Fits like this on my phone

lol your VPN company is going to kick you the instant you turn on LOIC through them. Your packets wont even get to the target site because you are basically attacking your own VPN.

is less about character and more about factors like social awkwardness, lack of friends, poor hygiene, unfortunate genetics, spending too much time online or gaming, etc

The struggle to form relationships comes from issues like what you mentioned here, which are mostly things that are a part of your character. The incel logic is circular.

The “Shortcuts” app for iPhone. Not sure what the Android equivalent is.

I have this set up automatically with our smart speaker thing. Whenever it detects someone arriving at home, it plays a jingle from a playlist I set up for the purpose. They are all short - I think the longest is about 30s. They are intros from TV shows and jingles from videogames.

It doesn’t take a textbook to figure out the capitalist plan would be to exploit these aliens as much as possible until every last dollar of value is squeezed out of them.

“Regular” instead of medium should be ok.

If there are only 2 sizes you can pick any 2 of the labels.

Strange or different? The trailer makes the movie look like bland cookie-cutter junk. They want to play it safe and hope Jack Black can carry the box office numbers.

Xubuntu is more than fine. Tbh it doesn’t hugely matter which distro you use for this type of thing

Ways open source projects get paid for:

• people do it as a hobby and don’t get paid
• people rely on donations
• government funded software projects are usually open source
• software created in an academic setting is usually released as open source (this often overlaps with government funding, but not always). Many important open source projects started in academia. Many open source licenses were initially written by academia for those projects (BSD was created by UC Berkeley, and the MIT license was created by MIT).
• Sometimes companies have a business model that doesn’t involve selling software, and they don’t really benefit from having that software be proprietary. They may open source their software because it gets other people to use it, and by extension gets people to buy their paid products. For example, there are some free, open source software projects by Nvidia, but you would need to buy one of their graphics cards to take advantage of it.
• Dual licensing. One strategy is to release your code as open source but under a copyleft license so it isn’t business-friendly. When a business wants to use it, they pay for a proprietary-licensed copy instead of using the open source copyleft version.

A pet peeve of mine is when a work of fiction either breaks its own rules or real physics in a way that isn’t justified.

I’ve had people go “what do you mean X is unrealistic? It has magic flying creatures of course it’s unrealistic!”

A fiction should still follow its own rules, and should follow real physics to the extent it borrows from it! Anything else is just lazy.

I think the thickening products just try to coat your hairs in oil or something to make each individual hair appear thicker to make the overall hair appear more full.

There are products like minoxidil that actually promote hair growth.

Ask here to get bandwagon responses and memes. If you really want an actual answer, go look up the Wikipedia article on the topic at the very least.

It has good mobile apps (And multiple options, depending on what you like).

This is pretty close to how the US government is organized.

What about the test case where I’m using the browser’s dev tools to re-send http requests in random orders?

Beowulf. The version I was given in high school was kinda half-translated from ancient English to modern English, such that I had to struggle to figure out what the modern equivalent of a lot of the words were supposed to be in order to understand it.

Also every time a character is introduce it goes for like a whole page about their family tree and sword collection.

I never imagined a book about fighting monsters could be so boring.

I’ve seen CDs, vinyls, and sometimes digital options for sale at concerts.

It’s happened in some places. The local high school and train station parking lots where I live have them.

I find it hard to believe that a far market can exist when everyone is required or effectively required to purchase something. If you think of supply and demand, the demand for something like health insurance or legally mandated car insurance is effectively infinite.

The decision to get car insurance or not is not “is the value this car insurance provides worth the money” it’s “is the value this car provides worth the money”. Similarly, the value of health insurance becomes the value of getting any sort of medical treatment, because it’s generally impossible to get treatment otherwise.

This allows the insurance companies to charge rates far beyond the value they actually provide, because they are legal gatekeepers to far more valuable opportunities.
