80,000 pounds is slightly over two tractor trailers' worth. For the whole country, that's not a big deal.

Have you tried ironing out the wrinkles?

Also this classic xkcd

Oh no. Are you telling me that an xkcd numbered in the 2000s is a "classic" now? Yikes

So the problem here is this.

  1. Imagine that you have terminal cancer, but you're not a famous virologist.
  2. Somebody comes along and offers you untested, experimental treatment injections for the low, low price of $75,000.
  3. Gofundme.

I've seen exactly that type of scenario play out with my own relatives. It's a good reason why medical treatments marketed to the public should be proven to be safe and effective.

Read your physics textbook. There were so many S tier German physicists in the first part of the twentieth century. They remade physics in their own image.

And a whole bunch of them left in the 30s. Quite a few ended up working on the Manhattan project. Werner Heisenberg didn't leave, and eventually headed up the Nazi nuclear weapons program.

Even if you do have an MMU, there's no guarantee that you'll get a segmentation fault from a memory bug. You can still just get the weird side effects, if you fail to access the incorrect memory.

Undefined behaviour means exactly that. You have no idea what you could get.

For "reasons" GCC outputs "a.out" as the default file name, even if the output format is actually, ELF, PE, or whatever.

Override this behaviour with the -o option.

Are "fat bikes" the over powered electric motorcycles? 'Cause we got problems with those in the United States, too.

This is probably also true. When In'n'Out conspicuously puts the potato slicer in view of the counter, they're really making a statement that limits which ways they can cook the fries.

Not necessarily for the better.

Fine.

Although the tenth does end with

Once upon a time, straight outta school, I wrote up solutions to problems from the Serway physics book. For Chegg. $5 per problem.

Fuck Chegg.

Yeah. He's just wearing some kind of standard Bajoran civilian uniform, right?

(And the military Bajoran uniform is red)
