Not just the US of A having it's annual "Get drunk and blow stuff up" day, but for England as well.
Yes, tonight pubs will open for the first time since March - observing social distancing of course, something drunk people known to be good at - with the Prime Minister urging everyone to drink "safely and responsibly".
Riiiiiight. That should work well ...
Expect "Lockdown V2.0 - this time we're serious" in a couple of weeks.
So, anyone in England heading pub-wards tonight?

Saturday night in Woking is bad enough at the best of times. I could walk to the pub/restaurant at the top of the road but no doubt that will be full as well.

The restaurant is not cheap but food generally is excellent. The pub side is nice too.

Good grief.
I worked in Byfleet for most of the 90's and some the 00's ...

I've lived in the area (Molesey, Walton, West Byfleet and now Woking) since 1995. Strange how we never met.

Condolences. Once the alcohol ban was lifted in South Africa there was a marked increase in traffic incidents, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm curious. Was there a lot of organized crime involving alcohol before the ban was lifted?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'm not sure. What I was referring to is more drinking and driving, causing accidents, getting drunk and then being involved in fights, etc.

you mean fireworks. I never saw anything actually get blown up on 4th of July. Interesting.

Drunk Americans (heck, drunk anyone) plus a huge amount of fireworks means anything can happen ...

Any high accelerant will explode if encased tightly enough. Considering I used to build sparkler bombs I can tell you you're wrong here. Sorry.

This is like problems that only happens in release mode - but work perfectly fine in debug mode.
But then, there's entire articles dedicated to this topic...

Which can be boiled down to "your 'uninitialized' variables are getting initialized to different values in debug than release"

Nowadays, sure.
I wasn't clear with my intent, but I meant there's numerous articles discussing how to debug release-mode apps, not why apps might behave differently.
