I’d never really thought about until now, but do Chinese (specifically mandarin speaking) 3 year olds use Ma in place of the English speaking equivalent of “why” (repeated ad nauseum until the adult being questioned snaps!)?

It’s Latin for “a person not welcome”

At the end of the article, which is already a litany of clownish buffoonery, it states that after destroying (effectively) the MRI machine in order to retrieve the rifle, he failed to retrieve a loaded magazine. So it was just left on the floor as they left.

Edit: autocorrect had changed it to clownfish

Unfortunately masks are most effective when the person with COVID wears them, rather than people who are trying to avoid COVID, but human nature is such that people with COVID (ones who go out in public) are often ones least worried about it so least likely to wear a mask in the first place.

I had a similar experience where I went to a conference and masked up religiously around groups only to catch it anyway while my colleagues didn’t mask and didn’t catch it.

Sometimes you can do everything right and still fail (paraphrasing Picard).

Gedit

You forgot KN#CKERS

First visit to the vet plays out like an Abbot and Costello sketch!

I live in Luxembourg and I have the same question!

I suspect it is trains going outside of the country but it’s funny to see nonetheless. I think most trains originate from Luxembourg (when travelling to other countries over anything that would be considered a long distance which I suspect gives them a scheduling advantage).

plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose

(The more things change, the more they stay the same)

Judges hate this this one trick. Call them rude words then they can’t convict you because that would make them biased!

Bring back national service, but exclusively for Orcas, they have too much time on their hands!

Stand and Deliver - Adam and the Ants?

I’m in my forties and I think every milestone decade has been better than the last. I also wholeheartedly agree with the above statements. I hope you continue to do the things that make you happy and carry on your enjoyment of them :)

I wanted to learn and I do that best by making games (find it holds my attention), found it a mixed bag, in that Bevy is quickly becoming the de-facto game engine in Rust (I know not strictly true but it is very popular), however that involves learning Bevy, rather than Rust.

So instead recently I’ve started making games with Yew (Web lib, using WASM) and Warp, to get to grips with those. I’ve been doing a game dev live stream too, where I work on a project (FOSS) to try and show the stuff I learned. Mostly just for the enjoyment of solving maths problems with an audience!

Sadly when I was laid off last year I couldn’t find anything in Rust but I’m hoping my next contract might involve at least some.
