I mean, that is exactly what has happened…

Does that thing have a big turntable under there somewhere? Because from the photo, it looks like it can shoot in exactly or almost exactly the direction the rails happen to be pointing, and if you need to shoot somewhere more than two or three degrees to either side, you’re SOL…

After googling around for a bit, and then switching to duckduckgo instead (Google becomes aggressively unhelpful as soon as you have words like “ejaculated” in your query. Duckduckgo does the same thing, just not quite so much.), it seems the book in question might be “The tenant of Wildfell Hall” by Emily Brontë.

Or maybe he died.

Generally yes, but what’s shown here isn’t, it only looks a bit like it if you ignore the clearly spelled out context.

I think those fairies are called “black market organ dealers”.

This is something that has been occasionally happening in Europe (at least in Germany, don’t know about France) for well over 10 years now. Probably more like 15.

What’s sorely needed at this point is much more storage to make this energy available when it is needed instead of when it isn’t. Before that happens, you cannot really decommission any gas or coal power plants, because you still need them during times of much less renewable production.

That’s weird, I could have sworn it was supposed to represent masturbation…

und ich hab nichts gesagt.

Going by what OP thinks “Chaotic Evil” means for sysadmins, they have clearly never heard of BOFH.

Writing good comments is an art form, and beginner programmers often struggle with it. They know comments mostly from their text books, where the comments explain what is happening to someone who doesn’t yet know programming, and nobody has told them yet that that is not at all a useful commenting style outside of education. So that’s how they use them. It usually ends up making the code harder to read, not easier.

Later on, programmers will need to learn a few rules about comments, like:

• Assume that whoever reads your code knows the programming language, the platform and the problem domain at least in general terms. You are not writing a teaching aid, you are writing presumably useful software.
• Don’t comment the obvious. (Aside from documentation comments for function/method/class signatures)
• Don’t comment what a line is doing. Instead, write your code, especially names for variables, constants, classes, functions, methods and so on, so that they produce talking code that needs no comments. Reserve the “what” style comments for where that just isn’t possible.
• Do comment the why. Tell the reader about your intentions and about big-picture issues. If an if-statement is hard to parse, write a corresponding if clause in plain English on top of it.
• In some cases, comment the “why not”, to keep maintenance programmers from falling in the same trap you already found.

You don’t need “AI” for that. All you would need is some standardized APIs for the various shops, and you could easily solve this with computer technology from 20 years ago.

Funny thing: “Hello” was actually not a common greeting until that point.

Unlike with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, with Dawkins, I would be quite surprised if he brought that up without being quite specifically asked about it…

Just a reminder of just how many lives starfleet could have saved over the years by simply introducing seatbelts…

Aw, too bad, they were working so hard on bankrupting themselves in defiance of that endless money cheat code they’ve got…

“What is the remaining market value of your car?” is a massively important question for every car owner needing to have their finances in order. New cars depreciate faster than old ones, expensive cars depreciate faster than cheap cars. It is said that, when you buy a brand-new luxury sedan, just the simple act of driving it off of the lot will cost you easily 5000 dollars.

If you are not even allowed to sell your car, its market value at that point in time is effectively zero dollars. Keep that in mind when deciding what to buy.

Also, the CIA panel is missing the part where they overthrew a small country in the process.

Last part is highly topical again…
