But you’re foolish to believe the Bin Laden raid into Pakistan was any less internationally criminal than the attack into Caracas.

There’s a big difference between kidnapping the president of a country and kidnapping somebody who is internationally wanted and who the country in question denies harbouring.

Sure, both are violations of international law, but one is easy more serious than the other.

That quote is often misattributed to Voltaire, but it’s actually by Kevin Alfred Strom, an American neo-Nazi who pled guilty to possession of CSAM in 2008.

Remember that Fortran has an arithmetic if statement. You can write

IF (expression) s1, s2, s3

where s1, s2 and s3 are labels. If the expression is negative, it jumps to s1. If it’s 0, to s2 and if it’s positive, to s3.

It also has goto variable. You can do

INTEGER a
ASSIGN 20 TO a
ASSIGN 17 TO a
GO TO a
20 PRINT *, "foo"
17 PRINT *, "bar"

and it’ll print “bar”. In this snippet of code, everything seems quite logical, but imagine debugging spaghetti code written using these patterns.

Oh, it also has

GO TO (s1, s2, ... , sn), N

First, N is converted to an integer. If N is 1, it goes to label s1. If N is 2, it goes to s2. If N is less than 1 or greater than n, it does nothing.

Ha, I thought a 1Hz display was a typo until I read the article - that’s the minimum display update, not the maximum: for situations when nothing’s changing on the screen to save battery life.

It’s nowhere close to that level. The GOP/ MAGA has been eroding international trust in America for a while now, but realistically, everybody else is on the outside looking in, and even if America removed all women’s rights, including the right to vote, or annexed Panama, all that would happen would be strongly worded protests and further political isolation of America from the rest of the world.

Nobody wants to fight a war against the USA, and barring something cataclysmic like an invasion of Mexico, nobody wants to sanction the largest market in the world.

TL;DR: America would have to become much poorer or much weaker before anybody does anything.

Billionaires spending craptons of money convincing poor people that even poorer people are their enemy is never good for the world.

Counterpoint: Alice Weidel

He should slowly develop his resistance to bullets, starting with air rifle and then small calibre rounds.

Yep, and this guy is one form of “resistance”. But doesn’t reporting the squatter to the police count as “resistance” as well? Surely you don’t need to hire private goons to chuck them out?

Fentanyl is a debuff.

Interesting. I use Firefox for everything and haven’t had any issues. Maybe I’m just not that picky?

As others have said, what on earth does your gender have to do with your choice of hobby? If you would like to do needlepoint but don’t because you’re worried that it’s unmanly, you’re an insecure little…

Anyway, candle making would be my hobby if one didn’t end up making candles in the process. Bread making is perfect in that sense. I love my loaves.

But how about jewellery making? Fire, molten metal, precision…
