They aren't the same thing so the comparison is weird.

endl has a flush which is important when doing something like embedded work or RTOS development. If i was doing multiple lines they all were \n until the last line when i actually want to push the buffer.

Obviously depending on the tuning of the compiler's optimization multiple flushes could be reduced but the goal should always be to write as optimal as possible.

I'm imagining those early rocket failures where they just fall over and burst into flames.

Sorry i mean WILLINGLY pay.

It is the mechanism by which you get normal people to fund and promote horrible acts. How else could you get your grandmother to pay for hiding pedophiles from the law?

Sadly i don't think that will happen unless there is a substantial degradation of the quality of life in red states. The failure and the cause needs to be so mind numbingly apparently to even the most entrenched Trump supporter that they actually force their representative to join in on real reform. Unfortunately if we do have another election and control switches it's most likely going to still have 40% or more of the voting population have political blindness. Farmers will lose their farms and still vote Republican.

Then again you have female Republican voters and minority Republican voters, and farmer Republican voters... all who voted for their own destruction so I guess I shouldn't be too astonished.

It's the same as good ol' Mitch. He can hate others and not in one specific case. Being racist doesnt mean you have to be all the time.

What I don't get is how she could marry him. Who signs up or stays with someone who promotes hate for every aspect of yourself?

Been doing that for many, many years.

Just recently made some tweaks and now my vimwiki output goes to my Obsidian directory. This way i can get a nicer output on my phone when I'm really just wishing to search and read my notes instead of taking them.

For a long time I was doing a bullet journal for management and another notebook for notes, written in shorthand. was great for when i worked in an office, didn't have to lug around my computer. The downside was that deep searching for things was impossible. You tell me the day and I could find it but 3 months about at some point we talked about X...

Now that I've been work from home for 6 years I've switched to todo.txt and Obsidian (vimwiki set to output the same location). Syncthing to keep computer and phone working.

i also do 43 Folders for intake of mail and tasks with some sort of physical medium.

As for workflow I have a daily note template that has:

  • Morning routine checklist (already filled out)
  • Curated To Do list for the day
  • Section for Meetings / Calls / One Off Immediate Task
  • General Notes
  • "For tomorrow..."

My routine has steps for filling out the rest of the notes and lists, checking emails, 43 folders, etc. This way all i really have to do is follow the steps.

is that the part you sit on when you're up on your peddle stool?

I think what amazes me the most is that is seems like every single maga politician is an absolute garbage person. You'd think sheerly by statistics there would have to be one who isn't but apparently that isn't the case.

How do you "move on" from knowing my neighbors are nazi fascists? How do I just ignore the fact they voted to destroy families of people they dont like, dehumanizing them and laughing at it when people fall apart?

You don't get to pretend you voted for a fascist party and aren't a fascist yourself. We all know that if there is a Trump replacement when he dies these same people will want a new hate party leader in office. If you think we are just going to move in maybe ask the Germans how painful the transition of the 20 years post WW2 was for them. That's what is in store for the US if things don't change now.
