Apparently George Washington had a wide collection of engraved, jeweled, and otherwise fancy swords and carried a sword on him nearly 24/7.

Our system of charging individual people with crimes when governments hack stuff is weird. We're not trying to charge soldiers with crimes when Russia invades a small country but if they hack something then they get charged?

"The notion that Republican governors might be doing a better job responding to the pandemic and distributing vaccines than Democratic governors was not even entertained as a possible explanation for the discrepancy in case numbers."

Holy crap this is a real thing

Also I'm not trying to rag on rednecks. I spent Easter with relative jumping fences to check bait traps to run a trotline. I have no idea if trotlines are legal where we were.

Aparently swiss rednecks like to write "eidgenosse helvetia" on their stuff. It translates to something like "confederation of switzerland" and is roughly equivalent to writing 1776 on everything. I don't know why this information is interesting but it is.

Are web browsers caching stuff like react.js and other libraries?

"Functional programming does not have a single definition that's easy to agree upon. Some people use it to mean any kind of programming that centers around first-class functions passed around as arguments to other functions. Other people use it in a way that centers on the mathematical definition of a function such as ƒ(x) = x + 2; that is, a pure transformation of argument values to return values. I believe it's more helpful to think of it as a "spectrum of functionalness" rather than criteria for making a binary "functional or not" judgment."

God damn it.

I wish python had something like struct

I may or may not have just ordered 1000 primers. No confirmation yet.

Finally found a new barrel for an old family heirloom pistol. The old one was carried so long that sweat had accumulated in the bore near the muzzle and caused a ton of pitting. It was throwing about a foot grouping at twenty yards from a rest.

I don't think this is a long term solution

Stripped screws happen because people use the wrong size screwdrivers. Those kits with a dozen different screwdriver heads are no joke.
