How do you know I’m in the minority when I didn’t say how I use my laptop? I don’t get it. I do use it to its potential, and there’s no logo on the back. It’s in a case.

Also not overpriced with the base model, which is what I have.

A more apt analogy would be to use the truck bed size. Horsepower is more akin to the CPU speed.

Most people don’t fill their truck bed just like most people don’t fill their RAM. I’ve had no issues with my family users who just do typical light laptop tasks on 8GB RAM. I think the memory upgrades need to be much, much cheaper, but 8GB works absolutely fine IME. I would like 16GB but it’d be a waste for the other users in my household.

Thailand isn't really famous for it's ciswomen prostitutes...

Uhh, what? Yes it is.

How much are they? A couple hundred dollars. Not a rich fuck problem. Lemme ask you, how many rich people have been in the news dead from cosmetic procedures? How about many people of limited income?

Funny how the news stories are about regular people going to bootleg clinics and not rich people going to proper doctors and paying for good cosmetic treatments.

People who aren’t rich get cosmetic procedures every day. In fact, those are the people who will be getting the sketchy cheap procedures done.

Tennessee reported that its four cases were linked to injections given in "non-medical settings such as homes or cosmetic spas." Investigators found that the injections were of "products with unclear origin" and that information collected so far suggests the products were counterfeit.

The amount of niche info that would have been found searchable forum posts in years prior, that has now gotten sucked up into Discord where it can’t be found, fucking blows.

Used? Still uses. Outlook is how all the US military handles email, by extension I’d assume that’s how all .gov handles unclassified email.

I have way too much fun Shazam-ing birds with the Merlin Bird ID app. Constantly listening for new calls now, it’s like Pokémon hunting IRL.

Those are all valid concerns but still not “the most brutal method of execution the US has ever employed” IMO. That’s what I take issue with. If you look at edge cases for hanging, firing squad, electric chair etc. you’ll find far more brutal executions due to complications.

For most people it’s a quick death. If nitrogen or helium asphyxiation wasn’t available, I’d go for lethal injection.

Lethal injection is quite possibly the most brutal method of execution the US has ever employed.

Citation needed.

I’m absolutely putting electric chair and execution chamber above it.

The paralytic is the first thing to potentially kill you as you stop breathing. Then the barbiturates also stop you breathing. Then the potassium stops your heart.

None of this would qualify as agonizing in comparison to getting electrocuted or breathing poisonous gas. The worst pain seems to be would be related to getting venous access or potential infiltration from a bad stick. A paralytic and barbiturates are not causing pain.

I don’t agree with the death penalty, but lethal injection isn’t the worst we’ve used.

What do you mean by correlate, could you provide an example?

I like to make wishes at 11:11 and 12:34 but they “won’t come true” if I look at the clock again on the same time (eg. see it’s 11:11, make a wish, can’t look until 11:12 at least).

That’s pretty fucking funny “big brother” was associated with porn rather than privacy.

I point my camera at the sun all the time, It’s not harming the sensor even without a shield. I don’t get it. You don’t have to be paranoid about having the sun in frame. Maybe with a telephoto lens, or a telescope, or if you’ve got a tripod set up and the sensor is exposed for a long time. Regular shots? Go ahead and take a picture of the sun or eclipse.

I’m not saying it’s good, I’m saying it’s easy. It is not hard for normal consumers to setup.

I can't imagine being a normal consumer and wanting to set them up.

It’s quite simple on iOS. IIRC, when logging into the paypal website you get a prompt asking if you’d like to use passkeys. Accept that, then you get a keychain prompt asking if you’d like to make/use a passkey. Click continue and pass FaceID authentication, then you’re in with a passkey. For future logins you click the login with passkey and it faceIDs you in. It’s easy.

Fair enough, you make a point with that. It serves a function there, but I still contend the tate in orientate is superfluous.

It is not uncommon for words in English to have variants which are slightly longer than they need to be, and our collective response to these words is somewhat capricious; some of them make people Very Angry (irregardless, conversate, preventative), while others (commentator) seem to elicit little more than a shrug.

Yeah, I take issue with all of these, including commentator, despite it being commonly used. Just say commenter. They’re commenting. I don’t care for all these extra taters.

Still doesn’t make sense to me. There’s no need for the “tate”. She was disoriented, not properly oriented. Do you say “orientate” for the verb, or “orient”?
