If you don't have a carry on, just get up and move. The flight crew has better things to do than check if you're in your assigned seat.

>Or do you believe that law enforcement is also state violence?

...It obviously is? How is that even a question?

These materials are transparent to some light. They absorb a lot of infrared and ultraviolet. The human vision system can see the light that isn't absorbed and as a result is abundant in our environment.

Good. AI is an evil technology. These data centers shouldn't be built anywhere ever.

The most regressive tax imaginable is a flat fee for every person with no consideration of income. That is exactly the effect of requiring everyone to own a car.

Congress doesn't spend to 2-3x what they collect. It's closer to 1.4x. Please don't spread misinformation.

There's actually a hidden lowercase feature, you can use an assembly program to enable it.

Isn't that what posix_spawn is for?

If you have a composite video adapter it's pretty easy to dub a YouTube video to VHS.

Or just straight up point the camera at a computer monitor, without even trying to hide it. Most of the security camera footage online is already uploaded this way.

A kingdom and a republic are also both structures, but I think there are some salient differences.

You need to authenticate to download the game, but then you can play it as much as you want even offline. This is true for Prism Launcher, anyway. I haven't used the official launcher in years.

Banning someone from driving is basically a nonpunishment as driving on a suspended license is barely enforced. Most people with suspended licenses keep driving.

That only worked because they expected to run over composite. Arcade cabinets used RGB which doesn't have the bandwidth limitations of composite.

It goes without saying that all binary network protocols should document their byte order, and that if you're implementing a protocol documented as big endian you should use ntohl and friends to ensure correctness.

However if designing a new network protocol, choosing big endian is insanity. Use little endian, skip the macros, and just add

  #ifndef LITTLE_ENDIAN
    #error

Or the like to a header somewhere.
