The problem is that it won’t stop people from using Google. Most people probably wouldn’t even notice aside from having to spend more time searching for local things, which incidentally will give Google more ad money.

The average person probably doesn’t know that search engines other than Google or Bing (or maybe Yahoo if they’re old enough) even exist. As much as it worries me that most of Firefox’s revenue comes from having Google as the default search engine, regulating that practice might actually give other search engines a chance to be seen.

Zangoose is a Pokemon, there’s probably hundreds of sites with it

You have found neither my site nor a site talking about me

Hey did you know that any JSON file is also a valid YAML file? I bet you’ll love YAML a lot more now that you have this information

I don’t have any GitHub.io sites but I appreciate the joke :)

How did you find one of my GitHub repos?

News from New Jersey:

It rained yesterday!! For the first time in a month and a half!

Baby steps 🙃

here questions right the asking

I’m going to assume no to your first part since a lot of the documents surrounding the project are only being declassified now (and a lot of the details are still classified apparently)

To your second part, I was paraphrasing but the video I linked also called it a “backyard bomb” so the the project was probably being worked on around the time the terminology for that “scale” was made

ELI5 for people who don’t know what project sundial is because I didn’t know about it until I saw that video:

In the 1950’s the guy who invented the Hydrogen nuclear bomb made a theoretical design for a bomb that would send the entire planet into a nuclear winter. The bomb would be detonated in somewhere in the US because it was so powerful that both the US and whoever on the globe they were trying to hit would get destroyed either way.

Here is the video the meme is referencing: https://youtu.be/E55uSCO5D2w

Gold Silver and Crystal also! Pokemon OSTs in general are pretty good.

I was actually listening to the Gold/Silver surf theme when I clicked into this thread, it’s pretty relaxing.

It’s probably the government-subsidized corn syrup but wheat works too

Is that… a countdown to the next holiday?

The point of the game is to shoot people with actual guns until you’re the only person (or team) left. Is the word “kill” really where ESRB draws the line?? (not that I think fortnite should be rated R)

Why did I know exactly which video this was going to be before I even clicked on the link

Smh this is literally what switch statements are for

This will be an amazing phone wallpaper

I aspire to know this level of retro trivia and am slowly falling down the rabbit hole.

There are actually relatively easy (easy compared to building a nuclear reactor) ways to deal with the waste that involve mixing it with concrete and glass so it can be safely stored in a way that won’t impact the surrounding environment. Kyle Hill has a great video about this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k
