"All the nontrivial parts of the code are commented, and anyone who can't understand the rest probably shouldn't be touching it to start with."

Oh, I know that type. It's all about the mystery.

"The perpetrator was Dr. Inherited Function, in the library with a loosely typed string".

as with the brain, the initial code should be fine but once it's been hacked about over the years, you're ****ed.

You got my number.

Code:
enum Bool
{
   True,
   False,
   FileNotFound
}
(If you've ever been on TheDailyWTF I'm sure you'll recognise that gem)

Dear heavens, I think that is a perfect summary of politics.

Not if I 57it and dream up yet another totally different set of end-circumstances to cancel that out

The numerous ways it could go down leave lots of options to get buried in the minutiae. That's why I stuck to the key claim--modern humans wouldn't even know how to live up to cavemen on survival skills. And that's just lolwrong. Hunting with a spear is really hard--a gun not so much(e.g. piles of buffalo skulls) I used a really small number of people/quick event as an example because if only half the people died or something--we probably wouldn't be demoted to caveman status Obv we could dream up some scenarios where the remaining few are 100% doomed but that brings us back to why even bring up the idea at all?

AC Slater is a shtick, right?

At least I certainly hope it is...

First Ghislaine Maxwell gets arrested, then 3 weeks later the Jeffrey Epstein thread gets closed. Coincidence? I think not.

I'm super pro gun control, but if I lived out in the sticks I would totally buy a bunch of guns and go out into the woods and shoot some cans n ****.

Sorry I'm drunk and needed to get that off my chest. Please don't hold it against me.

Yo, who closed the religion & science thread? I thought that was basically my containment thread where I could play?

Why close it? We're just chatting. I don't understand.

It looked like it was degenerating into some kind of programming HU4ROLLZ thing. I understood pretty much nothing.

Is that why it got spun off by WN?

I'll let TD deal with it in the morning, since he actually posts in there.

I think we should all go to bed. I am at the very least.

Is this true? I thought it was getting kind of heated. My judgement could be off.

Alright, can you just rename it to my containment thread or something and reopen it? I liked that thread! And I stopped bothering all you guys and even took chez away for a while, what's not to like?

I mean, ask chez, this is the most civil we've been towards one another in a while, IMO. Chez?

Guess my read might be off after 3 bottles of wine. Oh well, ok, I'll speak to TD tomorrow.
