Honestly, sorting algos are serious nerd shit. They’re for suckers and losers. If it’s not worth doing, insertion sort every day of the week. Compute is cheap. If it’s actually important, then it’s TimSort (it’s never important).

Out of the hundreds of judges, over 97% were born on Earth.

All 97%, and all of the remaining 3%, have lived on or in the orbit of Earth for the past three consecutive years. Their financial records indicate that their income is primarily from terrestrial sources.

My understanding is that in a porn folder one of fictional well endowed characters was apparently supposed to be under aged. I also understand there were numerous horses.

Guy in the picture is an online politics streamer and has a running “joke” that he’s a pedophile.

AFAIK he’s not and there’s no real evidence supporting it. He is, however, a horse botherer.

Back when the war in Ukraine started someone faked a news story about the “Karkiv Kid Finder”, which got some attention. https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/cnn-did-not-tweet-a-story-about-the-kharkiv-kid-finder-idUSL2N2VB0UM/

No mixed feelings.

I wish there was more wind.

I like wind.

As a workaround with the default directory fuckery, I always just made new ones.

I’m not confident my tax documents aren’t saved to my dektop.

I usually air gap onto an external disk, but I’ve been busy recently.

Sorry about you not seeing the lightning bug.

Insects are dying out a bit.

Eye worms.

Worms that eat out the eyes.

Seriously.

Nothing is worse than a feral fish.

Those things are so riddled with diseases that you’ll be trying to eradicate the bubonic plague in your tank for about five years after the feral fish died. AFTER you empty the tank and hit it with a vinegar scrub and then literally a flame thrower.

The eye worms. THE EYE WORMs 🪱

How much have you read about the history of religion?

If they’re not doing it to others, they’re doing it to themselves. The last time there wasn’t a Christian church leader ranting about an evil person was around year 0.

Me, playing the Sims when poor.

Plato has basically nothing to do with modern politics.

You’re going to laugh, but I’m absolutely serious here: if your objective is to understand modern politics, I would start with The Prince and the Communist Manifesto.

Both of these are short, written by extremely influential figures, written for non-academic audiences, and have some amount of relevancy to current political operations. They absolutely do not explain modern politics, but they are important foundational texts. Spend 20 hours on the manifesto; 2 hours to read and 18 hours of commentary and related topics. Avoid going deeper into the communist rabbit holes. stop there. Spend 30 hours on the prince; look for college level lectures. You can spend more than 30 if you like, but don’t go for the self help guru dipshits, obviously.

Just keep in mind the target audences and the potential bias the two authors bring to the table.

After those two, I want you to read On Liberty and read up on John Locke’s social contract theory. Those four works will get you a lot of milage.

A book about current events or a book about the study of politics? OP indicated they were political theory focused, so a lot of the theory was written by old dead guys; not exactly news about current events.

I studied both political science and programming.

I can’t think of a good joke, but I wanted to share.

It gives Kerbal Space Program energy.

I mean it’s an incredibly difficult job to refine the chemicals enough to produce a usable product. There’s a finite number of instalations which can actually pull off the delicate chemistry. The materials to make it are fairly common enough; essentially just SiO2,Al2O3, Na2O, and K2O, but it’s much easier to obtain it from the hardware store. I’m definitely not suggesting you attempt to make your own clear glass.

Good catch, but that’s a common misconception. You can actually use woodworking tools on glass, such as drills and saws, but you need to go a lot slower and make sure to keep vibrations under controll.
