You can always request a refund while outside the 2 hour limit, it's just going to be manually reviewed instead of automatic.

The time limit is arbitrary. There are lots of games that can be finished within a few hours. I've heard some devs say their short games are refunded at much higher rates than longer ones and recommend ensuring a game is at least 2 hours long. It's like YouTube paying more money to creators who make videos that are 10min+. Now you have videos that could have been 2 minutes stretched out for meta reasons.

I doubt Blue Prince specifically tries to hide game mechanics for 2 hours to prevent people from refunding it. It's just a slow burn puzzle game.

The ghosting of the sword, the overly wavy reflections in water, the sun burning your retinas. 15 frames of perfection every second!

The source code leaked is all custom code that hasn't been updated since 2015 and uses functions that have been removed from PHP for being insecure since 2019. The hack supposedly took advantage of PDF uploads not being scanned for embeded code. 4chan uses a program called ghostscript to create thumbnails of uploaded PDFs but the version they use is from 2012 and the hackers likely used a known exploit to get it to run embeded PDF code.

So unless the other websites are also running software from a decade ago, they're probably good.

If they don't fix the vulnerabilities their site had then putting it back online would just lead to continuous hacks. I'm guessing it's going to be a massive overhall. 4chan was started by a 16 year old in 2003 and really hasn't changed much since then.

Depends on the type of contempt charge. Legal Eagle compares the types in a video on this case.

tl;dw

• Civil Contempt (coercive) - incremental fines or jail time until the charged follows an order.
• Civil Contempt (compensatory) - a fine paid to someone who was wronged by ignoring a court order
• Criminal Contempt (direct) - jail time meant as punishment for directly disobeying a judge while court is in session
• Criminal Contempt (indirect) - jail time meant as punishment for disobeying a judge while court isn't in session.

Criminal contempt can be pardoned and Trump has pardoned it before. Civil contempt cannot be pardoned but it only lasts until an order is followed.

Enforcing a contempt ruling is the next issue. Normally a US marshal would enforce it but they technically answer to the Attorney General, who answers to Trump, who could order them not to listen to the judge or be fired. A court could theoretically deputize someone to enforce the order directly, but that has never happened and people could just not recognize the authority of the deputized officer.

Keeping animals that have been bred into domestication over thousands of years is different than catching a wild animal and putting it in an enclosure. Corgies don't wish they were out in the wild hunting deer, they want people to pet them. Tigers don't want to be pet no matter how nice the magicians are.

The French word for apple is pomme.
The German word for apple is Apfel.

The French word for Germany is Allemagne.
The German word for Germany is Deutschland.

Asking why all languages don't call Germany "Deutschland" is the same as asking why all languages don't call apples "Apfel".

Even within the same language, pronunciation changes by regional accent. Which region has the correct accent and which regions are kids taught to pronounce things incorrectly? Languages also change over time. The grammatical rules of English now aren't the same as they were 100 years ago. Is English more correct now or less correct?

Language is more like music than it is math.

The only people who would register would be janitors, mods, and admins. There are 4chan passes where you pay $20 a year to skip captchas and have a lower post cooldown which works by associating a token with an IP address. The token is emailed to you and you get reminder emails when the token is expiring so you can renew it. So 4chan would likely have emails for pass users too. Pass users still post anonymously. I don't know the exact stat but I remember the owner saying something like only 1% of users have a pass.

Sometimes I wonder how America voted in a fascist government and then I read comments like this. This is the same as wearing a white hood to a game with a black student. It is a direct threat against the student. It doesn't matter how passive they make the threat.

NASA has a webpage on aeronautics that says lift is the mechanical force created by a solid object turning a flow of liquid or gas. They also have an equation for calculating lift for any solid object/fluid combo.

Feed her a stew that makes her blind for a day

You underestimate how many people literally cannot stop themselves from playing Mario. I'd hope it's mostly children begging their parents, but I have a feeling there's a decent amount of 30 year olds with disposable income and zero impulse control in there.

Likely this. Gift cards are popular purchases when using stolen credit card details. The online order makes it easier since there's no physical card/chip needing to be replicated.

The workaround is changing a single setting.

Not everyone has tics they must surpress while in public.

You got farther than me! I stopped at this part

Carney effectively agreed with the ludicrous concept that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. The Trudeau government was well known to have a soft spot for the Palestinian terrorists, but even they did not go that far.

That and the fact that he's already said he'd remove them if countries do what he wants. Why would someone invest in setting up a business if the tariffs protecting their product can be removed at any time?
