I had it pop up a couple times in Firefox, but it went away when I enabled the Annoyances filter in ublock settings. The videos just work now, no problem

Coding and algorithms. That's how you know it's good

A true archivist. I applaud you

It was a pretty big remaster of the game, makes sense that it has some staying power

I think they were accounting for the percentage in the post; 1.43 billion * .63 = about 900 million people's waste without any treatment.

Sorry for unclear wording, I meant that you obviously need some level of power output to move, but you need different levels of power output to keep moving at any given speed, hence the gears. What I meant by 'power to fuel consumption' was that while you theoretically could go at a high speed using a low gear up to a point, that would be very inefficient. I'm not actually an engineer, though I pretend to be one at university.

Good thing I'm not an educator!

Cannot use logic to convince someone whose argument isn't logical in the first place

Efficiency. Combustion engines have a shockingly narrow acceptable power to fuel consumption zone

You know what they say, funerals are for the living. Some people want a specific place to grieve.

No way your immune system would be completely destroyed in just 3 years not getting sick

Gel is basically powder with water mixed in, therefore you are basically buying water for them to premix your detergent with at the factory. You end up paying more for a container of detergent that doesn't last as long, is heavier, and is more expensive. Powder forever!

What do you mean? It's my God given right to store my assault rifle inside my plastic capsule inside my candy! Who are you to tell me not to?

On the other hand, at least something is better than nothing

I always see people with bad experiences with them and guess that I have to consider myself lucky. I travel with them pretty regularly (no choice) and there has only been one incident, the flight was overbooked. The attendants at the airport immediately informed me, handed me a check for $1800 CAD, and I was on another plane 2 hours later. The ticket was no more than $250 mind you. This happened last year.

I'm sure, and it's great for the usability of the products, I'm just always wary about updates changing settings in the background and not necessarily informing the user. Google is pulling this same thing with their 'ad personalization' tracking nonsense. Most users won't know how to or won't bother to opt out of something that was automatically turned on in the background, even if they would prefer it to be off if they had been asked.

Some people especially with older devices might not like the constant telemetry in the background...

Absolutely, this is a personal thing. I've found myself not buying things that are incompatible with the machine as much as possible so I don't really have that issue

Absolutely, though if you have to run it twice anyway you don't have to cram it full on the first go no matter what. But I've seen some truly horrific stuff, plates and bowls just stacked on top of each other, no way for the water to get in all the crevices

I agree, and it's a terrible thing that has happened. Basically the result is that all reviews are either 4 or 5 stars if at all positive, and 1 star if anything went wrong, making the whole system useless.

In context, it can be assumed that the original comment wasn't negative about the game while giving it 7.5/10, so I don't think they meant it as a low score

It did a couple web searches to try to find the profile first (this was Bing). Don't think that helped it very much though
