The lizardpeople living in the sewers of NYC were performing updates, so their control signals couldn't get through...

They are absolutely not separate issues. How can I be expected to shell out $15 per month for 10 different content subscriptions if I can only just afford to put food on my table?

I think perhaps we can come to some middle ground between those two sentiments though! The nerfs were a bit heavy, but the game is still new, no one should really be so upset at major changes dropping before the start of the first season. People acting like Blizzard stole their money and slept with their mother... The game isn't even unplayable.

Not sure that's true. Here's a US gov doc reporting on the Sinaloa drug cartel trafficking fentanyl.

The fentanyl crisis in America – fueled in large part by the Sinaloa cartel

From the link.

Sure, but most of the lines in the screenshot break down to:

object1.setA(object2.getX().getY().getZ().getI().getJ().getK().getE().getF(i).getG().toString())

Aside from creating a method inside the class (which you should probably do here in Java too) how would another language do this in a cleaner way?

That's because that's how politics works. If you can get enough people to believe that what you say is true and act on that belief, it doesn't really matter whether it's actually true or not.

I don't know if I'd go that far. If you're talking about a quick script then sure, whatever gets the job done. But for any actual project the use of good, consistent typing does a lot for readability and future-proofing. And in strongly-typed languages it can have a notable affect on the overall functionality too.

If you can't tell from context whether something is a float or if it'll overflow the int max then you probably need to re-think the entire method.

This isn't the exact recipe for OPs mushrooms, but I have a similar recipe:

Bacon lardons, challot, garlic, red wine, parsley, button mushrooms.

Peel and slice the challot, add to hot oiled pan with bacon and garlic. Once they're softened/sizzling turn heat down to medium, optionally add splash of red wine and stir in, then add mushrooms. Stir to coat, cook until ready, add shredded parsley on top.

Can be turned in to a full meal by adding fresh cream and cheese to create a sauce, add another ingredient (I like to pre-cook courgette or sausage and slice them up), and then stir in your pasta of choice. And of course season to perfect it.

Yeah man, let me just get my kitchen gun or my box shooter or my letter pistol.

Oh wait, sorry, it's not guns I'm thinking of that has many completely harmless uses, it's knives!

Add on top of the nature of these ultra capitalist worldwide corporations, even if they were able to mass produce this affordably that would mean decommisioning tens of millions in already existing production infrastructure. Why would they do that when they can delay next gen tech for greater profit?

Sounds to me like there's now a legal precedent for me to leave people on read.

Gives real "A QA walks in to a bar and order -26 beers" vibe
