BSD celebrity death 

Mike Karels died on the way home from #BSDCan, at the age of 67.

gearty-delmore.com/obituaries/

This man spent 40 years working on BSD. His code appears in #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, and everywhere.

If you have used the Internet, you have used code he wrote.

RIP, sir. You changed the world for the better.

What's probably his last talk: "I don't have much to say," followed by a spellbinding eighty minutes. youtube.com/watch?v=XSziyKlG1w

Adding helicopters near the start of game dev:
"A Helicopter is a Vehicle."

Adding helicopters late in game dev:
"When you think about it, a Helicopter is really just a very advanced type of Door."

A license is what you get when politicians steal your rights & sell them back to you.

@beardalaxy @skylar I felt that way with Steamboat Willie going into the public domain. literally anyone has the ability to make an original Mickey Mouse story now for money, but all I've seen people doing is the equivalent of graffiti. same with Winnie the Pooh. felt just as crappy as when some libtard reboots a classic franchise to spew their garbage.

@santiagolmtz I just wish he would be open to interviews for shows like The Corbett Report or Red Ice, but he it seems like he assumes that most other people are controlled opposition.

@ArdainianRight Are you sure it wasn't created in a government lab?

My brother discovered that you can even shoot during the credits.

The only thing that would've made this hack perfect would be the ability to shoot Mario's floating head on the title screen, but this hack skips the whole Mario's face thing entirely.

@deprecated_ii Sure you obvious have to take into account for electric wires and plumbing as well as complying with government regulations, but it's honestly no different than working with the limitations of a city-building game or Minecraft.

@beardalaxy Most clothes people buy are usually a blend. It's hard to find 100% organic clothing, but it's there if you look hard enough.

The problem with synthetic fibers like polyester is that most of them come from petroleum and are linked to various cancers and infertility. In fact, I'd argue that synthetic fibers (namely those in men's underwear) are one of the leading drivers in the male fertility crisis.
