Denuvo works on a subscription basis. Sooner or later, they're going to decide it's not worth paying for anymore and the game will be available to pirate. Waiting a year is nothing.

I would argue that we still want them to know about pseudoscience, but also know enough about everything else to understand how the pseudoscience is wrong.

Well, that explains the name "hamburger helper". I've been wondering what they had in common with hamburgers besides the ground beef.

I can confirm that this works. Outside temperatures are right around freezing right now. Indoors, we're still hovering at around 23C and we have yet to turn on any heating. I wouldn't call this unethical though. Homes are built this way by design so that you share the heating.

muh gainz!

Don is special. Don't question it.

Depends on what you mean by "free speech". If you mean absolute free speech in the sense that all voices are present and heard, then no, because it blocks out the hateful voices. But you can't have that while allowing for hate speech either because hate speech silences the voices of its target. So no such thing can exist. If you want a platform with "free speech", you need to decide who gets the freedom and how much of it. There has to be a limit somewhere, whether it's explicitly set or not.

This sounds like a good way to keep track of time.

Snow is simultaneously a particle and a wave. What you're seeing is the destructive interference resulting from its wave-like behaviour.

I would say that the pain and follow-up soreness from working hard at the gym feels amazing in a non-sexual way.

If you cook, you cook for a purpose, you don’t throw food away just because you’ve cooked for the sake of cooking, you eat it, or serve it to someone else to eat. In the end it’s a chore fulfilled still.

There's overlap, but not necessarily. If I'm cooking for fun, I'll cook things that are tasty and that I (or whoever I'm cooking for) would enjoy eating. I won't be paying attention to the nutritional content of the food. But if I'm cooking for sustenance, then nutritional value comes first before enjoyment of the process or the food. Sometimes, you have to do both for one meal.

Living in Canada. Very few of the gardens in my neighbourhood have grass. It's not as uncommon as you think.

What are these Manjaro controversies?

That only accounts for a small portion of parental contribution and is easily avoidable by an early inheritance.

Ads don't work on me CMV

Though it's probably because advertisers never promote things I actually want.

This isn't without its own problems. If you fail to renew your domain and someone else picks it up, they now have access to all your accounts. At least with a popular provider like Gmail, they don't allow emails to be reused, and if they ever discontinue email services and drop the gmail.com domain, everyone will know about it and know that password reset requests should not be sent to these emails.

People who don't think questions on nostupidquestions should be criticized for being stupid.

We don't know how rational or irrational this is. Kitchen fires do happen. If you don't know how to prevent or handle them, then it's a very rational fear to have.

Having kids will do that to you

Does that work when you also want to be in control of those companies? All the big CEOs I can think of directly own shares in their own companies.
