Harper lacks the imagination to be a wannabe tyrant. He's just copying what the US does. He hasn't exactly disguised the fact that imitating whatever the US does, no matter how stupid, is the only political belief he actually has.

That's not called voting. That's called treason.

Hungarian notation made sense in the context of its original purpose, which was consistent naming in code that mixed assember and C.

Of course, it's a horrible brain-damaging handicap everywhere else.

"what women say they want and watching what they actual go after"

I've learned there's a communication gap here because unlike men, women tend to communicate in context-dependent terms. When they list what the 'want', they are specifically talking about secondary priorities. Their actual priorities aren't mentioned because they're considered given. For example, 'sensitive' doesn't mean a guy who is sensitive by nature, it means the guy who is slightly more sensitive than they guy they're already with or were with most recently (who of course is borderline anti-social). I heard "looks don't matter" which turned out to mean "any kind of look as long as it's in the top 1%".

Any time you see "minor surgery" you know you're dealing with someone with no understanding of actual surgery. Surgery can be routine, but it's never minor.

Both evolution denial and climate change denial arise, not because some people believe evolution or climate change are not real, but because they know they are.

Originally it was quite possible for states to legally and peacefully secede, and theoretically new states created out of real estate that was US government property had the same rights as the one which were originally sovereign entities (the thirteen founding states plus Vermont and Texas). Once those 15 became the minority (1850), the point of view changed.

Translation:

Business decisions regarding a manufacturing/creative process involve trade-offs.

Well, duh....

Some degree of commenting is a necessary part of the job. Some degree of documentation might be better done by a different person from the one who did the code. Sometimes comments are good, sometimes bad. Sometimes the absence of comments is good, sometimes bad. This sort of thing is nowhere near as unique and exotic as software developers think it is.

Don't be silly. The luminiferous aether is dark *energy*.

Seriously, once you starting talking about vacuum having curvature, geometry, pressure, energy, etc., then you pretty well have gone back to the luminiferous aether hypothesis, just with a bit better math.
