Pet peeve #209: implying DFW has a bigger furry scene than Austin. For some reason I doubt that.

This is bad practice.
More accurately it should look something like this:
# Load sys library for exiting with status code
import sys
def sayHelloWorld(outPhrase: str="Hello World"):
# Main function, print a phrase and return NoneType
print(outPhrase)
return None
if __name__=="__main__":
# Provide output and exit cleanly when run from shell
sayHelloWorld()
sys.exit(0)
else:
# Exit with rc!=0 when not run from shell
sys.exit(1)
Does DisplayPort also support audio?
Yes, DisplayPort supports multi-channel audio and many advanced audio features. DisplayPort to HDMI adapters also include the ability to support HDMI audio.
The guy that was checking his phone…his wife was one of the teachers in the school that died.
I think if anything, that cop deserves a little slack.
The fucking litter boxes. Was that meme planted so we could identify which of our friends and neighbors went off the deep end?
Uvalde is majority-minority. If cops went in, more kids probably would’ve died.
That’s tongue-in-cheek gallows humor but sadly not too far off from reality.
Yeah. That’s why we can rank on school nights.
Most the players better than us have to go to school in the morning.
We trade sleep for funtime.
As a parent I don’t have the time for multiplayer gaming.
Sometimes I feel like picking up an MMO. Nostalgia is calling for TBC Classic. But then I remember that I’m not going to have this combination of desire and time to play again for like a week, at least.
And I’d spend all my available time tonight just installing it and getting it working.
And then forget it’s installed.
And then next time I can play, it needs to patch.
That’s not way to play an MMO, especially one where I’d be paying $15/Mo for what amounts to a couple hours of playable time.
So yeah…single player ftw.
How you gonna have Wendover and not Half as Interesting (his shorter form side-channel)?
No Road Guy Rob? Or Practical Engineering?
No Extra History? (I only know him from Nebula but I think he’s on YouTube too)
Also recommend 8bit-Guy for retro computing and Modern Vintage Gamer for retro gaming.
Depends. Chihuahua or mini-pin, yeah, I agree. But a golden-doodle? That’s a tough call.
I remember getting sent to the principals office for “hacking” (pinging the computer in the next room) in like 8th grade.
Back in 4th/5th I actually was hacking, modifying our user menu to add Windows 3.1 and a password (copying config from a teacher’s profile). Also brute-forced at least two teachers passwords.
I’m a network architect now, so there’s that.
I don’t think any programmer would be dumb enough to take that bait.
They would be held personally liable for any business decision that costs the stockholders (while, of course, not being given anything extra when a business decision nets stockholders a fortune).
Most people who think they understand how credit scores work…don’t understand how credit scores work.
The biggest things are loan-to-limit, payment history, and average age of accounts.
Loan-to-limit is easily achieved by keeping balances below 50%, and ideally below 30%. It’s also helped tremendously by not carrying a revolving balance (paying the statement balance in full each month) and not closing idle cards.
Payment history is of course helped by making payments on time.
And AAoA is probably the easiest. Just don’t close cards. Call and “downgrade” a card if it isn’t worth the annual fee. If there’s no annual fee, there’s no reason to close a card.
Just make sure you use it every now and then and pay it off. I sock-drawered one of my oldest cards a long time ago and it just closed last month from being idle, and that took a hit to my score (high limit gone and it’s no longer incrementing time in my AAoA).
It’s also worth mentioning that credit scores don’t matter until you are looking for credit. Credit cards are probably the easiest way to build credit, as long as they are used properly. But they’ll give a basic card to any schmuck. Where it really matters is getting mortgages and larger loans like cars. That’s where having a good score matters. And also better cards that earn more points/miles/cashback and have other fringe benefits.
Articles and posts like this really just exist for conservatives to shout that we need to stop federal spending and cut out “unimportant” things like Dept of Education, as described in Project 2025.
The problem is that debt is good. It enables us to pay for infrastructure projects and services. It doesn’t work like a household budget…not on the scale of international economies…because money “in the bank” is money that’s not in circulation.
When money is not in circulation, it’s not being used to pay for goods and services…it’s just…sitting there being hoarded.
You all complain about Musk hoarding a few hundred billions. Imagine if the debt were in the opposite direction and the government had $34T sitting in the bank doing nothing.
And anyone can buy Treasury debt. In fact, last year it was an AMAZING return on investment for anyone that bought into it and holds into the debt for a few years. One of the safest places anybody could put money to earn a return (behind a HYSA at FDIC insured banks).
Well if they wanted to tell their side of the story, they should’ve won.
Not our fault they didn’t invent guns or a bunch of diseases by domesticating livestock in population centers!
It’s Microsoft Windows’ computer. Must’ve missed that little apostrophe.
France and Spain: See you in an hour, England!
Portugal: I gotchu fam.
You wouldn’t download a serial killer.
But you could download countless murder-mystery audiobooks and ebooks from Libby, so that’s a close second.
Can you smoke it? Or is it like the Intel Arc of weed?
Don’t let this election, or any election, allow us to forget the time back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
