Some people like the Apple ecosystem.

Without jpeg compression artifacts how the hell are we supposed to know which memes are fresh and which memes are vintage???

The label is in Chinese (simplified characters common in China) and translates as “100 rainbow chrysanthemum seeds”. I have no idea whether the contents are what the label claims.

I have this theory that Americans suck at math because they insist on sticking with the imperial measurement system and so nothing makes mathematical sense - Americans intuitively just think in every day units qualitatively. Whereas the rest of the world uses metric, so base 10 math just comes naturally.

The Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu Ting who was also DQed by the IBA with no evidence also won gold. Her coach thanked JK Rowling, saying “most people probably didn’t know or care about women’s boxing. Now the whole world knows Yu Ting and Taiwan and that she is a champion.”

pi-hole ftw. the vast majority of my pi-hole's DNS drops are from various Roku and Roku-like devices. Also, put all your IoT stuff onto a guest network, or if your gear supports it, on its own VLAN.

They’re all fake. The real one got eaten by Kirby.

It’s a good article. It explains rural America. It doesn’t explain the well off assholes living in Huntington Beach CA. It doesn’t explain the well off assholes living in suburban Inland SoCal. It doesn’t explain rich privileged shitheads like Musk and Thiel.

I don't know if this sort of thing is allowed, but if outsiders can donate money to his prison commissary account, I will definitely donate.

Isn’t part of the charm of memes the shitty compression artifacts?

There is yet one more alternative to pirating, and that is to simply not play the game. I’ve been so much happier since i stopped consuming mass media. No cable, no streaming.

You can block YouTube ads simply by connecting to an Albanian VPN server.

Yeah but Customs is at point of entry whereas Security is at point of departure. So Security would not have caught contraband rotten fish.

That’s not how vaccines and herd immunity work. We’re ALL going to learn the hard way.

Geez, has this dude never watched a crime drama before? If you’re gonna be doing bad shit at LEAST get a burner phone. 🙄🙄🙄

I read the post title as “Busey”, then opened the post, and got really confused as to what Gary Busey had to do with any of this.

Ikr? I fucking love fried chicken and watermelon but they had to go and ruin it for the rest of us.

I am not a fan of Taylor Swift’s music but I am absolutely a fan of Taylor Swift the person.

Down ballot candidates still matter. There are several tossup districts in CA for congressional seats. Vote like hell!!!!!

Frivolous? Yes. Fun? 😬😬😬

It is somewhat interesting that this is coming from Chinese and not American (geographic, not country) scientists. In Asia the staple crop is rice, not corn. Still a cool project.

According to his legal defense, the president has total immunity anyway so what do you care?

There was a recent story on NPR that addressed this. I can’t find it now but basically it said that all these studies in isolation have issues but now there appears to be a trend that transcends national boundaries and cultures.

Dude, a conservative headcount for COVID deaths in the US is a million.

It's not weird at all, once you realize it's all about a team sport mentality (and I'm being REALLY generous here) and not about integrity and honor.

This reminds me of r/shittyaskscience

NO SHIT. jeezus h christ NY Times tell us something we don't know.

三小 in Taiwanese literally translates as “what sperm?” But it means “what the fuck”.

Ok that’s enough internet for today

If SCOTUS rules like you worry they will, Dark Brandon better start taking the nuclear option with some shit. After all, he would be above the law.

Reminds me of when my university put up “stop sexual violence training” posters all over campus.

The mob is also competent

Assuming you are pro KMT, the irony of that accusation coming from the same party that carried out anti-communist witch hunts vis-a-vis the White Terror is just delicious.

Related question: are there sign language specific dad jokes? That is, corny jokes that work in sign language but not in spoken language?

Hello, in your alt text I think you mean to say “respectively” and not “respectfully”.

I can’t believe that “Secretary of State John Kerry” passed editorial review in 2023. In Nature. Makes you wonder why academic institutions are paying these journals exorbitant subscription fees for alleged editorial rigor.

Can someone explain from a technical standpoint how they can block OpenVPN running on port 443? my admittedly limited understanding is that port 443 is the common port for https. If they blocked that port wouldn't that mean that they would be blocking nearly the entire internet?

Free air conditioning!

I forget who said it, but an American general once said "Amateurs discuss tactics; professionals discuss logistics."

Typical Microsoft. For awhile Teams was working. Maybe it wasn’t anyone’s idea of superstar software but it worked well enough, and integration with O365 made it tolerable. Then they decide to push their updated app to everyone and now it sucks donkey balls.
