I've got one more to add to your list, and I hate it, but it's worth mentioning: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation

It's when the data type is in the name of the variable.

Whatever you do, don't use G2A and other similar CD key reseller websites. Developers would rather you just pirate the game because a lot of those keys are stolen, which cause a charge back that ends up costing the developers tens of thousands of dollars in fees. In rare cases it has even bankrupt them.

Yeah this basically sounds like it takes the temporary container add on that I think was folded into Firefox at some point recently and basically just does it behind the scenes now on a per domain basis

I only just got around to deleting Alien Blue a few weeks ago. I don't think that app has worked in like 5 years lol. RIP Apollo

I've never had an original thought in my life 😂

Reminds me of the ancient card crusher meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/card-crusher

No OP was right. If the reCaptcha is on the same page as a login, and I use my password manager to fill the fields, I fail the reCaptcha almost every time. I have to manually paste in the user name and password separately to slow things down to act more human...

To be fair, with regular groceries, it's not uncommon for consumers to be concerned about whether or not the person who manufactured or processed the good or food you are buying was paid a fair wage. So in that sense, it is kind of relevant to the hotdog vendors customers.

I'm only playing devils advocate though. Fuck epic lol

I forgot it's already bee n 5 years since Covid fuck. Keen definitely got worse way before Covid so it was probably 7 years ago. Updated. You honestly might just not know what you're missing if you've only had shoes from them after the change. As I recall, almost every component of the Presidio got cheaper and it went from a nice leather walking shoe with a well padded tongue to just another synthetic sneaker with a thin tongue basically for the same $110

Kleen Kanteen insulated water bottles is my pick. I have one from 2012 that looks like the Gameboy that survived a bomb blast from a decade of dropping it while walking and biking, and it still holds a vacuum on the insulation walls and doesn't leak.

Nah you can't trust Keen anymore as of like 7 years ago. They switched to much cheaper shoe materials on their presidio walking shoe that was super popular, but the price didn't drop at all. At the same time, they started inserting huge globs of rubber in the heel of their hiking shoes so you are forced to use their brand of insert that has a hole to fit said bump.

Unreal Tournament GOTY let's fucking go!

Presumably if they didn't comply it would have been a lawsuit

Before looking at VPNs, you should be encrypting your torrent traffic in the client

Note:* Remember that the encryption torrent option only encrypts your inbound and outbound torrent traffic. Although it will not be readable, your traffic can still be intercepted and tagged as torrent traffic. If you want to increase your privacy, you’ll need to encrypt the entire layer 3 traffic (at the IP level), so it is recommended to set Deluge with VPN. To hide traffic at layer 7 (application layer), use a torrent Proxy. And finally, to hide, encrypt, and speed up your torrents, use a Seedbox.*

Nintendo shuts down Smash World Tour ‘without any warning’

Said tournament was going to have the largest ever prize pool of $250,000.

Given the company’s aggressive copyright enforcement, this isn’t the first time that Nintendo has forced grassroots competitions using its games to stop operating, having similarly shut down a Super Smash Bros. tournament in 2020. Nintendo also notably ordered Evo — the world’s largest fighting game tournament — to shut down a planned Melee event in 2013 before reversing the decision.

The Smash World Tour said it will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of the shutdown but reassures all attendees of the canceled events that they will be issued full refunds.

Close! It's naive

Blanket statements are often exaggerated, but I'm fairly certain the worst wet food is still better than the best dry food.

When it comes to small expensive electronics, you can never be too careful.

I was still in school when the PSP came out, and I had one on launch. I was dumb and was taking it to school daily, but I was very careful not to leave it out of my sight. One day in science class, it was stolen from right under me as it was inside my backpack, which was under my chair the entire class.

At the time, I blamed the 2 trouble makers in front of me since at points I was facing the back of the class for a group activity. I found out years later it was the Mormon next to me I trusted, who I can only assume expertly unzipped my bag and slipped it out while nobody was paying attention. I never got that PSP back, and I ended up buying another one later, both with my own money... It was a brutal reality check that taught me a handful of lessons in life

I'm aiming for $1,000,000 by 50 to retire actually. I've got no clue if I'll pull it off, but this site seems to think so: https://networthify.com/calculator/earlyretirement

I'll honestly probably be dead by 70 anyways due to health reasons so even if I don't hit that goal, I'm probably just going to retire anyways and yolo it

First of all, I'm a millennial lol.

Second of all, you're preaching to the choir, and I agree on all points. I was simply trying to give some helpful advice in the form of a way to play the game that is becoming successful in America right now as I was literally just describing how I did things because it worked for me, and it's worked for others as well.

I was poor for many years as an adult. I went to college, and I got into computer science. After 5 years in my career, I just (barely) got to a 6 figure salary at my last review. I've been putting as much as possible into retirement and living very modestly because I know there likely won't be any social security for me so I took matters into my own hands.

Oh and for the record, my company doesn't match inflation, and I'm still a renter and will probably never be able to afford a home.
