Canadian bacon comes from the back (as in, near the back bone) of the pig. Ham comes from the other back (as in, the butt)… Which isn’t to be confused with the pork butt (also called pork shoulder) from the front, typically used for pulled pork.
Hey Arnold! It’s a little older but wonderful to watch and subtley shows some serious issues (one character’s mom is pretty obviously an alcoholic, even if you never see her actually drinking, but it’s not too blatant for naive minds)
Also, Pepper Ann is criminally underrated. It never gets particularly serious or anything, but it’s a good coming of age show with a pretty relatable female main character. One thing that’s stuck out for me is that pretty much anyone would think she’s a pretty cool girl they’d want to be friends with, but she feels hella awkward around most people. Good way to bring up that you may feel a bit awkward, but sometimes you need to fake a little confidence and others may take it better than you’d think
That’s a good point that they exist, but a better way to quantify their prevalence is probably by population served. Even if the majority of fire departments are like that (if…) they would be in the most rural areas with little population. I would think most people live in areas densely populated enough to have an always-staffed fire station.
I feel like if we know about this, they would too. Or at least a supervisor.
Kinda sorta. I’m firmly in the millennial generation, so there aren’t as many computers older than me. But I can tell you about my dad bringing home a brand new 486 (25MHz) and temporarily setting it up for the first time on the kitchen table, before it was officially set up downstairs.
In high school I got a handful of leftover computers to play with. Some early Pentiums, a really weird 486 tablet (still have that in my crawlspace!), and stuff like that. Great to learn hardware on, do some homework in my room, listen to Winamp, etc.
Then college came and I had less time and space. Then I bought a home a couple years later (when they were all on sale!) and had a kid. Most of my time and money goes to those things.
But! I hate where technology is going now. I remember things being fun and innovative, rather than yet another thing weirdly integrated with an app on your phone (likely with a subscription 🙄 ). So I’ve spent some time restoring antique radios, and put together some fun projects I’ve found that use a 3D printer and Raspberry Pi, including a working mini computer that runs a Dosbox instance with my favorite games from that 486.
Tl;dr not that young by Lemmy standards, but I get it!
I think CNBC’s ticker is for stock prices, whereas Fox and CNN are for news headlines (although Fox will do several pieces for the same story, essentially putting a miniature article in a ticker)
MSNBC hasn’t had a ticker in years, if ever (I’m sure they did at one point but I had watched it for a while and noticed its absence)
That’s the same initials of mine! I did a PEI bed sheet though, and so far I’ve stuck with Cura (but you’re tempting me!)
Is it the greatest? Of course not. Does it take care of a lot of issue I had with my previous Ender 3 V2? Definitely.
even though I read this huge wall of text, I’m not closer to understanding what this plugin actually does
Sounds like every piece of corporate literature produced in at least the last decade
I work with a different kind of legacy system. It was retrofitted to work with SOAP, OOP, and some other modern stuff, but none of the old farts bothered to learn it. When I inherited a SOAP service that system used, I had to learn a lot about it to get what I needed.
And honestly? It’s been a lot of fun. It’s a unique kind of challenge, I’ve practically gained celebrity status at work, and even if it’s nothing I’ll be doing long-term it shows how I can pick up weird systems and work with others to make some miracles happen.
Kinda sorta. Cousins mean you share grandparents. Second cousins share great-grandparents. Third cousins share great-great-grandparents.
The the “removed” refers to generations. My first cousin’s kid is my first cousin, once removed. His kid (my cousin’s grandparent) will be my first cousin, twice removed. So 16x removed would be 14x great-grandparent/child.
In other words, Benedict Cumberbatch’s 14x great-grandparent shared a great-great-grandparent with… Was it a king we were talking about? I already forgot OP.
That only works if x is already 0
If i is 10 and x is zero, yes, x -= i would have a value of -10. If x was 5 from something else previously, x-=i would end with an x value of -5.
It’s a valid mathematical notation, sure. But there is an implicit understanding that the - in this case is making a number negative rather than subtracting (or, an implicit subtraction from 0).
With the way negative numbers generally work in binary there would be much different ones and zeroes stored behind the scenes, so handling that would have to be pretty intentional.
That said, I did just try it in Java because that’s what I work in normally and I swear I had a gotcha with that. But it worked fine as far as I can tell.
x = -i;
Do many languages let you do that? When it’s in front of a variable I would’ve expected it to be a subtraction operator only and you would need to do x = -1 * i;
Lately I’ve been getting into Sabrina Cruz’s Answer in Progress videos. She’s got an episode about the recorder that’s a lot of fun to watch but also informative.
I have no idea why you’d need that especially since return y() is pretty easy, but… I want it!
(Actually, I guess a super simple way of overloading a method, like fun x() = x(defaultValue) could be neat)
