annoy other riders.”

Me in 2001, and then again in 2015.

Not having it be regulated makes it a lot harder for parents to do their job, because the kids with responsible parents are getting peer-pressured by the kids with irresponsible parents.

Or put another way: you’re not making parents do their jobs; you’re making their jobs impossible by forcing them to choose between ruining their kid’s mental health by letting her be exposed to social media, or ruin her mental health by forcing her to be ostracised for not using social media.

The only way to have a successful outcome is to force everyone else’s kids not to use it, not just your own, and no amount of rugged individualist good parenting can accomplish that by itself!

That said, I am extremely sympathetic to the arguments against age verification laws too, which is why my preferred solution would be to fucking outlaw and destroy corporate social media entirely, for kids and adults alike!

There’s a bunch of other developing countries missing too, such as the entirety of Africa. Aside from their large populations, I’m not sure why the absence of China and India should be any more surprising than the presence of Colombia and Chile (for example).

It is a bit of a funny mix, though, which makes me wonder of the person who made it was trying to push a narrative.

Four loko for hippies.

Creative, but clearly not particularly effective, given Italy’s continued reputation for corruption.

Which respirator cartridges are the “normal” ones you get at the hardware store? Yellow?

They don’t make safety goggles for gas, those are called gas masks

I mean, sure, the cheap safety googles (like this, not this) aren’t going to be perfect against a tear gas canister or something like that, but I assume they’d at least help some (buying you time to act before it starts seeping in), and be half-decent against directed sprays. I guess if you really wanted to wear swimming goggles under them you could, but it almost seems like overkill unless you plan to be right up on the front line, goading the ICE goons to mace you.

My first inclination would’ve been to just grab the PPE I already have for home DIY (spray painting and such), which are googles like above, paired with a reusable half-face respirator with P100 cartridges (a 3M 65021, I think). If cobbling together sports equipment really is better than that, I want to understand why and I’m not sure I do yet.

Also, even if we are talking about a full face respirator, where’d you come up with the $600 figure? What’s wrong with something like a 3M 6800 for $125?

Or get actual safety goggles instead of something made for a different purpose?

Pinkie is 100% believable as a drug kingpin.

Quality chairs are worth it. I bought a used Aeron chair (probably surplus from the dot-com crash) a decade and a half ago and, aside from the armrests that my cat tore up, you could still mistake it for brand-new.

Wait, let me make sure y’all understand: the whole back and seat are mesh, yet it’s still perfect after decades of daily use. It hasn’t even stretched, let alone torn. That’s crazy! I don’t know what kind of carbon-reinforced alien supermaterial it’s made out of, but I assume it’s gonna give me cancer or something 'cause that shit ain’t natural.

It’s a bit of a random tangent in the context of his channel, but there’s a video from a cocktail youtuber that goes into surprisingly interesting detail about that:

And that was in 2002 and 2003 respectively, before Activision’s additional evil was even involved. I’ve been boycotting Blizzard for 24 years now.

If that’s not edited, I really want to know what the original context was.

I microwave in multiples of 11 (up to 99) because I figure hitting the same button twice is slightly faster than finding the 0 button.
