Literal smokescreen

The bark side has treats.

They do. And you can generally trust banks to try and sell you what's most profitable to them.

It is pretty close to where the sun doesn't shine.

Do the math. See how rational the fear is. Whatever the result, admit you're afraid and decide if you also want to be brave and act despite the fear. Make a plan. Start working on it. Hopefully things are better on the other side, but either way that fear will pass.

Fear is a natural part of human life. Often useful, but also often not. But as long as you can manage to act despite your fear, it won't harm you.

Ok, cortisol and stress exist, but you have bigger things to worry about.

same watts and volts but more amps

Laws of physics: defeated.

Tesla, funnily enough, is also quite subtle. As is Alfa Romeo unless you count the entire scudetto as a logo. Ferrari. McLaren. Lamborghini. There might be a pattern there.

Maynard's Dick?

Is benevolent dictator still the official title?

Can you believe they put that thing in writing?

Absolutely.

Almost every sentence. But funny self review and other things aside, main problems:

"Watts... Contains." Is a fundamental confusion on what a watt is. It's like asking how much fast there is in a box.

The answer has a good basic idea, but also a total comprehension failure not just pulling the numbers out of thin air, but badly describing an equation with watts on one side and watt hours on another. The answer is both ignoring realities and getting the hypotheticals wrong. Sounds expertish but is both wrong and useless.

When they could have just said "yes, you could use a suitable inverter with a suitable battery and a fridge in some cases, but the math and actual connections would be more complicated than that explanation" or something like that.

Little dictator energy

Any sort of super strength without added toughness and motor control. You'd break your own body let alone everything around you pretty fast. Same for juggernaut movement. Or high jump type flight.

I've never heard of a library card costing anything. But I guess I'm not really surprised if that happens somewhere.

Read that as "join watch list" first.

Hot Fuzz. It's just hilarious and fairly well done and people I know generally appreciate the style.

Technical info: Type annotations don't do anything, but they help some people to feel more comfortable.

Prime already has ads and they are obnoxious. They are their own ads. Is outside ads the new development or what? New tiers?

You are not right and this is s toxic assumption.

Q: "Why are companies ..."

A: Money.

Every time. Sometimes also some competitive advantage or image or by mistake, but even those are just money with extra steps.

One day Ethernet will be replaced with a new technology. It will be called Ethernet.

Pinching pennies tends to be a really bad way to improve profits, though. Especially if you're lowering customer satisfaction or attraction in the process.

Not that companies and managers won't still try doing just that.

Most likely metal dust, called fallout by detailers and "flying rust" by some. Mostly comes off brake discs and railroads and other things that grind ferrous metals.

Common pest for anyone washing their car. There are chemicals that are useful. Mostly those smelling of eggs and turning purple on contact with iron.

A more optimistic view might be, that the user could use the tool to help deal with their feelings and questions and lack of closure in a way that doesn't involve the ex or other people.

Once they've had their fill of ranting or stages of grief and reached catharsis, or they've figured out their own feelings and views, the model and all data could be destroyed and no humans would have been harmed in the process.

A suitably smart program might work as a disposable therapist of a sort. But that's probably quite far away from current models.

Realising that your partner doesn't care about you after 10+ years can indeed be hard.

Highly unlikely, but hopefully one day.

Ad blocker is kind of a sad name for a content/spam filter, a vital security tool, but that's what we got. Especially since browsers naively didn't include filtering and block lists by default and they only became common as add-ons.

Translation: play store will be showing even more ads.

I was once accused of being a democrat. I think. The comment wasn't very coherent and it was hard to figure out what it was trying to say. And I think it wasn't even referring to the same comment it was a reply to. But there was a lot of feeling in it.

I've never even set a foot in the country. Never will with the current climate either.

They already have ads. What's the change?

A few minutes ago maybe. She's still asleep next to me.

It is tempting to assume that older gamers exclusively play low-fidelity games on their smartphones. This is simply untrue.

While mobile is certainly the biggest part of the games market in terms of revenues, 55+ gamers account for 23% of monthly PC gamers and 11% of monthly console gamers.

Translation: don't get caught, especially in anything that would look bad.

Generally, the build up of CO2 is what triggers pain and panic of asphyxiation. Oxygen displacing gases certainly do cause fast unconsciousness and brain damage. Would seem very likely that nitrogen works well.

Nobody does, really.

Debian

• Say the current stable and testing version number and name clearly on the web front page. Actually put it on every single page instead of burying it somewhere. It takes no space at all and is stupidly hard to find of you're ootl.
• Nicer installer. Make sure images with WiFi drivers and firmware are easy to find.

Also I wish every distribution had a wiki as nice as Arch's.
