Yeah but we also get an Iranian surgeon who specializes in backhanded compliments.

All I can think of is that episode of House with the girl who couldn’t feel pain, and his “magic tricks” in the operating theatre at the end.

To be fair, getting fat back then was hard work.

Think about it…refined sugars weren’t in everything. People had to leave their house, usually on foot, horse, or bike (the modern “safety bicycle” with equally-sized wheels and a chain-drive, came out the same decade).

You’d have to have support/enablers, and you’d have to eat a lot.

Nowadays it’s easy to get fat. Everything is at our fingertips including vast amounts of unhealthy and unsatisfying food stuff. And Walmart is just a few minutes ride in a climate-controlled vehicle. And you’d have to be real heavy to get a car to not want to move you…try that with a horse.

As someone with size 14-wide (US) feet, this is how I shop for shoes. Don’t even look at styles or price, I just look for the pairs that are in stock in my size and that narrows the other factors down for me a lot.

Peaches come from a can.

IRC is literally right there.

The protocol itself could use a little modernizing (namely around privacy concerns), but it’s still very relevant.

Eggs can contain invasive species.

Chicken eggs can come in all sorts of shapes and colors. Hard to say for sure that an egg is definitively a chicken egg just on visual inspection.

Of course, having the eggs in an incubator is probably a sure-fire way of telling they don’t intend to eat them…

I’m really digging the irony of this thread…

with open('program.c', 'w') as f:
    f.write(
"""I'm not actually going to copy down the program... 

But you get the idea of the joke.

Right?""")

The only thing that’ll stop a bad boy with a gun, is a good boy with a gun.

What is this? I searched this in Brave search and got like no relevant results.

Some, I assume, are good people.

MFW I’m wearing the same glasses as a mailman from 100 years ago.

12 years old is approx 7th grade and thus slightly higher than the average adult reading level.

So, yeah, basically. They are just tacking on extra cringe for that authentic 6th-grade experience.

Isnt zsh the default macos shell?

Fediverse is intimidating to normies.

Yeah but lots of german.

Well. Yeah, if you want to learn the shiniest new features, you’ll need the shiniest new references.

But for a new user, for whom Python is probably one of the first languages they learn, a 3.8 reference won’t give them much trouble for a while.

I say this as a novice Python user tho.

Has python changed that much for a new learner that a 3.8 tutorial is worthless in 3.13?

I don’t think so…there’s new features that wouldn’t be taught, but most everything from Hello World to decorators and lambdas were present in both.

Now, if you have a python 2 guide…yeah. That’s worthless. That shows its flaws during “Hello World”.

I’m confused with the “doo doo doo”, so I’m just gonna read your comment to the tune of “baby shark”
