What the fuck, who changed that? Seems like a horrible idea.

Another point is that if the dam is 10m tall, it has to be built to withstand 10m of water. just because it sits at 5m most of the time doesn’t mean a heavy rain couldn’t raise the level, and if the dam collapses that’s going to be catastrophic vs just spilling over the top.

Unfortunately it’s my least favorite part. It’s good motivation to take better photos in the first place though.

There must be at least one scenario where it’s improved 26%, otherwise it’s a lie.

Personally I’d be happy if I never had to touch a micro-USB device ever again. Mini-USB is somewhat acceptable, but USB-C blows the rest out of the water. It’s unquestionably the better USB standard

Most of those are legit, but I do take issue with the pregnancy test one. Replacing the original electronics with entirely new hardware doesn’t really count. A pregnancy test screen only has 3 or 4 LCD segments.

The smart bulb one at least partially counts, since it’s using the original processor from the bulb just with a display and buttons added.

That would be USB 2.0 and is pretty safe to assume that all USB ports and cables support this (If you can find a USB 1.0 or 1.1 port I’ll be impressed). Why bother with a 480Mbps logo if it’s the default minimum?

Guys, stop responding to this thread with Reply-all!

Possibly even a multi-part rar

Grammar is the least of your concern if you’re letting the magic smoke out

With how much Factorio I’ve played, I’m down to less than $0.10/hr with the Space Age expansion. I’m nowhere close to done.

2 of those games are from 2022 and 2023

A tomb? In this economy? 😂

How will they even know it exists until the switch is triggered?

They could easily block the APIs the gambling sites are using to operate, but they’ve just sent some cease and desist letters to a few instead and have continued to take their cut of all trades.

Ironically HoloISO also can’t be installed easily right now since all the prepared downloads are missing. You could maybe built it yourself from source, but I haven’t figured it out…

I opened this issue several months ago: https://github.com/HoloISO/issuetracker/issues/59

I’m generally a fan of Valve (at least historically), but at least recently some stuff has come out about them propping up a billion dollar gambling industry via CounterStrike skins. It’s full of legal loopholes to avoid being classified as actual gambling, thus allowing underage users to get addicted to casino mechanics. This might actually be Valve’s current biggest profit center in recent years.

He left Microsoft almost immediately after Doom 95 was released specifically because he didn’t like the direction Microsoft was going.

It’s certainly an argument I’ve heard a lot when talking about inconsistencies in the Bible. Usually it’s blamed on translation, missing context, or exaggerated retellings. It was written by many different people who weren’t necessarily talking to each other after all. I have a hard time taking any of it seriously.

I’m going to file this under the category of philosophy similar to “what if we’re living in a simulation?” and “parallel universe” theory. As far as I’m aware we have no evidence that there’s even such thing as a false vacuum, so this is all just speculation based on some theories.
