Eh. Good C programmers know what's safe and what's not. Often comments call out sketchy stuff. Just because it's not a language keyword, doesnt mean it's not called out. Bad C programmers though? Their stuff is more

Similar here. It doesnt have to be all or nothing. Im in the u.s. and have a cool local co-op. So i buy most commodities at the cheapest grocery store and then some fancy stuff at the co-op to help them stay afloat and support local farm

Actually read it. Theyre just going to hoard what they keep from criminal confiscations and not buy. So crypto bros are disappointed. More inept communications by an inept administration.

Ive run chromium and firefox side by side for years to isolate personal from work. The only noticeable difference is Chromium crashes when it uses all the memory. People's overwhelming fascination with Chrome escapes me. Some subtle

It'a funny. I always thought of the ADL as having a hair-trigger, over-blaming. Then this happened and I can't figure out if they're just trying to survive? If they're more interested in protecting certain groups than
