absolutely. "Welfare" - the act of the federal government taking money from one (taxes) and giving to another - was regularly disavowed by the supreme court - until Roosevelt packed the court.
government is NOT your savior. In the area I live, one of the local counties has a 20 minute 911 response time yet some of the highest taxes in the state. We're not talking police, we're talking FIRE. People called the local fire station only to be told to call 911.
Meanwhile in other news, our "enlightened government passed a bill for 1.7 trillion" - making yet another year that Congress has not passed a budget.

This.
I was listening to No Agenda yesterday, a podcast that "deconstructs the news", and they played back some sound bites where one reporter was still calling this a "bomb cyclone" right after interviewing a meteorologist who defined what was needed to declare it as such (blah-blah-atmospheric pressure, blah-blah-needs-X-millibars, and this doesn't qualify at all). IOW, he was contradicting himself and kept using the name, just because it just sounds oh-so much more horrible and attention-grabbing...
Here, found the clip...this is the part where one says this does NOT qualify...greater discussion was part of the podcast itself (#1515, recorded on the 25th).

The BBC is currently reporting on the 'extreme' weather the UK experienced in 2022. We had a month or two without much rain in the summer and a week or so of temperatures reaching over 30°C during the daytime, and in December we had a week or maybe 10 days in which we had a light sprinkling of snow with night temperatures dipping to as low as -5°C in places. Extreme? I hardly think so! The media just love to exaggerate and never let the facts spoil a good story.
The developers I know who work from home just have kept on, as you do....

Maybe the problem is it's the wrong kind of snow?

Just had to snow blow the driveway once a day from Friday to Sunday so the lake effect snow wouldn't pile up higher than the snow blower.

In my part of Minnesota, we had temperatures consistently around -25 C, strong winds, and snow for several days.
The main hazards were poor visibility on highways, disrupted air travel, and a risk to exposed skin. Also repeated exposure to "the sky is falling" weather hype.

Where I live we routinely get wind strong enough to be given a name in Florida. We call it a zephyr and use it to meet our neighbors when we go searching for our patio furniture.

I thought this was a slang/abbreviation - not impressed.

It's in many dictionaries as a separate word: Google "Is ***** a word?" and you'll see how many.
It happens: language adapts to the changes to how it's users use it. Modern English is way, way different from the version from 1000 years ago. Heck, modern yoofspeak is differnet from that of last year ...

In my program, I am asking the user to input a date(in just integers ie 12 31 2019 367) and the number of days they add to it. In one of my functions, this is precisely what I am doing.
The user inputs 12 31 2019 367, and the program is meant to print 1 1 2021, but instead prints 1 1 2020(a year behind)...
What I did(Sorry for a lot of code, I tried to keep it simple and clean):
int days_in_month[] = {0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31};
void add_days_to_date(int *mm, int *dd, int *yy, int days_left_to_add)
{
int days_left_in_month;
while(days_left_in_month > 0)
{
days_left_in_month = days_in_month[*mm] - *dd;
if (days_in_month[2] && is_leap_year(*yy) == true)
{
days_left_in_month++;
}
} printf("after while\n");
if(days_left_to_add > days_left_in_month)
{
days_left_to_add -= days_left_in_month;
*dd = 1;
if(*mm == 12)
{
*mm = 1;
(*yy)++;
}
else
{
(*mm)++;
}
}
else
{
*dd += days_left_to_add;
days_left_to_add = 0;
}
}
int main()
{
int mm, dd, yy, days_left_to_add;
printf("Please enter a date between the years 1800 and 10000 in the format mm dd yy and provide the number of days to add to this date:\n");
scanf("%d %d %d %d", &mm, &dd, &yy, &days_left_to_add);
add_days_to_date(&mm, &dd, &yy, days_left_to_add);
printf("%d %d %d\n", mm, dd, yy);
} What I got after inputs:
Inputs: 12 31 2019 367
Output: 1 1 2020(meant to be 1 1 2021)
Thank you in advance and for your time and patience...
