Good call. Put a fence on the land they bought to prevent Trump from putting a fence on the land.

They sued to get the rules changed because they said far more black students were being accepted than they thought deserving. They won. Now they're upset because the number of Asian students declined after admissions could no longer see to the applicant's race. Am I reading that right?

Because only one of them is actively serving as a US Senator for Ohio, the state in which the supposed migrant pet eating crisis is taking place. The other doesn't have a job to resign from.

Even simple lies like this stress me out. My method is to just abruptly say, "sorry, I've got to go" and hang up. If asked about it later, "I'd really rather not talk about it." They pretty much never ask about it later though. Zero lies, zero stress, and you don't have to keep talking on the phone.

"Engineers have been circulating an old, famous-among-programmers web comic about how all modern digital infrastructure rests on a project maintained by some random guy in Nebraska. (In their telling, Mr. Freund is the random guy from Nebraska.)"

That's not quite right. Lasse Collin is the random guy in Nebraska. Freund is the guy that noticed the whole thing was about to topple.

Each dev kit is $450. Being able to test on an emulator is free. Sure, you ultimately want to test on hardware, but indie dev teams aren't going to shell out that kind of money for each developer. Who gives a fuck about indie developers though, right?

Only 30+ year old cars, but a coat hanger can do that too. Soooo...
