Yeah, at this point I don't expect him to last to 2029 (ugh, that number is too damn big) but also I'm not hitting F5 to see if he's out yet. He'll go when the shit stops missing the fan.

You take that back!

And if it is done right it can add a dimension of flavor. Carrot and onion develop a bit of sweetness when cooked a while. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but it's not exactly what you're looking for in a bowl of chicken noodle. Celery, being disgusting when raw, doesn't do that and helps break that pattern up.

Do you mean the leaves, AKA cilantro? Do you have that gene?

That only works if x is already 0

If i is 10 and x is zero, yes, x -= i would have a value of -10. If x was 5 from something else previously, x-=i would end with an x value of -5.

It's a valid mathematical notation, sure. But there is an implicit understanding that the - in this case is making a number negative rather than subtracting (or, an implicit subtraction from 0).

With the way negative numbers generally work in binary there would be much different ones and zeroes stored behind the scenes, so handling that would have to be pretty intentional.

That said, I did just try it in Java because that's what I work in normally and I swear I had a gotcha with that. But it worked fine as far as I can tell.

I had a package ship UPS out of Hong Kong recently too. Took a while to get out (I honestly thought it was going by boat) but once it did it was pretty quick. I'm guessing there's a big holiday backup right now.

x = -i;

Do many languages let you do that? When it's in front of a variable I would've expected it to be a subtraction operator only and you would need to do x = -1 * i;

You ok there?

To shreds, you say?

Ok Boomer

I'm going to guess that those highways between metro areas, especially where speeds like that are even feasible (highest speed limit in the US is 85) are so remote and sparsely traveled that that's not where the deaths are happening.
