You just reminded me - somewhere I’ve got a video of my oldest kid seeing his first fireworks. Don’t think he was even toddling yet, and his grandmother was holding him.
I don’t think he even has any memories of her when she was still lucid, I need to dig that out!
I wish the news orgs would have used the pronunciation of the letters based on what they ostensibly stood for, rather than the meme.
Just seems like calling them “Doggy” every time would have changed how much leeway people gave them.
Yeah, I see a lot of people claiming that - but does the Bible make that claim?
Here’s how the serpent was cursed:
Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.
I don’t see Satan going on his belly, bruising our heels, or getting his head bruised! How did he escape a curse placed by God? Or is this just the snake’s origin story too? I’m not going to claim the serpent might not have been put up to it, but I don’t see Satan himself making an appearance here.
As I recall the story, the tempter was only ever identified as the Serpent. They were even cursed to always go on their belly afterwards, which I don’t recall Satan doing.
Depending on your mythology, Satan might have instigated that; but I don’t think it was ever established in the story
As I understand it, most adult content producers aren’t actually interested in having minors using their sites. It seems like the easiest thing to do would be to have them add some “Adult Material” flag in their metadata, and let consumers respond as they wish to that tag - whether that’s done through browser settings, router nannyware, or whatever.
Is there a technical reason this isn’t what’s being pushed for? I’m sure there’s lobbying and “optics” reasons for not doing this, but is there any practical reason for not pursuing this, or something like it?
Ahh… Always felt like that was a parody or callback, and never figured it out!

So I’m not bothered by the inconsistent scale… but why is there a dinosaur peeking through the bottom of the 1889 column?!
The idea is that your services run on remote systems without regard for what those systems are (as a VM, docker image, etc.) Your architecture is decoupled from theirs - you can run on an Amazon host one week, and a server in your closet the next.
And as a bonus, systems hosted this way are often harder to scrape as they’re all structured differently. Additionally, you can (and should!) take additional measures to protect your data from your provider - something that just can’t be done when the provider controls the data architecture.

On the other hand, show me a universe you made, and I’ll be impressed!
No mention of an eighth day in that story - we’re still in the “god rested” day!
They can add that label to the prisoners, sure
Worked for a payday loan company for a while about a decade back. Supposedly one of the better ones to borrow from, and they always said internally it was about getting the customers financial options - but still didn’t feel great. Stuck with it for four years or so though.
Now I’ve got kids, and they like to know what their parents do. Had to job hunt last half of last year, and skipped several nice positions at big places because of what they do. Landed a position at a local place for less than I wanted, but the perks and culture make up for it. And I’m happy to tell my kids where I am.
My wife knew what the first place was about, and she accepted it even if neither of us was wild about it. But these days, we like to be role models - makes a big difference.
I’m not gonna judge what someone else might stoop to to feed their kids.
I’m lucky enough to be in a position where I can be picky - not everyone gets to say that
Hah, we did rent a rather nice one, and she’s doubled down since!
I don’t think it’s about the functionality, the idea of it offends her
Someone mentioned elsewhere that the principal did get hit
Minivan was actually my first car, a hand-me-down from my parents! Got me most of the way through college. We need the room now too, but my wife is strongly opposed :p
Are you wanting to code to make a game, or is it about coding itself?
In the former case, there’s a number of good game engines that will let you bypass a lot of the low-level complexity. A lot of studios use these, so it’s not like you’re “cheating” to use these. Game modding might also be an option, if you just feel a need to make something.
In the latter case, find a language you enjoy, and start small, find good guides, etc - sounds like you might be already doing some of this! But if a voice is whispering that a game is in order… might be worth grabbing Godot or something to play with anyway!
Like others are saying, they’ll have done just enough math to make a convincing presentation. For them, it’s about the performance to create a perception of potential success, not about actual success.
