Nah, they just used the entire number.

Bonus storage space! Physical notification every time you roll off! More space for the monsters! Easier to keep bed bugs at bay! More options for the Waifullow 2600XX!

Nobody said you wouldn't have to pay for it ; ).

Wizard of Wor. Gameplay here.

The ones I've seen disable the 'consent' bits by default, but then there's 'vendor preferences' where 'legitimate interest' is automatically ON in 58 places (I'm not exaggerating; I have counted it) and you have to manually off all of them.

When you click the question mark at 'legitimate interest', all it says is some vendors are not asking for your consent to use your data but collect it based on their legitimate interest.

It's infinitely vague and it has the vibe of 'I'm not going to ask for it, I will just take it and I will use it for whatever I want anyway'.

JFC this name list is from a Japanese baseball game (MLBPA baseball / Fighting baseball) from 1994/1995.

"They are minerals, Marie!"

Before I would get any itch to join the TikTok trend back when it started, I heard that the Chinese Communist Party was collecting some worrying amount of information on their user base, has been suppressing and/or blocking content that raised voice about the uyghur situation and did various nasty things. So I thought I would stay away from that until the situation improves. I have never heard a fraction of information about that happening. Did everyone just suddenly stop caring about how disgustingly TikTok treats privacy and user data (and how they suppress voices they don't like), or did I just simply miss the bit where they stopped doing all those things?

Because that's one of the many reasons I haven't touched it with a stick.

You're amazing. I'm just watching Apollo-13 and as you're explaining your calculations it has an even more science-y vibe. It's hilarious.

Aaaah, interesting, thanks! Notes taken as well: put a fuzzinator on your distance function, as well.

Fair, I forgot about butt litter (I know we're joking anyway, but it's the same with solution 1 ;) ). Geez, thanks for the reminder, I was just about to eat. Mmmm, sprinkles.

Or you can just put the poop castle on a scale.

Wow, that's somewhat better, I guess.

Got it, thanks.

True! I just remembered that there was a way to make the whole word silent but didn't remember the T bit so I looked it up. This was the first example. Soften is much better!

Do you mean stuff like acquire? There are a good bunch of 'cq' words.

That's interesting! How about Q?

You CAN pronounce it fish, but you can also just simply not pronounce it.

GH is pronounced _ like in high.

O is pronounced _ like in jeopardy.

T is pronounced _ like in potpourri.

I is pronounced _ like in receive.

Therefore, ghoti is completely silent.

I don't get why someone downvoted you, but yes, of course it's just speculation. I merely said it would be worth looking into it.

Not too related, but I wonder how many sites/algorithms were written in a lazy way, making that "I'm not telling you where I am" circle centred perfectly around their address. So while it is designed to look like your address could be anywhere within the circle, I bet that with most of them you just have to put a pin into their exact geometric centre.
