Yeah...I always looked at it like "the comments section". For a while, everyone joked about Youtube saying "never read the comments section, man!" Or you only need to look at the comments section on any large media outl

Yeah, I used to occasionally click twit links when friends shared in chats or they were included in articles. Now I just don't bother because I either see the first of multiple posts in a "thread" or nothing at all. Much li

First thing I thought of as well. Actually used to work with the guy who developed and maintains it. AFAIK they trademarked the name as well.

Not to disagree about the cheesegrater (I've been a DIY PC guy since graduating from my C=128) but I always loved working on those things and spent a bit of time trying to find any standard *ATX case with that sort of build quality - e

I'd imagine that for the vast majority (>99%) of users, it would stay exactly the same. You can download installers (a la any desktop/laptop) or go through a repo/store of your choice on Android and very, very few outside

I still think there ought to be some solution that includes both "apps can't force/trick you into changing defaults" and "owner of device can still choose to change defaults".

Yep! They actually feature photos of this setup on their site.

Does Tiktok also have "learn to drive manual" videos? Because I've yet to meet a kid under 18 who knows how.

If you wish to make fettuccine alfredo from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Bad at what? Typically when a compound is considered a "drug" it's - by definition - because it has an effect on the body/mind. Like the old joke says: why do people use drugs? Because they work! If I take an ibuprofe

It's how you avoid VR nausea from the disconnect between your eyes and your inner ear.

Seriously, we moved to the middle of nowhere when I was a kid and it sucked. Nobody to play with. Not much to do outside (it was mostly just fields). So of course I found things to get up to that often got me into trouble. Boredom and la

Probably? Because now I listen to a few streaming "radio" stations when I am in the car or doing work around the house. They are "linear" and human-programmed. Some pay for licensing and some likely do not. My current

Yep, had that and a Touch Pro before getting a Pre and then finally (begrudgingly) accepting that there weren't gonna be any more higher-end phones with slide-out keyboards.

Mine got a hairline crack in the chassis next to the charging port, but the magnetic charger didn't have the same issue (obviously). There were plenty of issues with the Pre and immediate followups didn't do enough to solve them.

But not in (at least much of) the UK apparently. I was on vacation in England and Scotland a year ago and many in our group came down with an annoying cold. Every chemist had piles of phenylephrine tablets but no pseudoephedrine (or even p

Thanks for the rec! Hadn't heard of this one but just queued up several episodes. Sounds like something I'd definitely enjoy.

In a weird coincidence, I just watched a video of her performing "Didn't it Rain?" a few days ago. Had heard of her but hadn't heard her until then.

Yeah, Firefox on my office desktop (10-core i9 with 16GB RAM. Crap GPU though) was unresponsive for a good 30 seconds before I was able to close the tab. Worried for a sec that I'd have to force close the browser.

Yeah, I never understood this sort of thing. I get paying to support artists and stay on the right side of the law/ethics. I get downloading a copy of something without paying for a license because it's easier/unavailable to

At least for cat5/6, wouldn't you be cutting and terminating once they're pulled? Never thought about pulling one of those with the connector on - for the reason you mentioned, but also just because you might not know how mu

Yeah, there were so many other things I did not enjoy about those movies that any potential weirdness from the higher framerate didn't even come into play. Rewatched them this past year while down with COVID and after finishing the LO

These don't even have the (more interesting, IMO) part though - the HUD. Glass was obviously an early experimental design with loads of shortcomings, but at least in concept, a personal HUD was fairly interesting. I didn't care a

Was very glad to have discovered (and seen live at the pub/venue down the street from where I was living!) during a semester in Ireland in the mid-90s. Never saw Shane/Pogues though.

Don't forget about Gen X nostalgia! We were kids/teens when those came out and they were probably the coolest and most fun movies I'd ever seen for quite a few years. Are they "deep"? Not at all. But between the

I always keep some of this around. Like most of those things, you'll get a bit of "rebound" congestion (ie: the tissue swells once you get used to the spray and stop using it) but I find if I only use it for sleep and only a

A guy I knew in high school got that movie on VHS (around 1993/1994-ish). I remember watching at his house after school once, but then later we had a falling out because he was in the cool alt-kid crowd but I wasn't allowed to dr
