I miss Trillian :(

I’m finally coming around to this after decades of being steered away from it by The Simpsons (https://youtu.be/CQod276-7Mo?si=F5_Suzq41QAK_Wtg).

You can offer the game elsewhere for less / free, you just can’t sell steam keys for less than you sell them on steam.

Panko bread dough is placed between two metal surfaces, and is cooked by running an electric current through it. This avoids any crust forming, causing it to be very uniform.

I imagine you could do the same with brownies.

The company has taken action against violations of its policies, she said

What does this mean in this context? Send takedown notices to people who joke on the Internet?

I think we read different books if you think her characters were altruistic. I remember her specifically calling out altruism as a sin (compared to the virtue of selfishness).

It says “a leading cause”, not “the leading cause”. Depending on how long your list of leading causes is, anything could qualify.

I skimmed the source they linked, and it lists guns as the leading cause of death for ages 1-19. I did not see an overall list.

I would agree that a more carefully phrased sentence would have been better and less misleading.

That is irrelevant. If Trump’s behavior would cause a regular schlub to be jailed, then he should be jailed, full stop. That’s how the law is supposed to work.

It is a stretch when you’re hearing from that person directly.

What does fried food have to do with requiring low sodium?

I pay for YouTube. I’m mildly optimistic that this won’t make it into the paid version, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if it does.

I’ve already had to cancel Amazon Prime after they made the base tier have ads, but continued to show ads after paying extra for ad-free.

If physics taught you that 1 = pi, you may want to retake some classes.

If you were as confused by this as I was:

Shortly after the vote, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said it would sue the FTC to block the rule

The US Chamber of Commerce is a right-wing lobbying group for businesses, unrelated to the US Department of Commerce which is an actual government agency.

No, sorry. Ethically, this technology can only be used for torture.

Meanwhile, in the US, going 74 mph in a 25 and killing someone? No consequences as long as you’re a cop.

No, that’s the point of the comment you’re responding to. It’s painfully obvious that the bugs have no way to fling asteroids into the Earth, and the only “evidence” that it was the bugs is in-universe propaganda.

You can make the most over-the-top satire in the world, and people still won’t get it.

Calculus.

Hardware cloth is a metal mesh.

One of my favorite lines in the game is (paraphrasing):

The problem with the bugs is that they’re relentless expansionists. We’ve found them on almost every planet in their territory that we’ve colonized.

It’s also pretty clear that we’ve been farming the bugs for space oil.

Works even better in Ruby, as the code as given is valid, you just need to monkey patch length:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

module DayLength
  def length
    if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
      "24 hours"
    else
      super
    end
  end
end

class String
  prepend DayLength
end

day = "Monday"

x = day.length

print(x)
