If I understand your pipe function correctly - it takes an init value and a series of functions that map a type T to the same type T - then this should do it. function pipe<T>(init: T, ...ops: ((x: T) => T)[]): T{ let r:T =

Yep, bolt cutter would go through that aluminum like butter; or use a car jack or long lever to bend it in half. A layer of this on top of steel bar would help guard against power tools. My bike lock already has a rubberized coating; embed

You can't just pay your amazon bill with it; that creates a paper trail. The feds could subpoena Amazon to find you. You can only pay other dark web denizens, and only if you trust them not to use it for something subpoena-able.

I didn't understand why people cried when John Lennon died; they didn't even know him, right? Then when I heard Elliot Smith died and I had to pull over for a while and I got it.

We're soaking in a stew of hormones and chemicals that change the functioning on the machine. I'm not likely to have the same reactions after lunch that I had before lunch, or consistency from yesterday to today.

I'll admit I came in expecting "Aliens" and was deeply disappointed. Even in retrospect, the movie might be good commentary, but it doesn't have good characters or good storytelling.
