It's been a while, but I've written some Fortran 77. I changed the value of 4 long ago. Sorry, everyone.

It's irreversible in that it's a pain in the ass, so they would prefer to not help.

It's reversible in that other forces (e.g. negative publicity) can be greater than the pain in the ass.

her expecting me to read her mind and magically know how to please her in every way, (a very long list), was always a factor.

oh, so by dating you mean watched 80's comedians all day . got it.

No, it means there are communication problems, which is far more common and cliche than even 1980s comedians.

Not getting any sunlight until past 10.00 AM is so annoying,

Well not getting any sun past 4:30 in the afternoon is also so annoying.

Gosh, it's almost as though people in different geographic areas have different needs and desires. If I didn't know HOW IMPORTANT it is that we all be forced to do everything the same, I would suggest that timezones be regional, agreed upon by local governments. But of course that's heresy since not every local government would make the exact same choices.

If the governor wants New Yorkers to be able to get cheap RAM at AI bankruptcy auctions, shouldn't they build the datacenters now?

If you wait a year to give permission, the bubble will have popped long before any hardware ever gets shipped, so the bankruptcy auction won't have anything to sell.

It occurs to me that I had an advantage over kids today, in that there were different forces at play, such that I had to take tests in classrooms, so it was either learn shit or get a bad grade. I don't think of the forces that put me into classrooms as all that exceptional, but I think the young 'uns really do have one really unusual one, that I (as well as my parents' generation, now that I think of) just, somehow, skipped right over.

You see, back in my day, we did a lot less of this ..

Quite a few students had expressed anxiety about being in a classroom after a gunman killed two students and injured nine

.. and instead we just let the ever-pending horror of nuclear war terrify us. And the neat thing about nuclear war, is that someone is going to hatefully and gruesomely murder you no matter where you where you are, so a classroom isn't really all that different than home.

I'm wondering, what can we do to help younger people be terrified out of their minds all the time instead of just in common-sense situations like crowds? We need to help them understand that they're safe nowhere, so they're not-particularly-unsafe anywhere, so they can show the fuck up and take exams.

Why?

Even if you could do that effectively, wouldn't that further entrench the idea that The People are the government's bitch

Sounds like a textbook example for why layoffs are a thing.

I can't even say if you're right or wrong. How do we determine these amounts?

If you take your employer's work home with you, that's something you're doing for your employer. They probably (assuming illegal shit isn't happening) pay you to do that.

If you take your school work home with you, that's something you're doing for yourself. You might even be paying them for it.

(Sorry, I didn't have time to read the headline. I only read the experimental results.)

So it looks like either infrasound attracts ghosts, or the lack of it repels them. Has anyone tried noise cancellation as a ghost-busting deterrent/defense?

These rocks are just tetrahedrite and cassiterite, officer.

All the games end up looking the same.

OMG Dwarf Fortress is getting another graphics upgrade!?!
