Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think university CS departments will teach this for years as a "what not to do" when rolling out critical new software.

That's fine, Amy.
Perhaps the ORCA creators can teach "what not to do," since I assume they'll be unemployed soon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Note, (for above discussion): Presidential campaign accounts (and perhaps those for Senate and House) remain "open" for 2 years so that various expenses can be paid, etc. There was no need to cut off credit cards on election day.

I think I've been paying too much attention to government/potical news lately. I just sat looking at the word LOTUS for a couple of minutes trying to figure out what the "L" stood for. Legislature? No one uses that right?
No, sometimes words in all caps are still words and not acronyms, self.

I have some helpless and panicking people too.
I told them--if you're not seeing the images in the right place, and you know where they are--copy them over, nuh? It's only a test scenario with an ad hoc architecture. I can't believe they've been spinning their wheels for hours and getting more and more asscappy and now they want a call. Copy and fucking paste, people!
