Geez. US oil is fracked, which means that to get out of the microscopic fissures in the rocks only the lighter stuff comes out. This makes excellent gasoline. By the way, this is a…

We don't (net) sell it. In fact we don't sell very much the world wants

The petrodollar was never about access to Saudi oil. Even when we imported large amounts of oil, we also produced a lot and we had very many different suppliers. The petrodollar wa…

That includes the Vietnam and Korean wars - lots of pilots got shot down

Yes because it is a breach to the principle of jurisdiction and it's ultimately based on American imperialism. Mind you, Id gladly have pedos and banana execs shot in public.

Except when things matter, like an election. Then, the NyPost is the only media outlet to run a story of a laptop (recently verified by the FBI in court) containing incriminating e…

O dunno if it's the greatest, but it's good enough that thanks to it Linux became my desktop. Maybe there's a better distribution? But who has time to explore? Thanks Debian team!

A modern, backwards compatible, RPL for your desktop.

Im not a CS guy, so I dont know what "first class" means. I can do whatever to a function. I can use it as an argument. I can return it from another function. I can make a function…

The HP engineers were good. First HP engineers made RPL, then they attended Sussman and Abelson's intro to CS class. I think Sussman once said that, if RPL had anonymous functions …

I been wanting to make a forth+lisp language for a while now - inspired by HP's RPL (its so close to being a lisp!). Super cool

Was. Their northern region looks sketchy right now.

No, I think it will also include a smattering of Englishmen, a score of Germans and (maybe) a guy with a mechanical engineering degree who dedicated his career to washers.

Rookie mistake. My bad.

There are basically no guns in Japan.

Dont bother, it sucks. The duck is still trying to fly a certain way and you're really just tugging at him. If you want to try it out just run Duck Hunt on an emulator. You dont ne…

I got the same answer

That's inevitable. Management knows they're too big to fail.

This is very cool, but I have a thought - I see this as a last line of defense, and I am concerned that this would this give a false sense of security leading people to be more rec…

Sure, but check your sentence's grammar; it implies you're asking as a general rule of biology. As to COVID, dunno.

As exercise in power; after all, motorcycles still exist. Sure seat belts save lives. Thats why I wear one. But it's also true that many people get off telling other how to do thin…

Or the kids. We messed the kids up so badly.

Depends on the virus. Not all need a droplet
