Here's the code in question. Strange, right?

// = help: the trait `Sized` is not implemented for `impl Debug + ?Sized`
// = note: the return type of a function must have a statically known size

if you notice quasisymmetric behavior in your mirror, your first priority is to remain calm. do not acknowledge the aberration in the presence of the mirror. do not allow your eyes to linger on the aberration. navigate to a mirror-free room before calling the hotline.

I had a friend who burned out from FB years ago when she was asking around for help with an undocumented GPU behavior and the developers at Nvidia referred her to herself. I heard she makes dresses now after divesting her shares.

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.
