    I guess all walls are 1ft high in that diagram. You're right though, pretty sure it's a typo.

    It's already been brought up by many others, but proof of purchase is not the issue here, right? It's the right to access the content. NFTs don't force Sony to give you your conten…

    Don't mean to seem like I'm piling on, but I sincerely would be interested how they would help here?

    I don't think it was written by a bot either. But seemed incomprehensible enough to ask another bot for their insight :-) In seriousness, I appreciate your analogy above. That brin…

    In software at least, just landing a nice paying job seems to cause impostor syndrome, especially if it's one of your first. I guess getting a job offer is a sort of praise though,…

    Not just you. I thought it might have some interesting to say, but I had to stop a ways through it due to the confusing wording.

    How do you select the first guess? e.g. the clue is "popular yellow cartoon bear", and the answer is "pooh". You can satisfy the crossword using random words and a dictionary somew…

    I like the character of the voices, especially Male B. Sounds a little like Brokaw, maybe. But yeah sometimes I'd have to regenerate before I got non-glitchy audio. Still though, v…

    It's hard to argue with this stance. What you're saying seems reasonable, although it's clearly a solution that wouldn't pay off immediately. But if the goal is to get better nutri…

    Sincere question: Where would you rather have that money spent, if not to provide healthy food to school children?

    Along with Sumatra, agreed that IrfanView is an incredible gem. It will take pretty much anything you throw at it, and is incredibly lightweight. When doing animations, I can load …

    Genuinely curious, can burning tissue really cause cancer? Like if I put my hand over a fire for too long and get a 3rd degree burn?
