   I think changing location does have a huge effect. Personally when I go to LA or SF (from Texas) I get sick 100% of the time, without fail.

   Forums can have amazing longevity. In the past 10 years I’ve seen communities on social media go completely extinct multiple times (rip Tumblr) and yet I’m still regularly using a forum I’ve posted on for 21 years. They don’t have good grow

   Taking lysine is one I've read about in the past.

   The Plague Dogs is so unrelentingly bleak, few films have the spine to just be utterly hopeless. It's like a "children's" version of something like Threads or The Lighthouse lol

   This happened to me, somehow lightning caused some kind of surge in my Ethernet network and killed ports on 3 of my computers. Turns out cheap switches aren’t grounded, you have to manually put a wire on a screw. Sucks!

   No, the M1 Max beats the same processor in the article (i7-1280P) in Cinebench multicore: ~12365 to 11480. That is a 10 core M1 Max vs the 14 core i7. Your "fair fight" is just moving the goal posts to some other random non-specif

   The focus on node size conveniently elides that this is a comparison between a 14 core CPU and an 8 core CPU.

   Starship Titanic was creative and humorous. The character personalities were very detailed and interesting too, that stands out the most to me. They all had depth despite being machines. The crew is usually unhelpful and sarcastic and somet

    They’re burying the lede on this story. This guy runs an OnlyFans where he gets paid to dominate other men. He psychologically wants to be taller because he doesn’t feel like his (completely unremarkable) height is appropriately dominating.

    I guess the point is it's painting with a wide brush. Not every company needs a charlatan sociopath at the head. The CEO of a lawn care service is probably living a pretty mundane life.

    I mean they could just keep it in existence forever by issuing new debt, apparently. Everyone is excited about Disney 'beating' the Florida government but: is having some weird corporate carve-out of US territory that essentially

    This just reminded me of Sun HotJava, which was genuinely one of the worst pieces of software I have ever experienced.

    I think it's because the US is one of the few (only??) countries to allow advertisements for prescription drugs.

    Uh huh, completely new laptop and desktop lineup on a completely new architecture = no interest.

    Not really the topic but the area around the Salton Sea is one of the wildest things I’ve ever seen. It literally looks like an apocalyptic wasteland. There’s ruined, half buried buildings near the shores. Tons of abandoned structures. Also

    Makes me think of Love Canal, where they built a school and neighborhood over a toxic waste dump.

    Huh! I thought x86 Solaris was always free for personal use. I remember installing it on my desktop in 2003? I guess something might have changed in the past 20 years :V

    There were even hijacked AOL keywords with warez. The internal site builder had a simplistic BBS forum type thing, I remember one of those being used to link files. Very convenient!

    A classic non-prog method was to link C:\CON\CON in a chat room, it made Windows 95/98 bluescreen.

    Huge fan of this, started using it for practically every signup. I've already had the opportunity to shitcan an alias because it obviously got dumped to some advertisement list. Now I just need to work on untangling 15 years of other s

    Brzezinski is a very good example considering his “Arc of Crisis” strategy was to literally keep the Islamic states on the periphery of the Soviet Union destabilized. Not exactly a conspiracy, actual US policy.

    A lot of emulators are basically vanity projects written by one person, so it can become super personal. Criticism can feel like an attack. My friend wrote an NES emulator decades ago and he fit this model. Got into flamewars on Zophar&#x27

    There are so many things that make it an unpleasant ordeal. Having to hit 'see more replies' over and over. Having to click on individual tweets to see their replies. Pressing back and having your window reset to the top of the re

    I’m fairly sure there is no recourse since this has happened previously at places like Yahoo? They told everyone to be on site, even remote employees who had been that way for years. In fact it appeared to be used like a stealth layoff, so
