US, mid thirties, and I not only drive a manual transmission, I go out of my way to insist upon it. For example, I own a truck and an SUV made in the '90s because it’s difficult to find newer ones without an automatic.

It does not really generate toxic waste like coal fired power plants
It generates all the waste associated with the electricity it uses, which is often from coal fired power plants…
…says the guy who clearly doesn’t understand the geologic water cycle.
Huh, that’s the kind of thing that would just make me start visualizing how many I could fit in there.
Not for long if Lennart has anything to say about it, I’m sure.
he also gave $5MM to Sea Shepherds
Enough to get an entire ship named after him!
Edit: wait… return ! 0 ; wtf
I mean, returning non-zero exit status on error is just good practice. It even managed to evaluate to the same numerical value as EXIT_FAILURE
when I tested it on my machine (gcc 11.4.0 linux x86-64), although I’m not sure if that’s always the case or if it’s undefined behavior.
This cursed code is quite well-written.
Yes, as are n
and i
. Do they not deserve ‘fleekness?’
I have a similar issue (also Firefox on [K]ubuntu 22.04) every time I open a link on a logged-in site in a new tab, but in my case merely refreshing the page is enough to get me logged back in.
I assume is most likely the fault of the fairly aggressive mix of extensions I’m running rather than Firefox itself, but I haven’t actually tried to troubleshoot it yet.
Pro tip: the arguments to main()
don’t have to be named argc
and argv
.
Also, you forgot to #define an alias for atoi
, and number
, n
, and i
could’ve been named something more on fleek.
“Ghettos” aren’t just apartments; they’re specifically segregated (and not by the minority’s choice) and often substandard/impoverished/oppressed.
Trying to equate ghettos with mere high density is nothing but racist NIMBY bullshit.
That’s the thing that annoys me most about Duolingo: if they’re going to show you ads, the least they could do is show you ones in the language you’re trying to learn instead of your native one.
I don’t care what the excuses are; they aren’t valid.
Considering that this is new capacity, not total capacity, it’s a fucking absurd outrage that it’s anything less than 100.0%.
Every percentage point less than that represents us continuing to make the problem even worse even though we goddamn well know better!
There are lots of countries that have compulsory military service with alternatives for conscientious objectors (which is basically what you’re describing).
I agree that it’s a good idea. Moreover, it comes closer to the original meaning of that whole “well-regulated militia” thing. We should consider doing like the Swiss do: give (roughly) everybody mandatory firearms training, send them all home with an infantry standard-issue assault rifle, and then severely restrict access to ammunition except for legitimate purposes like practice at the firing range.
Jellyfin is to Plex as Lemmy is to Reddit.
It keeps track of which files you’ve played (e.g. to automatically pick the next episode in a series), it automatically downloads metadata and cover art so you have a nice browsing interface, it manages multiple profiles so that e.g. you can limit your kids’ access to only G and TV-Y or filter out genres a user doesn’t like, it lets you set parental controls to limit the amount of time watched in a day (or disable it at certain times of day), etc.
By the same argument, replacing the coal fired power plant with wind and solar wouldn’t pose a challenge either.
The point is, you’ve got to compare apples to apples: either coal power vs. desalinization powered by coal, or renewables vs. desalinization powered by renewables. In every case, the pollution produced by the desalinization process (i.e., the brine etc.) is simply added to the pollution produced by whatever means was used to generate the power for it, which means @soEZ’s attempt to compare desalinization to power generation doesn’t make much sense.
