  • Agreed, not just because someone is being an asshole. Everyone should feel the need to protect their personal information, because the world is full of assholes of different levels and your personal information being publicly available can only cause harm to you. It really is as simple as setting your profile to "friends only" to counter the lowest level of assholes.

  • The distinction there is that they detect the activation command client-side and start sending to server after that. Chat control could technically be implemented in a similar way, where the client decides when and what to send to central processing. Only problem is... do we do all detection client-side then? Or do we let the user activate the detection by saying "Hey Interpol"?

  • Everyone regardless of victim status should use the tools available to protect their personal information online.

    If someone is publishing your personal information without your consent, local laws and regulations may apply. You kinda have to be lucky with police and the legal system to take you seriously though.

  • See? Trying to solve homelessness and other societal problems is immoral, demonic even! Because every solution I can think of is mass murder, so I just know that's what the left is secretly planning!

  • Can you get ammo laser engraved with anything you want? That seems like a lot of text for one bullet either way, but I don't know how big these bullets are or how precise the engraving can be.

  • How important is it to your theory that "hour" is related to "house" in... ancient Assyrian language? Because they're completely unrelated in English, "house" coming from Germanic hus and "hour" coming from French ore. If we look at ancient Greek, the two are hoora for "hour" and oikos for "house". I think English post-vowel shift has to be the first language where those two even sound similar.

  • The million-milliard system means a billion has double the zeroes compared to million, trillion has triple the zeroes, etc. In the English system, a quadrillion has 15 zeroes, so 4 times 3 plus 3? A quadrillion should have 4*6=24 zeroes.

  • King Cobra + Four Loko is the one I know, it's called a Hyper Viper. I've tried other combinations and they all taste the same, so I'd just go for thematic or pun-based combos.

  • If you're talking about Song of Songs, yes, still there. I don't think it ever appears in sermons though, it's not very quotable in a public setting.

  • Ruth is still in though, it's right after Judges.

  • The Polynesians took the long route.

    The European explorers actually took a very similar route, so this seems to be an obvious option for sailors doing island hops in that area.

  • It's just not on their radar at all these days. You want to develop and iterate quickly, so you're not going to program everything from scratch. No, you grab an off-the-shelf framework and implement only your business-specific things in that framework. There's so many layers of abstraction that optimization becomes impossible (beyond what the framework does for you), but it saves you a ton of expensive developer hours and gets you to market really fast. And when someone complains that your website doesn't perform for shit, you just blame their hardware, right? Externalize those costs.

  • There's also The Core where the hacker says "yea, I can do it", demands unlimited hot pockets and all of Xena Warrior Princess on VHS, then locks himself up in his room.,

  • I don't know if they are shopped or just imgen based on these hands, but they look very similar down to the light and dark patterns on the skin.

    If the proportions match, I'm saying shop, but I'm still not quite ruling out imgen that tried to recreate this exact picture.

  • 1 atmosphere is 100 kPa, so you'll have to take 5 zeroes off, but when the magnitudes aren't even in the same magnitude, it doesn't really matter.

  • I recently saw a return of the "chimney", but now they're large grated cubes with the aircon unit inside. Instead of hanging an ugly box off the side of the wall, they're up on the roof and camouflaged a bit.

  • I agree, the text looks more like a drawing tablet/touchscreen handwriting than actual marker on cardboard to me. It doesn't seem to be affected by the creases in the cardboard and the lines are much thicker for "Taylor" which doesn't make sense if it's all the same marker.

  • It has existed for decades (though it had a reboot), but it's spiked in popularity in the past few years.
