Gotta punish those neurons. Little bastards must be made to learn one way or another

Some emperor this is. He actually needs to tell his courtiers to show some appreciation for his new set of clothes.

It means that everyone else is grossed out and doesn’t eat the donuts. See who comes along and eats all the leftover donuts at their leisure. There’s your culprit

“Let’s just reverse that curse that was just put on our city,”

You can’t just reverse it! Got an Uno reverse card on you ? Thought not. As the man said, “it is done”. The only way to undo this kind of thing is the Scottish Play Technique

Am I missing something here, or does the whole iced coffee thing not just amount to the question of whether you should take food or drink to an interview?

If someone brings a half eaten big mac to an interview, that’s not creating the best impression. It doesn’t suggest they are taking the interview very seriously. Same goes for iced coffee, popcorn, red bull or whatever. You could make the case that some “professionalism” norms are inherently racist (no doubt they are mostly arbitrary rules made up by white men), but I’m at a loss as to how this particular one might be. It is just that we should do away with the whole concept of professionalism and just say anything goes in the workplace? I’m not convinced that would go well.

EDIT: Just for clarity I’m not saying it should be a deal breaker either. Only that you could reasonably expect to make a better impression without an iced coffee than with one.

I’m sure if anyone else builds without the proper permission they have the authority to bring that to a halt. Even if they had no legal basis to stop the construction, they could deny them some other permission, like not giving them a high speed internet connection or limiting water access. No way something like this goes ahead without full cooperation from the government.

My guess is they’ve been discussing the need for a big false flag incident to rally support. He probably just felt like mentioning some possible venues to sound out the audience.

At least 19 of the 40 people faced denaturalization proceedings for reasons related to accusations of lying on visa forms.

They just included about 50% dangerous criminals that they can point to as examples, to head off any criticism. That percentage is going to shrink to near zero very quickly. Large scale denaturalization of undesirable races and political dissidents coming soon.

Nope. One more downgrade like that and the collapse of the solar system will be 88 billion years in the past. It’ll collapse before it even formed, and none of this mess will have happened in the first place. Come to think of it, that doesn’t sound so bad. Since it precedes the big bang, that might help with damage limitation.

People are acting like it’s not a problem, but if we have just one more downgrade of that magnitude, we’ll be in big trouble

It would have worked so well. 2 digit timestamp gives you 15 (old)minute accuracy which is just perfect for appointments and organizing your day. Digital minutes would be a bit longer than old minutes which is fine for bus/train times etc. Digital seconds a bit shorter than old seconds which is great for timing things. I always thought a second was a wee bit longer than it ought to be anyway.

No wonder Jesus hasn’t come back. We never miss a chance to remind him of what happened last time

Ideally, I think instances ought to be something the casual user can be unaware of. Like the default experience should be instance-independent and the choice of instance should be some trivial thing that you can change on a whim carrying your entire user identity and chat history with you. I don’t really get any functional sense of community from my instance anyway

Step 2 is dead right. Before you can proceed, we’re going to need you to make an apparently important and irreversible decision that you didn’t even want to make, based on incomplete information.

Trying to restrict iPlayer access to the UK is absurd and self defeating. There’s a huge international market who would gladly pay to watch iPlayer, but the BBC refuses to take their money. Go spend your money on a VPN instead.

Name me a country

The Force Awakens was crap but it tended to get the benefit of the doubt because there were all these mysterious threads that might be going somewhere interesting. But the problem is, JJ Abrams had no clue about where he was going with any of it. That’s unforgivable. You need some idea of the story you want to tell. Or just hire a fucking writer ffs. Plenty of people know how to tell a story, JJ Abrams just isn’t one of them. I don’t want to let Rian Johnson off the hook but it was already on a bad trajectory before he crashed it into the ground.
