There’s no more reason to doubt the existence of a Jewish carpenter who pissed off the government and got nailed up for it than there is to doubt the existence of the Roman official who ordered the nailing.

The supernatural stuff is a different matter.

Can I get the same bacteria from sauerkraut instead?

Korean scientists are better than anywhere else in the world because Korean children eat with metal chopsticks.

Wait, does the superiority come from the shape or the material? Is there a hierarchy, with wood and fiberglass chopsticks also having different effects? How does it compare to eating with metal forks?

I’m morbidly curious about the exact contours of the nonsense.

Yes, you have to be 35.

At this point I consume most media literally on my computer or my phone, but I still want there to be a good solution for a big living room TV (50"+ range). I have yet to see any reasonable ‘computer monitor’ option for that.

The other problem with using a monitor as a TV, BTW, is that they often don’t have built-in speakers.

Gather a lot of mint, put it in your cave in a pile, and lay down on it before going to sleep for the winter.

Buying the TV and then not connecting it still rewards the bad behavior.

We have to boycott these fucks and lobby to get the behavior outlawed.

This is why, for years, I’ve been trying to point out that “if you don’t like it, just don’t buy it” isn’t good enough. Boycotts aren’t enough; we have to force the law to change to prohibit the abusive corporate behavior.

I used to recommend Sceptre, but even they appear to have stopped making dumb TVs now too.

That’s a good point: it’s not just that LLMs fail to give you an optimal password, it’s that they’re inherently designed to give you a pessimal one.

I just figured it was extra-desperate CPR and never saw a reason to question its legitimacy.

Never kill yourself for something that’s somebody else’s fault.

Yes we fucking can! We can absolutely blame shitty people for trying to do shitty things, and suing an archive for archiving is one of 'em!

Scroll down to the “prosperity” section. You’re welcome.

This isn’t about Americans’ obligation to pay. It’s about hassle being forced upon foreign companies that have fuck-all to do with America (except for having American expat customers), to make them help collect the taxes on the US’ behalf.

Creating more mainstream use-cases is how you get people to donate more bandwidth.

Still has a stupid Windows logo on the super key, though.

TIL Cueball is Alton Brown.

I’ve been thinking about getting a Slate truck eventually, and I’m suddenly realizing a generator on a trailer might be good for overlanding, since there aren’t any chargers on remote trails.

I’m willing to bet it would’ve been more efficient (but less maneuverable/flexible in its direction of travel) with a sail, just because that would avoid the electric conversion losses.
