Either the “girliest” drink they have, or (more likely) a soft drink. I’m intrigued by cocktails and want to like them, but I never acquired a taste for alcohol.

I got a copy of Turbolinux 6 (released in 2000) from somebody at a Hamfest, but couldn’t get it to install and run.

Two years later, I was successful in running Debian and Gentoo.

Depends on the salad.

(But let’s be honest, it’s usually ranch.)

Suburban homeowners are the real “welfare queens.”

That’s what the “well-regulated militia” of the 2nd amendment was already supposed to be (give or take longbows vs. guns)

Neat, now I can design foundations for a moonbase.

It’s significantly worse if your house is humid, and dehumidifiers increase the heat, but they’re still worth it

Fun fact: the reason air conditioners are called “conditioners” instead of “coolers” is that they were originally designed for dehumidification.

WARNING: NOT FOR USE IN HIGH HUMIDTY.

Adding more water to an already hot and humid situation risks a Wet Bulb.

If the water coming out of your cold tap is cool (which it should be, since pipes are typically underground), then I think maybe it would still work because you could refresh the t-shirt with colder water occasionally. It’s just less than ideal compared to doing it in a dry climate.

I would definitely like to see a set of charts like this separated out by musical genre.

It used to be at least three felonies a day when violation of a website’s TOS was a violation of the CFAA (which can land you 25 years).

Did that stop being the case?

conspicuously on the same day as the Wikipedia Blackout protesting against SOPA / PIPA (PS: They’re still wanting to lock down the internet, which is why they want to kill Section 230).

Yeah, they’ve also tried to ram through ACTA, CISPA and the TPP since then.

and keep your style of speech different than your “real” one

Good luck with that!

I kinda feel like you’d need to run your comments through a style transfer LLM in order to do that successfully and consistently.

Definitely not. Which country the activist is in is one difference, but what they’re an activist about is another. Here in the US, some activists get shot by police while other activists get police marching with them, for example.

Doesn’t seem right to take the extreme position of “publishers should not be allowed to have ANY way of finding out who is leaking things”. There needs to be a balance.

Nah, fuck that; that’s both the opposite of an extreme position and is exactly the one we should take!

Copyright itself is a privilege and only exists in the first place “to promote the progress of science and the useful arts.” Any entity that doesn’t respect that purpose doesn’t deserve to benefit from it at all.

*Sceptre, not spectre.

(I misspell it almost every time, too.)

When my parents got a new TV, I made sure they bought a Sceptre. So far it’s working fine.

So TL;DR, the XKCD method, but with six words instead of four and using a larger wordlist?

Honestly, they were inviting that one upon themselves.

Doesn’t matter; I still get triggered by it every time anyway.

Did my comment not federate?
