  Arming and funding a faction so they can take over their country, then fight a war against that same group 1-2 decades later, and America.
  Name a more iconic duo.

  A friend of mine writes code for the control systems in nuclear power plans. He told me, on average he writes 13 pages of documentation for each line of code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm sure it'll be fine!⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  RHEL 7 would have been an even better choice, though.

  Yes, actually.
  I guess I’m pretty sensitive to ads now, since I usually don’t see any at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time travelers going back in time to kill the first religion ever before it forms and fucks up humanity⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Jesus was a time traveler who tried to destroy religion and convince people all you need is to be nice to each other.
  They nailed him to a tree, and as a special “Fuck You” turned him into a new religion.

  US schools already have a hard time teaching proficiency in English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU vs USA⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I quoted it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what ignoring experts looks like.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, you’re a mod. I assume if I reported your post for obviously, blatantly being off-topic based on the rules as written, I’d get banned?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what ignoring experts looks like.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
  A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

  WHERE MEME?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do all night show hosts sit and have their desk to the left of the interviewee?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The honored guest always sits to the right of the host.
  It’s been like this in European culture since the middle ages, and possibly much longer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Appealing or circumventing the 22nd is a bridge too far, and they know it.
  That’s why the slogan is “Trump 2028”, not “Donald Trump”. They’ll run one of his sons instead.
  Because of course, that’s what they’d do.

  Like when they announced a press conference at the 4 Seasons before booking it, got denied, and held it in front of 4 Seasons Total Landscaping instead.
  All that matters is being “technically correct” so they can claim that’s what they promised in the first place.
