  • Source: I pulled it out of me unwashed arse

  • Fun fact: embalming fluids are usually flammable.

    Do with this information what you wish.

  • I know they do. I doubt however that there's anybody who'd dare touch, let alone be able to lift, Donnie's "235lbs" body.

  • Well, the loss of traffic is a knock-on effect of the misrepresentation. So is the fact that every other portal will try to sling shit at the ones affected by it.

  • I was hoping the sarcasm in the first sentence was dripping enough to be noticeable :)

  • Apple had to turn it off for their sunmary mode after backlash, even though the option always had the "these summaries are generated by AI and can be inaccurate" warnings placed prominently.

    Google doing this shit without warning or notice will get them in shit water. News portals and reporters are generally not too fond of their articles being completely misrepresented.

  • Oh no the local library is closed today, what do I do with my need for reliable information?

    Dunno mate, have you tried asking Hitler?

  • It will be a very interesting period when he dies, but for 4-5 days nobody dares to remove his body from the White House, thereby leaving his rotting corpse in office.

  • I liked movie Hammond too, don't get me wrong. It's just a completely different story because of the character shift.

  • The movie really dumbed Hammond down to "overly optimistic money guy with a vision". Which was a bit distasteful if you've read the books. Just a bit.

  • The EU pushing USB-C (and other standardised charging protocols) does actually help every country - because for most manufacturers it will be cheaper to swallow that extra $1-2 cost (at most, incl. design changes for products already in planning) than to set up two separate product lines.

  • Also included in this: the thousands upon thousands of mobile games that are literally the same exact game with minor asset switching.

    Like, 99% of those "town/castle/whatever building" games that have fixed locations for buildings etc., they're all based on maybe 2-3 white label game "engines" that are ready to be re-labelled with new assets, new logos, new story (even though the story events driving it are the same, the "side dish" storytelling changes minimally).

    This also goes for pretty much any game format that becomes trending. You can bet your tushie that the moment a game format is even just borderline popular... there will be a dozen or so Chinese software houses copying the mechanics and looks and behaviour, and within a week you can buy a white label version of it for a few thousand dollars.

  • Yes.

    More and more common personal things are being electronised - toothbrushes, shavers/razors, water picks, just to name a few from the bathroom, but there's also the tons of various nightstand bits, kitchen utilities (I actually have a handheld stick blender/whisk that uses USB-C, as well as a milk frother), the list goes on.

    If it's a low power device (sub-100W charging/supply), USB-C should be mandatory for it.

    Yes I know USB-C can now do 240W but it's not widespread yet and people would be annoyed by the fact their €5 10W charging brick can't make their 200W thingie work.

  • Mind you this was ~12 years ago, and I was quite out of it. Not sure what exactly they did or did not. Most of this is retelling from what the doctor told me the next day, after surgery.

  • My favourite part about getting an MRI was actually not getting one.

    Explanation: had a pretty rough cycling accident in uni, busted my kneecap. Which didn't start hurting until two days later, but then it was absolutely mind numbing pain. So bad that my flatmate had to call an ambulance.

    Ambulance takes me in, with a watermelon sized knee, and they immediately want to take me for an MRI to assess the damage. At this point I've got a biiiiig dose of some kind of pain management medication that made me super hazy.

    Just barely in time I managed to tell the doctor that they can't do MRI because I have a magnet implant in my finger. Disaster barely, but averted.

  • Do you really think the sentiment is against ONE data center and not all?

  • Tell me you're completely unaware of just how much the internet relies on singular points of failure without telling me.

  • Not just that "Amazon bad" but they're being subsidised to ruin the local ecology, drive up prices for residential consumers, who won't see any benefit from the server farm.

    Amazon is given way too much leeway when it comes to their server infrastructure. I get that that infrastructure is vital - I myself use AWS, my work extensively uses AWS services wherever possible, 2/3 of the internet relies on it in some form.

    The problem is that Amazon is profiting off of it like there's no tomorrow while doing fuck-all for the surroundings of their server farms, or the quality of life for their workers and so on. Stop giving Bezos tax breaks, stop subsidising Amazon's crap, make them pay for their fair share is all most people want.

  • Sure, do you want some 2/3 of the internet gone?
