> so your kid isn't smelly What if they want to be?

Picking between 4 options is so lame. If I'm gonna engineer my kids, I want to give them something fun like electric eel genes so they can shock people on command.

Trick question, building GTA7 in Javascript IS a mistake.

I vote for Blitz. Even though I haven't seen him around much ever since the USAID money got shut off 🤔

This one is a classic: > The USD is backed by nothing The Nothing:

You're not understanding... The US isn't going to just willingly stop the scheme because it benefits them to keep it going, and that means continuing to pay out it's creditors in dollars that they get to print - in exchange for those creditors happily giving them back said dollars for new loans in the future, thus establishing their value. THIS IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE EMPIRE. Now maybe those creditors are going to say "screw you, I'm putting my money elsewhere". But if they do, then that elsewhere is gonna become a glass parking lot. When the world burns, investors panic and go back to the USD for safety. Like I said, the USD is backed by uranium. And this system will never collapse unless either: A. They decide to intentionally collapse it and convert it into something else, or B. Every munition has been spent.

The USD is not backed by gold, it's backed by uranium.

A College Educated Professional will sooner die in a gutter than admit that they're no smarter than a tradie. And because they're emotionally attached to the notion that being a tradesman is stupid and mindless activity, they actively dumb themselves down, absolutely guaranteeing that they will be useless on the job site.

Lots of exposed surface area, so you can just search for an asteroid you like and then roll up, grab it, and give it a push in the direction you want it to go...

I went down this rabbithole at some point and I think my finding was that while it's quite possible, the amount of energy needed to do it negates any advantage. Asteroid mining on the other hand...

GOOD.

Link is 404ing, but yes. This needs to happen. I did a AP Conf talk about this idea in 2019 (IIRC)

make it federate...

Jannies (secretly working for US government) now finding out what happens to literally everyone else who secretly works for the US government, when their mission is over.

Spam email claiming to be some kind of Brazilian court order. Actually don't care if it's real or fake. Brazillian courts are all fake.

Ok, it looks like I just discovered the compiler is relying on Branch Delay Slots to get the next instruction executed before the branch happens.But this code IS crashing, and it's crashing *very* early, so branch delay slot issues might still be to blame...

Great. The compiler is making asm that skips over the all important "put something in register a1" before dereferencing the memory 23 bytes after register a1 :|

Today is one of those days when you gotta write "does 1+1=2?" and see what happens...

WDYT?
