  • Oh is that why people say you wouldn't like hot dogs if you saw how they were made, because they are just spam in tube form?

  • No, I haven't tried that. How is it? As awkward as those controls were, they also feel like a core part of the game, so I'm feeling oddly both attracted and repulsed by the idea. But I'll look into it, thanks for making me aware if it!

  • "If you're not a fan, bam! Drop a few used matches in that can and it will taste less like plain ol spam!"

  • Can you elaborate a bit on how notepad following a link can result in running arbitrary code? Cause it sounds more like a second vulnerability is involved, because a text editor following a link still shouldn't result in running whatever code is on the other side of the link.

    Though it is a privacy issue on its own, just like a tracking pixel or images in emails.

    I'm also curious what the actual use case is for having a link that notepad automatically follows on load in markdown. Or why they got rid of wordpad (their default rich text editor) and put it into notepad (their plain text editor), ruining one of the reliable things about notepad: it would just show you the actual bytes of the file, whether it was text or not, kinda like a poor man's hex editor (just without the hex).

    Makes me wonder if eventually opening an html file in notepad will make it render it like a browser. "Back in my day, we edited html in notepad instead of browsed it!"

  • Best movie ever made without colour IMO.

  • Yeah, I haven't really delved into Japanese rock, but there's plenty of banging tunes used as anime intros or outros. Dandadan, a bunch of the Naruto/Boruto ones, Hunter x Hunter, and Spy x Family to name a few.

  • There's a game I've played that was bad for this but I can't remember which one it was. Like all options looked neutral and reasonable but would lead to the character doing wildly different things. Or ones that looked friendly would be the opposite. Like if you choose "Agree with them", you might get "Yeah, you're right, you fucking asshole."

    Though it is a lot funnier describing it now than it was experiencing it, in the moment I was like "wait, no, wtf are you doing?". Seems like a game designed more for people watching than the one playing.

  • I recall reading something about some states either trying or succeeding to bring back debtor prisons.

  • It's just a cleaver, a cutting board, and a lead apron with a hole in it.

  • I wouldn't say zero scientific merit, but I do agree that some of their conclusions were overly strong. The "plausible" option really helped, rather than everything needing to be confirmed or denied.

  • Someone tipped me a tiny amount of some crypto coin on there, too. I did set up a wallet but then kinda forgot about it. Maybe I can pay off my place. Lol I remember it being one of the dumb ones, but tbh I thought they were all dumb. Still do, even if I did accidentally get rich lol.

    Oh wow, just checked it. It was about 0.15 BCH and yeah, it has gone up considerably since I got it. It was worth maybe a buck or two, apparently it's worth almost $80 USD today! That's like a downpayment on a stick of RAM!

  • Over the lifetimes of the GPUs, many that benchmarked higher on nvidia early on swapped places as the AMD drivers matured.

  • In a central banking system, the central bank can create and destroy money from nothing. All banks can do it, though banks that aren't the central bank need to hold on to a reserve portion which iirc is 10%, so they can loan out (effectively creating) 90% of deposits, which compounds (ie, if you deposit $100, the bank can lend out $90 of that, and if that borrower puts that $90 in their account, then the bank can loan another $81, meaning for the original deposit of $100, now $271 exists, and that $81 can be loaned against, too).

    Congress can borrow money from the central bank or other banks. It's also possible that they could seize the central bank and then just say they have the money and use that, though that's how Germany ended up with stories of people using a wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a coffee or diners paying when they ordered because prices would have gone up by the time they finished eating.

  • My guess is the loud bass vibrates dust particles that might clog up pores loose, or maybe helps with nutrient flow inside the plant. Like it's affected by sound not music.

    Though music might be generally better than most loud sounds because it's one of the few cases where sound can be loud but isn't also associated with something that adds more dust to the air, which might even give a net negative result.

  • You might get better results by going outside their channels and using legal options. Like not through the courts, but I think some jurisdictions have a law that you data must be deleted if a request is sent in writing or something like that. You might also be able to request they send you all the data they have (though this might cost money because they print it and mail it). I remember someone did that with their Tinder data for some article about how shitty Tinder is, though it depends on where you live.

  • I mean the masses are pretty fucking stupid and I don't think following them is a good strategy for life.

    Also, reddit was and somehow still is pretty popular and stack exchange is being killed by AI not discord, so that's not really accurate anyways.

  • Still damned if he does because either he needs to mention specific things to limit the scope of the pardon and incriminates himself, or keeps it vague and she loses the 5th ammendment protections from talking.

  • I wonder if that was actually just an attempt to sell more copies by describing the clearly better control scheme as scary as a challenge to anyone who thought it sounded ok. Like I don't think it took me long to understand that the Halo control scheme was a game changer compared to the ones that preceded it (other than mouse and keyboard).

  • But because there wasn't anything better to compare it to, it didn't feel that bad.

    Metroid Prime transcended its crappy controls. Like one of the worst control schemes but still one of my all time favorites.
