That does make more sense when explained that way, thank you.

Then what is the purpose of the middle steps?
Second to last also has this problem.

The image has big “Draw the rest of owl” energy.

I suppose in about 4.5 billion years the Andromedans can start committing also. (That or nobody can since it won’t be the Milky Way any more)

Rust is even easier, you probably have some you aren’t even using. Check in the bikeshed.

Good to know, thanks!

Could it just be any post that is ‘friends only’ or if the user has blocked anyone?

Sounds like it’s not systemic like Twitter or Reddit requiring logins for virtually anything.

Would be nice, but where I live less than a fifth of days in the year are sunny on average.

Use Bill Pay from your bank/credit union to mail them a check (without even paying postage yourself)

Well, actually…

That would be infuriating.

Beautifully said.

Yeah, I was writing for the perspective of someone whose votes mattered at all to begin with (which isn’t myself). Indeed the electoral college is its own catastrophe and needs to die.

Anyway, yes, the DNC is to blame. I agree.
However a part of the mechanism that helped trump win is opinions like “even if I was in a swing state there’s no way in fucking hell id be voting for a genocider” - I get it, I really do, but if I were in a swing state myself there’s no way I’d help the rapist convict even worse genocider win. There were no good options this election, but there were orders of magnitude differences between levels of bad.

I agree with most of what you said, but voting 3rd party in the general election really is mathematically equivalent to simply not voting.
And it’s worse when it’s voting 3rd party in place of voting for the least bad of the two electable parties, then (just like not voting) it’s mathematically equivalent to voting for the most bad of the two parties.

This is not an opinion. It’s how the elections are structured, and I would very much prefer a better structure, but we don’t have it and have to work with what we have.

Even in the primaries, voting 3rd party usually simply means being unable to influence the major parties - but in this case you are absolutely correct that the “primaries” were a farce.

And indeed 1F414 is a lower (hexadecimal) number than 1F95A, so in the absence of other criteria I’m sure in most systems it would sort first.

They might not know the name for the extension of alphabetical order to all characters in Unicode (and neither do I) but it’s logical to associate it with alphabetical since it’s similar in concept.

Last night when I saw this post I happened to support it at a perfect round number.

To have a chance of being made into a real set, it needs a little under 5 times that number of supporters - specifically this weird composite number 2^4 * 5^4.

This book also basically predicted cryptocurrency (but not the blockchain stuff)

That won’t tell you if the alarm app is being affected by something like doze which would only happen after the phone sits idle for hours

I don’t know any CSS (despite reading memes about it like this) but I do know that the bottom of that page has a link to something called Grid Garden

I had mine pay out via zelle, so that sweet USD$0.12 went directly to my bank account.

For the benefit of any of Today’s 10,000 I just want to point out that this is a reference to a quote from a movie.
The same movie stars Danny Trejo as Machete.
This movie is Spy Kids 2.
