and the fears that Saddam Hussein was going to buy a bunch of PS2s because the cpu was SO POWERFUL they would be used for missile guidance systems or something

Reading and reciting this poem and the works of Benjamin Zephaniah (particularly ‘dis poetry’) in gcse English convinced me that it wasn’t ‘lame’ and poetry can be inspiring

I’ve been involved in this once. There were two of us in the QA department that did subtly different jobs. They wanted rid of the other guy, but as we had very similar roles I had to be involved in the consultation process. What they did is very specifically outline the differences and that his were the ones that were redundant. My manager and friend pulled me into a room beforehand and told me ‘you’re gonna go through some shit but trust me you’re keeping your job’. It all left me with a fairly sour taste in my mouth and to this day I’m not entirely sure it was all above board. If a company wants you gone, they’ll figure a way to do it.

I remember the formation of /r/playdate! Good times, I remember getting very drunk on voice chat, I barely remember what we were playing, maybe CSS

Basically, yeah. It actually has its origin in MUDs, from 'spec_proc', short for special procedure.

1888 is very much not 'pre-industrial revolution', which had started over 100 years prior.

Not quite the specific chemicals anymore. As I understood it, when they outlawed 1v, the legislation was changed to also consider the weight of the molecule. Ok fine, still whack-a-mole, it just took the clandestine chemists slightly longer to figure out what mostly inert structures they could add to the LSD (though not actually add, since that would mean they were at some point making LSD, which is illegal) that would be cleaved off metabolically so you end up with LSD in your system

Oh interesting, thanks! Which makes that comment in the code even more confusing

I’ve used it probably daily since about 2006. Which is kind of sad actually.

Based on one of the comments in the leaked source, at least php 6, though no idea what specific version:

> // In PHP 6 this... doesn't seem to do anything? Let's try again in 7.

You can 'fix' the texture filtering to nearest neighbour in hl by adding the following to userconfig.cfg (should be in a directory called 'valve' in the game's root directory):

gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR

gl_ansio "0"

gl_round_down "0"

Or just entering those lines in the consoe, preceded by 'set'

The electric fence is for keeping foxes out, not chickens in
