One of the worst things that the newer Windows versions did is get rid of that little view of defragmenting. It was much more interesting than watching a number slowly tick up.

Interesting. Always thought chewing gum was more like when you made "plastic" out of the caesin in milk.

Doesn't the Congress and Election College have final say? The rest of it could be a sham, but what they say goes.

I see. What would have been a better fit in that case?

I think so? The metal clicky lighters you used to see in James Bond films and the like.

Is the only place to buy those posh lighters only at smokos or the internet?

Was thinking of getting one as a gift, but since I don't smoke, no idea where the proper place to get one is.

More or less. It varies a bit, but it extends a tiny bit along the shoulders and down the spine.

The brown fat is basically a metabolic heater, so insulating it will help warm things up.

Urine probably also helps flush things out too, so you don't need to deal with as many infections from bacteria who also want a share of the nutrient slime gametes get.

And more proof is always useful. Science runs on it.

Equally confusing is the hen of the woods, which is not a hen, nor, in fact, is it an animal at all.

Who did the retraction is also important. An author voluntarily retracting their own paper is different from the journal retracting the paper.

Socialism as in Norway, not Stalin.

It should be pointed out that Norway is not socialist. It's a social democracy/capitalist country.

XKCD is literally stick figures, for example, and has more or less remained stick figures since its inception.

Sort of? Someone was editing his face to be more round and babylike. This was one of them.

On the bright side, the camera/Switch doesn't use a proprietary connector, so you can plug a lot of cameras into the thing, and it will generally work.

It's not like the DS days, where if you wanted to plug a microphone in in addition to your headphones, they had a special connector for the mic part.

Exactly, scientists have been saying this forever but evil oversized bipedal crocs sell.

It honestly feels like a marketing issue more than anything. A non-zero amount of people think modern dinosaurs are "boring" because they don't look like Jurassic Park.

Compared to big fluffy unicorn pigeons that eat each other.

Like people would happily be swooped by a magpie if given the chance.

A knee-high raptor who will happily leap up and bite chunks off of larger prey whilst they're still alive and kicking seems like it would retain much of the terror.

Eve if he suddenly no longer had influence over Tesla, he's ruined their reputation enough that others have had time to catch up and make better vehicles.

They can demand it, but you can't prove a negative.

Didn't Google replace the normal Google Assistant with Gemini on newer phones?
