I recently learned about passkeys which are a way to sign into an account without a username and password. Instead, your device has a key file that you unlock with some biometrics like your thumbprint and the site will log you in. I thought it was cool but then I learned Firefox is one of the only browsers that doesn't support passkeys.

Some people just like downvoting. Thanks for the reply!

I cast Teletypewriter!

My grandfather was an avid gardener and would always say "gardening is the best way to overpay for your tomatoes". It can be a fun hobby but there's no way you're growing food cheaper than farmers.

Edit: if you think you can produce food more efficiently than professional farmers, you should quit your job and do it professionally yourself! We can all use some cheaper food!

When you accidentally order your entire wishlist

That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

I need 74 Gear to review this exchange. His ATC vs. Pilot videos are great

The fan wiki page says Salmo is programmed to deliver bread to the inns they visit but if you give them bread they eat it instead. The crash is probably due to attempting to complete delivery of an item that's no longer in the inventory.

The wiki also says other characters in the game erroneously refer to Salmo with "she/her" pronouns, but until I ask Salmo for their pronouns I'll keep using neutral language.

Offering women housing in exchange for producing babies sounds like something from the Handmaid's Tale. Housing affordability should be addressed because people want to own homes, not because the baby making machines aren't making babies.

You mean the guy who said women need housing so they can have babies before their biological clocks run out didn't get many women votes??

Abortion became legal in Canada through the Criminal Law Amendment Act, passed in 1969. At that time, abortions could take place in hospitals, but only if a 3-doctor committee determined that the pregnancy posed a danger to the parent's health. In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Criminal Code provisions restricting abortion were unconstitutional and struck them down.

Abortion was legal with restrictions. The Supreme Court only removed the restrictions.

I wouldn't call it a news show. It's more like short video essays on systemic issues. But I definitely agree there should be way more content like this. Not only does it bring attention to issues a lot of people probably aren't thinking about, it also offers realistic solutions.

While it wasn't unintended, the Atari 2600 only had 39 bits of memory to draw 160x192 graphics to the screen. It accomplished that task using the fact that CRT screens displayed images by rapidly moving a beam of light across the screen. Knowing the beam could only be in one spot at any time, the Atari system held just enough space in memory to draw 20 pixels. As the beam moved across the screen, the system updated the colour of the next pixels immediately before they needed to be drawn in a method that became known as Racing the beam.

It was built that way because having enough memory to draw the entire screen at once would have made the Atari 2600 prohibitively expensive for consumers.

This is called a plot hook and Bert ain't falling for it!

On the surface he looks calm and ready

My favourite Call of Duty.

SCOTUS has been effectively making laws for a while. Interracial marriage is legal because of a SCOTUS ruling. Gay marriage is legal because of a SCOTUS ruling. Abortion was legal because of a SCOTUS ruling.

These are all legal in Canada because parliament passed laws making them legal, and not because of Supreme Court rulings. I get the sense that the US Congress is so bad at passing any laws whatsoever that the only time laws change is when SCOTUS changes them.

This post is anaerobicphobic

That's a little bit frightening

I suddenly see way more posts! Thanks!
