I did that for my mobile hotspot. No one got it :(

Cotton Lane: because this used to be cotton fields, one of the major agriculture crops of Arizona

Prison: because when this prison was built, it was like 25 miles west of town, now it’s continuous city well past this point

Surprise: a western suburb of Phoenix

Zoo: wildlife world zoo, a private zoo with too small cages and little in the way of habitat for the animals.

Trailers: because the Phoenix area is a trailer park that somehow grew up into a city.

It looks like a partially disassembled head band from some cheap gaming headphones. Image searches won’t find it because the metal shouldn’t be visible in the actual product.

You just don’t get 11 dimensional particle physics. I was actually into it up until that point. As soon as they pulled that shit, I would have quit but wanted to finish for our book club discussion.

People forget that there’s already a breakdown of the US between the country and state levels. The federal district courts divide the country into 11 districts. This effectively means there are groups of states where court precedence equates to different interpretations on the same laws.

So if something were to divide the country this map might make a good breakdown. It’s not very geographically regional, but few state borders are.

The bullshit is that the title of the post and the title of the graph are very different. Just because it’s heavily searched recently would not make it a favorite. Favorites don’t have to be searched, you already have it written down on an index card from the 90’s. You copied it from your grandmother who got it off a pie tin in the 70’s.

They didn’t used to. It used to be when a game made back its R&D costs it would get a price cut. The current management is ruining Nintendo.

That cafe run is a break from whatever misery requires so much caffeine.

There’s a whole lot of 2-sided tape in all cars these days. It does a great job preventing shit from rattling till the warranty expires. But most manufacturers have learned to limit that to internal or underside things because the heat and cold extremes on external bits age that foam tape real quick.

Childhood happiness was centered around Christmas, or maybe a family trip to a place like Disneyland. I was generally happy as a kid, except for the times dealing with school bullies. Nothing in my childhood compared to the absolute giddiness of seeing my wife in her wedding dress for that first look, nor the pure joy of realizing for the first time just how much I love my children.

This is how they had to dress. Even the cashiers and cooks had to be business casual. And they had to buy the uniforms out of their wages.

Today they wouldn’t be able to afford to, but that’s what stagnant minimum wage and soaring corporate profits has gotten us.

Sketchers as a daily shoe lasts me about 4 months. I like the fit and comfort, but their durability is terrible. Sometimes it’s the outer parts just coming unglued, many times it’s the padding inside wearing through despite my thick socks.

In this economy they were probably just being contrarian to get another free meal and some more pocket change.

Dammit I was thinking of Iwata and didn’t check my tired thoughts and just dropped the most famous Nintendo name my brain came up with. Apologies.

When Miamoto Iwata died, Nintendo just had to stay the course. They were never dominant, but they were ubiquitous and everyone enjoyed their products. Now the new guys don’t even play games, and the switch 2 price point is ridiculous, and they never fixed the issue with the joy con sticks, and prices never drop like they used to. You can’t count on new leadership being capable of continuing success, even when all they have to do is keep things on the exact same course.

Funny, I have the opposite complaint about Fallout 4. In what is supposed to be a nuclear wasteland of a city where everyone is struggling to keep their small communities going, there are just too many people in such a small space to make this feel real. I liked Fallout 3 and New Vegas more because the world was properly empty, but still had so many things to discover.

In programming you declare variables. To keep it simple let’s say there are only 2 types, numbers and words.

Now 1 is obviously a number, and ‘word’ is obviously a word. If I ask you to divide 100 by ‘word’ you’d have to tell me that’s not possible.

Now what if a say divide 100 by the “word” ‘10’? Well I’m a strongly typed programming language, you’d have to tell me “well, because you defined it with the single quotes, that’s actually a word so you can’t do math on it.” In a loosely typed language you’d be like “yeah I get that ‘10’ meant the number 10 so I’ll do the math.

This creates amusing weirdness in loosely typed languages, especially when they use math operators to represent word actions. For instance JavaScript is infamously loosely typed and uses the + sign to join words together so if I say ‘Java’ + ‘Script’, I get back ‘JavaScript’. So all the following are true in JavaScript:

1+1=2 1-1=0 ‘1’+1=11 because the ‘1’ makes it think you want to join words and it converts the second number 1 to a word ‘11’-1=10 because there’s no word operation applied to the minus sign, so it converted the word ‘11’ to a number

There’s lots of other tomfoolery, but I’m trying to keep the explanation simple. But any mixing of words and numbers in a strongly typed language would just give you an error.

I’m with the top reply of this thread, you don’t need strong typing if you understand what the code does.

Starts out great but quickly goes through the SyFy cost cutting machine that turns it into trash. If you have the willpower, just watch the first season. But no one does and you’ll watch a great concept fall apart. The best part is the ideas for a better story that it’ll spark in your own head.

One thing to remember is that Batman is crazy. He doesn’t consider himself Bruce Wayne, he considers Bruce a mask he wears. He is Batman. Superman calls him Bruce to try to keep him grounded, but he’s already lost it. For Bruce to develop and have friends and a personal life, he has to first get past his need to be Batman. His psychosis keeps him from moving forward.

Spiderman totally deserves a break though. That kid puts himself through hell out of guilt. But for him to stop torturing himself he has to forgive his mistakes and guilt over Ben. He can still be Spiderman after that, so I’m all for it.

The ten vehicles were fully funded through private donations.

Those private donations could have done better, but at least it wasn’t tax dollars.
