This is very sad. YouTube has done this to a lot of content creators over the years, so there is no sign they have any intention of fixing this trigger-happy problem. Most of those content providers survived the hit, but they didn't ge

How do you sign things? Printing? Most signatures are in cursive, so I wonder how someone signs things without having learned it, or how they know what other people's signatures even say. Many wedding invitations use cursive writing th

And this makes sense, as some sayings would be unrecognizable word salad in other languages and cultures. Early Arctic birds don't catch many worms. Gold in the mouth is something popularized by rappers (grills) back in the 90's,

An important note is that an employee was (allegedly) fired for making a point that the carbon fiber was two inches too thin. They also apparently didn't even report it until 8 hours after noticing it didn't resurface once communi

I live in Ontario. Many years ago, my boss did the "Bring your kids to work" thing, and his son took to hanging around my area. He was 12, and nearing lunch it became obvious that he could not read the analog clock. I asked him st

Thankfully it wasn't that lazy of a post. But it is often the case, like with links to Twitter, or random words on Wikipedia. I'd like to see the actual math and sources, though. It is interesting if the factoid is correct, an

Is it the microwaves effect on the popcorn, or the fake butter that might cause "popcorn lung" if the fumes get inhaled, getting modified into PFAs by microwaving? If it's the first, I'd expect almost everything you nuke

They're not cool again. But it's a good reminder to some (many?) that they might have a collection of music they've forgotten to recode to MP3 or OGG. Just remember that an OGG of an MP3 is still MP3 quality. It doesn't

On ChatGPT you can give feedback. Also there is a sort of upvote checkmark thing that I think helps them gauge good response patterns to feed back into their updated versions.

It's not news unless it is regular. Try it a bunch of times and see how the "4 out of 5" stands up. It very well might. Or you might also not ever find another one. You won't know until you try it. Put it this way: you c

Ah, so it might have been a fluke. I took "4 out of 5" to be a ratio, but now I realize you mean just for this list. You really should should re-ask it a few times to see. And then if it's not a fluke, try with a prng to se

Consider using something like Markdown New Tab. This will allow for more entries that can also be organized by topic, etc, using Markdown. It can also be used for TODO lists, etc, which are all things a teenager can make ample use of. For e

Along with uBlock Origin, I've been using Ghostery. It blocks the stuff uBlock misses. It also takes some of the load off uBlock, which on my laptop used to cause a bit of loading delay. One of my favourite plugins is Markdown New Tab.

I hope they publish some theories as to how this is advantageous in terms of evolution or survival. From the outside, it seems counterproductive. But the fact that it persists in fly species, there must be some sort of advantage to it.

Indeed, you're right. I thought at its most basic it is just egg whites and oil, but googling that specifically says mustard is part of the recipe. So it's still a mystery why McDonalds doesn't just call it Mayonnaise when th

I didn't and wouldn't assume it's a mistake. Huawei came up with a name that Apple wanted, somehow, before it was ever announced. Someone is peeping into someone else's business. In which direction?

As a motorcyclist, I concur. I'm pretty smooth at getting from zero to road speed without making the passenger seasick. But I can tell by the sounds of the highway, a lot of passengers probably hate motorbikes because of their pilots.

I asked Google this very question earlier today, and got a great answer. With the electric motor, when you "step on it" you get a loud droning sound that does not rise with the speed as a driver would expect. This really messes up
