Nah, it's just hit or miss wether the freeze strikes or not. Can't get closer to the thrill of real Russian roulette than this.

In other news, Elon Musk was rushed to the hospital today because of 'a foreign object being lodged in his rectum'. A reliable source mentioned that the billionaire slipped and fell on an unfortunately placed basket of potatoes.

An attending physician anonymously commented that the object proved difficult to remove as 'the patient was extremely uptight'.

Further information will be shared as it becomes available.

And to add to that: "it's (a) sausage to me", het zal me (een) worst wezen, is also perfectly fine in Dutch. "It can rust my ass" is a bit stronger worded.

I let my password manager create 32 char passwords, that should be enough for a while. But of course then you have websites that throw you a 'your password is too long' message and have you find out by trial and error that they only accept 12 characters.

Or the off-by-one errors where they insist that 24 chars are the max, but in reality they accept 23. Probably never tested the limit.

Or websites that truncate your password after X characters when registering, but not when logging in, so you end up with an incorrect password and good luck finding out which limit the registration page actually uses.

but mysqli_real_escape_string() or any number of other similar solutions are indeed a thing that exists. A prepared statement would work, too.

You make it sound as if a prepared statement is a last resort. I would turn that around: as a rule always use prepared statements when dealing with user input. It's very easy to forget a single call to mysqli_real_escape_string().

Ah, so he's going to stop posting there? Right?

For $250000 I'm totally fine with him showing me his penis. Unfortunately I think he won't be interested now that consent is given though. ☹️

"You're not being sacked, no, we are releasing you into a world of opportunity!" Yes, a friend of mine actually heard that one a while ago when he was 'let go'. 🤨

As a developer I can only say: no matter how foolproof you make your product, you will always encounter that one special user.

Also, the shape has horrible aerodynamics. If it had a combustion engine, they couldn't sell it in large parts of the world due to fuel efficiency.

I doubt it will get a type approval in Europe anyway, seems absolutely no consideration for pedestrian safety has been given. If this thing is as stiff and solid as Musk said it was it is also going to fail miserably during crash testing. Having been in a car crash this weekend I can testify how crumple zones save lives. Good thing the whole "but it's a light truck" loophole they used in the US isn't going to fly here.

No. I'm exercising my Musk-given right of ultimate free speech and will continue calling it Twitter, just because I feel like it. Musk would be proud of me standing up against censorship. Oh wait..
