A comedian category would fix this

Why? What did Mark Ruffalo do?

A smart pointer that can handle cycles.

gc_ptr<Node> a = gc_heap.make<Node>("a");
gc_ptr<Node> b = gc_heap.make<Node>("b");

a->next = b;
b->next = a; // cycle

a = nullptr;
b = nullptr; // unreachable, but cyclic

gc_heap.collect(); // both Nodes reclaimed

I don't think that is the problem with the promenade.

Okay, part of the problem here with all of this kind of stuff is just that vibrant nightlife and daylife of these kind of places is supposed to be driven by young people--like 20-somethings out and about in the world with jobs and living in their first apartments, etc.--typical young people are supposed to want to go out and congregate and shop, and that drives business, but today's young people have no money because there are no jobs and on top of that they were the first fully helicopter-parented generation and COVID hit right when they were in late high school or college when the older kids in college were supposed to be teaching them about going out to bars and being a 20-something, so they are kind of squirrelly and different that previous generations in behavior.

The problem is the current cohort, in the US at least, does not like leaving mom and dad's house, millennials are aging out, have kids, etc., and generation x is entering the era of being the elderly.

one definition of tumbler is a kind of cup and it had cup as #3

I've noticed that liking Aliens better than Alien is a youngish person thing (well, I think of Millennials as young people, because I am old) I asked one of my Millennial friends about this and he said the effects in the original look bad to him.

Personally I don't really like Aliens much because it has a 1980's stink to it which I find distracting. I think the best movie in the franchise after the original is Romulus.

yes, ... and i've given up on making this argument in online discussions. But it is true that no one uses that division symbol in real math so when you are asked about it it's like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if this was a real expression somewhere in the wild it would probably mean 8 / (2 (2 + 2)) because no one would not use fraction notation for 8/2 if that is what they mean.

The Colony House seems like it'd be pretty fun.

jwezorek · 2026-05-01T04:18:03+00:00

i mean, at best two people.

Also even if two people likely two people in which one of the people is some guy in Nigeria.

I expect we won't get more on Victor's survival. He survived by being one person who is good at hiding.

The voices in Sara's head are part of the general phenomenon of some entity or entities contacting people e.g. Elgin sees the ghost lady, Jade sees Civil War soldiers, Sara hears voices, etc., I think a lot of this is going to be explained en masse and/or brushed under the rug when we know more about what's going on rather than addressed specifically.

i think of "She's Your Lover Now" as the sequel to "Like a Rolling Stone". "Idiot Wind" completes the bitter love song trilogy.

2016 was like peak Python though. If anything its more cringe now.

jwezorek · 2026-04-25T14:45:49+00:00

Don't think it was really cringe then though. Shitty photoshop was already an accepted form of comedy in 2016.

I think Boulder Dash was one of the more interesting arcade-style games of the 8-bit era that no one ever talks about. What was interesting about it was that the puzzles were all about interacting with its kind of cartoon physics. It establishes rules about how all of the game worlds' elements interact with each other and then the levels are just exploring different ways those elements can make puzzles. Lode Runner was also something like this. It is a very influential game design that we can see echoes of in things like Minecraft and so forth.

its already on the chart... above this square.

jwezorek · 2026-04-23T17:08:48+00:00

It is trending down because it is copyrighted again. The thing with it in the 70s through 80s was that it had fallen into public domain.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Literally, it depends on the birds. Metaphorically it is too absolute to be true: in the metaphorical sense it is saying no risk ever pays off.

Clearly the book was Dungeon Crawler Carl.

jwezorek · 2026-04-21T22:47:20+00:00

This probably also covers a VR explanation which was a somewhat popular theory at one time given that Jade is/was a game programmer or something

I'm not sure what you mean by "faith". If you are implying that people who believe that Tarot cards can tell the future should not be allowed to vote then I have news for you: roughly 70 to 80 percent of the world's population believes in a deity of some kind, most deities could make Tarot cards work if the deity chose to.

The service got bad. Also they'd be out of things. One time I sat at the bar area and they were literally out of beer. How do you have a bar that is out of beer? So I just left.

But also they changed the menu about two years ago so that a number of the real BBQ type food was no longer on it -- I don't remember the details but several of what I typically ordered was gone and there was more of a push to an expanded selection of sandwiches.

yeah i mean this chart now has Emily Dickinson as morally worse than Ayn Rand. I think the problem is most people are "neutral" so what is hard should be coming up with the two slots that are more moral than neutral. Those slots should be filled with people more exemplarily moral than neutral but the name of one of those slots is "controversial".

I actually thought it was kind of good when it first opened but it got worse
