Making email free was a mistake. Makes sense to encourage early adoption but long term it’s been a no-lose proposition for spammers, phishing, and general aggressive marketing.

Are there “burner sims” you can get nowadays that don’t require online activation (i.e. they can easily trace the sim back to you)?

If you look at broad based EU markets vs the S&P over the last year they grew about twice the rate.

Trump and other dictators are vain (uh, reviving an outdated class of naval ship and naming it after yourself sound familiar?) so they’ll prefer bombers, tanks, and rockets over some little robots with little propellers. They disdain things that look weak regardless of their usefulness.

If it’s OU, ‘no college’ is better.

I don’t know if it’s ever been tested but I’m sure Castle Doctrine is completely nullified when law enforcement is involved.

Not common I’m sure, but I once had an answer I posted completely rewritten for grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. I felt so valued. /s

The heavy use of slow motion kind of ruined it for me a little bit. If it was symbolic in some way my unsophisticated brain didn’t get it.

I probably got a lemon but regardless my XPS (~3 years old) is the worst computer I’ve ever owned. Touchy WiFi, battery that goes from 30 to 3℅ in a matter of seconds, randomly doesn’t detect the keyboard, randomly freezes, randomly doesn’t acknowledge it’s plugged in. Some days I just put it in timeout and use my 10yo netbook instead.

Dredd. The movie was only so-so but it was a really good setup for a sequel. Karl Urban also knocked it out of the park. The Stallone version was good for what it was but it didn’t really feel like Judge Dredd.

For pure energy efficiency it’s hard to beat an SBC (raspi, rockpi). Mine does a good job with Jellyfin streaming so long as I avoid transcoding.

“Fuck you mom!”

Then walk out and never speak to her again.

Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburger. It just pummels your tastebuds with fat and I like it.

Also your reputation. I had a Crucial SSD and was days from getting an identical one as a backup but then they said they were stopping consumer RAM sales so they’re now on my blacklist.

If you live in a region that snows seasonally then I’d say knitting. It can be a very therapeutic activity and when my wife wears her own knits she’s never cold. Knitted gear can also make great gifts and if you’re good enough it can earn some money on Etsy.

This is definitely a thing.

Big penises being more manly or making you a better lover. I’m sure wars have been started by men who were upset with their dick size and would do anything to make up for it.

Ditto. One of the biggest gripes I have with my servers is the fat UPS I have to keep next to them.

Or extortion. He makes a stink, they make some campaign donations, and he backs off or gives them a slap on the wrist.

Of course it is, because nobody is willing to try and quantify or qualify the harms that seeing pornography has on a young person. It’s just “adult content” so we’ll go so far as to put VR headsets on everyone and ask them to verify their age or else they get a PG, low-polygon representation of reality!
