Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t text with commas in it get put in double quotes in acsv file to avoid this exact thing?

Like if I had cells (1A: this contains no comma), (2B: this, contains a comma), and (3C: end of line), the csv file would store (this contains no comma,“this, contains a comma”,end of line)

That’s a lot of trust on my butter fingers while trying to manipulate tools with my other hand…

You know what’s crazy? The show has existed for my entire life (I’m 36), but I’ve only seen like 5 episodes ever. And the movie.

When I was around 6 or 7ish, i was just getting into stuff like that and had seen the show a couple times. Then my grandma saw some thing on the news or at church or something and ranted about the show so much, about how vulgar and terrible it was. So my mom decided I shouldn’t be allowed to watch it. I was an obedient child, so I didn’t watch it. Then my older friend introduced me to South Park a year or two later, and mom hadn’t said anything about that show… I never really got interested in The Simpson again after that.

I’m sure they have. Just relaying my personal experience with it, though it may be outdated by now.

It wouldn’t just drop, like suddenly out of nowhere. It was on a kernel update. This was, I guess, 2018 or 2019? Can’t remember exactly.

I have no love for Windows (and active hatred for Apple), and I highly value much of the features, customizability, open-source culture, and anti-capitalist aspects of Linux. But it’s not perfect.

I’m a software engineer. I part pick and build my PCs. I’ve worked in IT. And I manage my home networking and automate my self-hosted media server. But when I tried fully switching to Linux a few years back, I held out for a few months, but it just wasn’t worth the hassle. My PC had an Nvidia graphics card, and I had no choice but to use a wifi dongle at my previous residence. Support for both was an after market hack job that needed constant maintenance. It was just annoying, my monitor’s resolution just dropping to 480p and the internet cutting out until I reapplied some patch job.

If I had built my PC with Linux in mind, I would have done it differently. And I’m sure that I’ll try again with my next PC when I can pick compatible hardware. But my point is that I’m far from the layman and still didn’t stick with it the first time. The average computer user doesn’t need a project, doesn’t need highly customizable everything, and doesn’t care about open source. They need things to just work. And I know the problem is the lack of Linux support from major tech companies, which is BS. But that means that Linux simply can’t provide that stability and just work for a more casual user. So it is not the best option for most people.

But anyway, I kind of like goto too much. I find it more intuitive to just jump around and re-use parts rather than think about how to do loops without too much nesting.

Might I introduce you to functions?

Need to write a prompt to the console and get an input? That could be a function. Need to check if a character matches some option(s)? That’s could be a function. Need to run a specific conditional subroutine? That could be a function. And function names, done correctly, are their own documentation too.

You main function loop could look almost like pseudo code if you do it right.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <string.h>

char* prompt_for_input(const char* prompt_message) {
    char temp[100];
    printf(prompt_message);
    fgets(temp, 100, stdin);
    temp[strlen(temp)-1] = '\0';
    char* input = malloc(strlen(temp));
    strcpy(input,temp);
    return input;
}

int string_to_int(char* input) {
    return (int)strtol(input, NULL, 10);
}

int prompt_for_loop_count() {
    char *input = prompt_for_input("\nI'll loop over this many times: ");
    int loop_count = string_to_int(input);
    free(input);
    return loop_count;
}

bool prompt_to_do_again(){
    char *input = prompt_for_input("Let's do that again!\nShallow we? (y/n): ");
    bool do_again = (strcmp(input, "y") == 0 || strcmp(input, "Y") == 0);
    free(input);
    return do_again;
}

void print_and_decrement_counter(int loops_remaining) {
    do {
        printf("Current = %d\n", loops_remaining);
        loops_remaining--;
    } while (loops_remaining > 0);
}

int main() {
    bool need_to_get_loop_count = true;
    printf("Hello.");
    while(need_to_get_loop_count) {
        int loops_remaining = prompt_for_loop_count();
        print_and_decrement_counter(loops_remaining);
        need_to_get_loop_count = prompt_to_do_again();
    }
    printf("\nBye\n\n");
}

Beat me to it!

I mean that is true of basically all structures and materials. It’s just the coastline problem. How long is the coastline? Depends on the level of precision you apply and the exact time you measure. Theoretically it is infinite if you keep getting more and more granular with it. That’s not helpful or meaningful for general purposes though.

You misread what I was describing.

That’s not entirely true. We don’t have just one hole going through us. Our holes branch. We have 3 intakes (2 nostrils, 1 mouth) and 2 outputs (1 anus, 1 urethra). If you simplified us down topographically, it’d be like you formed a donut around a starfish with the arms sticking out and then you just deleted the starfish.

Is “topologist” a job? Like someone who specializes in telling you how many holes and knots exist in a given object, How to “untie” seemingly knotted things that actually topographically have no knots? Do you clock in for that, or is it a 1099 freelancer thing?

