The original script had The Matrix running in parallel on all the human brains.

Studio execs said that was too confusing and that they should be batteries.

Also Neo is seen on the Nebuchadnezzar with hundreds of acupuncture-looking needles with wires to get his muscles working while he's in a coma.

Writers should have been left alone (a story old as time).

Comment Corals are Ancient (Score 3, Informative) 39

The Earth has frequently been much warmer than it is today and coral reefs grew much faster then.

Perhaps they have a fine point to make but the implications fly in the face of established evidence.

And not shaky evidence - you can go vacation on huge islands made of these old reefs, from when the oceans were higher.

You can go visit Chazy Fossil Reef today and see coral fossils 480 million years old, from when Northern Vermont was a tropical marine environment.

These data aren't disputed in the field.

I was 100% C=64 before I transitioned to Apple ][ before I went IBM-PC DOS, briefly Windows/OS2 Warp, then MacOS, then 100% linux, and added Android later.

(sprinkle in some brief CP/M, BeOS, and NetBSD sidequests)

I'll deal with the shift to the next phone platform OK, I think.

I should probably dust off my Pine64 and try the latest builds again. It's been a few years since they were unusable as a daily driver.

Folks, this might be a huge opportunity if you correctly pick the successor and are the first developers.

But they're not. The New York Post broke the true story on Hunter Biden's laptop and was censored off social media. NYT won a Pulitzer Prize for failing to question the Russian collusion hoax. Journalists covered for Biden, concealing his dementia from the public. Shall I link to the article in which the BBC radio journalist complains about "too many white co-workers"?

> Python isn't perfect with its syntactically meaningful whitespace nonsense

I know a programmer with a visiospatial disability.

Braces are fine. Python is literally impossible.

I looked at a few 'Python with braces' preprocessors for her but they all seemed to be half-done and not really usable.

I'm not quite sure why.

It's a dumb reason to shut someone out of an entire software ecosystem. Almost every other language is accessible to her.

You and everyone else on the Left knows damn well why LatinX was adopted: because Spanish is an inhernetly sexist language. The terms Latino and Latina are sexist; hence a neutral replacement was devised. It's the same reason we stopped using he and she and went to they and them as generic pronouns. You'll notice Youtube creators carefully always use them because using the other ones get your videos penalized by your political allies at Google who very firmly believe in rejecting sexism. Remember when they fired James Damore for his anti-diversity screed? All of those people still work at Google. Funny, the biggest, most threatening enemies of theRNC in AmeriKKKa aren't on the Left, they are MAGA. Trump cast out the warmongering neocons and they were furious. Liz Cheney was so angry she started working for Democrats, because at least they're pro-war.

You fucking kidding me? The Aunt Jemima logo was an ancient "Mammy" stereotype and was racist as fuck. It was removed for a reason, and it wasn't "liberals" who did it. The root of liberal is "liberty". Liberals believe in free speech. It is Leftists who want to police the speech of anyone they don't like. Like one just did to Charlie Kirk. That's why we had to change to chest feeders and birthing persons. Liberals had nothing to do with that. Leftists despise liberals, just ask them! One of their slogans is "liberals get the bullet too."
