Some research earlier today suggested that some specific model may even have alkaline batteries, which are less thermal runaway-ey than lithium ions.

I’m just seriously impressed that someone could get enough explosive into the package and still have a functional pager that didn’t set off alarms.

Now known as Cavazos. The country decided to maybe not name bases after traitorous losers.

Defense Production Act! Bab-ieeee!

This is actually pretty important to being able to solve engineering problems in the real world. Invariably, every little sub industry has its own cursed unit system. And dimensional analysis is great for solving real problems on its own.

And if you get to a high enough physics level, they start setting hbar = c = 1 or G = c = 1, and you never have to worry about it again.

I’m the mean time, it’s worthwhile to learn the trick to do this stuff fast-ish.

Skip aero. Let’s go back to compiz fusion and deskcubes.

There’s also D. You could just upgrade to D.

When Fortran was created, each line was a separate punched card. The syntax made sense for that medium.

C was setup from the start for use on teletypes with fancy line editors like ed.
