Actually, from what I can tell in my brief 15-minute internet search, every version of Windows since NT has accepted both because DOS 2.0 supported both. The exception to this was Command Prompt. But, these days, it supports both. Not sure when they made that change in Command Prompt, but I think it’s been that way since at least Windows 7.

Technically, Windows understands both / and \. I personally always use / just because it’s easier to type that.

Yeah, I think Firefox’s translation feature is technically still in beta.

Firefox has translation now, too, on both mobile and desktop.

And you can optionally add the Google Translate extension to desktop Firefox if you want. (It really is convenient, isn’t it?)

And you can always just plug in the URL of whatever page you’re trying to translate directly into https://translate.google.com/.

I know Steam itself says it doesn’t track your playtime while you’re playing offline. Not sure about the Steam Deck, though.

Not He Onion? Or No The Onion?

Linux, politics, and the occasional meme that doesn’t fit in either of the other two categories.

Oh, we had something like this in college. The vendor would load up the… well, actually, it was more like a big version of those little coolers you see in the checkout line in grocery stores—the ones with the sodas and stuff in them. Anyway, the vendor would load them up every couple days. It’d have sandwiches, salads, puddings (which were actually really popular), sodas, Gatorade, water, and a bunch of other stuff. If we wanted something, we would just get it out, scan the barcode on the scanner attached to the handle, tap our phones or cards to pay, and be on our way.

Since you mentioned it, I’m obligated to link this clip.

Unfortunately, bullets fired straight up need to… come down. And the wind means it won’t always land in the same spot.

I still remember some idiot fired a pistol or something straight up at a local fireworks show a few years ago. A little boy died. It was really sad. I don’t think they ever found the guy who did it, either.

… I just googled it. That was ten years ago. Dang…

Just a guess, but it’s probably just because the person would end up throwing a tantrum. “YOU CAN’T ARREST ME! I’M BEING ARRESTED! I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG! WHERE’S YOUR PROOF!” (Or something like that.) As anyone around them tries to ignore the guy shouting at the top of his lungs and trying to do his best not to get handcuffed.

They’re not banned for cheating (this time). They’re banned for invading Ukraine.

If that’s not remorse, I don’t know what is.

Ah, that’s what you meant. A presidential nominee will typically pick someone who’s different enough from them (but that they still fundamentally agree with) that people who felt underrepresented by the presidential nominee pick will feel represented by the vice presidential nominee pick. That’s the general logic behind who becomes the VP pick.

That’s exactly what happened in 1800. Both Jefferson and Burr, who were from the same party, tied in the electoral college vote. Some people in the party didn’t like Jefferson, but they but didn’t like the opposing party even more.

Each electoral college member got two votes. So all the electoral college members who were part of what would be the winning party ended up casting one vote for Burr and one vote for Jefferson, resulting in a tie. (Due to slow communication in those days, they all assumed someone else was going to be the one who would cast the tie-breaking vote.)

The tie went to the House of Representatives to break it, as is specified in the Constitution. Unfortunately, neither Burr nor Jefferson got the majority vote needed even after thirty-five separate votes. (Note that, in the US House of Representatives and the Senate, a “majority vote” is not “more than 50%”. Typically, you must get 2/3 of the votes in order to win.) On the thirty-sixth vote, Alexander Hamilton managed to convince some others to vote for Jefferson, and he got the majority vote he needed and became president.

No. There’s a reason we amended the Constitution not to do that. The system prior to the 1804 election created a deadlock between two candidates that took the House of Representatives (which is responsible for breaking said deadlocks) thirty-six attempts to try to break the tie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

To add to what the other guy said, IIRC, people were also taking advantage of it by ordering from restaurants that were further away than 30 minutes.

I think OP is simply cheering that they want Russia’s economy to crumble.

This power grid thing is only a small part of their economy, and OP wants more bad stuff to happen to their economy.
