Volleyball athletes were multiple times offered less revealing clothing and denied them because it actually harmed their performance, compared to the current standard.

New efforts for streaming guidelines do limit certain close ups or angles, given the outfits, though.

Games like these are better without fast travel anyway

They did actually release a 30 day trial for Plus that expsires around now. Somebody may have used your email, as many were creating multiple accounts to get around usage limits.

I went from cutting edge tech excited nerd to literally this picture, and life is better.

Porn stars rarely even have the opportunity for pleasure during filming.

Men are taking penile injections to increase performance, having to stop and cut the video several times. Women are using numbing gels to handle filming the scenes without much pain. Everything is awkward to angle it proper for the camera.

Many Latin American countries always add bay leaves when cooking any type of bean. There are beans in a burrito.

In Brazil’s version of the Shark Tank TV show, they sometimes call for guest “sharks” to show up besides the regular hosts. Once, the founder of China in Box, Brazil’s largest Chinese fast food chain (and one of the first in general) was there.

So the participant shows up and his pitch was a device he invented for peeling garlic faster at home. It’s basically a blender motor, but with attachments to vibrate the garlic against the container rather than cut through it, so the skin peels off and the garlic is ready for usage. After the pitch, of course, they ask the hosts if they want to invest into their company.

So the Chinese food guy says “oh no, no way I’m investing into that, it’s a kitchen appliance - in ten years, nobody will have a kitchen in their homes, they’ll use delivery apps for every meal, they won’t ever need any cooking apparatus”

And honestly his comments still fill me with rage every single time.

I have a visceral “AI” sensor that triggers when I see these:

“Rust Implementation (v2)”

“Performance Benchmarks (Validated)”

Human beings don’t self-validate explicitly like that. AI loves doing it.

You generate code, there’s a bug, you ask for a fix, your AI of choice will always output with:

*** Fix build issue ***

*** End fix ***

and then call it “Version 2 (Validated)”.

Sometimes it’s more subtle, but you can feel it, it loves adding “confirmed”, “working”, “validated”.

Friendly reminder that the so called “Amazon flying rivers”, which are extremely large and interconnected networks of insanely humid air generated by Amazon’s incredible density of forest and actual rivers, are so great they’re not a part of the “microclimate” (the local climate usually associated by being near a forest) and instead heavily influence the climate of the entirety of South America and quite a large portion of North America through atmospheric effects - a simulation showed that without the Amazon, California loses 50% of it’s main clean water source. There are regions in the US that would dry up without the Amazon.

So what seems like a small local win is actually internationally relevant.

I don’t see the appeal of cars in general, but this is particularly ugly.

It looks like what you see on a PlayStation 2 game if you’re far away enough from the objects to trigger the low poly LOD version.

I never understood why in the US (North America? Europe?) children do this experiment with potatoes. Use a citric fruit instead, much better at moving ions around.

I fail to see how that’s in anyway relevant to my comment about fruit.

Technically fruits are plants babies you know?

If you’re going to try to use biology to make an argument, no matter how bad the argument itself is, at least learn the third grade basics.

Fruits are made to be eaten. On purpose. They’re not “plant babies” - they’re precisely crafted to attract animals like you to eat them, the idea being that the seeds gets dispersed via the animal to a place farther away than the initial parent.

In other words, a plant spends a lot of energy creating a juicy fruit precisely so you can eat it.

Which I do think is worth distinguishing from the actual whole pieces of tuna

So a tuna can…? Canned Tuna? Canned Fish?

“Tuna Fish” is still redundant and doesn’t actually address the can

Sulfur causes that effect on silver, and it can happen slowly when exposed to humid air.

You can magically fix it by boiling water (must be boiling) then placing a sheet of aluminium foil in a container, placing the spoon on top of the foil making direct contact, them sprinkling some salt or sodium bicarbonate and pouring the boiling water on top. You’ll see it start bubbling, and the bubbles will smell like rotten eggs.

Leave for fifteen minutes, you’re done. But again, boiling water, this reaction requires a lot of energy and warm water won’t even start it.

AI writing tools — improve, summarize, translate, and more (Anthropic / OpenAI)

why though

Maybe you did take great moon pictures. Maybe the picture was a white blob and Samsung just added those craters for you.

Reminds me of when Samsung got caught placing a moon PNG texture on top of blurry images of a lamp, if they were round enough, in essence faking their “amazing zoom and night mode moon photography”

Books aren’t an answer to this question if you need quick information you couldn’t have predicted you’d need, and therefore do not own a book about.

Wikipédia is fighting an ongoing and ever increasing issue of collaborators pushing AI text into articles, which contain false information.
