I tend to prefer Hiroshima sort. Sorting completed in O(1) time, and it frees up memory too.

Yes. UBI has been a leftist conversation point for the last few years. Overall though the Democratic Party is opposed [1]. Two years ago when asked if the democrats would step up efforts to help people in financial straights the response was an effective no [2]. If I remember correctly that was even a campaign promise from Joe Bidden, that nothing significant would change.

And despite that, when the democrat’s made promses when it comes time to follow through they have a hard time enacting their goals. I will grant that a big chunk of that is republican interference, but the democrats seem to be extremely hesitant to use the levers of power available to them to follow through. When one side is blatently, openly cheating, its folly to keep trying to play by old rules.

And please don’t get me wrong, nothing I’m saying should be taken as endorsement for the Republicans. I want to live in a world of rational debate and law. However, both sides have to agree to that for it to work. When one side wants to win at all costs the democrats can’t keep playing from the same old book forever.

Let’s start with the 70% or so of people that report living paycheck to paycheck[1] rather than claiming that the 'economy is doing fine. Let’s even acknowledge that inflation is making good and housing prohibitively expensive[2].

The things you mentioned are important. For people that are struggling to keep a roof over their heads though the issue of Healthcare or education tend to be less critical than keeping food on the table. We can’t keep saying the economy is doing fine while people keeping trying to tell us it isn’t.

Its disingenuous to the actual issues facing young men, but right on point for how people seem to see mens issues. It is in fact a perfect example of why men might just feel put upon by the left.

“This sentence is the epitome of injustice and a dangerous nod to child sexual predators letting them know, ‘No worries, we won’t go too hard on you,’”

This seems like its missing a pretty obvious point. Its not that the judge is going easy on a child rapist. The judge is going easy on a cop, who just so happens to also be a fucking child rapist. This cop, and the judge both deserve to be in jail for the rest of their lives.

Which I think its important to point out isn’t an endorsement. It means that we in the west should be doing everything we can to enforce our saftey standards on products sold in our countries, and if that isn’t possible then we should be bringing the manufacturing back onshore.

That’s only because you individually have been made responsible for the election. Every one else was at the meeting and didn’t want the job. Good luck, and don’t choose wrong!

To quibble, you can’t pop a HID into a reflector housing at all, usually. Halogen and drop in replacement LED have a different focal point than HID bulbs do.

This means if switching to HIDs you also need to replace the entire housing so it will focus the light correctly. No amount of adjustment will be correct if the beam isn’t focused properly.

Seconding this, and its a great game but only if you do like games where there is a story line, but its up to you to find it.

Don’t comment what a line is doing. Instead, write your code, especially names for variables, constants, classes, functions, methods and so on, so that they produce talking code that needs no comments.

Over and over and over again in my experience this just doesn’t work. Readable code does not substitute for comments about what the code should be doing.

Okay, but now what about the people that have this part,

none of that means anything when you’ve hit the third month and you’re miserable and anxious and know this is what you’re in for now, everyday

But not this part,

** I’m** at a point in life where I earn a good living

(Emphasis mine)

Unless I misread the tone of your message, its frankly useless and more than little insulting. No shit some jobs suck, but if its the difference between homelessness, or going hungry that’s not a choice at all.

Out of curiosity what do you feel when you finish a book?

You just watch the shit if you think it’s interesting and you feel like it. There’s no “investment” there to worry about.

There absolutely is an emotional investment in a show that I find interesting. If that show ends before it completes its story it does annoy me and is a drag on starting something new.

So whats then, we do nothing at all?

like projects? Do you know any history at all?

What, like the low cost medium and high density construction that many European and Eastern block countries used to house their populations. It helps if you don’t intend to stuff them with the poor and disenfranchised and then ignore them from the outset.

It’s a movie but CPT Jack was right, you cant trust an honest person, but people do anyways.

Yes, because free market capitalism has been working out great.

Check the straps of those portable luggage stands first those. They are a favorite location of bed bugs since the don’t often get treated. Unroll the straps a little bit to check underneath them next to the tubes.

Maybe its not because of assholes? Maybe its because the comment is objectively wrong?

Neither my gas water heater, or gas furnace work during a power outage. As another commenter said they both have electronic controls.

Except, if I understand correctly they haven’t u-turned. They aren’t removing the language re encryption, just acknowledging that it isn’t enforceable. Yet.

Still not great though because it would still be blocking access to the stall, effectively blocking the stall anyways.

The bike parking there for example blocks a wheelchair lift if the vehicle doesnt want to back in.

Exactly, its not that I’m not interested in gaming anymore. It’s that none of the games released recently are worth playing.

In an endless sea of call of dooty clones and other derivative drek finding something decent has become hard. I want new ip damn it, not yet another remake or sequel.
