Like in a housing shortage you’re hoarding property and profiting off it.

Housing shortages are caused by bad government policy: namely, low-density zoning. Direct your anger towards the entity that deserves it, and make them fix their fuck-up.

(Note: I'm not making some kind of Libertarian "all government is bad" argument here. I'm saying that in this specific case, the laws need to be changed.)

US, mid thirties, and I not only drive a manual transmission, I go out of my way to insist upon it. For example, I own a truck and an SUV made in the '90s because it's difficult to find newer ones without an automatic.

Not for long if Lennart has anything to say about it, I'm sure.

The European Union is a confederation, just like the United States under the Articles of Confederation was.

People in North America identified with their colony/state first, and the United States second back in the 1700s. Give it time...

I get that they’re different countries, but different states here might as well be.

^ This guy Articles of Confederation.

(Seriously, the European Union basically has the same kind of structure now as the United States did between 1776 and 1789.)

They were both apparently being broadcast by ABC at the time, too.

Edit: wait… return ! 0 ; wtf

I mean, returning non-zero exit status on error is just good practice. It even managed to evaluate to the same numerical value as EXIT_FAILURE when I tested it on my machine (gcc 11.4.0 linux x86-64), although I'm not sure if that's always the case or if it's undefined behavior.

This cursed code is quite well-written.

Yes, as are n and i. Do they not deserve 'fleekness?'

My argument applies to any cylindrical projection.
