Mattress stores let you lay down on them.

In an endlessly scrolling implementation, you’d just scroll up.

Without endless scrolling, it could behave as follows:

1. Moving back to page 1 takes the user to where they were on page 1 when they navigated away, with the same items visible
2. When automatically fetching new posts, either expand the page (pushing nothing off) or make it visually clear that pages will be pushed to the next page. Or just don’t fetch new posts automatically, and only reset the first / last post of a page if the user clicks Refresh.

Are there any mods that add voiceovers to dialog?

My home server’s case is the Fractal Design Meshify 2 and it has 14 3.5”/2.5” slots in the “Storage” configuration. It supports 6 in the default case configuration. There are also a couple 2.5” slots. I recommend the case and I’m considering getting another for my gaming PC, since I want it to support more HDDs than its current case can handle.

There are a couple variants of the Meshify 2. The RGB seems identical storage capacity-wise. The XL variant has 4 more 3.5”/2.5” slots when in the Storage configuration (18 total). The smaller variants don’t have enough slots for your needs.

In the Storage configuration, the slots in the storage bay (8 for regular, 12 for XL) are individually accessible and a single one can be pulled at a time if you just pull out the cables and unscrew a single screw - not quite a hot swap, but for me close enough. For an occasional troubleshooting or expansion of storage, this is more than convenient enough.

That all said, this is a traditional form factor tower, not something that would fit in a server rack.

I agree with you, generally - so many people need to internalize “It’s okay to not like things, but don’t be a jerk about the things you don’t like.”

With Buckley in particular, much of the criticism is like that, but I think that due to particular things he’s allegedly done - the above sexual assault of a child, for one; the more verifiable (not that I’ve verified them, but I’m sure other people have) claims about him banning people from his own forums for various reasons, like providing (allegedly) constructive criticism of his comics; his generally being rude to many of his fans and critics, etc. - that almost everyone is less likely to defend someone from criticism they’d otherwise speak up about when that person has already earned their ire in some other way. As a result it kinda snowballs and you get pages like that one with almost nobody willing to speak in his defense.

This is the first I’ve heard of that, and after searching the most I found was “This was alleged on 4chan but that’s it,” without even a link to the archived 4chan conversation. It’s kinda hard to take a complaint seriously when 4chan is the primary source. Can you share anything more substantive?

Basically every complaint about him that I’ve read is summarized at http://www.badwebcomicswiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Ctrl%2BAlt%2BDel, or on (choose your reddit mirror): r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3v3uau/what_exactly_did_tim_buckley_do_besides_make_a/ and tbh that should be enough on its own for most people to stop reading his webcomics

From a medical perspective, “biological sex” is a lot more complicated than the genitalia you had at birth. Sex hormones (androgens, estrogens, progestogens) have a huge impact on your body, your emotions, and your health. If you’ve been undergoing hormone therapy for a year or more, your biological sex cannot be accurately described as your assigned gender at birth.

It’s actually misleading to use the same set of terms to describe biological sex as we do for gender. In a medical setting you might think of a person’s biological sex as describing a suite of variables that impact that person and their care, e.g., a person should target a value of 100 for this metric; for this biological sex, adjust the target value by -35 to +5 at these age ranges; for this biological sex, adjust by these numbers.

Many of those target values change after a person begins hormone therapy, so it would likely be medically beneficial to list their gender and potentially harmful to list the gender associated with the genitals they had at birth. In cases where this isn’t the case, if the person’s health care provider believes the risk is high, they can provide verbiage that addresses the specific risk in language another health care provider (including an EMT) would understand.

If anything should be written into law on the topic, it should be to empower HCPs and their staff when dealing with government and ubiquitous corporate systems (like insurance companies), not to make blanket decisions that would be overall harmful to the people impacted.

XR to 15 is more like 5 cycles, so I think this upgrade is going to be a huge improvement for you. I upgraded from it after a mere two (though to the 12 Pro and not the 12) and the difference was very noticeable, especially in the display and camera, but also just in how much smoother and snappier everything got.

I believe they actually deleted that clause back in April. Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20230914135511/https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/16hnibp/unity_silently_removed_their_github_repo_to_track/?rdt=38154

How would running a podcast help the crew members whose experience is purely related to the visual side?

If you used scientific notation or commas (or periods, depending on region) to format those numbers for human consumption, that would also make it easier.

