Not just Trump. The entire GOP and every billionaire in the world are fighting to kill US democracy and the US Constitution.

You used to have master and slave processes too until it was changed to parent and child

Yeah, I’ve heard. I’ve always associated the terms with dom/sub play, not slavery.

I get the reasoning as to why, but it seems odd to me that the IT terms were fixated on, but not the engineering terms; “master” and “slave” are still the accepted terms in the context of hydraulic systems, for example.

It’s also generally accepted that “retard” and “retarded” are generally acceptable terms when used in an engineering context. If we can accept that some terms are accepted in the a technical context, it seems inconsistent not to apply the same thinking to IT terminology.

Just more stuff to keep us bickering with each other so we don’t look up and realize where all the real problems are coming from, imo.

“Ey gurl, don’t act like you ain’t see my pull request. Lemme deep scan dem packets.”

Don’t forget all the master/slave terminology

a reference to bootlegging alcohol

Kinda, sorta. “Mountain dew” is a euphemism for moonshine in the southern US.

The definition of “bootlegging” varies by who you ask. Some say it’s any kind of unregulated activity related to alcohol, which can include brewing; some insist it only refers to the smuggling or transport of the finished product.

So, depending on which definition of “bootlegging” you subscribe to, it may refer to that. But “mountain dew” means “moonshine” because most people who make it live in the Appalachian mountains

You’re just jealous because I’ve been online talking to hot babes all. day.

Lincoln practiced law in Illinois, was in the Illinois house of reps, was the US rep for Illinois, and lived in Illinois most of his life, but the log cabin he was born in was actually just outside of Louisville, Kentucky.

See, that’s funny because Ford does actually make Lincoln
