Comment Re:Once More el Bunko strikes (Score 1) 47

This just in, part of the investment group of Paramount/Skydance is......ta da.....Jared Kushner, who is backed by the Arab Gulf regimes. So el Bunko is sticking his dick into the Netflix deal so he can benefit Kushner. And that's not the only property they want, they want CNN as well.

This would leave major media companies controlled by Arabs. Netflix is an American company. el Bunko will have many avenues for accepting "tribute" for all his "hard" work.

Comment Once More el Bunko strikes (Score 2, Insightful) 47

Ellison's sprog is an el Bunko favorite, a right-wingnut. So naturally, el Bunko figures he can destroy the Netflix deal and throw the remains to Ellison's sprog, for which there will be a trail of bread crumbs back to his pockets. He never does anything except for himself.

Simply stated, the psychological industry has a monetary profit motive in getting more people on daily maintenance medicine. Each person on a daily maintenance medicine means 2 to 4 office visits per year allowing a psychologists to have a steady stream of paying customers.

This is much cheaper than actually going through the labor intensive process of psychoanalysis, so insurance companies like it.

Modern C++ is a seriously powerful and fast - albeit perhaps too complicated - language without all the gotchas of older C++ and plain C.

Modern C++ didn't get rid of the gotchas, it just added more of them. It's fine if you're working by yourself, but you can't prescribe what features other people will use (including the writers of libraries you want to use). But old C++ was fine when working by yourself too.

You can add types to your variables in Python. You can use typescript with Javascript.

You can also introspect your types in Ruby, so his point is moot.

There is also the question of why you would add type checking to a dynamic language: if you don't want a dynamic language, why did you choose one? But the reality is most of us don't choose languages anymore, we choose libraries and have to accept whatever language they are attached to.

A lot of lawyers prefer checks because a signed check is proof of intention. Not only is it signed, it often has a "reason" memo written.

This can also work in behalf of the person writing the check (in court). For example, if you pay your rent by check, the landlord shows the intent to accept it when they deposit the check. Whereas if you pay with direct deposit, the landlord can claim they had no intention to accept the money.

The drug's commercial name is Leqembi, and it's drug name is Lecanemab (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecanemab).

And la Presidenta is probably on it. The problem with his right hand is likely caused by the intravenous application. And the newly installed signs around the WH are what you do for Alzheimer's patients so they do not get themselves lost. His rage posts at all hours of the night indicates someone who is up all night, another symptom of that drug. The people in his "Dear Leader" cabinet meetings treat him like an Alzheimer's patient because that is what is normally done for an Alzheimer's patient, i.e. bombard him with constant happy talk lest he go bonkers in front of them, or worse, in front of cameras which would cause people to ask his cabinet embarrassing questions such as "Is he nuts or are you?"

The problem with you Maggots is that you refuse to realize what is right in front of you. With la Presidenta, his behavior has always been so stupid that it is sometimes hard to distinguish from mental degeneration. And what happens to the Maggots once Dear Leader goes 'round the twist? Answer: deny he's mentally incapacitated because Project 2025 can still supply him with stupid shit to sign, which is indistinguishable from the stupid shit he would normally come up with. He's just a useful idiot who thinks he's president.
