Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality.
Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

I write full time largely because of one thread about getting high with the Irish president. As cringe as it is to admit, my entire life has been massively enhanced by Twitter and ketamine over precisely the same time that those two things have proven less beneficial for Elon Musk.

i don’t think i’m autistic because my mom took tylenol while she was pregnant with me, i’m pretty sure it’s because she decided to reproduce with a guy who had an engineering degree, a ham radio hobby, and an inability to wear clothing not made from natural fibers

When constructing tuple structs, you can use curly braces with integer keys. These are identical:
let x = MyType(1, “hello”, true)
let x = MyType{1: “hello”, 0:1, 2:true};
let x = MyType(1, “hello”, true)
let x = MyType{1: “hello”, 0:1, 2:true};
what's a bit of obscure rust/rustup/cargo/crates.io lore that you know?

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.
Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
My rage knows no bounds
