... booting up a less Micky Mouse operating system and cleaning up Microsoft's incontinence with something more absorbent?

Or are these immortal files inhabited by the acrid, haunting, and traumatically awkward presence of literally all the Autism in the universe distilled and compacted into the single most socially unaware idea ever conceived thouhgout all of spacetime: are these files -- in fact -- the way "Recall" is finally reborn into the world?

My opinion: yeah, probably. Learn to use SysInternals, or throw on the fucking Linux LiveBoot of your choice, & just nuke it from goddamn orbit.

Bullshit and lying fakedemics seems to be A Thing in Korea. Like all that business with the human cloning / embryonic stem cells, where Hwang Woo-suk basically just invented fiction for 20 years. Shocking.

Oh, the clip that Dave plays at about 8:15? Christ I had not even seen that one. That's really ucking embarrassingly awful. Are we SURE this wasn't just some joke that needs a Korean sense of humor to enjoy? Jeezuz.

Sorry to be "that guy" (I tried to get out of it, but today I am "that guy" according to the roster) -- but Lenz's law has nothing to do with the levitation effect you've no doubt seen in video clips about LK-99. For one thing, Lenz's law requires the conductive object and/or the magnetic field to be moving with respect to each other, in order to induce an opposing force.

What you see with LK-99 is exactly the same thing as levitating a graphite disc in a magnetic field, and the phenomenon is called diagmagnetism, which is basically just the complementary force of what most poeple know as "magnetism". In fact if you take another look at that video clip you'll see it's not fully levitating, and it's my understanding that it's only the friction at the contact point with the large magnet that stops the LK-99 nugget being repelled off to the side and away from the magnetic field.

There was no mystery. Literally the first time I heard about "LK99" was my not-even-a-physicist buddy telling me how he thinks it looks like a diagmagnetic ceramic with pretty good electrical conductivity described by an extremely poorly written paper -- but definitely not a "room temperature" superconductor.

So... they're not monolithic, but they are monolithic? Can't have that both ways.

By the by, yeah, conservatives are a wide and varied group, just like progressives are.

Last I checked, the conservative crowd was kicked off Reddit (they even went out and built their own, with blackjack and hookers), so I doubt it's them.

Also, without examples of this alleged racism, it's hard to say if it's actual Kluxer-speak, or if it's just stuff that gets said which hurt some poor flower's feelings. If the former, there's also no indication if it's just the usual bullshit trolling that every website forum on the planet has to put up with (we see it here with the GNAA bullshit), or...?

Pretty certain that the blind are going to have a very hard time playing the First-Person shooter games (or anything requiring visual acumen, really)... only so far you can go to accommodate, campers... sorry about that. I think it would be cool if someone innovated a means to let the blind actually get in on the action in such games, though.

Also, I don't get the 'limited time' angle. Isn't that what save-points are for? As long as you're not requiring a player to grind through, say, two hours of gameplay at average speed before hitting a save-point, what's the issue? These things were not crafted as some smartphone time-waster.

I was thinking something similar... I get that someone driving a $70k 4x4 truck with a steel grille guard would be more tempted to go full asshole when it comes to pedestrians, I drive a far less expensive truck and the temptation is strong under the right circumstances (especially when it comes to those chumps that step out from hiding behind a parked car at the last second w/o looking). However, I sincerely doubt that someone in a $70k Porsche (let alone driving something way out-there like a $3m Konigsegg) is going to risk damaging their car by colliding with someone in it.

The sad part is, it's hard to tell** if the government prodded it, or if Hotstar pre-emptively dumped the episode. It's one thing if you see a company forced to take something down due to an external force. It's another if it did so on its own, because you never know if it was done out of fear, or out of a sycophantic desire to get favors.

** to tell for certain anyway. After all, lies abound, as does the fact that in big bureaucracies one minion (even the lead one) may not know what others in the same org has done or said...

If I'm going to have to do all my own bagging and ringing-up, I'd damned well better be compensated for it.

Yes, that sounds entitled, but in all honesty, if I can get that courtesy elsewhere for the same price, I'll go get that courtesy elsewhere.

Some breeds do that. Most dachshunds are smart enough that you can free-feed them without too much issue, though they will still get obese over time if you let it happen.

I travel quite a bit for work, but my wife (and before they grew up, the kids) usually feeds the animals. Nowadays, if I take the missus along with me (which I do once in awhile so that we can go play tourist), then I make use of a kennel. For $25/day, the kennel has someone walk the dog, play with the dog, let it run around with other dogs its size, and they even bathe and groom the critter for me. $125 or so later, and I come home to a happy critter.

We do that maybe two times a year... $250 seems like a pretty good investment compared to some dorky contraption that requires an internet connection(!) just to feed the dog.

Now if you travel more than 20% of the time (e.g. a couple days a week, each week), you should not have a dog. Seriously.

I never thought I would utter the catch-phrase "Certificate-Industrial Complex."

How dare you!
