Reading through the documentation, SponsorBlock being baked in has nearly sold it for me. That said, I've been building up my history for years and am never shown anything outside of what I might enjoy watching. Is there a way to import that?

The timing just wasn't Reich.

Main land bridge from Africa to the rest of the world

Well, until the Suez canal.

Here's a link to the video on YouTube, for those who don't want to sign up for 243 sites tracking your activity.

But essentially, any human endeavour will have failures. The question is the extent, and this is presented as a one-sigma solution

This is just lazy journalism. Like, yes, it's statistically interesting how many people attended, but not of particular news value. If you're looking at the photos from across the country and thinking, "OK, but what's the precise number," the forest is being missed for the trees.

People seem to have fetishized the posited 3.5% figure where movements gain traction. When millions show up to demonstrate, rounding to the nearest hundred thousand isn't the story.

We're back to "I can do this myself."

I'm aware. I have two ex-wives.

New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul, called the arrest “bullshit” on social media and to reporters. She later said in a news conference that the charges against Lander had been dropped late on Tuesday afternoon.

If all of this weren't so serious, it would be interesting, just from a sociological perspective, to see the extent to which public officials using expletives in public-facing remarks has increased of late.

Doesn't an in-progress eruption mean the highest alert level has already been reached? Like, what else is it going to do? Erupt harder?

So, back in the day, you paid for a Windows license. An exorbitant amount unless you had a .edu email. You paid once, and they left you the fuck alone. No data/telemetry collection; MS had gotten its pound of flesh and was quite content to wait until a new version came out so you could either pay another license fee or just buy a new computer.

Now, the OS is functionally free because you are the product.

I picked up a mini PC a couple of years ago with Win11 Pro, 16GB of RAM and a 500GB SSD for $99. Only a few versions prior, a full license cost more than this whole machine, and some inflation happened in the interim.

If you have a pihole, it becomes immediately apparent just how often Windows is attempting to phone home. This is what's commonly referred to as "surveillance capitalism."

I'm going to guess you also use Facebook if any of this is a surprise to you.

Outside of election night, when pizza is de rigueur in a newsroom, pizza being ordered is also a reliable predictor of a huge news night ... all hands on deck, and you aren't going home for hours.

No Chinese spyware, just Google and the CIA.

Don't you measure your camera spex in mAh?

Abusers gonna abuse. I endured seven years of "you don't do what I say, and I can make your life hell." I can only imagine what she would have been capable of had I needed her for citizenship reasons.

But, seriously, Crystal Justice? That sounds nothing like a real name.

Always remember that any GOP accusation is actually admission of guilt.

This news broke last week.

No one wants to. This is just a suppression lever.

After years in Oregon and Washington, this whole thing of having to go to a polling place was weird. Also, even the secretary of state in Arizona mailed out voters' guides that we apparently need LWV to put out. Not that I'd trust Paxton with anything but a loaded gun in a locked room, but how we run elections here is pretty anachronistic.

Schell is the only politician I went after off campus. Locke was fucking useless, but Schell loved to fuck up at every chance he got.

And I ran the editorial board at Seattle's third-largest daily (bearing in mind the P-I was still printing), so I got to do it anonymously.

Know your audience. Just because you think something is a fit for this community does not make it so. And dismissive shit like this is not a fit for Beehaw.

You spammed, got called out for it, and now you're saying the problem isn't you, it's everyone else. That's the fascist playbook (or, at the very least, your ex's explanation for why everyone sucks).

.ml has different rules. You don't get to bring your litterbox here.

Can't be worse than Paul Schell.
