It's not freaking new. Dark Elves were always depicted as _Elves_ with dark skin black as night with a blue|purple hue, -- such a tone of color doesn't exist at all in humans.

What's next, *Lolth the Queen of Spiders or the Queen of the Demonweb Pits is not evil she's just misunderstood.

(*) Lolth -- the most influential goddess of the drow, within the pantheon of the Dark Seldarine.

but ask yourself... why isn't he colored white?

Probably because an executioners hood was almost always black?

Maybe that would be a bit much even for 1994? Maybe an editor (or the artist) changed it to obscure the origin?

The origin of what?

Because the alternative is that the artist & editors were so clueless they didn't realize that a pointed hat an an executioner in America means KKK. Go watch this [youtube.com] for an epic example of that in practice and a detailed explanation of why it's a bad thing (tm).

Riiiight. Cuz we've seen so many instances of KKK in black hoods wandering around with 6 foot poleaxes.

Comment Re:They want WSL to move people from Linux / MAC? (Score 0) 117

Right mouse click on a shortcut in Windows. Select the properties. CTRL+C the working folder. Go to Explorer and CTRL+V in the location bar. Watch as Explorer thinks you just typed in a web address and opens your web browser. All of this because in the properties, working folder is surrounded by quotes if you are using names with spaces, and literally no other program outside the terminal treats quotes as an actual path, but instead they all treat it as a web address.

Now that alone wouldn't be a killer, but gosh it's a big paper cut.

Sure... Copy the path, Launch Explorer, Paste the path and hit enter... instead of clicking on "[Open File Location]."

Comment Re:Could this be why people got re-infected? (Score 1) 200

It hasn't been proven that folks have gotten reinfected, the CoVid tests don't accurately measure living viruses in the host. Thus you can wind up with false positives, since the test will count dead virus detritus and virus fragments that haven't cleared out of the host, as well as a current active infection.

Comment Re:In 1yr SMR will be gone (Score 1) 138

When other reports looked into this earlier in the week -- there was no "savings on SMR." The SMR drives were within a couple dollars of comparable capacity CMR drives... and in some cases the SMR drives were listed at a higher price than comparable CMR drives.

The savings are going to the manufacturers almost entirely.
