Similarly, -itis vs. -osis. -itis means the part of the body is swollen, while -osis means the part of the body is damaged. I found this out back in 2012, when I had a very nasty case of tendonitis in one of my feet, and I found out that th

That's what computer monitors are for. Edit: I'm a big fan of the Cooler Master GP27Q and GP27U. They both have eye-bleedingly gorgeous HDR and won't break the bank. You can get the Q for about $550 and the U for under $900;

Boeing desperately needs to end up like Takata: fined 250% of their annual EBIT, forcing them to go out of business due to inability to pay their fines, with their assets getting acquired by a random competitor.

Todd Klein's entire blog is amazing. Elsewhere he has an entire six-part retrospective on working for DC in the '80s (aside from being a letterer, he was Assistant Production Manager for years) with tons of pictures of their offic

The problem is that smartphones had very little consumer uptake before the iPhone came out. You had your Windows Mobile and Symbian devices, which were popular among hardcore turbonerds, but normies weren't interested in them. And that

I wouldn't be surprised. I've seen people say that instead of reading articles now, they just open up ChatGPT and say "Summarize the important parts of the following article for me". My experience is that ChatGPT is laug

Suikoden II has been on my bucket list for years. Maybe I'll finally get around to playing it now, in his memory. Rest in peace.

First time was Butterfinger candy. There was a promotion in FF14 where if you bought a certain dollar value of Butterfingers and sent in a picture of the receipt they'd send you a code for a mount. I bought it expecting to not be able

There are also a lot of people who like to leave the TV on at a low volume while they go to sleep, because it's close enough to white noise that it helps them sleep. I think nowadays people do that with Twitch streamers instead.

Yes, this is exactly it. I've nearly been run over several times by people making right turns as I'm trying to cross the street with a walk signal.

It's funny, as a pedestrian I want them to ban right turn not on red. Or rather, you should only be able to turn onto a road if that road has a green light for going straight.

I personally prefer to combine CRT-Royale with GTUv050. This is the closest I can get to the feel of what games liked like on my screens as a kid. I'll also add that GTUv050 should specifically be thought of as an NTSC shader and not a

Honestly, just do it the manual way. Have three free-form fields: "Full Name", "Preferred Name", and "Formal Address". Yes, it'll mean more typing, but it's the only way to deal with several cultures.

My theory is that the algorithm that produces the front page relies on the largest subreddits all being public. But if it can't draw on posts from the largest subs, it'll have to dip into a bunch of smaller subs, and the part of t
