Eh, the sentiment has always been ‘fuck russia’, it’s a pain. If someone comes up with a good reason to reenter the russian markets and everyone think it’s profitable and legal enough to get away with, they’ll bring it up at their company and will probably be successful, but a lot of us are very happy we didn’t have to worry about that for a few years.

This statement is driving down the perceived profitability though, so probably bought us a bit more time.

I really wonder what animals we’re missing out on in terms of dairy now. Like could White Rhino Yogurt be the best yogurt known to man?

I’m not sure gators understand the idea of not being hungry.

Wow, I didn’t know that was an option, I thought we did 4k, then skipped to 6k and 8k. What’s the actual resolution on that thing?

No one wants to impress Jodie Foster anymore.

There were 2 confirmed assassination attempts on Donald Trump last year and potentially one more where an armed and suspicious individual was trying to get into a location where Trump was but the individual claims he wasn’t planning anything malicious.

Wikipedia reports ~8 more incidents during the years where he was involved in his first presidential term.

I think Biden only had the one with the box truck.

I don’t think there is a good one. It sounds like this is another one of those things where the rules were mostly relying on the idea that the people wouldn’t elect someone who was expected to try to do something like this.

If you have the money for it and really want to go hardcore into the scene, you might look into an FPGA like the Super-nt. They typically aren’t like all of those emulation boxes out there, compatible with real SNES cartridges and accessories but don’t have to worry about the issues with aging hardware and works mostly native with modern TVs/etc. It’s very expensive, but it’s also definitely very cool.

Full text is ‘Below are some types of visual media that some might consider old or outdated. Which, if any, have you used in the past year?’ and that is an item on the list, it’s not an incredibly detailed survey.

I will say from the rest of the survey responses, the demographics they’ve selected seem to lean more technically competent and security focused than I’d expect.

Shit, I think we’ve all been asking ourselves that on a regular basis for years now and here we are still regularly surprised.

Actual question references “Classic videogame systems that came out before 2000, like the NES or GameBoy” and “used at home in the past year” of which 14% responded yes out of a group of 2022 surveyed in North America (demographic details available in link).

Ocarina of Time soundtrack lives in my head rent free too. For me, its usually Lost Woods, everyone who played remembers the tune even if they don’t know the name.

I feel like banning all direct links gets you 90% of the way there. No referral codes, if a user wants to find your site, they have to go looking, automated spam is harder, etc.

I’m just waiting for Trump to figure out how to announce that the US is going to own Ukraine now.

I disagree with calling her a clown, but I do worry that it would be hard to get the american populace behind her as that is not an uncommon opinion. A large part of it is likely based on her gender and age, if she was a 60-year old white man with the same ideas, we likely wouldn’t have this problem.

When I upgraded from a Pixel 6a to a Pixel 8, I was really surprised to find out that not only was my phone slightly smaller, it also had a slightly larger screen. I’m not super happy with google, but the things they focus on with the Pixel line has me pretty bought in.

For me, I’ve always gone by the typical english definition of “combining and heating” ingredients.

If you’ve combined more than one item together and applied heat somehow, that counts as cooking, otherwise you’re doing something else. Like, if I made myself a cold sandwich, I wouldn’t say I ‘cooked’ a sandwich and the same for if I threw a burrito in the microwave.

So, from that, as long as you either warmed up the beans or threw the bread in the toaster and those items weren’t pre-combined somehow, I’d personally say you cooked it.

I could see Trump jumping on this if the right rich friend is invested in the right nuclear energy company. It feels like it’s within the realm of possibility.

Yeah, a mini PC… or if you already have one, why not 5 mini PCs?
