The timing of the click captcha loading is randomized and it probably is looking for human-ish cursor movement? (Like you’re probably moving your hand in imperceptibly small ways that are difficult to replicate). Clicking before it loads and doing it repeatedly probably triggers detection.

Here’s an explanation

TBF to the Dutch, the regular food they serve you at a restaurant nowadays beats the USA by a mile.

I had fried gator and it was actually a pretty nice meat all considered - it had that “freshwater fish” taste that I kinda dislike but otherwise it was sort of a softer-textured chicken.

If someone you know has/if you have kids: car vaccumn. It’s thoughtful, useful, easier than stopping by the gas station just to clean out the family truckster, and you can find them for around $25 at Walmart.

One of the big buttons on that story is that in 1993, Los Angeles County Hospital had like… 2 incubators.

Psh. You posuer. I’ve converted my life savings to yuan notes and am now keeping them under the bed to reduce the circulation of cash in the Chinese economy.

I drink water, water comes out. I drink soda, water comes out. It’s pretty obvious, my body don’t want the water.

They’re definitely worth caring about (and for) but I’d say it’s really important to put the dangers of nuclear power in the context of what we’re already doing, and it’s magnitudes safer. While I feel like we should be pushing for more renewables regardless, at the same time nuclear’s still really viable because it doesn’t have the availability (renewables are weather dependent) and storage (you can just keep running it on demand) issues.

IIRC Chernobyl amounted to about 46 people dead from the disaster itself, (the Fukushima incident did not kill anyone at the time it occurred IIRC, three mile island didn’t kill anyone) and while it did release a lot of radioactive material that did result it more cancers/excess mortality, coal burning releases about ten times more radioactive material than a nuclear reactor (coal has trace amounts of radioactive material in it). So even if we’re just comparing the hazards of radiation nuclear is probably the better/cleaner option if there’s a robust and quick response after incidents.

The guy was pulling down 6 figures making everyone else’s life worse, so fuck 'em

“Pandora Papers Reveal Offshore Holdings of Ukrainian President and his Inner Circle”

Like seriously, you’re arguing that Ukraine’s liberal democracy is somehow better than Russia, when the point of liberal democracies under late capitalism is to strip all the copper out of the walls (privatize, austeritize, union-bust), everywhere, all the time.

It’s from '06, I think? Apparently Vin Diesel actually turns in a pretty good performance in this, from what I’ve heard.

I’m at about 3TB with about 1/3 of that being games. 1TB is HDD, 1 is SSD, and 1 NVME. I’ve progressively add more drives every time I re-install my system so there’s a bit of cleanup for me to do I guess

Ah gotcha - well it always comes down to use case, imo.

Libre office’s filtering is far better though- being able to apply actual regex instead of Excel’s weird proprietary pattern matching is just so much better that I opt for it most of the time.

Homeopathy. It’s literally based on the idea that diluting stuff turns it into a remedy.