It’s not because the commenters are politically conservative or have commonly held views; it’s because they’re part of organized hate groups.

What sort of a nuanced discussion are you envisioning here, and are you envisioning that in response to bigoted comments or in an attempt to drown those comments out?

The Supreme Court ordered Jammu and Kashmir to pay the families of the 12 dead children 300,000 rupees ($3,668) each in compensation. But again, it did not rule on who was responsible or order help for those left disabled.

Is that how much a life is worth in India? No wonder they don’t take this seriously

If you mail it back, make sure they agree, in writing, to waive the $8.99 return fee and to cover your shipping costs. Keep all the records from shipping it. Then, if they don’t refund you in a timely manner, chargeback.

Alternatively, if you tried to return it in store and they refused to accept it, inform Gamestop that they’re in violation of their own return policy and ask whether they are able to give you a refund, mail you a replacement copy, or if they would prefer you to pursue compensation through your bank. If they don’t do either of the first two then that should be sufficient to justify a chargeback, too.

I recommend email for your communications with them since that creates a paper trail. Their customer support email is care@gamestop.com

Good luck!

UBlock Origin is probably the main one.

I’m confused about why they aren’t calling them “3rd gen”

Per https://solink.com/resources/top-types-employee-theft/ it’s basically “Skimming”:

This popular POS employee theft scam occurs when an employee charges a customer full price but takes a little cash out of the total for themselves. This may result in telltale cash register imbalances, or, it can be more complex, like using coupon codes on a customer’s purchase while still charging them full price and then pocketing the difference.

Your implementation sounds pretty close to the coupon version.

Are your bosses ever going to notice? Unlikely. And if they did they’d probably fire you at worst, rather than press charges.

Now, that said, if your manager or employee handbook or any other source of authority at your job says it’s okay, then it is (excepting, of course, if they explicitly tell you it isn’t) - but that’s because it’s a benefit your employer has given you rather than one you’ve taken.

Did you know they made a movie out of it?

A D&D player won the lottery and decided to spend his winnings in an attempt to “bring Jack Chick's epic 1984 graphic novel / tract to film.” He got the rights from Jack Chick, ran a KickStarter (the lottery winnings were, after all, a mere $1000), and then he partnered with Zombie Orpheus Entertainment. They made a short film based off it and screened it at Gen Con back in 2014: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Dungeons_(film)

Fun fact - it was not a parody. They took themselves seriously the whole time and stayed true to the source material. Worth a watch, IMO.

This smells of a case where they are looking to broaden their reach through precedence.

What are you even talking about? I’ve never heard of such thing as “warrant precedence.” There’s case law precedence, and a ruling on a case can create precedence that impacts the legality of warrants. If anything, they’re actively trying to prevent such legal precedent by not informing their targets, who would have been the best suited to file suit against them.

It’s not overblown, they are modifying people’s systems without their knowledge or consent

I’m about as upset about this as I was about the guy who hacked into people’s routers to close known, commonly exploited vulnerabilities. Which is to say, not at all.

Why are you upset about this? Do you think those people were harmed in some way by the FBI’s actions?

Having botnet malware on your computer harms you. It also harms other people - everyone who is impacted by the person controlling the botnet. It means your private files are likely visible to criminals who have no qualms about exploiting them for personal gain.

Removing the malware, therefore, helps you.

This is like walking into a stranger’s house uninvited through their unlocked front door, removing the extension power cord + ethernet cable that their neighbor had plugged into their outlet and peripheral, and then leaving. (Side note - in many jurisdictions, walking into a house uninvited through an unlocked or open door isn’t a crime.)

Whether their intent was good or not is irrelevant.

Nonsense.

Their intent was good. The end result was good. Their means were not excessive, given their goal.

Could they have used this exercise as an excuse to hurt someone? Sure. Did they? Did the tool they were using malfunction and brick a nice old lady's home desktop PC? Did someone get charged with a crime because of evidence collected outside the scope of the warrant of this case? Not as far as we know or have any reason to believe.

That doesn’t mean they didn’t, but you fix that with oversight, not by refusing to allow the government to combat botnets.

And if you’re concerned about the FBI breaking into your computer through the use of one of these vulnerabilities, then secure your computer. It’s irresponsible not to.

It isn’t retroactive in the sense that it applies to installs before that date, but rather in the sense that it applies to games made with Unity before the announcement.
