Everyone stop what you're doing, the Mariners are selling fries, nachos, and fish and chips in ferries now. www.mlb.com/mariners/bal...

Genuinely proud of this little haiku.

Fair point, I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of MD5. When reverse engineering a Minecraft seed (where I learned the technique), brute force is the main thrust of the solution save a few optimizations. It boils down to O(n) for a surprisingly small n.

It makes trios more fun too, because even as things wind down you might run into a man with nothing to lose and a chip on his shoulder.

If you're an adrenaline junkie, there's also always rook runs for general stuff you need. Love the class's whole concept.

Breakfast sausages come precooked, warning them up is a coward's convenience.

How fast can you hash? If you trade off space for time, keeping a table/dictionary/bloom filter of every A+junk and B+junk is fundamentally O(n). Key by hash and add every attempt until A collides with a B entry or vice versa.

Calvin and Hobbes panel: Calvin looks up at his dad, who is putting on a bike helmet and about to go on a ride
Calvin's dad: "Sure! 'Cyclists have a right to the road, too, you noisy, polluting, inconsiderate maniacs! I hope gas goes up to eight bucks a gallon!'"

Ha, I think this might be the best AI Disclosure on Steam.

I think 1) has an even more fundamental problem to it, UBI/post-scarcity and CEOs-as-we-know-them are fundamentally at odds with each other in the same way "benevolent dictator" has shown itself to be. Even if they weren't fascists, they'd still be CEOs.

It feels like her objection is less being alongside Shinji than not getting there on her own power. That's the conclusion, after all, that there ISN'T a scenario she'll be happy with because it can't ever be a future she made with her own two hands. But I'm not used to engaging at this level, so.

Isaiah here throwing out big brained Automata references in a skeet like it's nothing.

Though I think the film stops a bit short (hah) of a full rejection of putting Shinji and Asuka together. Twice she's shown fostering a relationship with him and both times she goes "that's pretty good, but..."

I had an almond milk hot chocolate once. Most miserable experience of my life.

My problem is I want to play with controller but I ALSO want to play lying down in bed, which requires levels of MacGyvering I'm not willing to commit to.

That's the thing that bugs me the most about handheld mode. The fact that moving the controls moves the screen a miniscule amount never lets me forget I'm holding something in my hands.

To be fair, this is basically what it said last time too.

I ran to read the chapter, and I kinda get it? Wild sentiment to conclude with though.

"but what if the jury says they're not guilty, but they actually did it?"

Good question, kid, here's why it's more important to protect the innocent than punish the guilty!

Telling my 7 year old nephew about jury duty led to me giving him an entire lesson on trial by jury and the importance of the 5th amendment (double jeopardy).
