I had a similar experience that led me to Knoppix when I was a kid. I was tinkering around with a hex editor and messed up the Windows MBR with it so I found and burned Knoppix to a disc at a library. I remember my mom complaining about things being... different
The fund manager casts those votes. They publish how they vote under a "Proxy Voting Guidelines" document. At least I've seen such documents from Fidelity and Vanguard
This never bothered me much since I can skip them immediately. I've been trained at this point to immediately skip a minute or so into every video
Looks even better with view source on a dark background
I have an EVGA 3070 and also had the sag issue. My case came with a part to support the GPU though, but I didn't realize until I solved it another way: I just doubled up those plates that you screw the GPU into so there was no way it could pivot and sag.
I had a similar thought. Plus, if you're reading the text on the internet you might just assume something written weird or poorly is written by somebody whose first language isn't English.
I had a very similar thing happen to me. I bought some AirPod Pros on sale and received normal AirPods and the Amazon order history indicated I ordered them when I know for a fact I had not. I was able to exchange them and all, but it was super frustrating.
All I could find is that we know they eat brown marmorated stink bugs[0].
"Joro spiders also appear to be able to capture and feed on at least one insect that other local spiders are not: adult brown marmorated stink bugs, an invasive pest that can infest houses and damage crops."
This kind of worries me wrt to my vaping nicotine habit long term
I have used Uber Eats before and they are constantly sending me emails with $30 off coupons for first time orders only. Are they hoping I give them to someone else or something?
Also, it seems like they mix the inventory from different vendors, so it ends up being a crap shoot whether you get the original, or a knock-off, and the reviews reflect that.
I've noticed this so many times. I've stopped buying any sort of health products like supplements or even electric toothbrush heads from Amazon. It scares me seeing reviews about fake products in stuff like that
I recently had to deal with the headaches of cookies and iframes. In my case, it was learning management software that used our external tool loaded in an iframe via LTI. I was specifically dealing with Safari but understood other browsers could become as strict as Safari for cookies in iframes.
After pursuing methods of getting user consent to use 3rd party cookies via the storage API, the end result was the user jumping through hoops by repeatedly clicking buttons to invoke user interaction in different contexts to eventually get a prompt to allow cookies. It did work, but there were strange bugs with it on mobile Safari... e.g., the prompt to allow cookies never appeared after clicking the button but after putting Safari in the background and going back to it, it did appear.
The UX of all this was pretty undesirable so we just gave up and had the tool open in a full window and wondered why we didn't think to do that from the beginning.
Personally, almost never. My phone is always on do not disturb with work and family contacts added to my favorites to bypass do not disturb. If an unrecognized number is calling from, say, my dentist's office then they usually leave a voicemail and I'll know whether to return the call. Otherwise, I just assume it's spam.
Definitely worth it. I'm glad to have had my YT Red / Google Play Music subscription grandfathered into YT Premium / YT Music Premium for the original price.
I've forgotten how to do most of it and when I look at it now it's hard to believe I was ever able to.
My friends have a Teamspeak server so that's what I use when playing games with them. I prefer it over Discord because it's lightweight in comparison. Also for whatever reason, I can't seem to get the microphone sensitivity right in Discord the last few times I used it.
I was homeschooled in a similar way described above, starting community college at 16. I was relatively sheltered and never attended any sorts of sports clubs or any other activities that would involve socializing with people I didn't know. I would say it definitely had a negative impact on my social skills, as if I was learning how to socialize 5 years later than everyone else my age. Working jobs helped develop these social skills to a point, but I'm not great at making friends outside of work and I still deal with social anxiety. I believe homeschooling is a great idea, but social development should definitely be considered. Not sure about the best way to handle it though.
I'd love to be able to filter out videos I've watched that way. Speaking of which, I've noticed that the red line tends to disappear after a while, causing me to start videos I've already seen.
There's a browser extension for it too. Outline has been super convenient when dealing with bloated news sites. Now I'm just thinking about how I'll get my browser to do this automatically for certain sites without having to click the outline button every time
This is something I thought about too. Especially considering communities like /r/The_Donald and 4Chan's /pol/ have been observed creating parody Twitter profiles and the like with Russia based geo-tags. I am nearly positive the image linked by OP is an example of just that. This is not to say that Russia did not purchase Facebook ads, just that a geo-tag is very weak evidence of anything and using images like the above to make accusations makes for a pretty weak argument.
I am willing to wager that more action will be seen with regards to LGBTQ channels being demonetized than conservative channels. Google never really tried to hide their left leaning biases.
I always had the impression that psilocybin in particular either was not tested for or does not stay in your body long enough to be tested for. My only concern with psilocybin mushrooms would be their legality, but IIRC, it is not illegal to possess spores for them.
Wow, this seems simple but I got excited immediately when seeing this. Since I have been writing code to export data for clients, I have grown so tired of Kingsoft Spreadsheets and Google Sheets lagging like crazy with any sizable amounts of data. This will be a cool new tool to show my coworkers tomorrow and I'll be using it. Performance seems very snappy so far!
What is the significance of his masters being from Georgia Tech?
No: 48 Democrats and 2 independents
I think you meant 46 Democrats and 2 Independents.
But this sounds like a real mistake someone can make... how do you know which groups of people are together? If they're spaced apart enough it's not hard mistake them as separate groups. Not to mention you don't know what the assistant's tone was or whether or not the author was misinterpreting the situation. Honestly, that blog post feels like bait for a forced debate based on an anecdote with little to no information/evidence of anything.
I'm confused how it is at all debatable that violating a company's arbitrary ToS would be a crime.
I had a boss who started one of his companies in his attic and while he wasn't a 'real' software developer, he was still able to bring his initial ideas to fruition to get a working product because of how approachable VB is, especially for those without much experience programming. It definitely has its purpose and I am glad Microsoft understands that. The hate over VB and BASIC languages in general seems like a matter of elitism among software developers to me and oddly enough, I see this attitude from inexperienced developers more often than experienced ones.
