Okay, ID stands for a location fixed until the object disappears, but we don't know where that location is. But what about object offsets from self? Is the beginning of self.spam always the same distance from the beginning of self.eggs? Or can I just forget the hard ground of assembler-metaphors entirely as I float off into abstractville? I guess the fixed lengths I kept getting on re-runs were coincidental but not to be relied on. -- Jim An excellent animation/graph of the accelerating disappearance of arctic sea ice, which controls climate in the Northern hemisphere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgiMBxaL19M It is incontrovertible that Something is happening.
