Geez. US oil is fracked, which means that to get out of the microscopic fissures in the rocks only the lighter stuff comes out. This makes excellent gasoline. By the way, this is also why we've become a CH4 power house. Unfortunately,

The petrodollar was never about access to Saudi oil. Even when we imported large amounts of oil, we also produced a lot and we had very many different suppliers. The petrodollar was about creating a massive market for USD despite us having

Yes because it is a breach to the principle of jurisdiction and it's ultimately based on American imperialism. Mind you, Id gladly have pedos and banana execs shot in public.

O dunno if it's the greatest, but it's good enough that thanks to it Linux became my desktop. Maybe there's a better distribution? But who has time to explore? Thanks Debian team!

Im not a CS guy, so I dont know what "first class" means. I can do whatever to a function. I can use it as an argument. I can return it from another function. I can make a function that modifies functions. All that w/out doin

The HP engineers were good. First HP engineers made RPL, then they attended Sussman and Abelson's intro to CS class. I think Sussman once said that, if RPL had anonymous functions it'd be a perfect lisp. They were real good. http

Sci hub is so good. Im a university partner and have accesses to a top research uni's library. I use Sci hun because logging into Elsevier is a massive PIA.

No, I think it will also include a smattering of Englishmen, a score of Germans and (maybe) a guy with a mechanical engineering degree who dedicated his career to washers.

Dont bother, it sucks. The duck is still trying to fly a certain way and you're really just tugging at him. If you want to try it out just run Duck Hunt on an emulator. You dont need a crt to just play with the duck

That's inevitable. Management knows they're too big to fail.

This is very cool, but I have a thought - I see this as a last line of defense, and I am concerned that this would this give a false sense of security leading people to be more reckless with secrets.

Ya and it's insane. My college for a project bought dozens of fire detectors from the 70s to take the Am out (they had more than todays) for a project. Of course, he had to take the necessary license before he started that project.

? The reason no one wants to take the bus or subway in America is not because they are undignified but because they smell like piss. Unlike the buses in Switzerland which are great. In fact, despite the smell of urine, I used to love Atlant
