Russia can stop this at any time by just not invading them
It’s hard to spot, but Pembrose is an eyeball on the couch. It’s absurdist humor - of course if someone were just an eyeball but somehow sentient, they’d probably have a lot of anger towards the world.
Somewhere smaller than a tiger, that would win 100% of the time. I’d guess 30 lbs is where things start to get serious
Capuchin monkeys have it figured out:
[…] we have been documenting the spread of a new tradition in Pelon group – eyeball-poking. In this ritual, one participant inserts its finger in the other’s eyeball, slipping the finger deep between the eyelid and the bottom of the eyeball up to the first knuckle. As in handsniffing, the pair remains in this posture for up to several minutes, and often the one being poked in the eye inserts fingers in the partner’s nostrils or mouth during the eyeball-poking.
What sublinks mess? I’m out of the loop on that

I just had a POS machine recommend 20%, 25%, or 30% for percentages. It seems like it’s increasing
There’s at least one example you can look at, the Jenkins CI project had code like that (if (name.startsWith("windows 9")) {
):

Microsoft, for all their faults, do (or at least did) take backwards compatibility very seriously, and the option of “just make devs fix it” would never fly. Here’s a story about how they added special code to Windows 95 to make SimCity’s broken code work on it:
Windows 95? No problem. Nice new 32 bit API, but it still ran old 16 bit software perfectly. Microsoft obsessed about this, spending a big chunk of change testing every old program they could find with Windows 95. Jon Ross, who wrote the original version of SimCity for Windows 3.x, told me that he accidentally left a bug in SimCity where he read memory that he had just freed. Yep. It worked fine on Windows 3.x, because the memory never went anywhere. Here’s the amazing part: On beta versions of Windows 95, SimCity wasn’t working in testing. Microsoft tracked down the bug and added specific code to Windows 95 that looks for SimCity. If it finds SimCity running, it runs the memory allocator in a special mode that doesn’t free memory right away. That’s the kind of obsession with backward compatibility that made people willing to upgrade to Windows 95.
You’re not getting past this bouncer
ChatGPT came up with the punny name on its own:
A large, heavy animal, resembling a buffalo, dressed as a bouncer at a cyberpunk-themed nightclub in an all-animal world. The club, named ‘Byte the Dust’, showcases a grungy, cyberpunk aesthetic, with a neon sign that’s bold and futuristic. The buffalo bouncer is wearing high-tech, neon-lit glasses and a distinctive cyberpunk mohawk. The outfit is a rugged, cybernetic ensemble with metallic accents. It stands imposingly at the club entrance, which features rough textures, rusted metal, and dimly lit neon lights. The buffalo’s expression is tough and unwavering, in harmony with the gritty cyberpunk theme. The artwork should be in a realistic style, highlighting the formidable presence of the buffalo and the intense, neon-tinged atmosphere of ‘Byte the Dust’.
Double curly is pretty common IME, but I have more experience in backend which is less likely to be involved in an error like this. Off the top of my head, handlebars, django, and jinja2 all use that style.

It’s pretty fun. Similar to OP, I was able to get all the way to crafting specific Mario Kart DS courses.
The collect
’s in the middle aren’t necessary, neither is splitting by ": "
. Here’s a simpler version
fn main() {
let text = "seeds: 79 14 55 13\nwhatever";
let seeds: Vec<_> = text
.lines()
.next()
.unwrap()
.split_whitespace()
.skip(1)
.map(|x| x.parse::<u32>().unwrap())
.collect();
println!("seeds: {:?}", seeds);
}
It is simpler to bang out a [int(num) for num in text.splitlines()[0].split(' ')[1:]]
in Python, but that just shows the happy path with no error handling, and does a bunch of allocations that the Rust version doesn’t. You can also get slightly fancier in the Rust version by collecting into a Result
for more succinct error handling if you’d like.
EDIT: Here’s also a version using anyhow
for error handling, and the aforementioned Result
collecting:
use anyhow::{anyhow, Result};
fn main() -> Result<()> {
let text = "seeds: 79 14 55 13\nwhatever";
let seeds: Vec<u32> = text
.lines()
.next()
.ok_or(anyhow!("No first line!"))?
.split_whitespace()
.skip(1)
.map(str::parse)
.collect::<Result<_, _>>()?;
println!("seeds: {:?}", seeds);
Ok(())
}
Sure, but do you think if the lower court decided that the case could move forward, the justices would’ve sat out? I doubt it.
Because there were not enough justices for a quorum—the court needs at least six and only Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson remained—the court affirmed the judgment of a lower court to dismiss the lawsuit.
Clever. Appearing to do the right thing at face value coincides nicely with getting the case against you dropped. It’s likely impossible to sue a majority of the Supreme Court if they don’t care to be sued.
That’s ok, they’ll just move to their second cabin, complete with what looks like an outdoor dining set.
I’m no astrophysicist, but those moon orbits do not look stable. High tide vs low tide must be pretty interesting