Just remember that with challenges like that, the main purpose is to guage your problem solving skills. You don’t necessarily have to complete the challenge in time, don’t necessarily have to make it work error free, etc. They want to see how you work through it all. Don’t get me wrong, if you ace the challenge, that’s great. But they mostly want to make sure you have the fundamentals and skills to comprehend the problem and work through to a solution.

Thank you for your perspective and experience. This is conjecture on my part, but this is likely due to the fact that the foreskin keeps a small amount of moisture around the head of the penis making insertion easier and more comfortable for both of you. And because there is more skin on the shaft that can slide up and down with the repeated in and out motion, it causes less friction that can get uncomfortable over time.

Particularly one that is not solely cosmetic and will have a substantial impact on his sexual experience as an adult. That skin is meant to be there, it protects the sensitive parts of the penis from over stimulation when not erect. This constant stimulation on the head of the penis from clothing makes it less sensitive over time. And the skin being removed, itself, has sensitive nerve endings. Removing this skin means that circumcised men simply do not experience that same level of sensation from sex as they would have otherwise.

Beyond that. There are risks as well such as too much skin being removed causing the skin to become stretched with an erection, which can be painful and a possible source of sores and infection.

There is no good reason for it except. In the US, at least, it stems from weird prudish attempts stop boys from masturbating and has since then just become a norm that isn’t questioned. Well question it. Forget it is the “normal” thing for a second. Would you cut off your daughter’s labia to make it easier to keep clean or not breed bacteria or pass on STD’s or whatever other justification they have for circumcision? Are there any other parts of your newborn you want to permanently remove? To flay off? No? Then dont do it to your son’s penis.

It happens. There’s not typically a lot of attention drawn to them because it doesn’t sell tabloids to show pictures of normal people. But in all fairness to those that really don’t, it’s gotta be very hard for a few reasons. A) they don’t spend a lot of time meeting and socializing with normal non-rich people by the nature of their work and the culture of their industry. B) It can also be challenging for anyone to deal with and relate to such different life styles and dynamics. Celebrity, wealth, public opinion… how does a working guy or gal deal with all of that from a significant other. Not easily, I’m sure. Especially if the relationship is new.

So A) depending on the state or country’s age of consent and/or Romeo-juliet exceptions, their may or may not be anything legally disallowed by a 16 year old dating and being sexually active with a 19 year old or older.

B) It certainly doesn’t get more morally wrong in your situation where you’re already seeing someone 3 years older than you, as you get older. That difference only becomes less significant as you age.

C) If the age of consent or Romeo-juliet laws do not make a carve out for your situation, and you were dating and sexually active when they were 17 then likely your partner would’ve already been breaking the law before they were an adult. The difference now is that they’d be tried as an adult if they were to be charged.

D) As for the question, is there actually anything wrong with it. In the vast majority of cases, yes, there is something wrong about it, objectively. But also, it’s not necessarily a big problem in the end, sometimws. The problem comes down to three things. 1) Generally speaking, people your age lack real world insight into adulthood and adult relationships and struggle to make mature, rational, long-term-thinking decisions without the overwhelming power of novelty and emotion that comes with young love. I don’t say that to be insulting, just call it the wisdom of hindsight. We were all, to some degree, still kids at your age, and made stupid decisions that many of us regret. That is something an older partner should be cognizant of too, when they are receiving your consent to sexual acts, that your lack of experience means you may not fully appreciate what you are consenting to. 2) Even if you are mature, understand your decisions, and consent with the full understanding and appreciation of what that consent means, the relationship will almost necessarily have an unhealthy imbalance. They being adults typically means that they have more money, more freedom, and more control over the relationship. Truly healthy adult relationships are a partnership been coequal people. 16 year olds are still kids and typically still the responsibility of parents or guardians, still in school, still responsible only for a small fraction of their own care. And many at that age see older partners as a way to jump the line and soup ahead to becoming adults early, but it doesn’t work like that. 3) Even if it is legal, there is a stigma (and not a wholly unjustified one) that your partner will face that you will not. And if it’s not legal, there’s an even huger risk to your partner, losing their freedom, having their name in a sec offense registry, struggling to find homes or jobs, that again, you don’t face. That’s not fair and it’s simply not a good idea and it’s a risk to both partners.

But like I said, it’s not necessarily all that bad. It could be legal, mature, fully consentual, coequal, and neither partner suffers due to the relationship. And it can workout long term. But I do gotta warn you, that is definitely not the norm.

You’re right. The stargate is 6 Daniels wide as someone else pointed out. So probably not fitting an F250 through there, but a mid sized suv could pass through assuming there is enough clearance

Yeah, I get why it didn’t do a well. It was very tonally different from SG1 and Atlantis. But it was a solid sci fi drama/thriller and had a lot of potential that’ll never come to be. And I love Robert Carlyle in everything. It’s a major bummer.

I wasn’t implying anything of the sort, but ok.
