If that's really the case, why does pretty much every software license feel the need to include a liability disclaimer? Genuine question, I've often wondered about this.

The head-mounted-camera format he uses is a big part of that, I think. Seeing the process from the perspective of the cook really gives you a good sense of everything involved.

Honestly, I kind of enjoy assembling Ikea furniture. It's like Lego for grown-ups.

As I understand it, the evidence for erucic acid being harmful has been called into question more recently. See the footnotes for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erucic_acid#Health_effects

While the content on Reddit is probably more authentic than what you're likely to find on Google these days, there's still quite a lot of obviously (or not-so-obviously) corporate-sponsored stuff, and I imagine this is only going

The original creator (Stephen Hillenburg) left after the third season. As I understand it, he wanted to end the series there, but of course Nickelodeon couldn't resist milking the cash cow.

I think everybody already knows that you shouldn't trust anonymous, un-sourced information you read online, and I doubt simply reminding them of this would do much good. It's just really hard to constantly be vigilant. Even on thi

Huh, Snow White (1937) was released 74 years after the death of Jacob Grimm (1863). Didn't Disney lobby for the extension of copyright to 70 years after the author's death? I wonder if that's why they decided on that number.

That doesn't seem obvious to me. I'd be more inclined to think anyone willing to pay to avoid ads likely isn't very receptive to advertising in the first place. If someone is so annoyed by ads, they're probably not going

On the other hand, overdose deaths were up significantly, which I think would also be fair to categorize as "deaths of despair" [1]. [1] https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2021&#x

I find I only use SELECTION if I'm going to paste whatever I copied immediately, but in those situations I do think it's a bit faster. If need to do anything else between copying and pasting I'll use CLIPBOARD instead.

NVIDIA definitely still ships 32-bit OpenGL libraries. They did drop 32-bit kernel support, maybe that's what you were thinking of?
