What’s wrong with Jack Black?

I don’t hear anyone talk about the hottest 100 at all these days.

I work most public holidays and was a bit of a ritual to listen to it while we worked. When they moved it I just no longer listened to it. Now I don’t think I know anyone that listens to it.

Love that game.

“Time for chow lads!”

It was horrendously broken though. You could just turtle until the enemy ran out of resources then clear out their buildings. To be fair even StarCraft suffered from that sometimes.

Reminds me of all the people that complained Venom wasn’t R rated.

Venom. The kids comic/cartoon character that they made crave chocolate instead of brains. The one that wasn’t allowed to use the word “kill” or “die” because that’s not suitable for kids.

I assumed it was clear what I meant,

I don’t support a blanket ban because there’s no way for that to work. I do support the concept of separating developing minds from predatory media.

How do you do it? I don’t know. It’s easy to say the answer is parental supervision, but if it were that easy it would be an already solved problem.

The way social media works means that by the time you identify predatory behaviour, it’s already too late to prevent it. The way the government has gone about it is ignorant and embarrassing.

There was a lot of dodgy stuff on Reddit. Whether or he personally knew about all of it is one thing, but Reddit as a company allowed it up until it became fiscally advantageous to remove it. It was never about censorship vs free speech like the end users always argue about.

They recently did this in Australia. The method just doesn’t work. Most kids weren’t banned at all, other kids figured ways around authentication, and the ones that were banned just use their family accounts or use the services logged out.

What makes it worse is that kids who now access the services by getting around the ban are being exposed to content aimed at adults like gambling adverts.

I’m not opposed to the concept, but the fact is that there is no realistic way to enforce it. It’s an impossible ban but they attempted it anyway by putting the onus on the companies that have no interest in the ban.

I’ve heard it was only supposed to be a mini series. About 4 episodes. But then the studio noticed the buzz after it was announced and they told the production team to turn it into a running series, which is why it got padded with extra story elements and stretched out.

I know that’s a funny bit of trivia to bring up, but the actual reason that was the case is because once upon a time the mod of a Subreddit could add other users as mods without needing them to accept. Someone added his account as a mod and the dude likely didn’t even notice. He probably has some assistant running his account.

Reddit has turned into a dumpster fire, and that dude is like all the other greedy billionaires, but I don’t think it’s necessary to perpetuate false facts.

Lots of things will confuse tourists because “tourists” is a large collective of people and a fraction of those people don’t seek to understand the world around them. The only thing worth doing is adding a few common international languages on the “swim between the flags” signs (if it’s not already done).

Otherwise, what else can get the message across that isn’t communicated with flags, signage, and a literal team of fully equipped life savers set up in front of a busy section of beach?

Recently in Australia supporting nuclear was considered right wing because leading up to election our most conservative party wanted to do it, while our less conservative party was talking about investing in solar/wind/etc. it became an either/or conversation by default.

I don’t see how we can make progress when even just talking about energy is such a politically charged topic.

RAID5 and RAID6 can lose 1 and 2 drives respectively without data loss.

Where’s Microsoft on the list?

The satellite Cassini passed through a less dense section of Saturns rings and was met only by dust particles, despite the rings being populated by objects between 10 meters and the size of mountains.

Yes, Cassini

Have you seen The Happytime Murders? Might be what you’re looking for.

It shouldn’t be too hard to engineer orbit decay as a feature to avoid space junk.

Consider that space junk is so sparce it’s not really much if a consideration for launches. It’s like the rings of Saturn: the likelihood of a collision is so remote that they didn’t even consider it when we had a satellite move through it.

I know she did a duet with someone for a movie tie in song. I don’t remember the song, I don’t remember the movie, I don’t remember who the male singer in the duet was.

Just start by dropping it down to 3 numbers and see how you go from there.

Sounds like they are a liability when you put it that way.
