What an outrageous lie. Imagine if students had healthcare

The hardest part about using nature’s bidet is standing on your head

Not that I doubt the locals or anything - and like, fuck Microsoft - but what kind of industrial waste would a data center have?

From the article, it sounds like the facility is still under construction, so I imagine there might be construction waste, but that’s not really my field and I don’t know what that looks like. Runoff cement?

Just so you have a heads up:

If you use yt-dlp like a regular user, you shouldn’t have a problem. If you use it to download like a thousand videos at once then YouTube may block you out or rate limit you or something.

If that happens, or that’s your use case, then you may need to use a VPN

The man with the gun shoots the gun.

The man without a gun finds a gun.

I had to put a capo on green in order to beat Through the Fire and Flames.

The intro is the hardest part, after that you can ditch it. But like… it’s a valid strategy

The teacher believes he is being discriminated against because the state won’t allow him to discriminate against society’s most vulnerable members, who happen to be in his care.

You can’t make this stuff up.

I’ve played both. Quality of life is way better in the remake (who thought Reload should be bound to L?), and IIRC you can adjust the driving physics so you can decide whether you want a realistic or more arcade experience.

In either event, good luck with the race car missions

Imagine learning divination magic to be able to detect copper wire

I heard somewhere that Tony Shalhoub’s character was supposed to be blazed out of his gourd through the movie, but they removed the drug references to save the rating.

But my goodness, that guy is blazed out of his gourd through the movie.

If things can always get worse then the corollary is that things can always get better too

Maybe when the horrible people see that a horrible person just melted away into nothingness after some rando snapped their fingers they might change their tune

This is a mutation of an anti-piracy campaign. The text usually reads “You wouldn’t steal a car” an then asks why you would download a movie.

I would totally download a car though.

I was procrastinating making my meal plan, and this is the first post I see. I guess I’m making burritos.

In a statement shared with GameSpot, Humble Games confirmed that Humble Bundle will have "no impact on its operations. Additionally, ongoing and upcoming games from Humble Games will still move ahead and be published by the company.

“Yeah, we just laid everyone off, but it’s business as usual, nothing will change for the consumer.”

The name of the community comes from the idiom, “There’s no such thing as a stupid question.” The idea is that as long as the person asking the question genuinely wants to learn, then there is no question they can ask that would make them stupid because they’re trying to educate themselves - one of the least stupid things you can do.

Some people feel shame at not knowing something, so they’ll often talk down to themselves and call it a stupid question. This is particularly true if the asker feels it’s something that they should already know or everyone around them seems to already know.

This community offers a place where you can ask a question, no matter how small or basic, without fear of being made fun of. In a sense, you might say that the community welcomes stupid questions while at the same time reassuring the questioner that the question is not actually stupid.

I have this argument with my wife a lot. She says that because the OJ is natural sugar it’s okay.

But the high-fructose corn syrup used in a cola is also natural sugar in the sense that it was grown on a farm. There even happens to be less of it in your average soda than in juice.

And I’m not really saying that you should drink soda instead of juice because it’s healthier, but somehow fruit juice is one of those things people think is good for them.

I’m not sure one has much to do with the other. I completely agree that the Boston bombing investigation was a witch hunt, no argument here. But witch hunts target individuals, and individuals are entitled to a certain degree of privacy which one would hope would protect them from an uninformed mob.

But airing your employers’ dirty laundry is whistle-blowing. It should be protected, especially if the industry secret is anti-consumer, dangerous, or illegal. And importantly, a corporation isn’t an individual, so they shouldn’t benefit from protections for individuals.

It’s tempting to think that we don’t see the Name and Shame posts actually naming and shaming because of Reddit’s interests with advertisers. But I think it’s also just as likely that users don’t want to be identified leaking secrets - likely due to the litigious nature of their employers.

I used to have really bad chicken-scratch printing and I wanted to improve.

The exercise that really stuck out for me was to find a font I liked in a book on calligraphy and started practicing the alphabet.

Before I started practicing, I didn’t pay much attention to how I was forming a letter, I’d just draw it - and it would look messy. Once you start looking at each letter as a discrete number of strokes you start paying attention to the small parts and the whole looks much better.

If you’re really lucky, you’ll find a guide with arrows showing which way to draw each stroke. Super helpful. Note that this font uses a fountain pen, so it’ll look different with a standard ballpoint:

I suppose if you’re going to die of the beetus it might as well be in your sleep

I prefer to think of a regular size bee with a giant cowboy hat
