Ah, that’s possibly true as well. Good catch.

I know exactly what happened here having just done a renovation on a basement with a completely fucked up bathroom.

They re-used the existing piping and lines when replacing the tub and shower surrounds.

They wanted to save a few hundred dollars and/or effort of moving the pipes to center up with the prefab tub/surround, and just figured they could drill the hole into the surround for the shower attachments wherever.

They’re correct, but that doesn’t make them right.

That’s not how it works. They use it as Capital to influence politics and things like that, which buys them more influence, which they use to reduce workers pay, rights, and benefits even further, which they absolutely use to acquire more wealth.

Every billion they gain comes at the cost to worker rights.

Yeah, it is. Always check the hands. They’re fucked up on the cigarette guy and the guy presumably with cancer.

This guy knows his stuff

That was much later. Up until that point, Röhm, the General of the SA at the time, was a “constitutional loyalist” who didn’t help or hurt Hitler.

Then Hitler made up a conspiracy that Röhm and about 300 of his loyalists were going to commit a “coup”, and staged a overthrow of the German Military during Röhm’s Honeymoon, a day or two after he got married.

Of course, the rest of the German people were ok with that, because he outed Röhm as gay, and had already done well to turn the people against Homosexuals in the country. That combined with the lie that Röhm was about to depose Hitler, and he succeeded in a flawless execution of 300 top military leaders to seize complete control of all facets of German operations. Presidency from Hindenburg, Military from Röhm, and his Chancellorship he got at the voting booth.

That’s all to say I have no faith in a military preventing a Fascist dictatorship from asserting control over our country.

At no point in history has that seemingly happened. I would not expect us to set the curve.

He thinks it be like that, because it be like that.

Best we can hope for is an overdose

He intentionally chose it because his kids really liked the game. He didn’t know what it was about, but he wanted to leave legacy of a fun movie to his children when he was gone (he had already known the diagnosis at that point).

So he literally did it for his kids.

I’ve been writing code for 25+ years, and in tech for 27+.

I’m a novice at all languages still. Even though they tell me I’m a Principal Engineer.

There’s always some new technique or way to do what I want that’s better I’m learning every day. It never stops. The expectations for what I consider to be good code just continues to climb every day.

It stopped during covid and never started back up

I’m pretty sure that’s SCA, not HEMA

Unfortunately, those of us that make games in Unreal Engine are stuck writing a lot of C++, unless we want to do everything in BPs (no thanks, they’re fine, but it’s not coding, and it’s difficult to maintain and refactor for complicated projects, they’re good for taking C++ components and building bigger components out of the base C++ functionality though).

With that said, UE’s support for C++ is decent. Which is, that as long as you tag all your fields, properties, methods, classes, etc. with some UnrealEngine attribute filter (like UCLASS or UPROPERTY), Unreal will handle the memory management of those constructs for you. Which is nice.

Unfortunately it has some other limitations to the C++ language that you can’t work around, like disallowing pure abstracts because every C++ derivative class based on any UE construct (Actor, Character, Pawn, etc.) has to be instantiatable in the editor. So no pure abstracts and such.

In general, I’d give it a 6/10.

It’s still mostly C++, but some of the things suck less.

This is great stuff. I mean, not for my tires. But in every other respect. Great.

Wait, really? I would like to know more about Porcu-facts.

Narcissists tend to sound the same, because it’s all lies about themselves and over inflating their own achievements because they can never get enough, have enough, do enough, etc.

Hogan and trump both would have had legitimate things to be proud of/brag about during their hayday; but because they are the way they are, it was never enough. It always has to be about them, and they have to be the best at everything. Their ego is fragile and any challenge to anything they do is met with extreme aggression to try and hide the fact that most of their accomplishments are made up lies.

Once you start down that path, you can’t walk it back without admitting to every one of the lies you’ve ever told. And they physically can’t do that. Like, their brain will not let them. You’ve seen trump try and acknowledge that he was lying by a judge and the best he can do is admit that the thing he’s saying ISN’T true, but he believes it SHOULD be true, so therefore why shouldn’t he be allowed to say what he personally believes is true, even if nobody else is willing to believe him? He knows that by saying it enough times, people will accept his lies as truth, there’s no reason for him to stop.

Hogan’s the same way. All Narcissists are the same way. It’s their cornerstone behavior.

Always has been. Religion is the single biggest reason to not believe in religion.

Yeah, exactly. This would have to be a Genie using the “Brewster’s Millions” rules, not the ones in the tweet. In that case, they wouldn’t be able to own anything bought with the 100M at the end of the month.

Right leaning tends to happen over time as a generation or two forgets about how bad things used to be for them.
