Make the variable a word size relevant to the processor's memory access width (eg 32bit), don't use atomic locks, mark it as volatile, write a comment about how things are perfect this way and lockers are losers; then rig the struct it's in to have a 50% chance of misaligning the 32bits (so two cycles are required to read/write to it) every time someone changes and recompiles the code >:D

o.o I had completely forgotten this.

Next you're going to tell me that strlcpy() is not real. I will not believe you. I will choose not to believe you.

Unit pedant here: Just 166W. Watts are joules per second (they already have time in them, adding another unit of time confuses things).

This might seem silly, but it will help avoid confusion when you encounter Wh (watts * hours).

I am using this one. Texting or messaging my phone (on anything that makes a notification popup) with the text "fmd password location" gives me GPS coords. More than enough for me, and works even from a borrowed stranger's phone.

Setup steps require ADB though, because in the phone ecosystem getting "unusual" permissions usually requires business deals with Google/Apple.

As of this month, applicants now face a record application fee of $11,710 — up $2,345 from the previous charge

That's 5x what it was. Hmm, that's odd. EDIT: Nope, see brisk's reply.

In an interview with SBS Nepali, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said he did not accept the way the visa fee increase has been characterised, arguing visa fees needed to be considered alongside other costs involved in moving overseas.

"Just remember with the costs as well, anybody who's travelling overseas for an extended period of time has already decided that they've got the cost of an airfare and, you know, the visa fees are, are well below that," he said.

WTF?

Has this guy ever booked his own flights? Brownwyn Bishop's helicopter rides were cheaper than that.

Maybe he's imagining moving a whole house of furniture and appliances overseas too? Does he imagine that's how people do this?

I 3d printed my safety razor handle: https://www.printables.com/model/591133-tride-safety-razor

Pros: it works fine.

Cons: I have reprinted it about 3 times over the past two years because the top piece is thin and delicate. PETG seems to work better than PLA.

For blades: I've found that any name brand works OK, and the generic unbranded blades are garbage (painful tearing/snagging instead of cutting hair). I wish there was a way I could tell just by looking at the blades but I suspect its microscopic details on the edge. The sound and feel are very different though.
