He mentions why it looks old on the home page, point number 12.

Plaster has been steadily falling out of favor, however, at least from what I understand.

I learned a fun fact from my contractor neighbour... they're doing a lot more jobs with plaster these days. People have moved away from popcorn ceiling finishes and wallpaper, and flat (in both texture and paint finish) painted walls and ceilings amplify every last little defect in drywall. A plaster crew can achieve a much better finish faster than a drywall crew.

If you can hire a plaster crew, because they've gotten rarer.

now you'll not only be carded every time you buy porn, but every single time you access it.

Unless you access it via a pirate site. But nobody would do that.

You submit a DNA sample to a service that tries to match samples to dog DNA, you're probably going to get a match against dog DNA.

Try 23andMe next time.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

If there are no records of who did the work, then the CEO of Boeing did the work.

Start with that premise, and see where it leads. I suspect they'll be sufficiently motivated to find some records.

Allow self-certification, but require an FAA investigation, including private interviews, every time someone responsible for any certification leaves their position. Make "fix this or I quit" mean something.

When they load you into the trains, Iâ(TM)ll be taking photos to feed my Ai so folks never forget.

Until the next generation of you calls for censorship and forced speech.

Misinformation is free expression, comrade.

but I am skeptical there is BROAD appeal for watching other people play video games. There's clearly an audience for it, but I just don't get it.

For most games, yeah. However, I actually enjoy watching long-form "no commentary" playthroughs of games that have strong stories. With the modern graphics we're seeing now, it becomes very cinematic.

But I definitely don't want to listen to some dipshit ranting while waving a controller.

Yes, rampant inflation creates jobs.

Fuck off with those data points.

I voted for no one and am glad.

Quebec has their shit together. But then cross the provincial border to Ontario, and marvel at a total clown show of government-owned electrical utilities.

I use uBlock Origin, and I haven't seen any new behavior yet.

I use uBlock Origin (and ScriptSafe, and other layers of tools), and I'm getting a mixed bag. Ad audio plays, but the ad video is black, and only at the start of a video, with no interruptions while watching. I'm sure I can update/kick uBlock to fix that if I want, but it's the least annoying YouTube ad behaviour I've experienced, so I'm not in a rush to discourage it.

Young layabouts prefer FREE over PAID!!

You're assuming teens are sticking to the free tiers of YT. You're also assuming teens are paying for Netflix (rather than riding their parents account). The survey didn't ask anything about the financial angle, so it's a bit of a jump to draw that conclusion.

It's just as likely that teens simply prefer a less curated experience than Netflix.

Look up "Reinheitsgebot" and "Maerzenbier" for two obvious examples.

That's where climate change will make a dent. The EU has a lot of legally-protected brands/styles (beers, cheese, wine, etc, etc) which are tied the climatology of a limited geographic range, and climate change is going to move those areas (and possibly make the style irreproducible through traditional methods).

Which sucks, but it's arguably one of the less troublesome aspects of climate change. Unless you're a producer of one of those protected products.
