They say it just tastes better. idk. I'm going to try it soon.

Someone just suggested to me that I should be putting my chocolate bars in the freezer first. I've never heard of this, but apparently it's a thing that I've been missing out on for a while.

So I guess I'm the one who can't believe that I don't do it.

After watching Pocahontas for the first time in many years, it shocked me that anyone could value personal wealth over coexisting. The antagonist only cares about mining out gold, looking at the hills as having potential as opposed to perceiving them as implicitly valuable as they are. Nature is worth protecting.

I loved both of these games as a kid.

Oh, okay. Thank you for clarifying. So doesn't that mean we should never have a compiler written in the same language that it compiles? Why would we ever choose to make the mistake of using the same language? Is it ever not a mistake?

Why would a Rust compiler written in C be more trustworthy than one written in Rust?

If the idea is that, in an ideal world, we would compile each layer of compilers from assembly-up-to-Rust for each build, that seems even more risky as then you have to trust each compiler instead of just one.

I'm still lost on why they're doing it.

It just felt so cliche, that the crazy discovery they make is that the strange stuff is alive. The writers couldn't make it sentient because then they'd need to explain why it's just like the Great Lake but different from the Great Lake. It just exists and Star Fleet happens to be the only ones who know about it.

lol, I love that you're conflating the creator having the budget to make the show more in-line with his original vision with someone else making a lousy change for no clear reason. It's a nice knee-slapper of a comment you have right there. Good luck with it.

Who wanted a visual reboot of the Klingons?

Discovery had so many problems for me: ship flies on magic mushrooms, her mom basically doesn't care about her anymore by the end of it - the show-starting plot line, and the Klingons look like sweaty orcs.

The idea that someone would introduce the verbiage "garbage collection" in the context of Rust is crazy to me. I hope they change that to "file cleanup" or... anything else.
