Literally the only thing I code in at work. Have done so for decades.

Can't stop, won't stop.

I write code every day at my job. I use vim.

It does everything I need it to do, and it works exactly the same way on every system I touch, and functions the same way since I started using it decades ago (aside from being able to use arrow keys now instead of hjkl)

If I HAVE to do any coding on Windows, I use notepad++.

... if they can design and print a case they probably already owned a 3d printer. The amount of plastic used to make the small case is likely just a few grams. Probably around $1 of plastic total.

Yes, the article is pretty light on details since it's just a rehash of a couple of comments with no actual reporting, but don't blame the person for designing and printing a neat little case for their hobby. This is a perfectly acceptable way to repair and continue to use some broken electronics.

Bush 2 wouldn't have been reelected if it wasn't for 9/11.

We wouldn't have had the patriot act.

We wouldn't have spent trillions on the wars.

There's absolutely no way we would have ended up where we are right now if it wasn't for 9/11.

Mark Rober lost me with his porch pirate booby traps.

First of all, booby traps are illegal for a reason. Second of all, a lot of it was staged and it was pretty obvious.

Ha! I loved back bear forge during my year of blacksmithing obsession!

He had racist and anti trans jokes in all his videos. I wrote them off as just innocent friendly jokes for a while, but they were in ALL his videos. I unsubbed and blocked him after I realized it was a pattern with him.

Use the subscribe feed, not the home feed to watch your videos.

Starship Troopers had the highest survival rate, so that one.

Absolutely not The Thing because you have no idea if escaping means the end of the world. You'd have to murder suicide the whole place.

Aliens... Maybe. It's survivable, but just barely. You'd probably want to hold a live grenade with the pin pulled the whole time, so you'd at least never have to be brought back to the queen.

They're TECHNICALLY still up there for political/budget reasons. If they wanted to buy a new capsule to go get them, we could.

But on the same note, ALL of the astronauts are "stuck" up there for budget/political reasons. We're not going to bring them up and down willy-nilly cause it's way too expensive. They should have come back months ago, but since they're original capsule was decided to be too risky, they pushed it back to the next available SpaceX capsule.

Elon is both arguing for an INCREASE in funding to go get them now (which is far too late, we wouldn't be able to safely prep and send a mission to get them back sooner), but also DECREASE funding for the ISS. Just whatever gets him attention and more numbers in his Forbes ranking.

Old enough games can be emulated and run just fine. There's already emulators for everything, Sony could build their own and just embed the game inside and it wouldn't be much bigger than most other games.

I think it has more to do with license than technical issues.

Curious why he didn't start with one of the Parameterized "Waterproof" boxes.
