You don’t need to have a license to have a suspension on your license. I know it’s fucky, but the legal reality is interesting: a "suspended license is a state of legal reality where a person does not have the right to drive, even with a license. No one takes license away; it means that within a state that issued the suspension, your license is effectively invalid.
In CA they can actually suspend your license if you do not have insurance. CA law requires all drivers to have uninsured motorist insurance, specifically because of all the people wrecking shit without their own insurance.
I’m pretty sure I heard that you can be ticketed for a lack of uninsured motorist coverage, even if you don’t have a license or a car.
I can pretty comfortably read it backwards. Taught myself to read mirrored and upside down as a kid, because I had a lot free time. But It’s pretty fried, and it didn’t look right, so I had to know what it would look like reversed again lol
“You said the word cunt. Banned for a month for misogyny.”
If only there were a word for countries or other power structures that halfheartedly look for reasons to throw people who say things they don’t like in jail
you’ll have no one to share the journey with, you’re completely fucked if you twist an ankle, you have to carry everything you need yourself, and when you arrive you’ll be all alone.
Pat yourself on the back for having done the “right” thing (by whom?)
I do see a lot of America and American hate on here, I agree with a lot of criticism of America and it’s people but it does get heavy into generalizations on the latter end.
Technically correct, but your comment makes it sound like the military is actively commissioning movies, which is not the case. When Hollywood wants to make historical or war movies, they have few options:
Buy the equipment - one military ship or airplane can be more than the whole movie’s budget.
Prop/CGI - may look bad and doesn’t guaranty to be cheaper.
Get all the gear for free, loaned out from the military (including training and specialists) - but they get to edit and approve your script.
I wish there were more options for independent and critical movie makers.
The person you replied to said “subsidized”, which implies what you just explained. The US military provides support to movies and TVs. However, it would be naive to think that the military still doesn’t try to influence the production. It’s been a long time since I have listened to it but there was a podcast mentioning “Zero Dark Thirty” having influence from the CIA; and the movie is about justifying torture to get results for “the greater good”. This is in spite of the report commissioned during the Obama era that torture never yielded any significant results.
“Actively Commissioning” and “Subsidizing” are two different contexts. Your points are all accurate, but commissioning a movie means actually going out and saying, “we want this movie, and will pay/provide resources to it in order for it to get done”, versus “your doing a movie with military, we’ll provide resources in compensation for a meddlers credit”.
Same with games like CoD. Fucking Activision has former CIA execs working for them. And how they use real events in the games and spin them around to make America look like the good guy.
Using modern technology, you can write a C Windows application that runs on Wine that runs on Linux that runs on QEMU running on WASM inside a web browser running on macOS that runs on a virtual machine controlled by a Linux hypervisor. Even the individual instructions sent to the CPU are decoded by a layer of software that rewrites and reorders them inside the CPU. The CPU that may very well contain a smaller Pentium CPU running Minix to maintain operation of the rest of the CPU.
Software lunacy has made low/high-level programming languages obsolete. Everything can be distilled into Javascript runtimes, nothing is a real programming language anymore.
Can you just drop to assembly for what you want to do? Gnu compilers even have inline assembly, but with any compiler you should at least be able to built a separate, assembly, object file.
I can and have, and it’s still a tremendous pain in the ass to launder the addresses for labels. The hottest loop in the game draws an arbitrary span of the same tile. It should be trivial to do a jump table - to grab an address from an array and go there. 13 tiles? goto jump[13]. (Or really some stack / return shenanigans, because the 6502 is odd.) But if there’s any way to get cc65 to shove the location of an instruction into an array, I haven’t found it.
