It never gets you into tricky situations, because it's not smart enough.

It is 1°C.
I think when the average is ≤ 0 for 5 days in a row it's considered winter, or something like that.

I wonder how many are actually abandoned, too.
Because there's parking almost everywhere, but often hard to find a spot.

Petrolheads, trying their best to look smart: "but what are you going to do with depleted batteries huh? Checkmate!"

Science: "The cells using recycled cathode materials lasted up to 53 percent longer. (...) The control cells degraded to 80 percent of their original capacity after 3,150 cycles and to 70 percent capacity after 7,600 cycles. At this point, they were done. Meanwhile, the recycled material cells could go through 4,200 cycles before they had degraded to only 80 percent state of charge. They reached an "astonishing" 11,600 cycles before 70 percent was the best they could do."

That must hurt...

I wonder what will happen to the collected ones.

How to bluff your way thru any conversation about which programming language is best: a guide

Attachments:

• Narrator: HOW TO BLUFF YOUR WAY THROUGH EVERY CONVERSATION ABOUT WHICH PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE IS BEST T-Rex: Man. Okay. You have probably made some bad decisions lately if you find yourself in one of these conversations. T-Rex: But it's not too late! T-Rex: All you need to know about these conversations is that nobody is right and nobody is ever going to change their mind ever ever, okay? Here's all you need to say: "Ah, yes, that language is good for domain-specific solutions, but it doesn't adequately address the issue of multiple inheritance out of the box." T-Rex: Just memorize that - phonetically, if necessary - and you'll be good. Observe! Utahraptor: Ruby on Rails is the best programming language! T-Rex: Ah, yes! T-Rex: But that... thing you said, with rails? It's a language for solutions but, um, what addressing issues are there? Like, inheritance of boxes? Utahraptor: ... That's - Utahraptor: That's...! Utahraptor: THAT'S...!! Utahraptor: That's not even English; I'm out of here. T-Rex: And THAT, cats and kittens, is how you win a conversation about programming languages. Now, I'm free to eat ice-cream sandwiches! T-Rex: CAN YOU TRULY SAY THE SAME?? (remote)
