The second your cat knows you've died, it's gonna eat your corpse. A dog would probably starve to death instead.

If you think that's unwelcoming, applications are even more so. Most people don't want to fill out an essay just to be allowed to participate.

If I had to fill out an application, I wouldn't be here, and I'm sure a lot of others wouldn't be either.

That's not to say that better methods shouldn't be implemented though.

I imagine they don't necessarily always fail explosively. I don't know how often this stuff actually happens.

moody ,

No controversy. They're just animals that eat frogs.

moody ,

Which is ridiculous, because if that was how evolution worked, wouldn't it make more sense for that carbon to have never been sequestered in the first place?

moody ,

Stealing food? I didn't see shit.

moody ,

Very little. Older versions had already been open-sourced previously. This is specifically version 4.0, and the last version released was 8.0.

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again (www.techspot.com)

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...

I haven't bought any EA games in many years as well. I don't have any EA games in my Steam library, though I probably have some Xbox 360 games around. The only one I know for sure was Rogue Squadron II on Gamecube

moody ,

They can fuck off too

moody ,

Maybe not, I don't know if EA was handling Star Wars yet.

moody ,

It's distracting me from my work, but I don't want to stop it.

Still IMO the greatest French rap album of all time. Fantastic from start to finish.

On my phone, it gives a 5 second delay before making an SOS call.

moody ,

If you really have to ask, maybe you should do both.

moody ,

Sorry, I'm here but I'm not all there.

moody ,

A lot of people don't realize that the word gypsy has negative connotations or was ever used as a slur. For a lot of people, it's the only word they've ever heard to describe Romani people.

I'm not sure if that's a bad thing. The negative association being forgotten seems like a good thing, but the actual origin is bad.

moody ,

Let's pretend it doesn't exist. Surely that's less racist than acknowledging the truth!

moody ,

Google maps does work if you give it the right permissions. Google Pay does not, as NFC doesn't work under GrapheneOS.

I got a tip for the landlord: don't bet on a three-legged horse.

    People who have never been poor don't understand what being poor really means.

    moody ,

    Lots of TVs will connect to open networks automatically if they are available. If you have any open networks around you, disconnecting them from your own wifi may not be enough.

    moody ,

    We value providing our customers with choice, so there is an option to dismiss the notification.

    If that were true at all, they would have a pop-up in Edge asking if they want to keep using Bing or switch to another search engine.

    moody ,

    No, no, Microsoft cares about my privacy. I get a daily popup reminding me of this and also asking for me to share my private data with them.

    moody ,

    The parabolas' focal points are outside of the building, which incidentally is also the best place to be.

    moody ,

    We could certainly use legislation that prevents companies from calling it a buy/sell transaction when in reality it's a license transaction. Purchases can't be revoked or altered after the fact.

    moody ,

    Tidal also laid off 10% of their staff in December. Probably not union busting, at least.

    moody ,

    Some smart TVs need to be connected before they'll even start.

    The key thing is to make sure you look into that stuff before you buy.

    My TV is from the before days, and when it dies I'm not sure what the plan will be. Possibly a large monitor at 3x the price.

    moody ,

    Cryptocurrency, man! Money on the computer man, dang ol' ones and zeros, onna internet y'know, pew pew pew, zippin' on them wires..

    moody ,

    But how do you go from 10GB monthly to 190TB without it raising any flags? Apparently their site had been up for 4 years and suddenly the usage spikes by nearly 2 million percent, and nobody thinks to check up on why, or to notify the user that they're using an extreme amount of data, way beyond what they usually do.

    moody ,

    ... And now it's dead too.

    Apparently she recently took a 13 minute flight on her private jet. That's a pretty bad look.

    Surely you mean a slot-based CPU, of course. All my cool friends run Slot-A.

    Isn't a smurf supposed to be an account from an experienced user/player that's meant to make them look new or lower ranked?

    Smurfing is when a high-level player trolls the lower ranks below their skill level.

    Lots of players have smurf accounts for games where high- and low-ranked players don't get paired together, so they can play on the same team as their lower-ranked friends.

    moody ,

    Isn't that what socks are for?

    moody ,

    The 7-20 years you're seeing is probably for adverse posession, which is a step above squatter's rights. If you can show that you've been maintaining the property for that entire time without the landowner stopping you from being there, in some cases you can gain ownership of the property through adverse possession.

    Squatter's rights is more about the right to remain where you are as opposed to owning the place. Typically being given similar rights to a tenant.

    I use my whiteboard for swap.

    Silica gel is inert. It's not harmful, but the packets are a choking hazard. It's basically glass.

    That's probably not how you escape the simulation.

    moody ,

    If they don't want you to ship it back, it's pretty common for them to ask for some kind of proof of destruction. Back in the days of non-removable cords, they would have you cut the cord off your device or appliance before sending you a replacement.

    moody ,

    Sort of. It kind of makes sense in that they don't want you to lie about having a TV that doesn't work to get a free second TV. If the issue is small enough that it can easily be ignored, it's not worth replacing. And if it's a big enough issue that it's unusable, it shouldn't bother you to destroy it.

    What sucks is that stuff ends up in the landfill most of the time instead of being recycled.

    moody ,

    There's also a Jim Davis who's a professional MTG player and content creator. I'm sure he's no billionaire though.

    moody ,

    I think the correct plural is Jim Davises or Jims Davis. I think Jim Daves may also be acceptable.

    moody ,

    Nah, the Lotus and Ruby are both fake. Look at the corners on the Channel and Fireball, the way they're cut is what real cards look like. The Lotus and Ruby have perfectly round corners which is an obvious sign of a fake card.

    moody ,

    More importantly, who the hell owns a Lotus and a Ruby in that condition ungraded?

    moody ,

    Right, but what are the odds that the cards are still in mint condition being treated like that?

    Google's Chrome Browser Analyzing Your Browsing History with so-called "Privacy Sandbox" Feature

    For nearly two years now, Google has been gradually rolling out a feature to all Chrome users that analyzes their browsing history within the browser itself. This feature aims to replace third-party cookies and individual tracking by categorizing you into an interest category and sharing that category with advertisers. It's like...

    moody ,

    People don't realize how bad things are until they experience them differently.

    moody ,

    TTV LOL does it via a proxy. You can set it up so that it only proxies ads. As far as Twitch knows, you're still being served ads.
