Affine Connection

Pretty sure Christopher Columbus is on record telling a native to “Love it or Leave it”

No, he was too busy with murdering them.

how is that even allowed

Just because he’s not a Doctor of Medicine doesn’t mean he’s not a doctor. A Doctor of Chiropractic is exactly that, regardless of its questionable merits.

A medical doctorate would be more relevant to a neurologist.

I was under the impression that the assertion that chiropractic neck manipulation causes vertebral artery dissection is often suggested, but that evidence of such a causation is inconclusive. I certainly believe it, but I can’t assume. Chiropractors may twist the inconclusiveness into suggesting that such neck manipulation is safe, but that’s a fallacy.

C was built mostly to abstract from assembly

Does a tree falling in the woods with nothing to hear it make a sound?

It’s probably № 1 on my list of stupidest questions. The answer is yes.

And GPL compatible, so a fork of tmux could be GPL-licensed on top of the ISC license.

use the app center

That’s a weird thing to call a package manager.

When was this?

The first time, I was barely sedated and had traumatizing hallucinations for what felt like ten minutes but what was probably less than a minute.
The second time, I was heavily sedated to the point of double vision and cannot remember anything after I put the mask on.

I found waking up unpleasant in both cases because of the paralytic agent.

That’s a hilarious thing to say out of context.
