Yes, but they usually came at the same price.

Yeah, if there’s a nonzero chance that legally crossing a border for short-term travel will end with you being sent to an El Salvador gulag, it ain’t worth it.

In my experience, if you didn’t write the function that creates the list, there’s a solid chance it could be None too, and if you try to check the length of None, you get an error. This is also why returning None when a function fails is bad practice IMO, but that doesn’t seem to stop my coworkers.

Kind of crazy to me that governments aren’t massively interested in hosting their own fediverse instances. It has huge appeal of providing announcements on a broader platform while also controlling your instance and still being from a .gov source.

Historically speaking, stealing Trump’s spotlight for 3 months is actually a contender for the record.

I don’t like that solution because that means Huffman walks away with a golden payday instead of losing it all.

You must not have checked any financial news lately…

The judge on the bench in this case has been insisting on Luigi wearing ankle cuffs, so there’s that for context…

They’re in the middle of a board election, all members get a vote. The union endorses none of the nominees, and suggests you vote for “none of the above”.

Hey I think I’ve seen this episode before!

The theme park ride always had Jack Sparrow as the only named character, even before the movies.

According to this study, smoking costs our economy ~0.88% of our GDP. That works out to in the ballpark of $600 per capita. Would you change your opinion if you had $600 sitting in front of you? I disagree that it’s a slippery slope, anti-vax, smokers, and overeaters cost a lot of money, and the rest of us foot the bill.

This is a news sub, not a meme sub.

I only want my meat to be raised by a cow on a feedlot while covered in manure and constantly smelling so awful, I would gag if I ever went. Then I want that cow’s greatest mental stimulation to be the one time he climbed on top of the 1 meter pile of manure and could see further than any other cow, and then proceed to stick his head back into the giant trough of corn that’s been pre-mixed with antibiotics because corn is not a natural food source for cows. That’s what meat is supposed to be, as god intended.

Back in the early days of Tesla when they still had the only cool car they ever made, the roadster, they were so proud of their near fireproof battery with lots of smaller cells. I never heard about a Roadster fire, and the first few model Ss were the safest cars on the road. I guess Elon’s “fire everyone and save money” strategy took a few years to show through.

No, this will be the AI that ignores your content and just spits out sponsored content. AI doesn’t really have to be involved much, but if it is, Google doesn’t have to pay up when you file a class action lawsuit for misleading content because they can say “It’s not our fault, thr AI did it.”

The doge website is filled with shit like “We saved a million dollars by cutting a program that feeds starving babies” and I just have to laugh. One million isn’t even enough for the average person to retire on, the government is operating at a $1.7 TRILLION deficit PER YEAR.

The government has mostly turned a blind eye to dark pattern business for years, and now the president is openly saying that he encourages it and wants companies to step up their game. Of course things are going to get worse, especially now where everyone will have forgotten this by the next election, so it’ll get to stay as “the norm”

That line is dumb, I’ll agree on that point, but you can easily filter it out, and you’ll get a much better series. I didn’t remember that line until you mentioned it. If you need to cut out major plotlines for a series to be good, then it’s a bad series. But if your series is suddenly much better by willfully forgetting a single dumb line, then let’s all collectively forget it and enjoy it more.

There was a big mystery from the beginning, they all died in the plane crash, and they were building an afterlife where they were all together. They did reveal it gradually, with a mounting number of conflicting facts.

Battlestar Galactica also had an overarching plan, that they would end up on Earth and restart the cycle.
