My vasectomy left me with life long pain and discomfort, particularly when sitting. This is after a long period of (essentially) torture that had me seriously considering how to co…

I was aware the reduce and renew had been reduced to a whisper and largely forgotten (they reduce consumption after all, recycling is the only acceptable one in are consumption dri…

I remember finding the transition from keyboard only duke3d (with ALT as a strafe toggle) to mouselook pretty painful initially. The flexibility was there but I had to relearn a sk…

Frylock: Have you seen my towel? Master Shake: Just use a paper towel. Frylock: I'm taking a bath. Master Shake: They're right in the kitchen, just go get 'em!

They also have a collection of old drivers that have become hard to find with time.

I remember Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals usually featured her pulling some ingredients she'd already chopped up or soaked in something the night before out from the fridge. Apparent…

Only places I've ever seen do this are gas stations. And I've calculated the discount, I've never seen it be more than the cashback I get on gas purchases from my card. Usually, it…

There was an update, Windows Genuine Advantage, that was not part of the original XP installers that did the nagging about you using a shady key IIRC. The trick was to not install …

Is it even possible to passthrough ISA to a VM? Legacy PCI is (well-ish) supported with its own quirks but I've never heard of ISA passthrough even mentioned before.

My experience with old cars and full insurance coverage is if the car repairs cost more than the value of the car they just total it and pay out the estimated sale value of the car…

Seems like it would be pretty heavy data usage pushing all that video up over the mobile network.

I'd prefer cars just add standardized mount points with power and maybe data lines. Then I could install different cheap products I selected, or none at all.

Maybe I'm missing something but since bitcoin is a public ledger and exchanges all have KYC features it seems worse than buying visa gift cards with cash from a privacy perspective…

Next lets use it to prevent crime or approve loans. Computer says no.

My physics text book had metric to imperial conversions and I was surprised to see "mouthful" as the smallest volume measurement.

True, but diagonal measurements were broadly comparable since for most of TVs existence non 4:3 aspect ratios were really uncommon. It wasn't until HDTV and the broad adoption of L…

It is also not at all clear what is needed to "top up" an offline SSD to assure the data is maintained. Some people say that merely connecting the drive to power for a few minutes …

You can still sell those users' more valuable usage data and they've even coughed up a bunch of personal information to setup payment and have signaled that they have money and are…

It is almost like it isn't about suspicious behavior at all!

> All this took hours, while the kid impatiently nags "can we play, can we play, can we play"...!! And then it's the /insane/ launch times to start playing... At the very least, on…

What would happen if Apple just started using attestation at a later date? It is still in the spec after all. I could see some services being willing to drop Apple for competitive …

If they just released a new map pack for L4D2 and called it L4D3 I'd probably buy it for $60.

All this technology and recordings just amount to eye witness testimony again. Crazy.

A more realistic defense would be that Musk is a clown and all statements he makes are intended to incite laughter rather than be taken seriously.

Isn't this backwards in criminal court? Wouldn't the onus be on the prosecution to prove that the video was real? This sounds ridiculous since we lived most of our lives in the vid…
