  • Yes, they probably did...

    It just means that when "distracted", perception of time changes. For example, doing something you hate tends to feel like it took more time than something you enjoy.

  • They misspelled his name in the letter. Just show up the next day and act like nothing happened. I'm betting they wont even check.

  • TL;DR: It's David Zaslav.

    For anyone unfamiliar, just watch a couple of clips from 30 Rock with Alec Baldwin's character. Who was initially based on Zaslav.

  • Indeed, although this type of thing was more common with older wifi generations, so I'm not surprised kids these days wont know.

    For example: We cut the top off an old beer can, poked a hole and stuck it onto the antenna to have stable download speeds across a courtyard.

  • The show is pretty good too.

  • Everyone is starting to hate America!

  • Nowadays that's only true for movies.

    Depending on where in the world it's still mostly true for shows and music as well. Although they've been losing their near-monopoly, just look at how popular Korean entertainment is now compared to even a decade ago.

  • I wonder which of Trump's bribers will have a company be offered a big contract to "fix" this issue they created.

  • Yeah it's not the best, but it can be pretty effective since it evaporates at hive temperatures and disperses.

    The point is that the commercial miticides are far from the only option that works, and that they've known about the issue for decades.

  • Intrinsically so, as it's harder to take advantage of people if you sympathize with them.

  • What computer life hacks are your most used?

    • Double clicking with the mouse on a word usually selects the whole word with the space after, very nice for copy-pasting.
    • Double clicking on the selected word will sometimes select the whole line(In some applications it actually selects up to the newline marker, so it will grab multiple lines if resized smaller).

  • Japan island residents sleepless after experiencing 900 earthquakes in two weeks

  • My favorite part is how people in the public eye who present end-of-days predictions always have some weird excuse after the fact. As was beautifully parodied in Parks and Rec.

    In this case there have been impersonators, and the original author has no connection to a lot of the newer stuff. She is not trying to cash in or play things up, which is a wonderful contrast to a lot of people who claim to be doomsday predictors.

  • Yeah, it's not strictly narcissism, but in general it is lower level of empathy in varying degrees.

  • According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.

  • Based on the drop in Safari usage on mobile and desktop, and the increase in Firefox and Opera usage. I'm sort of assuming they swapped over to use the builtin VPN in opera or an extension in Firefox to bypass the blocks.

  • A quick and drunk google:

    • In 1939 the Soviet Union had around 171m people. At the end of 1940 there were about 1.5m people in gulags - 0.87% of the population

    • In 2023 the USA had 664k prisoners and a population of 337m - 0.19%

    Over the course of 40 years, 14-18m people went through the gulags, and over 1.5m people died.

  • It's narcissism. The driving force behind conservatism as a whole, is narcissism. They all think they're the special individual that will get special treatement. Hence the whole "leopards eating faces" thing.

  • The varroa mite has been blamed for years. It's been a growing issue for decades. And scientists found out in the 80s and 90s that you can use formic acid to treat for them, instead of any commercial miticide.

  • EA reportedly expects Battlefield 6 to bring in 100 million players, a number that even DICE devs don't think is feasible

  • Yeah, that's mobile game territory.
