  • Was this ever even available to non-US accounts? Was there ever an explanation for why it was georestricted?

  • Oh, I know. And at least some emulators let you use the mouse as a faux light gun so all is not lost.

  • I used to have an automatic feeder that we left outside. We had all the forest cats knowing the time of day and visiting us. And we got regular long-term residents.

  • TIL The Scanner Price Accuracy Code is a Canadian retail voluntary practice

    Jump

  • You caught me; I was being a tad bit dramatic with my Karen-y comment. No shade against cashiers, IRL. But I — personally — probably would not have a job like that for very long because I am privileged enough to be openly contemptuous.

  • I have never had that kind of job, but it is remarkable some people gatekeep these discounts. Like, I must protect the gynormous company that barely and begrudgingly pays me minimum wage!

    I feel like I would have all the discounts hotkeyed and ready to go. I probably wouldn’t have had that job very long. Maybe that’s the thing.

  • Now that you mention it, India does use type D. Your image says type M. So you are right; D is the silly one. The larger holes are for higher amperage devices, but all the small holes are just because manufacturing tolerances are all over the place.

  • This diagram doesn’t do the utter goofiness of type M justice.

    Here are a few styles you will come across.

  • TIL that Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) is the bearest of all bears – "ursus" means bear, and "arctos" also means bear, so the scientific name translates to "Bear bear bear"

  • If it’s black, you’re a snack.

    If it’s brown, you’re going to Stomach Town.

    If it’s white, uhh, you’re a Turkish delight.

    Basically, stay away from all bears, if possible.

  • Black bears: they are bears, yes, and could kill me in a single swipe if they wanted to. Thankfully (and hilariously) they are so timid. I (a not intimidating person) raise my voice and say “hey, go!” And they run.

    Grizzly bears, I used to think were scary. And they are. What I am getting at is that they are more territorial than human-eaty. Give them space. Give them as much space as you can. They will growl and grunt but they will not really want to bother with you.

    Polar bears are nightmares. The blood on white fur doesn’t help their image. They will kill anything. They move so quick and quietly.
