It’s often used as the name for ammonium chloride on black licorice. The ammonium chloride also makes a great soldering iron tip cleaner!

I eat them all the time because I have a fucking problem, but I don’t enjoy it.
Aah, like salmiakki (salty licorice). Tastes terrible, but I just can’t stop eating them.
A thousand Roman paces. A pace is two steps, each about 1m, so 1mi is about 2km. The conversion from paces to meters isn’t exact, and definitions have shifted over time.
Used it for the last few years. X just doesn’t work right with multiple monitors of different resolution.
You wouldn’t end up at a login screen, you’d end up in the last logged in user’s session.
It’s the NIF. It’s a hydrogen bomb simulator, it’s not intended to become a power production mechanism. Roughly 0% of their budget involves researching how to turn single fusion explosions at most every few hours into continuous power output.
Scales great for getting around nuclear test ban treaties though, much quicker to retest than blowing up Pacific islands.
Lead(II,IV) Oxide (aka red lead) is sometimes used to color low-quality cinnamon to look better. Much like yellow led is sometimes used to color turmeric. Toxic, of course, but profitable!
In presidential systems like the US has legislation originates from congress. The President only has veto power over legislation, and controls the enforcement of existing legislation. They can’t force congress to create new legislation, though of course they can propose legislation (anyone can do that). This is very different from parliamentary systems where the Prime Minister is the head of the majority party of the parliament, and can thus directly propose legislation and get their party to support it.
Probably red lead used to disguise low-quality cinnamon.
People use computers to accplish tasks. That requires running software on an OS, but nobody runs software or an OS just to sit & watch it exist. They run it to accomplish tasks.
Different distros mostly vary in how easy it is to accomplish various tasks. No one distro is the easiest for everything, so people make different choices depending on their needs.
Lol! All the historical booms and busts before we stopped using the gold standard apparently didn't happen. Just a conspiracy by historians or something.
It was making them trans, not gay.
Mostly correct. Trump was found guilty of significantly inflating the value of his properties already. There are still charges over falsification of business records, insurance fraud, and conspiracy to commit fraud. Those don't have guilty verdicts yet. Damages haven't been decided, as you note.
It's also worth noting that this is a civil trial. That means that refusal to answer questions can result in "adverse inference" where the assumption will be that the worst possible answer was given (an admission of guilt). It may still be worthwhile to refuse to answer, e.g. under 5th amendment protections to avoid incriminating oneself on criminal charges. Criminal charges can be brought based on testimony given in civil trials, but adverse inference isn't enough to get criminal charges.
Budgerigars (small parrots).
They're active, smart, and social. They fly.
So I made them a flight cage that takes up most of the room they're in. I'd prefer a full walk-in aviary, but don't have room in my apartment.
Cleaning isn't bad, I just shop-vac out the litter tray & refill it with a 20lb bag of corn cob bits. Fresh food in the mornings, take it out & replace with pellets around noon. Clean water daily. Millet treats when I let them out (about an hour per day to interact with them).
Feathers get everywhere when they molt. And feather dust. Their room has its own HEPA filter.
Vet appointments are more expensive for exotics than cats & dogs. There are fewer exotic vets, and I always go to a board certified avian vet. Boarding when I go on vacation is also more expensive (about $50/day), especially since they're flighted.
They're not anywhere near as loud or destructive as larger parrots, but that doesn't mean they're quiet. Just means they might not damage your hearing from the next room. They wake up with the dawn, and let you know about it.
They're extremely sensitive to airborne toxins (avian respiration is rather different from mammalian). That means absolutely no teflon cookware use, no air fresheners, etc.
Oops, fixed.
Inline assembly (asm!
) and freeform assembly (global_asm!
) stabilized in Rust 1.59. Those would allow even lower-level printing mechanisms.
For really "cursed" code I'd say making a weird machine would count.
Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Or anything Ed Wood directed, really.
__auto_type
is a compiler builtin, not a library function. It's not a function at all, the parentheses are for precedence & grouping.
I use NixOS & Home Manager. My config is in git
, and I use an ephemeral setup with ZFS & tmpfs:
Mount layout:
/ tmpfs
├─/boot /dev/sda1 FAT32 EFI system partition
├─/nix rpool/local/nix ZFS partition
├─/home/persist rpool/safe/home ZFS partition
└─/persist rpool/safe/persist ZFS partition
ZFS partitions under rpool/safe/ get backed up, the rest don't need to be. Everything else can be rebuilt (and most of it gets re-created at boot anyway, since / and /home are tmpfs).
It tastes like death and I love it.
