Wow, I didn't know that! That's absolutely wild

.... The root of the thread you're replying's main body is stuff JSO has actually achieved.

Yeah fair enough, I didn't mean to contradict you, more add on to your comment

I'm assuming this is referring to JSO.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Stop_Oil

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]

On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]

Yes, a lot of their protests are "awareness" stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it's not just that. The UK isn't an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.

"Well and truly over two decades" is definitely true...

Exxon had a report in the 80s talking about a 1°C rise in "40 years" ie literally right now

... sorry, I don't get it

Ahh, that makes sense. Powers of two are real convenient. Your math is a little wrong though: X != (X & 0xFF) + (X >> 8), but X = (X & 0xFF) + (X >> 8) << 8 The right half can be removed entirely if you're doing modulo 16, since the first 4 bits will always be 0. So it simply becomes X & 15! Much cleaner for sure.

Would you happen to remember what the optimization was, mathematically?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20036698/subdivide-a-modulo-function-16-bit-but-can-only-do-8-bits-at-a-time#20036828 seems to say that it's "impossible afaik", and I can't seem to optimize it myself (though this kind of math isn't my forte)

Block the community?

Downvotes are disabled here actually, so that's why it says 0 downvotes

Last one is the only one I actually got (and MHA actually). It's animal crossing. Edit: Oh! Second to last is Artemis Fowl

I relatively often have an inner dialogue, but it's just me twice

I don't mind it tho, it's fine enough
