My young nephew has entered a phase where he says “I like x” where x is the last thing you said to him. I told him I was going to work and he said “I like going to work”. No, little buddy. You don’t.

Tunnel Snakes rule!

Dino called someone but they didn’t pick up. Brain is relieved saying they can forget about the call. Dino notes the person they tried to call is calling back. Brain urges Dino to ignore it.

Saw people talking in comments at several places now, expressing animosity towards them to say the least, always presented as something that everyone seems to know about.

tl;dr It’s YouTuber drama. Consider yourself lucky you’re not so terminally online that you understand it.

Piratesoftware is a Twitch steamer/YouTuber who speaks his mind quite bluntly and doesn’t back down after doing so. Because of that, he’s often involved in streamer drama and has a lot of people who dislike him. Haters love to reference these past dramas whenever his name is brought up.

10 months ago, he was involved in drama when he was asked his opinion on the Stop Killing Games EU citizens initiative. His opinion was that he didnt like it and expressed himself in a crass and crude way as he normally does. Supporters of the initiative didn’t like that and it spawned a lot of back and forth arguments before dying down.

Currently, the citizens initiative is short on having the required signatures to move forward and the deadline is in a few weeks. The lead guy behind the movement put out a video saying the initiative will likely fail, he will be ending his organization efforts when it does, and blamed it on Piratesoftware’s video from 10 months ago. That has restarted the drama.

From the wiki page on the American Bar Association, they seem to mostly be involved in setting academic and ethical standards and don’t actually grant or revoke licences.

My understanding is that “China” is special because they’re a founding member of the UN and have special powers due to that. After the civil war, neither Taiwan or China wanted to lose that power, so neither side wanted to be recognized as anything other than “China”. I’ve heard that the younger generation in Taiwan are more open to being recognized as Taiwan but China has kind of made that impossible now by threatening any country that doesn’t respect the “one China” policy.

You should get a wall mount for the TV. Lot of people in the room? Need more space? Voila! Pushes right into the wall!

I work at a factory in Canada. We just got a huge contract from European customers and we’ve been told we’re running more machines on 24/7 shifts to meet demand and hiring 50 new staff to do it. The clients switched from producing in the US to avoid costs associated with the trade war.

Crusader Kings is definitely the game that leads to the sketchiest searches.

“How do I seduce my daughter?”

“What is the easiest way to kill myself?”

“What are the positives of having an affair?”

Welcome to the family, son

The flag on the far left is labeled as “Germany” but it doesn’t look like any German flag I recognize.

That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Abortion became legal in Canada through the Criminal Law Amendment Act, passed in 1969. At that time, abortions could take place in hospitals, but only if a 3-doctor committee determined that the pregnancy posed a danger to the parent’s health. In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Criminal Code provisions restricting abortion were unconstitutional and struck them down.

Abortion was legal with restrictions. The Supreme Court only removed the restrictions.

SCOTUS has been effectively making laws for a while. Interracial marriage is legal because of a SCOTUS ruling. Gay marriage is legal because of a SCOTUS ruling. Abortion was legal because of a SCOTUS ruling.

These are all legal in Canada because parliament passed laws making them legal, and not because of Supreme Court rulings. I get the sense that the US Congress is so bad at passing any laws whatsoever that the only time laws change is when SCOTUS changes them.

It is true. Math.min() returns positive Infinity when called with no arguments and Math.max() returns Negative Infinity when called with no arguments. Positive Infinity > Negative Infinity.

Math.min() works something like this

def min(numbers):
  r = Infinity
  for n in numbers:
    if n < r:
      r = n
  return r

I’m guessing there’s a reason they wanted min() to be able to be called without any arguments but I’m sure it isn’t a good one.

depending on pronunciation and tone of voice.

These are all great questions for a lawyer and the answer is probably “it depends”. My understanding is that, if something has multiple licences, you need to follow all of them simultaneously. You can’t choose unless it’s clear that the author allows the choice by using “or” when listing the licences.

The best thing to do when something isn’t clearly licenced is to reach out to the author and ask them to clarify it. If they don’t write back then you shouldn’t do anything with the source material.

I was on a discussion board for anime figurines and people started posting screenshots of their order checkouts showing tariffs nearly doubling the cost of their order. That caused a conundrum because people started talking politics and that’s not allowed according to the board rules. But what are people supposed to do? Can they talk about increased prices or is that political? Do they just have to pretend prices have skyrocketed for no reason at all? Can they even mention prices are higher than before?

If you don’t restrict things then you’re allowing discussion of politics. If you do restrict things then you’re preventing normal discussion because of politics. It’s unavoidable.

For the greater good.
