It’s actually mainly about hating car-dependent infrastructure. The stuff that makes cities impossible to conveniently get around unless you’re in a car, because cycling distances are too far and force you to mix with fast-moving cars due to lack of separated paths. And public transport is expensive and slow, if it exists at all, because cities choose not to invest in it and even if they wanted to it’d be more expensive for them than if cities were planned better.

Fark. I thought today's was easy and that I had it all solved before I even started. Then error after error...

Oh I see, interesting. I guess they're named after the fact that normally they're at a restaurant?

The Wikipedia article was...interesting. The first paragraph of the "history" section seemed like someone had removed a sentence at random. "After that initial meeting", without ever having described any first meeting, but having set the stage where such a first meeting might take place. If someone has knowledge & sources about that first meeting, that'd be a great opportunity to improve Wikipedia.

I hate both teams. I'll probably be going for Melbourne, but mainly I'm just hoping for a good game.

How does one munch at a library? Isn't that usually frowned upon?

That link 404s.

Edit: did it explain why they had to remove donation links? That seems unfortunate.

We could have used the tilde, which has been used in formal logic & maths for negation in very many contexts for a long time.

It's used instead in C and many C-like languages for the far less useful bitwise negation. Of course, we could have had it work in the same way as bitwise vs logical and & or, by dialling up the symbol. Which would have massively improved its visibility compared to the bang.

But for some reason, no. They chose the bang instead.

It means slightly better than—but just slightly—America's Democrats.

Though fyi in Australia we spell it Labor. It's labour in any other context, but our political party is Labor.

I went on a long run on the 1st September. First day of Spring down here in the southern hemisphere. Basically still winter. And it was 32 °C by the time I finished at 10 am. Over 30. In the morning. Just one day after winter. Wtf.

Maybe Mossad shouldn't be using civilians as human shields then.

Yeah honestly AA games deliver the experience AAA games gave 15 years ago, and that's what I want way more than whatever AAA is today.
