Hey here's a thought: let's get rid of all the laws requiring single-unit detached housing. That should open up some new housing in places people want to live.

Everyone's morals are affected by their paycheck, unfortunately.

As far as I understand, the line gets even blurrier then that. Apparently quiet a lot of the subsections of your brain do things that can be interpreted as conciseness, but we experience it as one unified thing.

I actually think your brain is the first thing to succumb to fever damage, no? Still, quality cartoon.

I've bounced off GitHub more than once trying to figure out how to download the .exe file that I assumed must be somewhere. Honestly I still don't understand the interface and I've submitted bug reports for Jeroba on there. I might have even used GitHub for a project once? Every time I look at it it's overwhelming and confusing and none of it is self-explanatory. But, that's fairly true for a lot of stuff in programming.

In case you haven't been to a library in a while (yes I know this post is a joke) they do way more than just books these days. Depending on the library you'll get music, movies, videogames, computers, photography equipment, 3D printers, laser cutters, audio visual equipment, recording studios, meeting rooms, and probably other shit I'm forgetting about. Smaller libraries are obviously more likely to stick to the basics, but my suburban library where I used to live had nearly everything I mentioned.

Without knowing the numbers, it's impossible for me to make a judgment call on the release, but it's important to remember that literally everything around you is radioactive. Just because the water has measurable amounts of radioactive material in it does not mean it's unsafe. Ocean water is 3 parts per billion uranium, and yet people happily eat ocean fish.

Again, without knowing the numbers I can't say for sure, but depending on what's in the water (and how much there is) it very well could be entirely fine to dump it.

In any case, yeah I totally agree. It's a publicity stunt.

Programming languages are build around the standard keyboard. Keyboards had most of the symbols you're thinking of from their typewriter days. You can see most of the special characters in these small typewriters from the mid 1900s.

With things like electric Wheel Writer typewriters, adding extra keys and symbols were less of a complexity issue and you started to see a few more extra symbols.

Recognize that there never has been a hard standard for layouts and symbols, just the industry copying and converging on systems that became popular.

You vastly over estimate the willingness of people to learn how a computer works.

That's it! I'm getting shit-faced!
