Presently what happens when I take my meds. Seriously sedative.

That's what happened to our marriage when my favorite ex-wife found out about me and her childhood BFF!

BFF's are thicker than water ?
um, I mean, ... nah, stuff it

Yes, and she seduced me. 
On a positive note we were having a trial separation and after this disclosure I can say it worked.

I've been looking at that video a couple of times now, and I don't believe they're telling the whole truth.
The rocket arrives at a fairly high lateral speed from seven o'clock, overshoots, overcompensates and topples over.
Maybe because of lack of hydraulic fluid as they claim, but I believe it might be simpler than that. They missed.

They ran out of hydraulic fluid while they were descending, which caused vehicle control to fail. It's rather amazing how close they came.
Think of it as writing 10,000 lines of code and getting only one compile error on your first build.

Ran out of fluid.
That's the part I'm having a problem with.
All hydraulic systems I know about are closed systems, such as the brakes for a car, or the hydraulic pistons on an excavator.
If your car runs out of brake fluid you don't bring 50% more next time, as has been claimed, you fix the leak.

In worst case when I had to make a work around for third party libraries I did the following:

Take it to "Weird and wonderful".
P.S. -- "Dirty" would be defining it on the command line, in a batch file, or in a make file.

No not for government, for NSA
Ok in real it was #define private NSA

Dirty is the normal way in C.
If there's any other way, please explain.

Here's some of my C goodness from the late 90s:
# ifdef __OVERRIDE__
# ifdef strlen
# undef strlen
# endif
# define strchr(str,ch) str_chr ( str , ch , CASE_SENSITIVE , NULL , NULL )
# define strcat(str1,str2) str_ncat ( str1 , str2 , 0 )
# define strcmp(str1,str2) str_ncmp ( str1 , str2 , 0 , CASE_SENSITIVE )
# define strlen(str) str_len ( str )
# define strncat(str1,str2,n) str_ncat ( str1 , str2 , n )
# define strncmp(str1,str2,n) str_ncmp ( str1 , str2 , n , CASE_SENSITIVE )
# define strrchr(str,ch) str_rchr ( str , ch , CASE_SENSITIVE , NULL , NULL )
# define strstr(str1,str2) str_str ( str1 , str2 , CASE_SENSITIVE , NULL , NULL )
# endif

Today I had to call a function taking two int pointer arguments for returning some stuff. But I wasn't interested in those returned values (I tried with 2 nullptrs but fail) so:
int result = peskyFunction(new int,new int);
|
|
|
|
|
Won't those two int's leak?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
