Generationalism—the belief that all or most people born during specific 18-25 year periods share common beliefs, experiences, attitudes, behaviors, politics.
If you step back for a minute and examine that premise, you’ll quickly reject it. -

>I probably will not do so, but the desire is there.
My mother made some chocolate cream (cornstarch, chocolate powder and milk) yesterday, I'm tempted to take some. -

what i heard is that just the 'red zone' workers and companies are locked and can't go to work. Anyway i'm glad my boss did that, without obligation by the authorities. -

Pretty nice to go out when it's day time, I wasn't able to do so for a while. -

>Recognized shorthand on the Usenet group comp.std.c for any unexpected behavior of a C compiler on encountering an undefined construct. During a discussion on that group in early 1992, a regular remarked “When the compiler encounters [a given undefined construct] it is legal for it to make demons fly out of your nose” (the implication is that the compiler may choose any arbitrarily bizarre way to interpret the code without violating the ANSI C standard). Someone else followed up with a reference to “nasal demons”, which quickly became established. The original post is web-accessible at http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&selm=10195%40ksr.com.

1: Drugs.
2: Repeat lies/false informations enough time and it will eventually be believed or become true if possible.
3: It's just a casus belli. -

#GS3 is walking a few steps and climbing. The latest pic shows him grinning proudly after he climbed up on the couch by himself.
He gets very frustrated when he can’t do something, throws a fit, and then tries again. -

@Protected Moomin @Mike Lynch I think the banks that the cryptanarchists are laughing at have understood more than the cryptanarchists:
Blockchain is an excellent solution for settlement, for replacing the central bank accounts, the interbank money markets and international transfers, and it probably will. And perhaps money power users can get in on the network as well.
For non-enthusiast end users, the mobile banking apps -- that maybe bitcoin, altcoins and their mobile apps have partially helped scare into being -- much better serve their use case.
People want to be able to lose their password, go to an office, show their ID and be able to get their access back.
Blockchain for property titles is the same thing. In many jurisdictions today, if you sign a 20-page contract and later discover there's something fishy about it, you can go to court and argue about what parts of the contract are reasonable and make sense. If it's in binary and executed by a deterministic machine, there is no safety valve.
Perhaps smart contracts and development practices will improve and a few decades from now certain parts of the equity market will operate on blockchains or whatever comes after, but right now DAOs are in pre-alpha. -

@lnxw48a1 In case you like to stroll through past ages of electronics and early computer technology, this (regrettably no longer updated) blog is an eye opener, a cabinet of wonders. https://electricthrift.com/

Time to contact google to see if mozilla are allowed to use their funds as such :^) -

> it's just worded in such a way
It's very bad wording then because the "recommended" addons are often software that don't respect user freedoms. -

@mangeurdenuage Yeah, that's something I _really_ dislike about #Pleroma. Just to view one post or someone's profile, one has to download bushels of #JabbaShit ( #JavaScript ) and wait through 1-2 dialogs about slow scripts. -

I must stop procrastinating and get back to that resume rewrite.
It's difficult because I've had the same job for fifteen years with job duties changing tremendously over that time, and because I do more interesting things when I'm not being paid.
I don't know how to word that in a way that says "choose me!", so I've been known to type a single sentence, erase it, retype it, ... for an entire day, ending up with nothing changed.
