Excel does not need to be as opinionated or portable as a programming language. This might actually be a lesser of two evils considering what type of user behavior it encourages. (I've heard a similar ethos behind certain design decisions of Go)

The flexibility of Excel is a lot of its value. If it wasn’t flexible like this then how could it be so widespread as a general purpose business tool?

Excel allows and embraces whatever mess you want to make.

us-east-1 is finally looking pretty stable for once.

I imagine it has to be for their expertise in translating developer intent into practice and refining the shopify specific markup conventions. When I misread the headline as Spotify I couldn't think of why any org, even very front end heavy, would buy them. But continuing to support a language that will always be in it's own lucrative domain makes perfect sense.

The first airprods were so loose in the ear I thought the entire world was playing a prank on me when I tried them out.

Thirst affects me in a different way too. My throat doesn't feel dry and uncomfortable because before it reaches that point I almost get naseous.

I have such an urge to comment "lgtm" on the 197k line change PR

I make a pasta/antipasta joke every time I'm at an italian resteraunt and no one ever laughs :(

Annihilation of Italian food is nothing to laugh at, and is in fact a tragedy

I thought the entire point of being given a plate of Italian food was to annihilate it, followed by some tiramisu.

This is a poor example though, because I don't think anyone got away with it? And it was viral, but not organized.

That first run is pretty interesting because they clearly had the foresight to make things morally grey and the villians human. It's very clear they added some mustache twirling villiany to a few episodes as an afterthought. It's not even clear until like the last dozen episodes that Zeon is evil.

I know Gundam quality is a huge spectrum, but the 'sloppiness' of moral ambiguity in the first one is pretty great. Way too often (Z Gundam) they just do a timeskip and say "what if the good guys became bad after they won?"

> It's not even clear until like the last dozen episodes that Zeon is evil.

Zeon is literally portrayed as eugenicist Nazis early in the show. They literally chant "Sieg Zeon!" while saluting. Literally the very first episode shows Zeon dropping a space colony on Earth, essentially nuking a major population center (and says half the civilian population dies in the war.)

It's pretty clear Zeon is evil. What's unclear initially is that it was the Zabi family that made it evil.

Originally, Zeon was an idealistic movement by an essentially leftist philosopher (Zeon Deikun) whose work was co-opted by a militant autocratic family (the Zabi family). The leftist guy gets assassinated, and a big part of the series is watching his son, Char (the primary antagonist of the show) trying to take down the Zabi's while fighting for independence from the Federation.

It will be a withdrawal of US troops and bases with a wink wink. And nothing but impeachment can compel the president to actually respond to an article V call.
