Yeah, you hear about this with the people who get taken in by Grubhub or whoever that's spoofing a restaurant's phone number/ordering site. I would never take a third-party source as authoritative, but apparently people do it

"lingua franca" does not mean French, if that's what you're implying. It originally referred to a trade language used by Italians.

Absolutely. Clicks are currency. A headline and domain name is not nearly enough to decide if something is worth giving a click to. I read comments first to figure out what the article is actually about, and get a sense for if it’s really w

No, Democrats only became anti-Putin after Trump. “The 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back.” - Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama. Remember how all the journos and Democrats barked and clapped at that line like trained seal

In which case the word doesn’t mean anything. Regardless of whether you agree, you know what the OP meant, because “politics” has a meaning, and it’s not “everything”.

My view is that using any Chrome derivative is still aiding and abetting Google. If Firefox really does die out and all we have left is Chrome derivatives, then yeah it seems like Brave would be the best option then, but that will be a sad

Speaking of inauthentic shills, how much did this guy get paid by reddit? If there was really a time where reddit was a good source of authentic information, it’s many years in the past at this point.

I don’t know where you went to school. I guess I know a “jock” type who was running a meth lab, I guess that is a kind of management, at least until he went to prison.

Lol, yes. Maybe we’ve worked at the same places.

I figured HN probably ran on an old desktop tower under somebody's desk, with a post-it note on it that says "DO NOT REBOOT!!!!"

I was looking in the past week coincidentally. The website supposedly shows stock in-store, but says they're out at the local one. Suppose I could call them and ask directly if there's a possibility the website doesn't actual

Sounds like this varies based on model and year? My 2020 Ascent is like this, with the touchscreen only for radio/CarPlay (and backup camera), though there is a physical volume knob (yikes, touchscreen volume control would be a nightma

Supply chain issues aside, I don't think that's true. This is about Miele, none of which are lower end, and here's the first dishwasher I randomly looked at on their site, and it has no Wifi. https://www.mieleusa.c

MEE specifically owns the rights to adaptations. Just using a name would not be related as far as I understand it. If there is a "trademark" issue, I would think they'd need to work directly with the Tolkien Estate, who still

Everyone talking about Blizzard, meanwhile, Activision is one of the original game publishers (1979). (Supposedly picked their name so that it would come alphabetically before "Atari".) That's older than EA. When's Micro

I remember regularly driving past the computer store in Boardman or Youngstown or whatever with the “home of Rusty n Edie’s BBS” sign out front. I called it a few times but it was never one of my regular ones, despite being active on severa
