Whenever I stay in a hotel I look up the TV Hotel Mode Unlock Code, go in to the channel guide and delete GB News. It's even easier to do in an AirBnB. It's a very satisfying feeling. I recommend it.

I'm gonna be really frank here: this is a bad relationship to have with any politician, even ones on your side. You should think of a politician the way you think of a sponge. As long as it cleans up messes, you hang on to it. And when it stops being able to do that, you throw it out and get a new one

@mattblaze that escalated quickly... Sorry for that, as a German-American. It was really rude.
I think the problem is that the rest of the world only reports on the federal election, nobody can comprehend the point you were making that there are dozens of things to vote for. I just counted my ballot, 30 different votes. Germany has 2 on federal election day, maybe 4 if a state election coincides.
And I have counted paper ballots in Germany, it is error prone!

Ok I already answered the puzzle, but this came out as a funny GIF!

So I feel like this has happened to me nine times, in three different build systems, and I'm so tired.

We have an MSBuild project. It has targets A,B,C,D. Target D has an AfterTargets="A;B;C" in its xml.

When we run the project, we visibly see in the output window that the targets run in the order C;D;A;B. Moreover, the output of D is incorrect, as if D had been run without A and B having run first.

Why. Why. Why. Why. Why.

How do I convince MSBuild to do what I tell it to.

@oheso ARBOR PRESS! @attoparsec was able to parse my half-misremembered bullshit and come up with it xD

Also did gym, please clap

For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.

How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

Just to state really clearly what is going here.

The New York Times is leading an information warfare operation to mislead the public that Chuck Schumer has the votes, and is the inevitable next Majority Leader.

This is not the case. Schumer has significant and growing opposition both from new and incumbent Senators.

We have see the New York Times use this disinformation tactic many times before.

Do not be misled.

Im resisting buying this.

Pt 210 data terminal. Never heard of it.

@Amgine my original boat back at 1 was cancelled.
They were able to get us on the 1040 pm, but that means we had to kill 9 hours in Vancouver.

We ate and shopped.
A LOT.

Successful night tonight, my chums. Very lovely to have unlocked a new level in life of going out with non-drinking male friends. Difficult to convey the alcohol culture in the UK, but you're basically indoctrinated into going out with your mates and getting annihilated on alcohol and that's essentially your whole social and personal relationships. Unsurprisingly this has a knock on effect to many other areas of your lives. Culturally it's not terribly healthy. So I'm thrilled to have discovered going out on a Saturday night to a shisha joint and just banging a load of sparkling water, tea, a bit of food and having a shisha. Also not terrifically good for you, but a far cry from drinking 8 pints and getting in fights. Had a laugh, talked about our feelings and listened to one another and came away from it validated and positive and crucially will wake up tomorrow (today) feelin' fine. Although I went slightly overboard on the sweet potato fries and hummus. Like a wildman. Men! You too can do this and still be a total double-dog alpha male. Grrr. Had so much hummus mate. You should have seen my BiL. Went mental on the shisha and had 4 cokes. We cannot be stopped. Also - we talked about our hopes and worries in a way that was supportive and nurturing. Oi oiiiiii!
