Not if the place doesn’t do daylight savings time, and not all places in a timezone will do that (least in North America) so you need extra code if they do or do not. It becomes a pain after awhile when you do it in multiple projects. Technically one extra setting but it’s still a pain to make sure it’s handle properly in all cases, especially when the previous programmer decided to handle it for each case individually, but that’s a different issue.

Also when you deal with the times, say in .Net you gotta make sure it’s the proper kind of date otherwise it decides it’s a local system date and will change it to system local when run. Sure it’s all handled but there are many easy mistakes to make when working with time.

I probably didn’t even get to the real reason, I sort of picked this up on my own.

As a kid I rarely listened to anything, these days I put on Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio show, just go bacl to the start I’ve heard up to the third phase often but not the further ones as much. In the more recent past it may have been a Harry Potter (UK) book or again Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy voiced by Stephen Fry. Guess that’s a lot of UK stuff considering I’m Canadian, but Fry has such a nice voice to drift off to.

From the guy that also had ‘executive time’ blocked off many (most? All?) mornings of his presidency, he only wanted to be in front of the cameras. Trump has never worked for what would amount to a full time day in his life I bet.

Amazes me that a grifter who I doubt anyone would truly trust to babysit or even be a manager at a fast food joint gets so much support and offered access to some of the world’s most secret Intel.

Two Hortas at the same time man.

Instead of the $1 menu (wait does that still exist?) they get to choose from the billionaire menu except it’s required…as long as they can’t lobby for the billionaire menu items which is a dream too. It would have to be programs that actually show they help people in easing financial needs of course.

The upside of having no real stances is you can throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks towards your benefit.

Also an upside of never implementing what you promised it doesn’t matter what you said last.

I assume that’s from Invasion of the Body Snatchers? I’ve only seen the pose spoofed in other media, most memorable being Space Quest IV (think it’s that one, been a few decades since playing the series now). Mean to watch it someday, maybe a good time in remeberance.

According to a few Google searches it was a physisict Hugh Everett in the late 50s. I am sure there were others in more meta and philosophical concepts in the past but I get the idea he is the known physicist to come up with it.

Disclaimer I didn’t read a lot but his name came up a few times and I assume he had a theory that could relate to physics at the time.

I still like that Flash was probably the first for pop culture, when weird time travel started happening in other shows (after deep into Flash recent series) I started joking it was just Barry messing up crap between the multiverse and time.

You think there can only be one god? That sounds limiting. I don’t believe in any, but say does Buddhism really contradict most of Christianity real values? Like be good to people (help the less fortunate) try to let things go to not burden your well being (praying for forgiveness), respect others (do unto others). Besides having to actually believe in a god what’s the difference between the two? Though the Buddhist view I’m thinking of doesn’t require a god either but both seem to have teachings of compassion and love for your fellow person (some restrictions apply when dealing with intolerant types). I’m not saying you shouldn’t have faith but don’t say one has to be wrong.

I kinda thought he was attempting a joke but he only knows how to be mean for a laugh and has no idea why an actual joke works. But since his fans will cheer for anything mean it doesn’t help either. Like the toddler that learned people laugh when they say a swear word, let’s just keep doing that until nap time.

First year programming in the late 90s … segmentation fault? I put printfs everywhere. Heh. You’d still get faults before the prints happened, such a pain to debug while learning. Though we weren’t really taught your point of the comment at the time.

Least that was my experience on an AIX system not sure if that was general or not, the crash before a print I mean.

There’s a whole movie using the same rhythm ‘dont look up’ that, I assume, it was modeled after. I’m sure his narcissism is clutching for some control these days and it’s driving him mad.

If it walks like a Nazi, looks like a Nazi and sounds like a Nazi…maybe you got a jackboot problem. Least that’s how people are treating this issue it seems.

In the 90s it felt like we may be working towards that idealism, aftwards…not so much. Plus after mid 2000s/2010 everything wanted to be gritty which doesn’t work for Star Trek. That said I haven’t watched any series since Enterprise(on my list just not up there), but the recent movies felt less like Star Trek than the TNG ones.

In Canada ours have a sticker that says the amounts are calibrated to a certain temperature (15C I think), so I assumed it took that into account. I try not to think about how much it costs so didn’t over analyze it.

It was a term way before game of thrones, but it means naive I the straight sense yes. I imagine the person meant it more in a lighthearted way is all. Though tone is hard to tell online a lot of time so who knows.

It sort of depends on the country though, compared to the US the conservatives in Canada aren’t that far right as Republicans,though PP is making that statement a bit outdated. Liberals in Canada are usually to the left of Democratic party in the US, though not as much as I’d like. I’m not sure where we land compared to Europe but probably liberals are center right overall, with a margin of error putting them in the middle, depending which policies you are looking at.

I always preferred jungle, dnb has a nice head bopping groove but jungle is much more fun, of course doesn’t always apply. I have no idea what the parent comment is about just wanted to add my opinion on some nice beats.

The ready or not dnb remix from the late 90s was the shit though.

Anyone else watch Road to Wellville?

Recall watching it randomly in the 90s on our only movie channel. Story is it’s about Kellogg’s wellness retreat, not meant to be true or anything (I assume) but I always think of it when Kelloggs is brought up. Also always makes me think of the term ‘bicycle smile’ since that may be one of the only times I heard it.

Commented here since seems to be relevant to his weird ideas.

Her claim was that she couldn’t work or play with her kids for five years though. Tossing trees seems like a pretty excessive activity compared to some light playing with kids or light work.

Part of me does agree since I had terrible fatigue for a few years, some days were better than others so I understand wanting to do more when you feel better but if you’re in the middle of a claim to pay out 650K then it may be better to know your limits. Especially for back and neck injuries. She could have played with her kids in that time instead which is what she was concerned about for the claim.
