  • Is this a UK thing? Guessing from the Cornwall name

  • I've never heard of this or had any kind of plum sauce, and would never have considered having it on mac and cheese. Now I am craving this discontinued foreign condiment.

  • I was just getting used to PS/2 connectors replacing serial mice and keyboards and then friggin USB comes along....

  • I seem to remember Leisure Suit Larry verified age using trivia questions that only older people would answer correctly. I know this because at 8 years old I guessed enough of them on my father's friends computer to play it.

  • I can see why Techbros would want such gorgeous invertebrates as pets but as long as they have enough enrichment in their enclosure but I would hardly call keeping these primitive worms slavery. Any kind of exotic pet always raises questions of ethicality so I understand why you'd be concerned. Do you personally know some people in the tech industry that keep these? How big a terrarium do they need and what kinds of plants and substrate do they prefer?

  • Is it more X "undertaking" Reddit, or is Reddit seeing significant growth these days as Twitter wanes?

  • Oooh, new hypochondria unlocked. Thanks, stranger!

  • Elon collecting signatures from demographics least likely to vote, or starlink being used in many districts as the network uplink for insecure machines

    Are sources available on these claims, particularly the first one specifically it being the least likely voter demographic? I keep seeing this stuff talked about but also hand-waving that it's been debunked and I've been too wrapped up with life to investigate. I'm not hopeful that credible and clear evidence will show up enough to get widespread attention about vote hacking but I wouldn't be opposed to hearing more come out either.

  • Damn, now that's stranger than fiction. Quite the read

  • Wow, Everything2.com, I hadn't thought of Wikipedia's weird cousin for over a decade. Great to hear it's still up, I used to browse through it a lot in the early 00s, some funny stuff in there.

  • Fyi schizophrenia is distinct and very different from multiple personality disorder. Don't feel bad though I've heard people with psych degrees using it similarly.

  • Where does it say her mind was changed, or is it implied?

  • The earliest tests done on residual samples from the Red Cross date back to December 13th and they show a small but significant positive caseload at that time. To my knowledge no other testing was done on earlier samples so in theory it could have been present before that in the US.

  • I mean if Putin knows their secrets, shouldn't the American people?

  • Yeah, maybe. Compare the list against a list of unlikely voters. Would be tricky to make sure no attempted double votes were cast. The theory is that these people were voted for, by mail? Or that an inside worker at the polls fed the votes into the machines? In the 2nd case maybe investigators could look at the times the "bullet ballot" votes were cast to see if there were irregularities indicating trouble, like them being clustered around certain times of day.

  • They had pledged to vote though, I would assume the vast majority of them would have done just that, so how are they "ghost voters?" I feel like I'm missing something here.
