Truthy/falsey refers to how types are converted to booleans.
So an empty string is falsey. It’s not false, but when compared as a Boolean it converts to false.
A 0 is falsey, any other number is truthy.

Pressure test the seal, you know? Make sure the lube holds up to the friction, and all that

A lot of companies will actually have a policy about this, probably to return them

Clearly you use your keyboard to dry you off

If you think coal mines are bad, wait till you see the conditions in the Alexa mines!

This is abhorrent behaviour.
As is the (alt/extreme-right) Reform MP that said the behaviour of the police officer should be commended.

We need to address whatever is causing such a surge in support for these kinds of people

Can’t access that link. It’s paywalled.
I think this is the same speech published on the whitehouse page?

If they weren’t using VCS, I bet they have creds embedded in the source.

IMO, as an outsider, he has done a great job.
Among many successes that have drifted across my news feeds, he has also excelled past the really low bar of “not making a mockery of the US”.

That statement is not exclusive from the statement that “Biden should not run again”.

It’s 4 years later. And he would have to do another 4 years if he won.
I know presidents are more than just a person in the same way a ship can’t sail with only it’s captain. But strong leadership is going to make everything easier.
And Biden is old.

And the radiator at the front? Actually for extra speed.

That’s all a turbo is. It’s just a fan in the exhaust pipe adding more speed.

And superchargers need a big air scoop due to the amount of air it pushes out the back.

I’m going to start a meme crackpot theory.

Torque doesn’t exist.
Cars move because of the exhaust gasses.

“What about trucks with an exhaust that points up?” I hear you ask, well why are they always bent over at the top to point backwards?

Tractors that have an exhaust on the top use it to keep the tractor on the ground, otherwise the forces of dragging things would cause the tractor to float off the ground. But the exhaust is pointed backwards slightly, other wise it wouldn’t move. The small backwards pointing force explains why tractors are so slow.

Electric cars are CGI, and part of the conspiracy to hide the fact that torque doesn’t exist.

You missed a then/than as well

I love the callback to compiling
(Edit: it’s an old one: https://xkcd.com/303/ )

What a great addition. And what a great write up.
I love the level of detail they go into, and the graphics they use.
Factorio is such a gem of a game and game development

77 whales beached & died on Orkney very recently. 160 whales stranded/beached (130 saved) in Australia back in April.
Are whales more consistently coming closer to land?

I am absolutely pro choice.
But I agree that drugs during pregnancy (weed, booze, anything that might harm the future child) should be prevented.
Which, I feel, puts me in an odd spot by my apparent hypocritical application of “My body, my choice”.

So, I think it is to do with the intention.
If someone intends to carry a baby to full term, then they should be responsible for ensuring that future child’s well being.
If that person makes the choice not to carry the baby to full term, then yeh: their body, their choice. I have no issue with them taking drugs or whatever.

The binge amnesia allows for surprises on the rewatches

Other services will be reflected by active DNS records.

If the only DNS record points to a “Buy this domain” webpage, I think it’s fair to argue that is misuse.
Doubley so if it turns out many unrelated domains are owned by and point to the same webpage, and it’s just doing a js hostname thing to make it seem relevant to the current address

Uft, the amount of forum threads from 10 years ago that start out helpful for whatever I’m trying to solve which descend into massive arguments about miniscule things is frustrating.
I see grammar arguments a lot.
Which is why threaded conversations are better. The petty argument goes in one direction, and the information goes another.
Although linear threads are much easier for timeline based searching

How long is it?
