Half as Interesting has a video about low flow toilets. When the US passed the 1992 regulation limiting the amount of water a toilet could use, manufacturers rushed to meet the regulation and their designs were terrible. That’s mostly because the quality tests they had to pass were also out of date. Testing standards eventually updated and by 2003 low flow toilets were flushing better than old models with a fraction of the water. More recent models flush even better.
So OP’s complaint about low flow toilets hasn’t been true for 22 years.
A guy at my work got promoted to manager and celebrated by tattooing the company logo onto his chest. Pretty much everyone had to hold back laughing when he showed it off.
The industry is completely different now. The original was made in the 80s when programmers were hard to find and it took 10 of them 2 years and a million dollars to make. Then physical cartridges needed to be made and distributed that only ran on specialized hardware that also needed to be made and distributed. It selling for the equivalent of $180 could be justified since it was niche technology. There’s a reason Biggie Smalls brags about owning a Super Nintendo and a Sega Genesis in a rap song. That shit was expensive even in 1994.
Today, someone can make Super Mario Bros 3 in a month after watching some game dev tutorials on YouTube, upload the .exe to Steam, and sell limitless copies to anyone who owns a computer. Selling it for $180 would be ridiculous. There’s no reason tech today should cost the exact same as it did in the 80s.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, if you romance the warrior Lae’Zel, you need to pass a strength check if you want to be the top.
Kojima putting a game about purgatory into purgatory. Bravo! He’s done it again!
This seems like a version of the Liar paradox. Assume “this statement is false” is true. Is the statement true or false?
There are a bunch of ways to break the paradox, but they all require using a system that doesn’t allow it to exist. For example, a system where truth is a percentage so a statement being 50% true is allowed.
For this question, one way to break the paradox would be to say that multiple choice answers must all be unique and repeated answers are ignored. Using that rule, this question only has the answers a) 25%, b) 60%, and c) 50%, and none of them are correct. There’s a 0% chance of getting the correct answer.
Microsoft not being able to market a video calling app during global lockdowns should be a case study for business students.
and then I sign it “Movie Guy”
is Movie Guy your pseudonym?
no it’s just a name I use instead of my real name
I love Home Movies
The ethics violation is definitely bad, but their results are also concerning. They claim their AI accounts were 6 times more likely to persuade people into changing their minds compared to a real life person. AI has become an overpowered tool in the hands of propagandists.
I honestly want to know what the game plan is for the 100 men. Like do you plan on knocking out the 400 pound animal with a spin kick to the head or what?
Oglaf?
Definitely! But as another comment said, there’s no guarantee a teacher will actually reframe the problem into something interesting. They can just give you work sheets and have you do them over and over and over. Math then becomes a topic that relies heavily on the teacher’s ability to engage with students compared to other subjects.
I think it’s a topic that just doesn’t interests most people, especially children. Where I live, solving problems like 10 - x = 4, solve for x
is taught to 10 year olds in grade 5. How many 10 year olds would think this is interesting?
In comparison, grade 5 science teaches cells are the building block of life, energy can exist in forms like electrical and light and can transform between them, and matter has states like solid, liquid, and gas. It’s stuff that ends up being naturally more interesting.

Pop!_OS, suspend. Rebooting causes Steam to forget about my second drive and I need to reselect it. I don’t need to do that if I use suspend.
These are all great questions for a lawyer and the answer is probably “it depends”. My understanding is that, if something has multiple licences, you need to follow all of them simultaneously. You can’t choose unless it’s clear that the author allows the choice by using “or” when listing the licences.
The best thing to do when something isn’t clearly licenced is to reach out to the author and ask them to clarify it. If they don’t write back then you shouldn’t do anything with the source material.
