At one job we had a digital form for new user requests. This existed for auditing purposes, but it also helped to collect all the necessary information for the change. I was always impressed at how people managed to fill it out wrong every single time.

For example, I would get a request to update someone’s name and they would fail to include the former name or the new name or even enter their OWN name for one of the fields.

What I learned is no system is idiot proof, no form will ever be filled out perfectly, and everything will need manual intervention at some point.

I did a really quick search and a mechanical hard drive costs around 1$ for 50gb of storage while a blank Blu-ray was closer to 1$ for 25gb of storage. That would suggest a drive is more effective at storing data from a cost perspective, so there just needs to be a service that sells movies in a digital format.

Having a dog helps too as you have a plausible excuse to leave and a conversation topic.

Them being adversarial doesn’t really matter. The allies of today are the enemies of tomorrow and the converse, so the who shouldn’t matter. The problem is with anyone collecting data on your citizens because it can be sold, traded, stolen, or abused.

If it was about protecting people, a wide-spread countermeasure would be used instead of a pinpointed assault targeting a single app.

A quick search suggests that blood is 80% water. Turning that into wine at a weak concentration of 5.5% results in around at 14.5% BAC which is over 10 times greater than the highest ever recorded, so it would be certainly lethal.

Nah, there is an upper limit on how quick the infusion would permeate the same as you can see it permeate in the cup.

If you’re a fan of animation and don’t mind gore, Castlevania is available on Blu-ray. I just watched all 4 seasons. Some of those scenes are just incredible.

I have gone to a local electronics store, Best Buy, several times in the last few years because I wanted something immediately only to be stopped at the last moment by a locked shelf and no one around to unlock it. What the fuck are you even supposed to do there? Scream and shout until someone arrives? Quietly stalk an employee until you find your moment to strike? I just fucking leave, I’ll wait for shipping.

I feel like that’s the only justification I’ve ever really heard, but I find it to be rather flimsy. It assumes that someone willing to assault someone else would be deterred by a sign. It also assumes that assaults only happen across genders and not within, which is either very narrow-minded or willfully obstinate.

Personally, I would think individual unisex bathrooms that each contain their own sink would be the safest option. You enter fully aware and lock the door behind yourself, only leaving once you are fully aware and alert again. Given that the common area between stalls is essentially public, you could have cameras observing the entrance without invading privacy and capturing anyone attempting to force their way in or tailgate someone entering a stall. Better, safer, gender neutral.

Thank fuck, a simple and clear marking that an average user can understand! I assume displayport compatible ports will still have that symbol, which is fine. Soon I’ll be and to price out laptops that will work with a docking station without needing to read the damn manuals!

Be careful of snakes.

Jazzy Chemistry sounds like the title of a textbook that is attempting to be more attractive to students.

OH! I GET IT! The boobs aren’t real but not because of implants but instead because he’s dreaming in a coma!

It seems more accurate to say “… people aren’t using it to make your life worse.”

Being yourself isn’t a problem unless someone else decides to make it one.

Ah, so the answer is just to get high!

My family had a recipe for brandy slush that used the alcohol to prevent the mix from freezing solid. It was a big hit at summer parties.

Or at least not well.

Just close the lid on that washing machine and set it for a heavy duty wash.

The windows, mirrors, and turn signals are all exposed. They at least made an effort.

Nah, honey was marketed as a coupon tool without mentioning the referral manipulation it did that is its actual business model. Those privacy extensions just need to call out that they remove referral trackers too and everything is fine with them.
