“The customer is always right” might get misused a lot, but it is correct in this instance.

If a lot of your customers don’t like something, it’s not something wrong with the customers.

It is literally taking the Lord’s name in vanity.

Or if you have good hardware that doesn’t need the transcoding. If I was loading up h265 video on my server, I’d need to convert it to h264 or something else compatible if I wanted to use it with my iPad, since it’s old enough it doesn’t support doing anything but software decoding of that codec, and it doesn’t have the strongest processor.

Hadn’t bitcoin not been viable on GPUs for over a decade? Most of the cryptocurrency hype was mining other coins on GPUs, or using them to do blockchain calculations for NFTs and things.

At the same time, it is trivially easy to strip a + alias, so I’d not trust it to do anything much at all.

To a lesser extent, so did the Lorax’s Aloysius O’Hare.

Where do you buy thick bacon?

A cafe at my uni sells muffins with a centimetre thick slice of bacon in.

I was curious if it’s possible to buy bacon that thick as a consumer, and where. The local butchers either don’t have any, or just have the same thing slices Coles and Woolworths have.

Good luck!

The anti-vegans, who are strong proponents of an all-meat diet.

That would make sense, if they were doing something like tracking how often and what categories trigger their moderation filter.

Just in case an errant update or something causes the statistic to suddenly change.

I think that’s their point. You wouldn’t have a choice again if Intel goes out of business.

It’s been that for a while. Tumblr’s had it a while, between the earlier days of the user base, and the site not being the most well-coded thing compared to Twitter or Reddit.

You also can’t exactly get ethical approval to put microplastics into people for the purposes of scientific experimentation. Or at least, it would be very difficult. More so when current evidence shows that it does have actively harmful effects.

To think we could have almost had the Octopus system Hong Kong uses.

They’re nice when they work. Problem is when they don’t.

Why are the new Myki readers so awful? I’d argue them to be worse than even the first-generation readers with a bad read.

The entire device basically gets locked out on a bad read for about a minute. If your Myki doesn’t read properly, or your phone is acting up, a few retries could lock out a big chunk of the station gates.

Maybe it’s cascade effects? Something depends on something else, which depends on a third thing that depends on AWS for something?

They do call it a Hellsite for many reasons. Not being profitable is one of them.

At the same time, it has calmed down a bit as the user base has aged up, and the more volatile elements have left for bluer skies.

Oddly enough, other than the mess of the NSFW filter, it’s been fairly controversy free. You can still use their API without paying globs of money, for example. Twitter and Facebook have all thrown that out, and Reddit has made other bad decisions, in addition to imploding their third party app ecosystem.

Firstly, that clip shows nothing about the driver’s current speed, only that everyone is driving the same speed.

You cannot do 140 km/h down the interstate, just as you do not do 100 km/h down a residential street or a main road. That’s a pretty notable difference. No-one does that.

An extra 15 miles an hour is a pretty significant difference basically everywhere, unless you’re on the Autobahn or something.

No it isn’t. No normal person drives 30 kilometers over the speed limit. You don’t go into a school zone doing 40 mi/h.
