Erik the Viking. I think it came with petrol coupons or something. Never seen it mentioned anywhere since.
Corbyn in the UK ten years ago had a huge groundswell of popular support that at one point looked like carrying Labour to a 1997-style landslide, until he was taken down by an organised campaign of pearl-clutchy disingenuous accusations of anti-semitism over his support for Palestine; a campaign that the neoliberals in his party were all too happy to play along with.
Thing is, you don't even have to be in a union to get the benefit of other industries having them. They raise the bar for everyone.

The code is a set of preprocessor macros to stuff loads of booleans into one int (or similar), in this case named 'myFlags'. The preprocessor is a simple (some argue too simple) step at the start of compilation that modifies the source code on its way to the real compiler by substituting #defines, prepending #include'd files, etc.
If myFlags is equal to, e.g. 67, that's 01000011, meaning that BV00, BV01, and BV07 are all TRUE and the others are FALSE.
The first part is just for convenience and readability. BV00 represents the 0th bit, BV01 is the first etc. (1 << 3) means 00000001, bit shifted left three times so it becomes 00001000 (aka 8).
The middle chunk defines macros to make bit operations more human-readable.
Calling SET_BIT(myFlags, MY_FIRST_BOOLEAN) gets turned into ((myFlags) |= ((1 << 0))) , which could be simplified as myFlags = myFlags | 00000001 . (Ignore the flood of parentheses, they're there for safety due to the loaded shotgun nature of the preprocessor.)
My LinkedIn feed is now full of Suggested posts from people with things like "Vibe Coding guru" in their strapline posting bullshit tracts about how Vibe Coding Isn't What You All Think. I keep blocking them but LinkedIn keeps suggesting them.

It was a major plot point on one of the seasons of The Sopranos. Junior ordered a hit on Tony Soprano after Tony found out that Junior ate pussy and teased him for it.
Of all the notions that exist around hypermasculinity, this one is the weirdest.
It never really felt to me like the tech bubble crash was that big a deal to many people outside of a group of greedy rich assholes. There's always collateral damage of course, but the only change I really witnessed was a stop to people getting paid 20x the median salary after spending a few weeks with a Teach Yourself Perl in 24 Hours book.
"As of 2024, the Adolph Coors Foundation is the only one of the three organizations still publicly disclosing support for the conservative group."
The fucking WHAT Coors Foundation?

If his wealth were a US treasury bond, he'd have to spend at least $50,000,000 every DAY in order to not still keep getting richer.
Take a moment to think about how difficult it is to spend $50,000,000. If I gave you 24 hours to do it using Brewster's Millions rules, you'd struggle.
There is no good reason for billionaires to exist.
