Most tone-deaf “Umm actually…” I’ve ever seen lmao
Edit: “Excalibur” is obviously a metaphor for “sword in stone”

They’re now all using WAN facing Windows 7 machines!
I thought for sure the billionaires ice coffin would’ve made that list.
Scanned the img with my NFC reader, can now walk in Merc Headquarters! Thanks!
One of the guys who invented the process for large scale production was Fritz Haber, to make explosives and chemical weapons. He’s also responsible for using chlorine gas on the battlefield in WW1. His wife was a chemist and an activist, who shot herself in the heart after learning about his involvement. Haber left within days for the Eastern Front to oversee gas release against the Russian Army.
He ended up saving more lives than he destroyed, but what a story.
ALL HAIL THE HYPNOGHAIK
When you put all the five year olds on earth in one room, every one of you would be able to compare two blocks, a rod and a ball. Depending on how you were thought you either pass the rod along or the ball. Then some very smart people came up with special ways to do very hard maths using those blocks.
Now, in the olden days they kept the way they thought those kids a secret. But we knew what the results were, so we could all do much harder math then we could do in our heads. So while the other adults knew how to pack you all closer together and needed new ways to do even harder math, there was a group of good people who didn’t really like all the secrecy and thought that they were doing it way to complicated but couldn’t do anything about it.
Like it always is, years went by and the world changed, they kept making up new rules on how the blocks should be passed around so it became slower. Those good people then decided we should be simplifying, to make it faster yet again! “And no more secrecy!” - They said. “So everyone can build their own mini five year old sweat shops and it would cost significantly less then it does now!”
I’d be willing to pay that yearly fee for one game, just to have it on there and play when I want. Meanwhile I’ll be using my PSP, so good for handheld emulation.
They’ve also locked N64 and GBA behind an extra subscription model on the Switch. I’ve paid a month here and there for online support, I don’t want an entire year AND paying double to play one or two retro games.
You could start by downloading your Google data raw, much easier to explore your own data if it’s all on the same drive.
Exactly, folding phones have so many issues people very rarely buy a folding one again.
Yep. I kept baconreader installed with an API patch so when I click on a reddit link I didn’t have to interact with their horrible interface, earlier this week I clicked one and the app still worked, now it doesn’t. When I was switching being able to continue using my app was a godsend, now I won’t even bother with changing my User-Agent lmao.
I’d say living for eternity doesn’t imply being conscious for that time.
Edit: Eternal recurrence could be a fun thing to witness
Just please don’t look how our politicians have reacted to the Israeli conflict
Combining sound and food stimuli is classic pavlov conditioning. Cats learn very quickly if they make any sound that a human will react in a way, ie scratching a door for territory or meowing for food.
Here’s the study on that, it was specifically the name calling that was studied. Where they concluded that the cats brain reacted to their name, but actively decided to ignore it. Always stuck with me as well!
I’m so used to roundabouts and red lights. They’re annoying for the lone driver, but add a bit of traffic and they move everything along so much smoother.
This dude UI’s
That’s why I called you tone-deaf, not even the article “mixed up” their magical swords. It’s saying “France’s ‘Excalibur’” referring to a sword-in-stone myth located in France, using its proper name a few lines in.
Using metaphors like that in titles is just a way to capture the readers attention. It’s the fastest and most succinct way to discribe the news and have everyone understand the point of the article. It’s not wrong, it’s a metaphor.
I get annoyed by people reading only the headline and feeling like they have something useful to contribute.
