Confederate battle flag had flown outside San Francisco’s Civic Center since 1964 as part of an 18-flag display intended to symbolize the various stages of American history, according to contemporaneous news reports.

In case you are like me and wondering why there was even a Confederate flag flying at San Francisco city hall.

I saw a really good demonstration of this once, but I can’t seem to find a video of it.

Basically imagine a rubber tube with 4 balls equal distance apart from each other.

–0–0–0–0–

If you stretch the tube from both ends all of the balls move an equal distance apart.

----0----0----0----0----

There is no one ball that is the center or the starting point. However if you focus on one ball while stretching it will seem like the others are moving away from it. But in reality they are all moving away from each other at the same rate.

There was another documentary that says he fought Bigfoot while a bunch of shirtless guys went jogging.

If I remember correctly from my German class in highschool, the rule of thumb was if it’s an inanimate object use the feminine Die. That was in the mid 90s and I haven’t spoken German since, so that with a grain of salt.

I’m an American who lived in England for a couple of years. Due to American media the majority of everyone understood what I meant when I said things like soccer, trunk or hood of a car, fries, etc. Words with different meanings between the two could get confusing like biscuit, chips, or pissed.

Since soccer doesn’t have another meaning I never ran into someone who didn’t know what I was talking about. However, when saying football in an American accent some thought I was referring to American Football by default.

I can only remember one instant where someone did not know what I was talking about. That was when I asked someone at work where the dumpster was and I got a blank stare. I explained, the big metal thing outside for trash and they were like, “oh the skip”

I think this is a fake quote that somebody made up for an Internet comedy bit

You can tell by the pixels

This is the thing I love the most about the younger generations now.

• Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
• Gen-X: nah we’re too nihilistic
• Millennials: sorry we’re too busy trying to survive on the scraps you left us
• Boomers: that’s what I thought

Now:

• Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
• Gen-Z/Alpha: okay!
• Boomers: no, not like that!

My dog stopped falling for this after I got her to chase me back into the house a few times

Just like there is no Blues Brothers sequel and Terminator ended after T2.

Also, is worth knowing when not to optimise. Code you can read is code you can maintain, and some optimisations are not as readable.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. So many people want to equate the number of lines as a sign of how well it’s programmed. But all they really do is chain a bunch of stuff together that makes it harder to debug.
