That’s not a retrofit either. With a multi tool those can be removed with a few bolts. The ones on that bench are single mold cast iron. You’d need an angle grinder to remove those, not that any law abiding good citizen would.

So dumb. They could have spent the extra money helping the people they don’t want sleeping on benches not sleep on benches. Most people probably agree, just not in their backyard or with their tax dollars. The amount of work they’re willing to put in not to help someone is absolutely astounding.

Jeez, you don’t need the gun. I would have come willingly if you’d mentioned the numbers stations. Watching some boring Netflix movie kinda sounded lame anyway. Here’s an edible, where are your headphones?

Eh, technical merit is only one of many factors that determine what language is the “best”. Best is inherently a subjective assessment. Rust’s safety and performance is the conceptual bible rustacians use to justify thier faith.

I also know religious people who have written books about their faith too (my uncle is a preacher and my ex-spouse was getting their doctorate in theology). Rust has the same reality-blind, proselytizing zealots.

The needs of the project being planning and the technical abilities of the developers building it are more important that what language is superior.

I like rust. I own a physical copy of the book and donated money to the rust foundation. I have written a few utilities and programs in rust. The runtime performance and safety is paid for in dev time. I would argue that for most software projects, especially small ones, Rust adds too much complexity for maintainability and ease of development.

Omg, so many opportunities for evil:

• retrieve earplugs from purse, put them in, press the button, hand the staff a $5 cash tip and a pair of earplugs.
• loiter outside offering pairs of earplugs to anyone entering the business
• call the business, pose as a vendor so I get transferred to the manager, and play a recording of the sound.
• leave fake reviews claiming the employees are on a covert malicious compliance strike and to show solidarity everyone should push no-tip.
• before hitting the button ask to speak to the manager and push no tip while making eye contact with them.

The real problem is the employee who didn’t create the policy would generally be the person subjected to any mischief so it’d lose its fun about the time the manager barred me from coming back the fourth time I no-tip stared them down.

How is 🙂 an asshole mood though?

I know religious people who could not explain their faith so specifically.

Is it really just old men saying stuff should remain in C/C++ to preserve their nostalgia? What a bunch of petty bullsh!t.

Oh, so that’s where the creator of ReiserFS got the idea.

How can vegans even justify having pets? It’s not okay to milk a cow but it is to keep a cat? Indoor cats are deprived of basically all of their normal cat activities. They can’t range or roam, they can’t socialize with other cats, they are denied their natural predator instincts. As much as I love my kitties, like keeping a predator as a pet is basically kind of a dick move. I don’t care how good you treat your slaves, they’re still slaves.

If vegans can keep cats, they can eat cheese if the cow is well cared for or eggs if the farmer isn’t a dick to the chickens.

Machoke me daddy.

Lol, not the dark forest the bright asshole. How hilarious would it be if the universe was full of life but everyone thought we were assholes and were trying to avoid us.
