Really, I do wish they'd legalize lab-made meth to deal a hefty blow at eliminating street meth (and all the toxic byproducts generated from its production). And to have better treatment availability, options, and an easier time at being able to study it to better treat addiction. But not really for recreational use though - it's one of the few drugs I don't condone for that as its potential for addiction is just way too high.

I did just remember I had some success as a freelance programmer during high school. A couple TI-83 programs I wrote were hot sellers among my classmates (my program for linear systems with three variables was my best seller and most expensive program: even made one program for the nurses at a hospital for billing purposes), I made some websites in HTML, programmed in BASIC, started into C++, and I even made and sold some programs on hard diskette, back when we still had that as a standard feature on computers, lol.

I like to use easy computer languages and build on that because for me at least, it doubles the amount of content I can generate. A lot of people say "Well your performance won't be as good", but if I save half the time in an easy computer language, and spend some of that time saved optimizing extra, it really tends to equal out with still a time savings of 30%. And the end result in my view is about the same.

I had files of pre-written codes. It was heavily limited to commonly and frequently used codes, but I found it rather efficient and a major time saver to copy paste the "2x4 codes" into a text document, adjust them as needed, and add the rest.

I found out that with the Pi 4, performance is pretty much directly related to just how well you can cool it. I saw some benchmarks indicating that if one gets a 2GB Pi 4, and cools it with one of the best cases, it actually performs better than the 4GB Pi 4 on the default, signature Pi 4 case (which doesn't so much as have a fan).

Now this may not matter much when the Pi 4GB becomes widely available, people will say "Eh, pay $10 extra for 4GB memory or $10 extra for a case, and get about the same performance either way, what's the difference?"

But right now, the 4GB Pi 4s are super rare and scarce due to availability problems, so say you bought one on eBay, you'd be spending $25 extra over the 2GB Pi 4.

Also, one of the reasons why the 4GB doesn't perform much better, I think, is while the Pi 4 is a 64-bit device, it runs on a 32-bit operating system, which can only address up to 3GB RAM per an application.

Just a little food for thought.

Seems to me "not being able to see" is just an excuse given the frostbite thing. I wonder if it will ever be realized that being unsafe doesn't make you tough or strong, it makes you a dumb ***.

Not necessarily. But there is a chance some concerned parents group or other nutcase Christian group would hear "praise Satan, give your life to the dark lord, worship the Devil" in morse code. :cool:

I too find it funny at times, typically during a comedy when the bleeps add to the joke. Such as an episode of South Park, where it was pointed out in the episode you can't say f** unless the character is gay, so the bar was a scene of guys saying "you have to be gay to say *beep*?," "I can't say *beep* but you can?," until with one character, a red neck type, said "So we can't say f**?" Which was met with stunned looks and silence, and the gay character mentioning something like "well, we just learned something about you Jimbo."
And there was a scene on the Boondocks, where some of the characters went on they can use their own "n" word since they're black, but they can't say f**, and to make his point one said "n-a, n-a, n-a. *beep,* *beep,* *beep."
I don't know why the beeps are so funny at times, but they are.
