    China has supported NK in its shenanigans since forever. What were they gaining from doing it before that they aren't getting now?

    Maybe lardlad borrowed the lawnmower & didn't give it back?

  3. In another article Forrester says it cures cancer, will bring peace to the middle east, and might invent a milk carton that can be opened without squirting half the contents down your shirt.

    Why the hell should I need a separate tool just to convert an error code number into an almost helpful string?

    how to win an election decided by the least sophisticated and informed electorate in world history.

    FTFY.

  10. My grandparents were in the second world war (like within range of a He111) and my parents were born just after. Even though rationing ended before I was born, I was brought up as if "make do and mend" was the eleventh commandment. Eleventh and twelfth, maybe.

    I'll come in again.

    Try telling that to kids[1] today, the vacuous, whiny, materialistic little shits.

    [1] Which is anyone under 30.

  11. You don't need any productivity increase just because you have more people, because productivity is defined as output per something, and absent indication to the contrary that something is an hour of labour.

    tl;dr every mouth that needs feeding comes with two hands to work.

    I think they took your advice and chose Manchester.

  15. If the output has to change, there can either be a new tool or ifconfig itself changes. Either way, my script has to be changed.

    Yes. I mean it would be mathematically impossible to introduce a new tool and leave the old one there too.

    Trap and Euthanize is the only sensible solution.

    But often the increased safety due to air ESC and ABS are countered by driving less safely.

    There's a name for that: risk homeostasis theory.

    There is an off position on many ignition locks that doesn't lock the steering.

    The problem is that in a panic, and without looking at it, it's easy to go one stop too far. I know someone who did it (freewheeling down a hill, stupid sod) but it was a while back. Maybe modern cars have something to prevent this, but then *that* can go mental so you're back to square one.

    It's not exactly something you practice every day either.
