Charlie Brown stands on the snow-covered walk talking to Patty, who is in her doorway. He asks,"Hi, Patty! May I come in?"
He looks down at his coat as she points at it and says,"Shake all that snow off first..."
She points to his feet and continues,"And wipe your feet real good"
He walks off saying,"I've changed my mind..it's not worth it!"

Transcript:
Charlie Brown stands on the snow-covered walk, shovel in hand, talking to Patty, who is standing in her doorway. He asks,"Shovel, your walk?"
She asks,"How much will you charge to do it?"
He replies, "Oh, I don't do it myself..."
He concludes, "I just rent out my shovel!"
Pretty sure any decent model could easily solve that anyways. To borrow a quote about bears from the National Park Service, there's now significant overlap between your dumbest users and the smartest AI.

Good thing nobody's archiving sites like this, and the pictures are gone from the internet forever.
The best description I've seen of hotel art is what happens when you go to the store and say "One Art, please"
To join in the obligatory reminders:
Some background on this comic:
This is interesting, but the post is very inaccurate. The first picture is Portrait of a Moor by Jan Mostaert, and there's no indication that it's a portrait of Reasonable Blackman:

The second picture was drawn by a modern person, and isn't even supposed to be Blackman, that's what the artist thinks Edward Swarthye might've looked like:

All that aside, here's what the book Black Tudors has to say about him:
A surname alone cannot confirm a person’s ethnicity. Although Reasonable’s surname would seem to indicate the colour of his skin, it is in fact an old English surname, derived from the Old English Blaec mann, as are ‘Black’, ‘Blackmore’, ‘Moor/More’ and ‘Morris’. It could also be spelt Blakeman, Blakman, Blackmon or Blackmun. A John Blakman was living in England in 1206 and the name was fairly common until the thirteenth century. By the Tudor period, the name was found in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, Fowey, Cornwall, and Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire. Henry VI had a chaplain named John Blacman, a fellow of Merton College, Oxford. A different John Blackeman was buried at Grey Friars Church, London, in July 1511. A third man of the same name was a benefactor of St John’s Hospital, Coventry. None of these men was African.
‘Blackman’ may have originated in reference to a dark complexion, but by the sixteenth century it cannot be assumed to signify African ethnicity. As William Camden noted in 1586, ‘surnames began to be taken up ... in England about the time of the Conquest, or else a very little before’. Theoretically, a man called More in 1566 could have had a Moorish ancestor from five hundred years before, but it is a rather remote possibility. We cannot even assume that ‘Blackman’, or names like ‘Moor’ or ‘Niger’, were originally assigned to men of African origin. Wilfred Niger was nicknamed Niger or ‘the Black’ in around 1080, after he painted his face with charcoal to go unrecognised amongst his enemies at night. The names could also refer to dark hair (Black), or to someone who came from a place called Moore (in Cheshire), More (in Shropshire), Blackmore (Essex), Blackmoor (Hampshire, Somerset) or Blakemere (Herefordshire), or even to someone who lived on or near a moor. In Scotland, the surnames ‘Muir, Mure, Moor, Moore, More’ referred to ancient ‘residence beside a moor or heath’.
It is only because Reasonable Blackman was also described as ‘blackmor’ and ‘a blackmore’ that we know he was African. ‘Blackamoor’ or its variants was the most popular term Englishmen used to describe Africans, appearing in some 40% of references to individuals in the archives, and in literature from at least 1525.
Because there were not enough justices for a quorum—the court needs at least six and only Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson remained—the court affirmed the judgment of a lower court to dismiss the lawsuit.
Clever. Appearing to do the right thing at face value coincides nicely with getting the case against you dropped. It's likely impossible to sue a majority of the Supreme Court if they don't care to be sued.
That's 👏 what 👏 CI 👏 is 👏 for
Warn in dev, enforce stuff like this in CI and block PRs that don't pass. Go is just being silly here, which is not surprising given that Rob Pike said
Syntax highlighting is juvenile. When I was a child, I was taught arithmetic using colored rods. I grew up and today I use monochromatic numerals.
The Go developers need to get over themselves.
Somebody isn't sanitizing their inputs properly. Like putting a bandaid on a heart attack
