Actually one of my most favorite memories because the simplicity of the solution using recursion blew my little mind. It was like discovering a magic spell.

Yes, vastly so. Time of year matters too.

Good for them. I knew a few people who worked at their California studios and they said the working conditions were brutal.

I think that $93 must refer to the big box that grocers buy, not the small box consumers buy. There's no way someone would pay that for like, 6 tomatoes in a box.

Agriculturally they aren't that easy. They are a tropical plant and, at least in my region where we have cold winter and a shorter growing season than Mexico, something like apples are way "easier" to grow and ship. I put that in quotes because fruit is a pain in the ass no matter what.

Edit: I feel like people here are bringing up gardening when this is a story about agriculture. The two are only loosely related. It's like saying you can get a beautiful plastic part on the 3D printer in your closet when factories in Mexico are down there injection molding them by the billions.

There's no way you can compete at scale when Mexico can get year-round crops directly in the soil. Mexico can't compete with Canada on rapeseed for the same reasons. It's just another reason why the tariffs are so fucking stupid for the USA.

Zuck building a bunker for his ex-military head of security who will murder him instantly.

I worked at a place where the asset management system was called "ASS" and yes, publishing assets was called "pushing to ASS". Unfortunately management eventually made the developer change it.

Θώθ, what's this?

In this episode Butters is visiting Niagara Falls as a tourist, but he is arrested for being a foreigner. Nobody cares about his passport or the fact he was there "legally" and he gets funneled into a huge prison facility called "Alberta Alcatraz".

After several scary experiences he is in line for a phone call. When he gets to the front the guard pretends to not understand what he is asking for.

  • Guard: WELL, what do YOU WANT?
  • Butters: Uhh I want to make a phone call, please.
  • Guard: Puh-hone call? Puh-hone? What's that?
  • Butters: I don't understand mister. I'd like to call someone on that phone.
  • Guard: Oh THIS? DO YOU MEAN-

The guard lets out a long, trumpet-like fart that sounds like, "fooooooooooone".

  • Butters: Wha--- what?
  • Guard 2: YEAH! YOU MEAN- (farting) foooooooooooone!

Apparently this is how Canadians make the word, "phone".

  • Guard 2: HEY THIS LITTLE YANK CAN'T SAY- (farting) ffhhhooooooone!!
  • Guard: HAHA!!! (farting) fuuuooooooooooooooone!

All guards start laughing at Butters and farting "fooooone". They can all apparently do this quite naturally.

  • Butters: B-but, I don't have to fart right now.
  • Guard: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEED TO LEARN TO SPEAK CANADIAN!

Butters resolves to save up his farts to get his phone call. Several days pass. Now trembling and sweating, a pale Butters can barely stand in line.

  • Butters: Oh man... I gotta make it...

The inmate in front of him effortlessly farts "foooooooooone" and is let ahead. Butters is up.

  • Guard: YEAH? WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS TIME?
  • Butters: I want... I want... I... uh... UH.... ahhH!!

Butters loses control of his bowels and sprays shit in all directions, then collapses. Everyone around yells in disbelief and disgust.

A large inmate walks up and looks down.

  • It's OK little buddy, my cousin had that same speech impediment.

Then I woke up.

I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants... Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

Sorry is there an Adrian Zenz-like figure I can ask instead?

Seriously though I admire that, despite all we've done to them, he still responds with a dignity that we certainly don't deserve. Of course we're totally deaf to this as a people, but I respect the gesture.

There's no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, "bots that aren't paying us."

Prefacing by saying I'm a total noob to webdev.

I'm trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I'm cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I'm referencing includes LightBox2 using this:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I have no idea.
