Also, it still counts as pushing straight to prod if your PR reviewer gives it a once-over and stamps it with “LGTM”

To have such a strong, undiffused, and distant light that it could realistically mimic the shadows on the moon, you would need very modern CGI to replace the shadows of every actor on every frame. Supposedly the recording we have of the moon landing is of a camera pointed at a tv screen because simultaneously broadcasting and recording at the same time was still newer tech that NASA didn’t have set up. And even then, you can see the quick falloff of the shadows and how they run parallel to each other. The sophistication to pull off a fake was just not there.

Most US military leaders are true believers in liberal democracy and The Good of US global hegemony. The leftist observation that these systems share a material base with fascism doesn’t mean that the open fascists coming to power in the military would not be an internal power struggle. They’re different factions.

If they were smart they’d purge the open fascists and insurrectionists but they won’t

Tigran Hamasyan (Armenian piano jazz-metal)

The Gabriel Construct (self-described as art music iirc, but basically just some experimental rock)

Jaggery (avant-rock, cool harp sounds)

Noah Sias (deathcore? Just so fucking heavy idk)

Bent Knee (experimental rock, just an absolutely gorgeous song)

Mel Bryant (indie rock, great hook, cool breakdown)

I’m gonna spend about 3 hours researching the local positions where my vote counts and leave everything where my vote has already been decided for me blank. Then, I’ll use all the extra time I saved from not pouring my brain down the drain watching endless election coverage to instead do some mutual aid, which has already saved several lives this winter. Fuck Donald Trump and fuck Joe Biden.

Moving away for school is a decent way to get away from overbearing parents if that’s an issue. Hard work is key to success, but letting your parents define success for you sucks, especially if you’ve never been given the space to get in touch with your own wants and needs. It’s a feeling of knowing that their success is bullshit, but having no other targets to shoot at.

It simply finds all possible digits and then locates the last one through the reverse indexing. It’s not efficient because there’s no shortcircuiting, but there’s no need to search the strings backwards, which is nice. Python’s startswith method is also hiding a lot of that other implementations have done explicitly.

I already write code in my sleep and it sucks. Pushing this code to production would be heretical.

I think I found a decently short solution for part 2 in python:

DIGITS = {
    'one': '1',
    'two': '2',
    'three': '3',
    'four': '4',
    'five': '5',
    'six': '6',
    'seven': '7',
    'eight': '8',
    'nine': '9',
}


def find_digit(word: str) -> str:
    for digit, value in DIGITS.items():
        if word.startswith(digit):
            return value
        if word.startswith(value):
            return value
    return ''


total = 0
for line in puzzle.split('\n'):
    digits = [
        digit for i in range(len(line))
        if (digit := find_digit(line[i:]))
    ]
    total += int(digits[0] + digits[-1])


print(total)

Those overlapping spelled out numbers were rough

You may be able to find a repository of example inputs and outputs to work with, but that’s generally frowned upon since organizing AOC involves so much work.

How do they even legally define what “the LGBT movement” is? Do they think that people are card-carrying members of some official LGBT organization?

Yeah it has big “the CEO of antifa” energy

No need to search when you already have someone you wanna pin it on.

Yeah, blackface is fucked up. And using spiritually significant indigenous clothing to go butt chug booze is fucked up. I think the difference is that blackface was never part of black culture. It was part of white culture. The appropriation part comes from the fact that it’s crossing cultural boundaries.

Funnily enough, lemon squash is what we call it when the elderly play racket sports

Look, just because PHP doesn’t have multiple inheritance doesn’t mean you can’t wildly overengineer everything.

The way people use words online is so debate brained. Cultural appropriation isn’t inherently bad. It’s just a thing that exists and holds connotations about an imbalance of exchange. Is aussie style sushi not still considered Japanese food? Like, we have california rolls, but no one says they’re eating Californian food while eating sushi.

“Lemonade” has several different meanings depending on where you are. Is aussie lemonade carbonated?
