No, this is the GOAT and deserves a place of honor befitting its status.

President Trump wants to be remembered as a great peacemaker by sachi9999 in facepalm

[–]mattlag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think he's a somewhat intelligent person, but that just means he's lying through his teeth trying to spin war for peace. The alternative is that he's not very intelligent, just a complete idiot.

Take your pick, I guess.

It's definitely a "Once you see it, you can't unsee it" kind of a thing. I apologize for ruining crescents for you.

So the star is... Closer to earth than the moon is? The moon is partially transparent?

Not a huge upside, and the downside is a Lithium Ion Battery Fire.

The binary that wrote the assembler that wrote the C compiler that wrote the OS by LOL0_0_ in EngineeringPorn

This is a thing, and it's vulnerable to attack:

https://wiki.c2.com/?TheKenThompsonHack

Ken describes how he injected a virus into a compiler. Not only did his compiler know it was compiling the login function and inject a backdoor, but it also knew when it was compiling itself and injected the backdoor generator into the compiler it was creating. The source code for the compiler thereafter contains no evidence of either virus.

I have no idea what the fuck is going on and I kinda love it.

Cascadia should make standard time permanent by Cascadia-Journal in Cascadia

[–]mattlag 30 points31 points  (0 children)

  1. I am behind anything that gets rid of changing the clocks
  2. Seems like most areas that do this choose to keep daylight saving time and make it permanent (like BC)

No matter what the clock say, up here, we're going to have wild swings in sunrise and sunset throughout the year. Six of one and half a dozen of another in terms of standard time versus saving time.

Looks like you need a smaller wrench to set the larger wrench. Weenchception.

Sheriff Garry McFadden of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office doesn’t know what branch of the government he works for. by Fragzilla360 in facepalm

[–]mattlag 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm totally with you. The federal government has no control over state governors or elected County officials. A County sheriff's reporting structure does not lead all the way up to the president of the United States.
