They got a less fucked world. That’s good for Germans too, and we are blessed they are big enough to make a difference.

Yes? Official records should be conserved.

I’d argue that’s exactly what happens, especially during object initialisation in C++.

I did a raytracer in BASIC on an 8-bit machine. Took two weeks and a nondescript lump of pixels was the result. But I knew it was a torus.

On the other hand the crew might get a larger share of the profits compared to the crew on container ships. Also, this is a prototype and effectively a research platform. And if you are going to build with wood, there are not many contempor

But for the time it looked OK, especially on the typical bedroom 14" CRT.

AGA was the only significant hardware revision. They should have ditched m68k too. I loved it, but with 68040 and 486, the writing was on the wall for everyone to see. By the time of Pentium, the writing was on the wall, the floors, the win

Experience but also biology. Blood is red and some people faint at the sight of blood, that can't be all attributed to experience.

Sort of, but it depends on what you mean by "perceive". They are measuring responses in the visual cortex. What you feel about that is likely also similar to most people but I bet it's another layer in the brain doing that

I don’t know. With QAnon people in Congress (M. Greene) I wonder if the tide can be stemmed. Or was it always this bad?

I think it would loose something else then. That wonder and awe you can get when you get just a glimpse of something.

Maybe I’m a cynic, but I take as a given that the incredibly wealthy will always (in aggregate) wield their power in a way which has little regard for society as a whole. I’m open to suggestions about what can be done to improve things. May

To a minority but highly influential group of Christians, it doesn't matter that Trump is all these things. He's still the Anointed who does Gods work, perhaps without knowing it himself. You just can't win with arguments. (T

I think that might be Tex (or LaTex). But maybe OP referenced all the Word papers out there?

Germany also had huge problems getting fuel for anything, really. They used a lot of horses for artillery. Building a huge number of tanks may not have worked out for them. When they couldn't reach Soviet oil fields, it was over.

Not disagreeing with you regarding dogs, you could have been describing mine. But I also find that when they really want something, they are more cunning and improvising. More than once have I got the feeling he just waits for me to leave s
