Really? From what I’ve seen gallium just makes it brittle. It doesn’t make it melt.

Grandma’s shot challenge from hell
This is so funny I laugh every time I reread it. It implies so many things.
Yeah, it’s possible. It’s not incredibly likely, though, I’ve bought maybe six or seven games from key sites like that over the years and I’ve not been banned.
Just keep in mind that if the price is too good to be true it probably is- be really wary of any keys that are below the historical low for whatever game you’re buying.
There’s not, maybe that’s what he means by ‘in a way’?
Great games, highly recommend them. Not sure they really fit the trope, though.
It’s a slur so… saying it is what makes people think you’re racist lol.
I generally assume if someone is using the n-word anonymously that they’re either black or a racist.
It’s not like people have arbitrarily decided that only asians can say the word refrigerator- there’s history behind the word.
ChtGT
I’ve not seen someone censor that yet and I was confused asf lol
Yes, but that would just make them a biased source. Not an entirely useless one.
He can travel as a proper national leader to all the places he wants to travel
Unless he wants to travel to a place willing to enforce the ICC’s arrest warrant. Afaik he’s only been to Mongolia and South Africa since the warrant was issued, and both were criticized pretty heavily for not enforcing it.
Realistically, he’s not going anywhere that even might arrest him.
Either way, if nobody is going to enforce an arrest warrant they’re not going to claim a bounty either.
Because A: putting a bounty on the leader of a nuclear power is drastically different from the leader of a… terrorist rebel organization(I’m not entirely sure what to call al qaeda).
And because B: it would change basically nothing. Putin already can’t travel in most places internationally because there’s an ICC warrant out on him for war crimes. The bounty isn’t going to be relevant in Russia or allied places, and it’s not going to be much of a motivator to an entire government.
I don’t personally use this feature, so I don’t honestly know if this would solve your problem, but there’s a firefox addon that might add the functionality you’re wanting.
If it doesn’t, then this issue
except that links clicked from within them will open in Chrome intead of FF, which makes for a confusing experience.
could possibly be solved with a chrome extension
I pay for a single streaming service, and that’s just because it directly supports the people running the service and making the content.
Nebula?
I greatly appreciate your old man mode. Sounds like a fantastic job.
Hell I ran the processor (450MHz P3) without a fan, just a passive heatsink.
They still make passive heatsinks that work for modern CPUs, but they’re fuckin massive and not incredibly effective compared to just… putting a quiet fan on it.
it can be used separate from a “flame”, which is a term for the very flamboyant gay men regardless of their presentation or physical appearance.
TIL. I’ve heard people being called, usually in a derogatory way, “flamers” or “flaming” but never just “flame”, nor did I understand the context.
The ones that would travel for shows carried all the news and culture with them, like fabulous bards.
So just your average bard, then?
I can explain a few terms, if you’re interested. I’m simplifying so nobody murder me:
Retroarch is basically a program that lets you emulate (basically make your computer mimic a console to play the games from it) a bunch of different videogame consoles. Mostly old ones, but some newer things like the Switch.
Shaders are complicated to ELI5 but it’s easiest to think of them as a filter you can apply to a videogame in real time, like you would apply a filter to a photo or something. You can get some absolutely crazy effects with filters- generally the simpler the game the more shaders will accomplish. Here’s a minecraft screenshot of the same thing with and without shaders.
And just in case, CRTs are those old school tube tvs.
He’s basically just asking if shaders for old games intended to make things look more like a CRT are just nostalgia bait or if they actually make things look better.
I remember I had a CRT as a kid that had the deepest button press to turn on. It felt like it was a whole 3 inches of travel- realistically I’m just remembering it like that cuz I was 8- but that was the best button. You could feel it actuate at the end, and even hear it. And CRTs had a presence about them. In hindsight, I was probably just hearing the whine and didn’t realize it.
Idk CRTs had their own vibe. Objectively, the crazy resolutions and crisp screens we have todays are better but in some less definable ways they feel lesser.
Agreed completely. I have an S23 rn, but my previous phone was a mid-tier android with a fingerprint reader on the back. My natural resting grip on my phone would just unlock the thing. It was amazing. My current phone is a clear upgrade in every way except the fingerprint reader. My new one has it in the screen and I fuckin hate it.
There’s definitely memorization, but there’s just a ton of tricks that aren’t explicitly memorizing the images themselves.
They can sometimes narrow down the area based on the car that’s taking the images, or how wide the lens is. As a made up example, if they see a red toyota corolla is the car taking the photos- which they can tell based on the mirrors appearing- they know it’s specifically mainland Malaysia.
Very small context based clues a lot of the time.
Did he want to be fired without being cremated? I can’t imagine someone wanting to be splattered everywhere lol
