Sounds like an average day trying to run something on Linux.

Did you have “Back Hole Sun”?

I didn’t, but it also doesn’t mention water

Someone please edit the Wikipedia page for magnets to add the fact that water cancels them out.

iCarly was just a follower of JenniCam and AmandaCam from the late 90’s and camgirls/camboys/cammers in the early 2000’s.

Yeah this is scary, especially given the number of people who visit.

However, this may be a case where things locked down (in a futile attempt to contain the thieves), as opposed to a fire. This still isn’t great, especially if it was someone who wanted to hurt people, but it’s probably why it happened.

Communication is Paramount

Yeah, so you shouldn’t use a well-established term like “heat death” in your own way just because you feel it’s appropriate. Words have meanings. That’s how we communicate.

If I call you a nincompoop to say you’re really smart, just because I think there’s no clear etymology for the term, so it isn’t “linguistically relevant through uniqueness” (whatever the fuck that means) to say it means you’re foolish, you probably wouldn’t understand that’s what I meant. You might even take it as an insult. So our communication would have broken down through my misuse of a word with a well-established meaning.

Drain the swamp?

Read the article, the 900% increase is only for the most expensive rooms.

I love that some asshat was triggered by you calling them an asshole and downvoted you.

I feel like this is a reference to something…

Plex screensaver isn’t far off. Though now you reminded me I have to get myself off Plex. Sigh.

and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs?

In 2017 Microsoft’s gaming division had about 9 billion dollars of revenue.

In the last fiscal year (ended in July) that revenue was 23 billion dollars.
Sony: 31 billion dollars
Nintendo: 9 billion dollars? (harder to find numbers)

Microsoft still has 95% of the market share for PC operating systems for gaming: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam

I think they’re doing okay. Just because they’re not number 1 in consoles doesn’t mean they’re dead. 30 million units sold of Series X/S isn’t exactly losing their ass. And all console fans should cheer for MS to keep going. It’s great that Steam Deck and the like are pushing into the market now, but losing Xbox would be terrible. Price, innovation, and quality would suffer if Sony didn’t have MS nipping at their heels.

I was coming here with the exact same quote with a:

It’s not really important history to be fair.

The bigger deal is it can fuck with local economies:

The International Impact of Donated Clothing https://borgenproject.org/the-international-impact-of-donated-clothing/

While exporting used clothing helps repurpose material from the U.S., it can seriously undermine the textile industries of developing countries.

And still harms the environment:

Your used clothing donation may be doing more harm than good https://news.mcmaster.ca/used-clothing-donation-garments-environment/

In addition to clogged drains, each day about 154,000 lbs. of used clothing leaves Accra’s main garment market bound for a dump on the banks of the Korle Lagoon.

You answered your own question. Are you master baiting us?

This is the one I was looking for!

It looks like a translucent black rectangular overlay that happens to line up with the chest to me.

Why they have it I’m not sure…
