So, my cat died last night. (not looking for sympathy, he was old and had a good life, but it's the setup to this story). So I'm out there at midnight digging a hole for him because I don't want the kids to see him when they wake up, nor have him sitting around all day until I can do it after work. And I read the hole has to be like 4 feet deep. And it's amazing how fast your brain goes from "I'm sad my cat died and digging his grave is sad" to "HOLY CRAP I AM TIRED OF DIGGING THIS HOLE"

When I try to do a non-lethal takedown the normal way (sneaking up behind the enemy and pressing the takedown button) against an enemy in an exosuit, the attack just bounces off the exosuit, doing no damage and alerting the enemy to my presence.

@SaintWacko one doesn't exist and the other is the standard library implementation of a string

Kevin van der Velden

(Seriously, String is something defined elsewhere in your code, could be a typedef or custom class)

String is something you will hate, string is something pleasant

Kevin van der Velden

Because it's a microcontroller and std::string makes gleeful use of the heap

@SaintWacko based on the filename, "wide chars"
