For the nerds: song lyrics as pseudocode.

Can I use [pre]? I’ll try nesting [code] inside it. What will it do with the ampersands? No idea.

if ($belief) {print "I came here to stay";} else { local $you, $me, $him, @life; $you = Oceans(); $me = Oceans(); $him = Oceans();


    @waves = (Oceans(), Oceans(), Oceans(), Oceans());
    for (;;) {

	if ($you && $me && $him && @waves) {last;}

    }
    eval{

        print Parent($love);

    };

    if ($@){

        print 'ERR: Parent of $love unknown!' . "\n";

    };
    push(@life, $me);

    $me = pop(@life);

    push(@life, $me) || exit;

}

sub Oceans { return rand(); }

Three guesses on the band I used:

I meant both. I bet they aren't, and if they are, they ought not to. (I heart the English language sometimes.) As for the meaning that I think you're thinking of, a page on the Krishna Lunch web site says, "As a non-profit, we have no profits to cut."

My reasoning is that Krishna Lunch shouldn’t be profiting from me if I buy food from them

Aarghfuckinghellmodalverbs. Epistemic-should or deontic-should? I agree with the deontic, but do you have any evidence for the epistemic?

My reasoning is that Krishna Lunch shouldn’t be profiting from me if I buy food from them and that no one is going to judge me if I buy it.

People just sort of convinced me that it didn’t really matter if I bought Krishna Lunch.

Was there logic involved? :-) I’d like to hear it.

I’m not terribly interested in OpenID. I get lots of spam attempts every day, but very few ever make it through my hackish anti-spam barrier.

I’ve stuck with WordPress’s default list of allowed tags (which I assume can be changed somehow). Incidentally, I’d imagine that “small” isn’t allowed so spammers can’t stealthily introduce irrelevant keywords or something.

ambivalence about eating Krishna Lunch on campus. In the end, I didn’t feel so ambivalent about it at all

Is there new thought behind this decision, or did I miss a step on the previous post.

(Have you thought of adding an OpenID option? How much spam do you get? And “small” is not listed as a permitted tag, so this parenthetical is a test….

some sweet blueberry-flavored mashed-potato-looking thing

that’s called halvah. off-topic, but it’s crazy that i still know the minimal amount of html to italicize that.
