This feels like you should still be able to require them to replace or fix it. It would be like them coming into your home, accidentally stepping on it and then saying, “oops, too bad it’s out of warranty.” It’s too bad that small claims is probably more expensive than just paying to replace it.

I love a bit of lemon glaze on my french toast.

Yeah, I almost added “and they most certainly do not” to the end of that sentence, but I was trying to underestimate a little as well.

The numbers aren’t too difficult to verify.

I found this Canadian government web page that says it’s roughly 8.9 kWh, so that checks out.

Looking at the fuel efficiency table on that same website, it looks like OP used a reasonable average fuel efficiency of 30 mpg or slightly under 8L/100km: 4 miles / 30mpg = 0.13 gallons, or 0.492 liters, so their claim of half a liter of gas also checks out.

The cheapest commercial energy in the US appears to be in North Dakota at $0.0741/kWh, so using $0.05/kWh was very generous.

The average Netflix user watches about 2 hours per day, or 60 hours per month.

Just in an attempt to be a bit more accurate, let’s assume the individual user’s television and internet router use about 900W, so we’ll use a final number of 8kW for Netflix’s power use per user.

8 kW * 60 hours= 480 kWh

And the cost of all of those kWh at $0.05: 480 kWh * $0.05 = $24.00

Or, the cost in the least expensive state in the US: 480 kWh * $0.0741 = $35.57

National average is $0.14/kWh, so unless Netflix was serving everyone out of North Dakota and Texas, their average cost per user would be much closer to $70 per user.

OP’s numbers were definitely already accurate enough for the point. Basically, there’s no possible way Netflix needs that much electricity to serve their users.

I’m a huge fan of the checkered background letting me know I’m possibly looking at a transparent image.

And after they had depleted the zebrafish’s gut microbiota.

Heroic Games Launcher works on Steam Deck, and syncs your achievements and cloud saves to GoG. The biggest downside to GoG is it requires you to use the Windows/Proton versions of your games for cloud sync to work.

It doesn’t mention you can take stuff with you. You might end up in Tirana Terminator-style.

In Arizona, simply concealing merchandise is still considered shoplifting:

Microwaves can generally reach up to nearly 3/4" in water. If heating 8oz in a glass, that should still heat the water evenly enough, since the microwaves will still mostly pass through the glass.

Heating in shorter increments and stirring in between should help avoid breaking the glass, and heat the water more evenly. If you take the time, it should be identical to kettle boiled water. That’s why people prefer a kettle to a microwave, it’s much faster and far less effort.

But the sister also performed that experiment in the worst possible way, why did she microwave the actual tea bag?!

Yes, but the achievements wouldn’t sync with the native Linux installation, I had to switch to the Windows install of Silksong before they started to sync to my GOG profile.

Heroic will let you install the native Linux game (if available), or the Windows version that runs on Wine/Proton. But like moody said, GOG will only allow cloud saves for the Windows versions of your games.

I was halfway through silksong before I realized cloud saves and achievements only work with the Windows version. Fortunately, copying the Linux save folder on top of the Windows one kept my progress, but I’m still missing most of my achievements. Guess I’ll just have to play again from the beginning.

Oh, I had assumed 2009 was his retirement year based on the IMDb history.

It looks like it was a single voice cameo and a mobile phone commercial; I wouldn’t really consider that small amount of work coming out of retirement. This will be his first actual full acting role since he retired.

When running as root, I did not need to add the firewall rule.

I haven’t tried rootful since I haven’t had issues with rootless. I’ll have to check on that and get back to you.

Philosophically I agree with you. I was just discussing a technological way to accomplish age verification without giving up users’ identities to a service provider, or the government knowing what service you’re using. Unfortunately, too many governments want to know what you’re doing inside your pants.

Oh, I was thinking the certificate would only be needed for signups - once the account is created, it absolutely should be on the account holder, not the service provider.
