You mean this in the nicest possible way, I'm sure, so may your life be filled with the cutest of furry friends snuggling you to your heart's content.

Your straw men just with me so far, just in the last hour:

• One vote would have changed the presidency
• One state would have changed the presidency
• Trump and/or Biden caused the flood
• Climate change stops and starts with the changes in the Whitehouse
• Individual weather disasters are the same as long term climate change
• This woman's voting record is so heinous that she deserves her children to die

I said nothing like any of those things. You invented them all.

I did say that she is responsible for her heinous voting record and that you shouldn't excuse it. I did say that she is responsible for not just voting against the rapist in chief and the chum of Epstein that she's so shocked isn't releasing the Epstein files, but voting for him.

How about engaging with something that I actually said for once?

What if my kids are not female?

I couldn't make any sense of your comment at all for a while, but now I understand.

And no, not really, not ever, just having silly internet fun.

Her kid didn't die and I wouldn't wish that on her, but it's another straw man and another attempt by you to excuse bad voters from the bad consequences of their bad actions.

You're suggesting verifying your kids' sexuality on a regular basis?!?!

Dude, I put it in brackets for a reason.

Also, your logic of "one vote wouldn't change the outcome" doesn't excuse her for voting for the shitpants nastiest, stupidest, most deceitful, blazen rapist daughter-lusting racist fraudster you could possibly imagine.

He's a complete piece of shit who shits all over the constitution and shits all over the American people, and there aren't any good excuses for her allowing him in the Whitehouse again. She is part of the decision to enable this demolition of everything helpful or useful in the USA. Stop excusing it.

Thank you so much for writing this out. If there's a community for D&D stories like this, I want to subscribe now!

Their Republican governor and their Republican president gutted their flood warning staff, recently. If they'd received a flood warning they might have left the flat land next to the river and they might not be dead.

So no, Harris wouldn't have stopped the flood, but she wouldn't have stopped the flood warning either.

(Also extreme weather events are significantly more frequent due to climate change, and resisting efforts to reduce climate change has been Republican policy for decades.)

Definitely the best solution.

The tram train idea is the best one.

No no no no no no no no no no no no!

I think there are free editors for LaTeX that show you the code and the end result next to each other, and let you edit either.

You need to learn the ability to resist the urge to tweak layout. You're using a professional document preparation tool that well make your document look professional. Playing with trendy fonts and margins and placement is how regular people make documents in a word processor that look less professional than LaTeX.

LaTeX gives you the respectability of the corporate style of the professional science researcher, but if you want free-form do-it-how-you-like, you really really really don't want LaTeX.

In the UK, for example, the “Liberal Democrats” are right-leaning.

Depends on the leadership. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. There have been times when they've been further left than Labour.

Currently of course, that's easy because Labour is too busy trying to appeal to Reform voters and Conservatives and are governing like they were the Democratic Party, which is a shame, because the country is desperately needing some wealth redistribution.

Labour are in power because were gasping for some sanity after a succession of Conservative lunatics, but all the Conservative Party needs to do is stump up a leader who can sound like they have a couple of good ideas and have a bit of charisma and they'll be back in power before you can say "short memory".

Thank you for the belly laugh!

This one made me laugh almost as much as the OP. Thank you!

Uuuhhhhh, copilot, is that you?!

Sure, long as you use your braing.

No, which is why I avoid regexes for most production code and also why I would never use one written by a pathological liar and always guessing coder like an LLM.

LLM is great when you're coding in a pure fictional programming language like elm and are using loss of custom types to make impossible states unrepresentable, and the function you're writing could have been derived by the Haskell compiler, so mathematically the only possible way you could write it wrong is to use the wrong constructor, then it's usually right and when it's wrong either it doesn't compile or you can see it's chosen the wrong path.

The rest of the time it will make shit up and when you challenge it, out will happily rewrite it for you, but there's no particular reason why it wouldn't make up more nonsense.

Regexes are far easier to write than to debug, which is exactly why they're poison for a maintainable code base and a really bad use case for an LLM.

I also wouldn't use an LLM for languages in which there are lots and lots of ways to go wrong. That's exactly when you need an experienced developer, not someone who guesses based on what they read online and no understanding, never learning anything, because, my young padawan, that's exactly what an LLM is, every day.

Watch your LLM like a hawk.

The experienced developers in the study believed they were 20% faster. There's a chance you also measured your efficiency more subjectively than you think you did.

I suspect that unless you were considerably more rigorous in testing your efficiency than they were, you might just be in a time flies when you're having fun kind of situation.
