Just when you think you are done with work today, this deck of cards[^] will be your next fun project at home!

I'm amused, but $15 for one deck is kinda steep when Amazon will sell me two ordinary decks for $6 or a dozen for $15.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

But, men belong to Mars, and women to Venus.
So, who remains to celebrate it?

The animals?

Animals also being male or female, are also from Mars or Venus.

I beg to differ. It's men (not males) who are from Mars, and women (not females) who are from Venus.

OK. The the all members of the animal and plant kingdoms celebrate it. For them, anyway, it is Earth Day everyday, isn't it?

Not necessarily. Have you ever seen the way black goats can destroy whole groves of trees?
There are claims that over the last thousands of years, they have played a significant part in the desertification of what used to be the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East.

Those claims were made by someone from Mars, isn't it

I am referring to the species of goat that is cultivated by the Bedouin and others in the Middle East. The claims regarding the destruction caused by these goats are quite serious.
The idea that low-technical people necessarily live "in harmony" with nature is false. This is not the only example of a low-technical culture that has had a major effect on the environment.

Judging by their behavior, many computers are also from Venus.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I think that is still undecided: 5 reasons to believe computers are male/female[^]

I can soooo relate to that. The closest I ever got was ripping all the cables out and dumping a desktop unit into my desk-side waste bin. The photos of it went viral around the office

In the UK, we just hit them with hammers, and no-one gets arrested.
If that's not a plus for the anti-gun pundits, I don't know what is.

Here in the USA anti-gun pundits are a noisy, but totally ineffectual group. If you think you can take people's guns away - I will gladly introduce you to the typical Texan!

Oh, I get the attraction to guns. I've fired enough, and some of them are beautiful machines -- and, as a sport, shooting is fantastic.
It's the idea that they somehow empower you that doesn't wash, with me.
Having the right to own tools that can kill people you hate (try to find a gun site that doesn't go on and on about "pertektin' yersel' frum crimnuls an' ter'r'rists!") means that people who hate you have the right to the same tools.
The maths is just so incredibly simple: If no-one has the right to own such tools, then you yourself are far less likely to be killed with one. The same goes for schoolchildren.
!RocketSurgery;
Only idiots believe themselves to be infallible, and that's just the kind of idiot who believes that owning a gun "empowers" them or provides protection.

Yes, I see that: A more comprehensive rendition than the one from South Africa I posted.
I love the comment from the police officer: "The computer is not expected to recover." It seems the cops have a sense of humor after all.

I suspect at this point the window didn't simply go gray, display a "(Not responding)" message, and provide any option to wait.

On youtube I saw a video of (I think) some soldiers from Sweden taking apart a computer with a MG3 machinegun. I used to be quite good with the MG3, so I would love to try that once.
