  • Totally agree -- that's why I park my truck in the right lane of the three-lane highway near my office. The traffic still has two lanes to use, it's plenty of space.

    My neighbors in my apartment block have been complaining that I've filled one of the elevators with storage crates, too, but there's another elevator and a set of stairs, so I don't know what's got them so upset.

  • It's a reflection of the podium and stage:

  • He'll blow a gasket when he realizes that less French wine import means a boost to the Californian GDP.

  • You reckon he often eats cheese that isn't square, rubbery, bright yellow, and hidden in a burger?

  • Indeed, here's Genesis 9:3, right after the Quite Big Flood:

    Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

  • Likewise in the UK. I'm less sure about the efficacy and ethics of speeding fines than many people in this community -- not to say they shouldn't exist, just that I've seen plenty unreasonably low restrictions in places where there's no heightened risk to the public, and that I'm not convinced that motorway/interstate restrictions are useful to the degree they're enforced -- but having the registered owner take the risk if the driver doesn't own up seems entirely reasonable.

  • Foddy's most recent game, Baby Steps, is getting good reviews. I've not played it myself, but it's a 3D game in the same genre; you're a very unfit basement-dwelling 30-something who gets teleported (in your onesie) to the wilderness, and you're trying to manage your balance as you make your way to a mountain.

  • That does seem to be the case - it's specifically Best Buy and they seem to have fed the spec sheet into an LLM to generate a description.

  • My parents were walking near the Balmoral estate years ago and an old lady gave them a wave as they stood on the verge to let her pass in her Land Rover. They gave a cheery wave back.

    They realised a little later that it was the Queen.

  • The photo was taken by a Boston Globe photographer on 15th January 1919 and has been archived by the Boston Public Library. The title of this post does mention it's been colorized.

    That said, autochrome photographic equipment was commercially available from around 1907 -- though it was very expensive.

  • Small amounts of dirt are going to harbor bacteria, and a soak and rinse (and a light scrub, if it's produce that can be scrubbed) will actually make a notable difference to the pathogen count. It's not magic, but it's good practice.

  • There’s been listeria outbreaks on waffles the past two years.

    NO ONE TOLD ME I HAD TO WASH WAFFLES

  • There's a non-obvious freeze function in the Task Manager - for as long as you hold the Ctrl key, it'll stop updating the list. I have no idea why this functionality is hidden, but I guess Dave Plummer had some unusual ideas about UX.

  • For sure, but when he says the right things to disillusion a fraction of the supporter base, let's recognize that even if he is a part of the problem.

  • White Ninja is a blast from the past! I'm sure I had a bunch of favorites, but this one jumps out at me:

  • When you install LibreOffice now, the set-up guide encourages you gently to use the newer, friendlier tabbed interface. I don't know if the same is true for in-place updates.

  • If you don't love getting dog shit on your newly washed car, you should have thought of that before living 2-3 counties away from a future Float-a-Poo owner, and you have only yourself to blame.

  • Continued exchange from Halo: Ghosts of Onyx (2006):

    Kurt said, "You just said they're gone. Which is it?"

    Dr. Halsey considered a moment and then replied, "Both. The quantum-mechanical implications do not translate to simple, nonparadoxical, classical terms."

    "Then let's stick to practical terms," Kurt said, growing annoyed. "Are they safe?"

    She tilted her head, considering, and then replied, "You could detonate a nuclear warhead on these pods and because the extruded Slipspace within is not in this dimension, there would be no effect to their contents."

  • Original reads "Naw, I'm the Grim Peeper".
