This is a great post. +1 for potatoes and onions. (Just don’t store them together, they spoil each other faster)

One thing I’ll add is that if the OP is in the United States, commercially sold eggs have the bloom washed off them before they get to store shelves, so they MUST be refrigerated.

You can get dehydrated egg products that are shelf stable until you use them. They’re not perfect but for most purposes they’re good enough.

Must be reliving his memories with Epstein

The lawsuit in question is a civil matter, not a criminal one, but you are correct that that is the case if a state prosecutor does decide to bring criminal charges

Uh, nope, you’re putting words in my mouth. It’s not realistic to worry about mitigating that kind of stuff when we can’t even prevent ourselves from cooking ourselves, and several of the things you listed don’t even have plausible technical solutions right now. Nice try, though.

a planetary catastrophe out of our control

You’re still describing climate change. Science fiction ideas are fun to think about but our own inability to live harmoniously with nature is going to kill us off before any of those problems become relevant.

At the very least they need to invest in server side anti cheat. If that’s not viable they should be obliged to adequately moderate their game.

If you can’t accept business plans that make a little less profit to include sufficient human moderation to avoid heavyhanded kernel level anti cheat - you shouldn’t be in the fucking publishing business, you greedy weasels.

Counterpoint, if you have two monitors with different DPI scaling, window dimensions get butchered when moving between them

This looks awesome. Posting so I can read it later - the Mbin mobile site absolutely butchers your table, and I feel like submitting a bug report~

That is also fine!

If there are any R voters left in the Trump camp who have the capacity to be disgusted, this might push more of them to vote Harris/Walz

Stealing this to be annoying with

the court ordered Wikipedia to disclose who made these allegedly defamatory edits to the ANI page

… Isn’t the edit history public, though? They should be able to determine the IPs/users who are responsible for the edits.

I don’t know how the Indian legal system works, but then if necessary you would try to compel Wikipedia to turn over contact information for those users, as with a subpoena in US law.

…

…

After looking over the article, Wikipedia has turned over user info to that effect. ANI is mad because they weren’t allowed to edit their own page, essentially, which is disallowed on Wikipedia in general because of bias.

The hearing began in July after ANI petitioned the court, saying it had tried to change the allegedly defamatory material on Wikipedia but its edits were not accepted.

The ANI page was put under “extended confirmed protection” - a Wikipedia feature used to stop vandalism or abuse - where only users who have already done a certain number of edits can make changes to a page.

I mean, they’re used to mostly only getting their way when they cheat.

Projection as deflection? Well I never.

Not defending their practices, but I don’t think it’s scamming when it’s just openly a really shit deal and both parties agree

I am disappointed and unsurprised. Thanks for the info.

Pretty sure sleeping rough isn’t a felony, though I could be wrong.

Anyway, disenfranchisement isn’t a bad idea in theory, iff felony crimes are serious enough that one should forfeit participation in civil society. Also requires adequate checks on the judiciary. We don’t have a stellar track record on either of those, though.
