I bought my first XBox because the XBox One Series S was at one time one of the very best 4k Blu-ray players on the market at any price and also one of the less expensive ones. The fact it could also play games was merely a bonus to me at t

The red pill, of course, being estradiol and the blue pill being an antidepressant. The Matrix was a film about discovering you are not who the world told you to be by two trans women.

Children go through puberty anywhere from 8 to 19. Generations ago, 16 to 18 was fairly common. Going through puberty late does not equal never going through puberty.

Reminds me of tapelooping and blacklooping. Not only urban legends were spread by fax. All sorts of scams, baseless legal threats, harassment, and more were too. Since in theory it tied up meaningful resources (time on the phone line and po

In particular if it's a serialized piece, like episodic television, and you meet "an old friend" of a major protagonist character (or in Star Trek a commissioned officer on the finitely-staffed ship) they've never mentio

I fully agree with this second, expanded take of yours. Some names are both represented and not represented by the Unicode simultaneously. This suggests there should be variant versions of characters, but that becomes an even thornier combi

A small company I worked for years ago had a similar problem on one of the gig work sites. Someone listed a dozen or so web sites they had designed, programmed, and provided to clients complete with links. The problem was eight to ten of th

I haven't interacted with the system in decades. I have some wishlist items from since then but I really need to give the demo some time to have an updated list. Those two alone seem sufficient for a release though.

For nostalgia purposes, I'd like to see MUSIC & MUSIC/SP source with a fully open license. It was on our mainframe at uni in the 1990s.

We used to use the same brand, but different models or at least ensure they were from different manufacturing batches.

If I bought a painting and sold it to myself for more money, I'd get investigated for money laundering. These people are taking things with no established market values and self-dealing with them. It reeks of fraud and misdirection.

If by "nowadays" you mean two decades ago up through now and by "everyone" you mean Larry Wall and the Perl community then I guess so.

I see a typo. You do not get to choose when a writer uses a contraction. You might expect that I'd have used "don't" there, but the simple truth is people use the full words even conversationally sometimes. This is espec

The 6502 was a clone-ish of the Motorola 6800 made to be lower cost. The 6800 led to the 6809 (another competitor,used by the Tandy CoCo and IIRC the Dragon) and to the 68000 series, used by Apple in the Mac, Sun in its early systems, NeXT,

The symbiosis of C and Unix is likely why we're not using Multics, VMS, TOPS, or something to this day.

You said the Russian language was outright banned. Show me that law.

The thread started by whimsicalism stating that Russian was banned in Ukraine, and I replied that it had a status similar to French or German in the US. Nobody has ever banned a language by allowing printing in it, allowing grades up to

Russian is as banned in Ukraine as French, Hindi, or German are banned in the United States. That is, they are not the primary language taught in schools nor the language in which government business is conducted but nobody's being jai
