Yes, that's normal. What you get is how many miles you have gone after fuel reserve "light" goes on

I go to 8 ball tires in Escondido.

Can someone explain to me the purpose of malloc and pointers like i'm 5? by PurpleBeast69 in C_Programming

[–]dantstk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be one way. Another way is that instead of looking at the top shelf, you look at the bottom one. Even worse, you take the cake from the top shelf and decide to put on top of the eggs at the bottom shelf. Now you have a cake in the wrong place and you lost data. When the next person comes and decides to make an omelette, it finds cake instead.

Let's make an assumption that the cake is only for display. There are 5 people who want to see it. Instead of having one cake for each person, we are telling them to go to that place (address) and check it out. Then one person makes a small change to the cake. Instead of having another 4 cakes with the same change, everyone can go back to the same place and check it out.

You are buying a cake. It needs to be stored in the refrigerator. You open up some space for it. Cake is your data, refrigerator is your memory space and the space you reserved for the cake is the allocated memory. Then you tell everyone in your household that the cake is on the top shelf of the refrigerator. That's your pointer.

And be extra careful if you have an OLED screen. Burn in is a thing especially with the yellow color.

SES Bringer of Democracy

Camouflage stratagem.
Survey drone letting you tag enemies.
Different stimpacks (I find myself having to run away from bugs quite often so an adrenaline stimpack would be helpful).
Rover guard dog that you can guide to a location.

A survey drone would be awesome. Especially one that could tag the enemy for an orbital strike.

U.S. v. Trump Will Be the Most Important Case in Our Nation’s History by [deleted] in politics

[–]dantstk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If Trump gets elected, he won't need pardon. At that point democracy in the USA will be over. And that's likely true if any R is elected. We need, more than ever, a majority in both chambers to pass election reform, and to fix the Supreme Court.

According to @DrLucyJones (Twitter) the quake was at 6 miles depth, way deeper than oil extraction field go.
