paholg,

Many people who are born go on to have children of their own. So a single pregnancy can lead to generations and generations of deaths!

Study reveals "widespread, bipartisan aversion" to neighbors owning AR-15 rifles (www.psypost.org)

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes. This surprising consensus suggests that when it comes...

paholg,

It says “a leading cause”, not “the leading cause”. Depending on how long your list of leading causes is, anything could qualify.

I skimmed the source they linked, and it lists guns as the leading cause of death for ages 1-19. I did not see an overall list.

I would agree that a more carefully phrased sentence would have been better and less misleading.

paholg,

That is irrelevant. If Trump’s behavior would cause a regular schlub to be jailed, then he should be jailed, full stop. That’s how the law is supposed to work.

paholg,

What does fried food have to do with requiring low sodium?

paholg,

It is a stretch when you’re hearing from that person directly.

paholg,

Don’t worry, the same thing happened to Homer Simpson. Presumably, it could happen to anyone.

paholg,

I pay for YouTube. I’m mildly optimistic that this won’t make it into the paid version, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if it does.

I’ve already had to cancel Amazon Prime after they made the base tier have ads, but continued to show ads after paying extra for ad-free.

paholg,

If physics taught you that 1 = pi, you may want to retake some classes.

paholg,

No, you see, it’s only antisemitism when you oppose genocide.

paholg,

Aluminum is the fifth most common element on Earth, and is naturally present in pretty large quantities in soil.

Are you sure you aren’t confusing it with lead?

paholg,

If you were as confused by this as I was:

Shortly after the vote, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said it would sue the FTC to block the rule

The US Chamber of Commerce is a right-wing lobbying group for businesses, unrelated to the US Department of Commerce which is an actual government agency.

paholg,

No, sorry. Ethically, this technology can only be used for torture.

Meanwhile, in the US, going 74 mph in a 25 and killing someone? No consequences as long as you’re a cop.

paholg,

No, that’s the point of the comment you’re responding to. It’s painfully obvious that the bugs have no way to fling asteroids into the Earth, and the only “evidence” that it was the bugs is in-universe propaganda.

You can make the most over-the-top satire in the world, and people still won’t get it.

paholg,

Calculus.

Hardware cloth is a metal mesh.

Seattle minimum wage is $19.97 and it goes up every year. Though it’s $17.25 for small businesses if you get tips or they pay for medical benefits.

paholg,

Then, you could take those comments, and have the compiler use them to ensure you’re using the right variable in the right place. Oh wait, we just invented a type system.

paholg,

That was for nonworking families.

paholg,

One of my favorite lines in the game is (paraphrasing):

The problem with the bugs is that they’re relentless expansionists. We’ve found them on almost every planet in their territory that we’ve colonized.

It’s also pretty clear that we’ve been farming the bugs for space oil.

paholg,

It could be Ruby; puts is more common, but there is a print. With some silly context, the answer could even be correct:


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/usr/bin/env ruby
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">module DayLength
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  def length
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      "24 hours"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    else
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      super
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    end
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  end
</span><span style="color:#323232;">end
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">class String
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  prepend DayLength
</span><span style="color:#323232;">end
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">day = "Monday"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">x = day.length
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">print(x)
</span>
paholg,

Works even better in Ruby, as the code as given is valid, you just need to monkey patch length:


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/usr/bin/env ruby
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">module DayLength
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  def length
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      "24 hours"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    else
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      super
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    end
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  end
</span><span style="color:#323232;">end
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">class String
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  prepend DayLength
</span><span style="color:#323232;">end
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">day = "Monday"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">x = day.length
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">print(x)
</span>
paholg,

Ah yes, I’ll just replace all my power sockets, get rid of all my electronics, and only buy imported European electronics from now on.

It’s so obvious, why didn’t I think of it before.

Oh yeah, and rewire my whole house to 240 V. Easy peasy.

paholg,

Use soy milk to make it a 4 bean soup.

paholg,

The Overton window has shifted so far right that basic decency or acknowledging facts is leftist.
