Saying one programming language is better than another is ignorant; it’s like arguing a screwdriver is better than a wrench.

Each language has their strengths and weaknesses that make them better at some tasks and worse at other. Python’s strength is ease of development. Performance isn’t a big concern if you just want to quickly develop the app you want.

Rust might be more performant, but if development takes twice as long and the app only runs once or a few times, that benefit is unrealized.

Wow, you sure demonstrated your superior competence level with those echo statements.

I never thought he was my friend. The CEO being my friend is not a requirement for running a company I don’t mind buying from.

Do you refuse to buy toilet paper because no TP company CEO is your friend either?

So is playing Counter Strike

I thought so too until I heard him unironically complain about something he thought was “woke”. I lost all respect as soon as I realized his beliefs are aligned with the traitors’.

That depends on your point of view.

Powdered milk is milk with the water removed. For that reason, many people would probably agree with the idea that it’s “real” milk.

On the other hand, brandy is wine that’s had the water removed, but I think you’ll have a hard time finding anyone who will agree with the idea that brandy is wine.

Uh, linkedin is that way >>

There are also ways to get a Flash runtime environment set up on a USB. Then, you can load .swf files onto it and run them locally. This is how I would play flash games at school after they blocked all the flash sites and installers.

Oh yeah well I have a skidoo in my peeble joiner using a flimflam from doop

Reminds me of this I saw recently https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sETvPBVKBAY

Watch it on FreeTube or something, of course

The client is packaged and sold with the VPN subscription to “add value”. People like you and I understand that VPN clients are pretty simple places of software, but most VPN customers, well… you know

Because that had nothing to do with it. If leaded gasoline caused serial killers, there would be a worldwide increase in the number of serial killers, but this isn’t the case.

This number of serial killers is unique to the US in this specific time period because, at that place, during that time, it was never easier to be a serial killer. Technology had progressed enough to give us cars, highways, guns, and ammo, but hadn’t progressed enough to give us nationwide databases, nationwide news, DNA science, or IDs that couldn’t be easily forged.

Only in this place, during this time, could someone kill multiple people, leave behind virtually no evidence, then move hundred of miles away under a fake name and repeat that process as many times as they wanted.

Anywhere else but the US, they would have to cross a national border, which would be tracked and documented and required documents that couldn’t be easily forged. Any other time in history, you either can’t move hundreds of miles easily, or forensic science has advanced enough to make it much more difficult to leave no evidence behind.

No. Forensic science improved, communications technology improved, and government-issued IDs became more difficult to forge.

Once police agencies started communicating with each other and sharing evidence with each other, it became a lot more difficult to just disappear, move a few states away, and reappear as someone else with another name.

And only in the US. No other country at any other point in history had so many documented serial killers. I think it’s because in the 1970s, your ID was a handwritten piece of paper without even a picture on it, there was no internet, no fingerprint database, DNA wasn’t a thing, there was no national news, and no nationwide police agency, but there was a massive highway system and a huge, easily traversable landmass. Packing up and moving to a new town with a fake name and a fake ID where no one had ever heard of your crimes was never easier than in 1970s USA.

How did you drive that all the way to the vet? There’s barely any room to sit. I don’t even see an engine.

It sounds like running a Windows VM on your Mac might be the easiest option. An exe requires Windows. It’s a lot easier to simulate a Windows machine than to get a physical one. That said, going from nothing to a working VM isn’t always light work.

For autoloaders, sure. But most .45 colt firearms are going to be revolvers where it isn’t an issue.

Also, even when it comes to autoloaders, “steel” is an umbrella term that encompasses a huge variety of materials. Not all steel is hard enough to damage all firearms.

I don’t buy it all the time. But sometimes I do because I just want to feed a cheap gun some cheap ammo.

A river gun might be the kind of dangerous you’re thinking of, but not river ammo. Many may fail to fire, but that’s about it.

Worst case here would be a squib load, where the primer ignites, but not all of the power burns, and the bullet doesn’t make it out of the barrel. This isnt dangerous in and of itself. But, if the shooter fails to notice and attempts to fire another round with the barrel still obstructed, then we’re in “break the gun, hurt your fingers” territory.
