What I find weird is the thought process of: - pretend to fuck a human? No. Don't want to encourage that. - Fuck a unicorn/dragon/Dionysus? Sure, why not... Who is conservative enough to want to discourage the one thing liter

Hidden features extends to many things. On NTFS you can hide an arbitrarily large file in the "Alternate datastream" of any file. Explorer doesn't show you alternate datastreams and certainly doesn't show you they are po

On older Android a press and hold on an SMS conversation brought up the context menu options, of which there was only one: SPAM - block this number. So if you accidentally hold the press for a fraction too long you block that number. And th

I agree the current copyrights are stifling innovation, and largely leveraging branding. Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek to name a few. These things haven't died out because they have people invested in their brand and storyline. But th

And here my approach to naming was: - veto names of dickheads I knew. Of course, I know good people with those names too but that wasn't the deciding factor. I simply didn't want my kids name to be associated with a dickhead in

I used meet.jit.si once but my own server mostly and I couldn't tell you the difference in user experience. Seemed exactly the same. Video: The default install sets up for 720p. It seems to start notably worse and then scale up to 720p

For me the biggest issue was authority/power on the Service Desk. The worse cases are when the Customer Rep gets a problem from a customer they have little power to resolve. When you are: - logging tickets to a black hole of "high

I too am a fan of Corningware. The shapes and weights suit me. It practically defines the concept of a bowl for me. But I note you said "borderline indestructible". Not just "indestructible". Which means I have found a f

It's "size of golfball" hail that makes me wonder if shielding the solar panel with 40mm wire mesh (often called chicken wire) is worth the solar efficiency loss. One thing about Climate Change is: more energy in the system m
