I can't officially support this fork ๐Ÿ˜

It's hard for me not to engage with their opinions. Like "no, that's not how that works," "There's more to it than that," "there are several things wrong with what you said." There's no point trying to argue on the Internet, but some of their comments make me angry. I especially hate when they support something just to "own them libs" like that takes priority over peoples' well-being.

It says garbage patch, not dumpster fire

 

Probably not a good title to seek upvotes. If it does get upvotes, more programmers get share in your pain ๐Ÿ˜…

What if you don't have a favorite programming language? I'm a firm believer that each language offers a specific set a features that makes each one uniquely suck and I often find myself at the crossroads of continuing to use this garbage or to learn a new language only to find it sucks in a different way. (/s another way of saying each language has its niche... (but sucks outside of it))

The "reasonable" moderate Democrats are hoping to win votes with: "We'll undo a few Republican initiatives and put our friends in offices, but otherwise keep everything the same." Can't imagine why that isn't getting them votes. In 2024 they ran out of Republican initiatives to undo and their platform was just: keep our friends in office and keep everything else the same. If they had other planned initiatives, few people picked up on them.

The nuance that makes this false is that the water will eventually get bored and seek another job.

I'm learning from the comments. I'm thinking poo water is recycled more often where there is water scarcity. My current town detoxifies the poo water and releases it back into a nearby river instead of reusing it as drinking water. It's not pure water, but some regulated blend that won't upset the river ecosystem. Lots of bacteria and other processes involved.

In elementary, we had a field trip to the water treatment plant. It stunk... badly ๐Ÿคข, but it was cool learning how it worked.

My mostly Hispanic hometown's water was mixed with recycled poo water. It was heavily filtered and processed and was probably safe... But still.

It also had a chemical taste to it.

Edit: In the US

Google and Apple have different versions of maps depending on what your country recognizes.
For example, it will shows territories claimed by China as part of China for Chinese IP addresses, but may show them as independent territories for other countries that recognize them as such.
