This is what they’re doing? Friggin’ idiots! Why don’t they tackle the real problems?!

It is still perfectly legal to be a werewolf!

I think it was voice activated.

Well it is sound activated, it flushes when it detects the “aaaaaaaaaah” sound of relief after refuse vacation has completed.

If there is no such sound, obviously your work is not done, and there is no need to flush.

As a long time C/C++ developer, I think it has a lot of really great ideas. The one thing preventing me from using it a lot more is that there is no stable ABI that would allow to use shared libraries in Rust - everything is statically linked, and if I use the same crates in a number of programs, the same code exists in each of these programs. That is not really a good thing whne you try to develop for a system with very limited space and where program load times make a difference, such as for certain embedded platforms.

But honestly, Rust support in the Linux kernel? Java never got that far, nor any other language (apart from C, obviously).

Yeah actually, that’s genocide.

Rule of Acquisition #17: A contract is a contract is a contract… but only between Ferengi.

The answer is: they do not give a shit.

They do not care about the US as a country.

They do not care about the Americans as a people.

They do not care about the economy.

They do not care about anything apart from their own personal interest. Lining their own pockets is all they care about. If someone helps them do that, they are friends with them. If they don’t, they do not matter.

Congratulations, you now officially live in a cleptocracy where they shake you down, take all of your money and give it to the guys who already have billions. All the taxes they claim to save by obliterating social security, affordable care etc? They are not going back to you, they will stuff them in Musk’s pockets through bullshit contracts and other schemes.

And at the same time, they are critically crippling the IRS to make sure the billionairs no longer even have to pretend to pay taxes.

When he’s done, that bill will be as worthless as he is.

What about the “Lady Death” a.k.a. the “Russian Bitch from Hell”?

She was initially assigned to digging trenches and communication routes, armed with a single RGD-33 grenade due to weapons shortages. In the second half of July 1941, a comrade was severely injured by shrapnel and handed her his Mosin–Nagant model 1891 bolt-action rifle. On 8 August 1941 Lyudmila experienced her debut as a wartime sniper when she killed two Nazi officers in Biliaivka at a distance of 400 metres.

When the Nazis and their Romanian allies overran Odessa on 15 October 1941, her unit was withdrawn by sea to Sevastopol, on the Crimean Peninsula, to fight in the siege of Sevastopol. There, she trained other snipers, who were credited with killing over 100 Axis soldiers during the battle. In May 1942, newly promoted Lieutenant Pavlichenko was cited by the Southern Army Council for killing 257 Axis soldiers. The number of soldiers Pavlichenko is credited with killing during World War II was 309, including 36 Axis snipers.

In June 1942, Pavlichenko was hit in the face with shrapnel from a mortar shell. When she was injured, the Soviet High Command ordered for her to be evacuated from Sevastopol via submarine.

She spent around a month in the hospital. Once she had recovered from her injuries, instead of being sent back to the front, she became a propagandist for the Red Army, where she was nicknamed “Lady Death.” (The Germans called her “the Russian bitch from hell.”) She also trained snipers for combat duty until the end of the war in 1945.
