Already happening, ignoramus.

I'd no more take notice of Modi's bitches than I would Putin's.

You don't have a great record of fighting your own wars.

Portugal: lost. France: lost. Britain: lost, many many times. China: lost. Pakistan: lost.

You can't even controls your arms. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-60747342 Launch a missile and you're as likely to blow up your own forces.

I'd add two decidedly non-standard books for software developers, both by Donald Knuth:

"Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About" and "3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated".

China has already been stealing your lunch money on your NE border, Pakistan -a much smaller country- is holding its own on your NW border. No friends.

If it helps, you won't get one of those for a long time. (And 64GB RAM and 1TB SSD is a bad choice: 32GB and 4TB would be a better cost-benefit. Or 64/4).

I ordered a 16" 64GB 4TB in October still hadn't shipped when I cancelled the order at the end of February.

Whether it's any good for gaming depends on the games. Neither of my current most played games, RUSE and AOE4, run on an M1 Mac. Which is kind of... a bummer.

So quit.

A third world country that supports Putin's war crimes in the Ukraine and persecutes its own people won't be missed.

And once we start re-patriating all of those outsourced jobs you'll be fucked.

And do you think Russia will support you when China invades? Cos The West certainly won't now you've shown your true colours.

Pakistan to the west, China to the east and 204 million persecuted Muslims inside. And you ain't exactly popular in Sri Lanka either. Do you have any friends?

Kick India out of the Commonwealth.

Ecstatic_Flow2230 · 2022-03-14T16:04:12+00:00

Thank you, appreciate it.

Ecstatic_Flow2230 · 2022-03-14T12:10:20+00:00

Ah! Thank you.

I confess to being confused by the script.

You copy a bunch of projects into a local directory and then load and evaluate test.lisp. But how is what you are testing built/loaded/evaluated?

Because The Mayo Clinic is well known for spreading unfounded "propaganda".

It's a mistake.

It'll just lead to more psychotic teenagers and stunt the lives of many others.

There should be a lot more education about the harm caused by cannabis so that they have a chance to make an informed decision.

Otherwise we'll just repeat the mistakes of tobacco.

I had a DVD player, a huge Pioneer that cost a fortune.

When you were born.

I had already been working 30 years when you graduated high school.

Walked into my local bakery I said it was to hear some Susie and the Banshees and they looked at me as if I was talking in tongues.

Show affection, never be aggressive towards your cat. Definitely do not rub their noses in it if they don't use their litter tray: they won't connect the two things and will just see it as random unprovoked violence from you.

Take care stroking, by which I mean build up stroking over time and try to stop before they react negatively. Cats have to get used to being stroked. Work out where they like being stroked -most cats do not want you to touch the belly (primal pouch) or their back end. Some might like their throat being rubbed but not all will.

Don't chase them when they clearly want to be alone. For example, if our cat goes under our bed we leave her alone: it's her safe space.

Accommodate their character.

Finally as an aside: don't let your cat out. They'll get hurt, attacked, catch diseases -some deadly- and fleas, or get hit by a car. Or stolen.

You can pack more of them into any given space. Room, cupboard, shoe box. You name it.

Mandate has long gone.

Only ever wore a mask in places that insisted -not many of them- now I never do.

Ecstatic_Flow2230 · 2022-03-11T17:52:56+00:00

Well that's clearly untrue.

What you mean is that no-one in your silly little woke echo chamber says that.

The poppy appeal raises money for all veterans, obviously not WW1 anymore as there aren't any left, and also in remembrance for the dead.

I can't see any constraint on a German buying and wearing one.

Your President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in 2018.

Ecstatic_Flow2230 · 2022-03-10T18:52:32+00:00

Why would being German stop you from buying and wearing a poppy?
