In that case, wouldn't it correctly be conjugated as 'In animō apparati iacet victoria'? I haven't touched Latin since boyhood so I'm likely completely wrong, but I am eager to understand this.

I am so unabashedly excited for this to happen. I don't care about the habitual cynics. My only apprehension is that the director will try to relieve the absurdity by making it comedic, when the best way to handle it is to just have it

Haha I know this wasn't intended as a joke, but this answer made me burst out laughing. Very true! On the other hand, that's not such an easy problem for humans to solve either

You're getting downvotes from the people who don't know that you are 100% right: goto is usually with labels , not line number, for exactly the reason you point out. This Gist is still super cool, though.

You are right that it is not 100% true, but it is mostly true. The US uses corn syrup because the US government heavily subsidizes corn. Some Mexican producers in Mexico do use corn syrup, which is a cheap import from the US, but even here

I think IDA's 'killer feature' over Ghidra is supposed to be the debugger. Not disagreeing, I am a Ghidra user myself, just that's the reason I usually see proffered in the Ghidra/IDA flamewar.

Good. Rentals charge 2 months rent and a deposit. The only reason I can afford housing is because of airbnb. It's the only place I can find housing that doesn't do that BS. That's here in Merida, at least. I wish the rental m
