How about wearing a wedding ring on the left hand 3rd finger? Since the 9th century, that’s primarily been a strongly Christian tradition, therefore arguably a symbol of Christianity?

You have it the wrong way round; humans invented god.

Modern programming languages and IDE’s are so complex it’s enough to put a lot of people off ever learning to program - it seems such a massive learning curve. There’s something to be said for learning Basic then assembly on an 8-bit computer, where everything is so much sampler and direct. Writing a value to memory and seeing a blotch of pixels change on the screen gives such a direct understanding of what’s going on inside the machine. And if you only have 48k of memory, you can genuinely understand everything the computer is doing.

Being the second tenth best language at everything

FTFY

I first saw this joke back in the days of 8-bit home microcomputers. Of course then it only needed 256 lines of code, and took up about 8k of your precious, precious RAM.

And I though Peter Cushing’s appearance in Rogue One was a bit uncanny valley…

It’s not evolution, it’s an extinction event.

Statistically, competition is for losers.

Coming from the UK generation that grew up during the decimalisation process, and therefore being equally comfortable with both systems, imperial measures are far less intuitive than metric. Don’t mistake simply being being used to something as it being intuitive.

We use a base 10 numeric system because that’s how many fingers & thumbs we have. Having a system of weights and measures based on that decimal system, is far more intuitive than a system that scales up through orders of distance using different scaling factors at ever order, is so unintuitive as to be absurd.

With that write-up, I’m disappointed that there isn’t even one Delorean.

Mind you, parking at 88 mph might explain why the 1st car is waaayy off-centre.

• Fatalism that makes the good people who outnumber the bad not show up to vote

It’s the same as the “all politicians are the same” moan.

No, they’re not. It’s the crooked ones that want you to believe that they’re all the same, because that’s what keeps the crooked ones from being voted out.

Ha. Never a truer summary of Google’s competence in anything other than spamming adverts at you.

Google never stood for anything other than making as much money as possible. Sergio Brin and Larry Page only coined the whole “Don’t be Evil” shtick to fool people into thinking they had more privacy with Google than with Microsoft’s Bing search engine. Neither were any kind of moralist.

The knee needs a complete remodel as well. The whole thing reeks of reappropriating an old 4-leg design for a 2- leg model, and that’s just never going to work well.

One problem solved. Three problems created. SOP.

Program in assembly, 40 columns is plenty. You just need an awful lot of rows.

Switch the computer off. It’s the only way to be sure.
