And there is the motive. I did not guess it was a used car salesman.

“Wow, cool. How many additional HPs did I get?”

adding up calorie intake

“Two.”

I always thought it was this event that broke the internet a bit until it was resolved. However it’s hardly the only example of open source dependency on individual programmer projects, as detailed in the Explain XKCD.

It’s another example of not making assumptions in your code, and having any part of the process break gracefully when things don’t work like they should. But of course every programmer writes like that… right? cough

Reverse inflation says that 1970 dollars that would be about $5400. Don’t know how useful that is without knowing (remembering, which I don’t) the cost of things then.

On another note, the current poverty line is $15k for a single person. I can’t see how someone could afford a place to live and eat with that in most places. I guess if you share a place with a few other people.

I’ll add to the bias. I created both a kbin account and a Lemmy.one account when the migration happened. Preferred kbin’s look and feel, then changed over to mbin when Ernest started having issues. Haven’t looked back, mbin is great.

The fan of the game that spends more time in the official forums defending the company’s bad decisions than actually playing.

“WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE”

The rest of social media did to 4chan what reality did to The Onion. Both still exist, but only a pale version of before because the new versions are so much worse.

Yes, there’s some old stuff archived out there for free, but it’s very limited and hit or miss. People who have collected a decent digital archive of things you would have found in a library decades ago deserve to make some money for their service.

Don’t forget Florida trying to weaken child labor laws. MAGA. If the mine was good enough for great grandpa, it’s good enough for you.

Obscenity isn’t protected by the First Amendment

Is this the same Constitution that they’re pissing on with everything else? It most certainly does protect it. Do NOT use the “think of the children” shit when your actions towards children safety has been the complete opposite. Hell, I saw news today of further cuts being pursued for Medicare, as well as past things on cutting school lunches and of course the destruction of the DoE. You do NOT care about children, do not bring them into this.

Should have been “avoid accident’s”

Movie Aragorn may have broken his toe, but he never tripped on his sword.

To be fair, the Air Force will be stripping it down as they modify it for the needs of the office. But all it takes is one thing missed to be a huge problem. This just isn’t a great idea at all, but they knew he’d jump at it because hey, free plane that he gets to keep.

That’s a good bias to have. Situations are always different, and not only the cost or ability to catch things in time, but also the consideration of the quality of life if treatment is pursued. We had a dog and later a cat that both got diagnosed with kidney disease of some sort, both were very sudden and terrible to see an active pet turn lethargic and waste away in days or weeks. We could have thrown money at it and bought some time, but they would have been miserable with the needed operations and regular dialysis to keep them alive. The choice there was easy.

Glad to see you’re on the other side of that with something controllable and a happy companion.

Actually it’s no, then yes, and then… not illegal or stated conditionals, but come on. Every political action has some significance of benefit, even if they state “we just like you, bro”.

The aircraft normally used by the President and other high officials are more than some luxury vehicle. So is this coming with all the features of the existing 747s used, and will it be disassembled before use to make sure it’s not bugged?

Also, quid pro quo and all that. What’s the catch?

The brightest candles burn the fastest. I’ve had my share too, but they had good lives and made our lives better in that short time.

There are unfortunately some cat diseases and genetics where they don’t make it that far. Feline leukemia and diabetes are two that I’ve seen end cat lives far too early, and when they go downhill it’s both quick and tragic to see them change. A typical cat who is cared for will definitely make it past 15.
