  • Based on personal experience, an HOA can.

  • AOL instant messenger was late to the party. ICQ started the instant messaging fad… that little “uh oh” notification sound is permanently burned into my brain.

  • Utter BS. I’m on the old end of Gen X and I’m still building PCs for people and troubleshooting their shit when it breaks. I have yet to meet a much younger person who can do it as well.

  • Hush! Don't tell anybody about the therapeutic value of memes or American healthcare will start charging $5000 per meme!

  • Yeah, people mostly seem to enjoy those crowd cams. If it’s emblematic of anything it would be something about attention-seeking behavior.

  • On iOS the Orion browser lets you use Firefox or chrome mods.

  • Honestly, i was just referencing Battlestar Galactica.

  • All this has happened before and it will happen again

  • Most or all of the GMO crops will both pollinate and germinate. The requirement to buy new seed is legally enforced, rather than a biological necessity.

    There have been cases already where pollen and/or seeds have blown into neighboring fields and hybridized with non-GMO crops. At least one grower has been sued by Monsanto for harvesting and selling Roundup-ready soybeans that were hybridized that way.

  • That’s true, as far as it goes, but the amount of phenylalanine created is incredibly minute and is matched by other, “natural” foods. In the vast majority of people, the body quickly metabolizes excess phenylalanine. The only genuinely well-documented danger is for people with phenylketonuria, because they have a genetic variation that breaks that ability to metabolize.

    Last I checked, which was admittedly years ago, the studies that showed direct harms were flawed, not statistically significant, or have not been repeatable. The early studies that led to its ban in the EU used absolutely massive doses of aspartame, well beyond what you could possibly ingest in a day.

    I’m not saying it’s safe for sure but it’s safer than obesity or massive doses of sugar on a regular basis.

  • In dietary terms, literally nothing is wrong with it. There are economic concerns because the business model is to patent (copyright?) the GMO stuff and force growers to buy seed every year, instead of saving seed from each harvest. There's also some concern that really successful GMO crops, such as Roundup-ready corn, will dominate planting and become a monocrop which could lead to massive crop loss if a blight or other disease evolves to target that particular strain.

    The other things in the picture vary between probably-but-maybe-not-harmless (aspartame), definitely harmless (MSG), to actually helpful (fluoride and Prozac).

    Bottom line: the meme, when interpreted correctly, implies that pop songs are generally good but somewhat artificially manipulated.

    I've set up docker services behind nginx proxy manager so they're accessible with https, but the http services are still open. How do I close them?

    Is there any reason to upgrade my AMD Ryzen 9 5950x to a 7900x3d or 7950x3d?
