The King is dead. Long live the King. The people going after these sites are just playing a game of whack-a-mole. New sites will always sprout up to fill in the gap.

That wasn’t even the first time Trek did the “catching up to a sleeper ship” plot. TOS did it earlier, and then they made a movie out of that episode.

This is hilarious.

In my family it was variations of “Hello, Joe’s whatever. Insert rhyme here.”

One of my favorites was “Joe’s mortuary, you stab 'em we slab 'em.”

True, and this time “The House” wasn’t the casino.

Or use ancient scripts like Phoenician or Glagolitic.

There are still 20 more letters that can be used as stand-ins. Things will get interesting if you try to go past Base 36, though.

Base 16 is typically represented with letters being used as the extra numerals, so it would end up being F+1. Problem solved.

Last year I bought a packet of sugar pumpkin seeds just because I thought the flowers looked nice the previous time I’d tried (and failed) to grow pumpkins. Got plenty of pumpkins out of it, saved some of the seeds, and started buying butternut squash when the pumpkins ran out. Saved the seeds from those, too, and now I’ve got seedlings of both popping up. I’m gonna have so much pie!

I second the idea that audio is a nightmare in Android. I have the AYN Odin, and I’m always muting it by accident because the lowest volume setting is still a bit louder than I want. 0-15 is nowhere near enough granularity, but the Android devs can’t seem to comprehend the idea.

some of them are devilishly hard to master.

The Magmoor Bomb Jump energy tank in the original version of Metroid Prime wants to say hello.

I always wondered why a subreddit like that was allowed to exist in the first place. I guess I have my answer now.

What flavor is that boot you’re licking? Must be pretty tasty.

Accidental DisplayPort guy checking in. I didn’t even know it was a thing until I bought my graphics card. It seems like I dummied my way into some good tech.

Even a junk made-up answer would be an improvement over the results I recently got after trying both Google and DDG to search up a random question that came to me. I wanted to find a list of animals with vertical pupils, and all I got were pages with headlines like “Why do some animals have vertical pupils?” that didn’t answer my question or even the question in the headline!

When my mother was still around, any time I tried to open a jar after she’d gotten to it, I would destroy my hands and still not be able to get it open. I could wreck tendons, give myself blisters, try all the tricks mentioned in this thread, and those lids wouldn’t budge. It was like she found a way to weld metal to glass with her bare hands. By comparison, opening the factory seal was no effort at all.

I’m well aware. I’ve never had any trouble opening a factory-sealed jar.

All these people are complaining about how hard it is to open a jar, and I’m sitting here scratching my head because the only times I’ve ever struggled with jars was after someone closed them too tightly. Just don’t use a death-grip when you’re closing your jars and you’ll be fine unless you’re elderly or something.

Bro it’s just a battery, some motors, a computer, an IO system, and some brakes. An amateur with money and free time could rip the guts out of a traditional car and make it fully electric by following an online tutorial.
