Oh, cool, so I can get cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, celery seed, cayenne, caraway, cloves, cumin, and... uhhhh... nutmeg?

This, please. I mostly use it for debugging code, at this point, but it would be a good creative outlet to do some community stuff.

Rollerblading is pretty achievable, still, but I'm definitely not going in for wheels that are not physically attached to my body.

I can't deny it. He's a wholesome giant.

Your bank runs on COBOL and your energy plants run on one of a family of PLC (programmable logic controller) languages. Most of the critical path in your day-to-day that runs C is the gaping security hole that is the internet.

They did, it's called rustc. A compliant C compiler cannot escape giving a programmer unfettered access to manipulate memory, so the problem is not in the compiler. There are safe subsets of C that don't exhibit these problems, but a compiler that only supports such a subset is no longer a C compiler.

Please, General Secretary, my people yearn for beanis. Save us from this uniquely odious form of badposting.

_Gamer_a, "friend to children"? Curious.

I'm going to do the "bad take based on reading only the headline" thing:

Their accursed walled garden

Our holy user protection fence

IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!

This is blatant Frogros erasure and I will not stand for it. Widen your horizons beyond the Godzilla-Kong binary and cast your eyes over the Ultraman wiki.

They both had Drizzt, though in BG1 he's more of a "your party must be this strong to ride" kind of test than anything interesting.

I only wanted to play a second time because there was a quest I finished but could never turn in in the first area because events transpired when I took a nap one time.

PS:T is True Kino Gaming. I wish Tides of Numenera had captured the magic in the same way, but it scratches a similar itch if you like very narrative heavy games.

The resulting cybernetic arms would only be capable of autoerotic asphyxiation, and even that wouldn't be intentional. I guess if you get lucky it might fall apart before it manages a Full Carradine, but that's not the kind of risk that makes it into my gooncave.

And yet you both wear the fascist coat. Curious.

Pedantically, this is a counterfactual. A hypothetical is an imagined future flowing from a given present, but a counterfactual is an imagined future flowing from an imagined past. 🤓

Thought Internalized: Homo-Sexual Underground

One of my keenest childhood associations is mint ice cream and antibiotics, so I hope it works well for you. I haven't had antibiotics in a while so I don't have immediate recs for a vegan one, but I think all the brands I can get around here have at least one mint variety. If you find a good one let me know!

Yes, it's very simple: call them out on their racism, then refuse to speak to them until they fix their shit. There are already people I can talk to who aren't absolutely cooked with racist brainworms and CIA propaganda, I sure as hell don't need to make special cutouts for people who share an extra percentage point of DNA.

Mint ice cream. Works every time.

Zootopia:

this bunny cop kinda nice with it, tho -->

racism boils at the heart of the modern city state, transforming even altruistic motivations and friendships forged in adversity into tools of the oppressor through alienation and manipulation <-- 👀

I was trying to figure out if the treat printer was doing a colorism, but every single picture I could find seemed edited to evoke the particular strain of racial animus required for the accompanying headline so I remain unsure.

GTA 6, as long as any non-white protagonists have "escape the systemic oppression of my ethnic community by becoming more like my white crime friends and don't make a big deal out of them using slurs around me" as their character arc.

State-funded re-education programs: genocidal gommulism

This ad for whichever tech company takes credit: SO TRUE

Algebra is the great innovation of humankind, prove me wrong.

It's actually Brum's fork of ptfd, a utility for interacting with pseudo-TTY file descriptors.

Where's a magic bullet when you really need one? (I need to make a smoothie)

I'm already writing Scala, Kotlin feels like it'd be a lateral or even negative move. 😄 I'd be curious to see what some nontrivial Spark in Kotlin looks like, though.

Curses, the Dual Power Rangers have caused the rate of profit to fall!

The qualifier "especially good" excludes Python. Static typing would be preferred, but not required.

Is there anything especially good that's strongly typed? Spark is fine, but I'm one of 5 people I've ever encountered who's actually using the typed dataset APIs or leaning into type safety as a feature, and doing so puts me at odds with basically every book anyone learning Spark is likely to read.

Roger is pretty much my exact type as far as genderqueer tough twinks goes. I'll be very sad to see you all at his funeral next week.

If you are a programmer, you have like 15 answers to this question per programming language. Lots of very smart people who get high on their own supply and speed run to crankdom.

I once tried to count the total number of time travel trips in the Back to the Future series, and I'm pretty sure there's a strong argument that they took 14 trips at 88mph. Curious.

A group of coddled faux-elites with so little exposure to serious work that they could never sympathize with union organizers? They are the grease between the vampires and the zeks, keeping a solid buffer between those with power by fiat and those with power in fact.

Jet fuel can't melt real cheese!

Open up, it's the magical UN. Drink your butterbeer and stop thinking about how a TERF has used a potion that can literally change your gender as a central plot point in multiple books!
