I’m not sure how they can move further away from small donor dominance and still be on Earth.

So your use cases for regex are when you’re not going to actually fix the problem that caused you to need regex?

I’m saying if your use case makes regex the best option, you’ve gone the wrong way and should turn back. There are definitely corners you can paint yourself into that make it the way to go, but you’ve ended up there through a series of bad ideas.

Turns out the million hours of coding put into SQL, makes it a better option than regex, even for xml based files.

If you’re needing that level of complexity in a text file search, you already fucked up by putting the data in a text file. There’s a reason data file formats exist.

Never debug regex, just generate a new one. It’s not worth the hassle to figure out not only what it does, but what it was meant to do.

Better yet, just write it out in code, and never use regex. Tis a stupid thing that never should have been made.

I still think Ilhan should sue Musk for slander. At least 100mil in damages.

Actually yes, there are more oligarchs than the idiots in charge right now, and it’s going to come to a head at some point. Each one has their feifdom and they won’t go quietly.

More to the point, it’s going to reach the point of mass protest again, and moron is going to call in the military. After which everything is on the table. No one in power will be safe in anything but armored transport and guarded villages, which won’t last long. At that point the US and it’s global hegemony will be broken. There won’t be the resources to project military power beyond our borders and a few subject states, because it will cost so much to keep security at home, and productivity will tank hard.

No one can beat the US military except the US itself, and it’s being forced to do just that.

Half dozen is plenty really. In recipe’s it’s supposed to be 3 quail eggs to replace 1 chicken egg, it’s really about 2.5 just rounded up. With a family of four and a dozen birds we have egg breakfasts 2 or 3 times a week in the summer, down to every other week in the winter. We’ll probably expand the flock a little this summer, bigger cage plans once I can figure out how to keep them as safe as they are in the shed now. Just found out rodents can spread bird flu too, so building requirements just got tougher.

It’s made me a lot more smug about having our own quail.

Of all the people that could buy that shit pile, I think he’d be the best. Kinda the least smelly turd in the pile.

Diesel, bear spray, propane, and gasoline don’t care if you’re wearing a bulletproof vest.

Just pointing that out in case it becomes relevant.

You mean like the president giving pardons to cop killers?

McAfee was a solid product in the beginning, it turned to crap after it’s admittedly crazy founder sold it off.

She’ll do what the oil companies tell her to, and they’ll tell her to shut up, when they see the tax discounts it would earn them.

In the end it’s all about the dollars, who has them, and who’s willing to spend them.

Shut off oil exports to the US and send them to the EU instead.

Although my bet is it would take less than 2 months of just shutting them off to change any policy.

The real question is how do you ban algorithms without banning editorial discretion of the press?

Bigotry and racism do come in multiple flavors.

If you don’t let them speak up, how are we going to find the racists? They’re all old so it’s not like they just suddenly appeared when Obama was elected. They’ve been hiding and hidden. Bring the assholes into the light, and let’s get out the dildo of consequence.

It would take years for new mining to begin to come on line. No one takes that risk based on the short term of a single presidential term.
