right, you fan disabile them using their unique software which you have to install for every component, signing away your life (cough cough Disney) in the process

guilty! should have read it before commenting blindly

for everyone else reading,

a dysfunctional ABCC11 gene is also connected to drier, less goopy earwax. “So less of that means less body odor, and also translates to dry earwax.”

hold on what's the connection between the two? what type of earwax is present in people with less body odor?

TL:DR cloudflare made a new recaptcha which does some complex math and other stuff on your browser, which done once has no noticable effect but if someone were to scrape websites at an absurd speed it slows everything down significantly.

this is not only cool because you don't have to manually solve the captcha, but also because it allows for low-speed scraping to be feasible, with tools like flaresolverr

and you'd be right. If you are sure about it, and you know how it works, just make it yourself, so that you don't need to put anyone else in danger of getting sued.

The reason hardware stores don't sell them is that people WILL use them in a dangerous way, and they don't want to be held responsible.

usually college networks have a Mac address whitelist, so you need to turn off Mac spoofing in order to connect

how would you shorten it? MM/DD feels wrong, and DD/MM makes no sense if you wanted it to be YYYY/MM/DD

even if I've seen so many videos about paramotors, I still sometimes call them chutes out of habit, or out of necessity since noone else is going to understand

in AC, which is what home electricity uses, the polarity is constantly switching, from + , then - , then + , and so on, 50 or 60 times a second depending on where you live. This means that, unlike batteries, it's symmetrical, and you can just splice the cables and attach two male plugs together and they will work regardless, even if you somehow attach the neutral to live and live to neutral, in fact in many countries you can actually buy just the plug without the cable and then you can assemble it yourself in whatever way you please.

of course tho, this should be done only if you have a decent understanding of electricity, and it should not be attempted by someone who lacks those competences, hence why hardware stores "gatekeep" male to male plugs. If you really need one and are sure you understand how they work, you can probably make one yourself.

yuuupp

every time VX gets mentioned i inevitably end up in a Wikipedia rabbit hole, it's now been one and a half hours

stop! you're scaring the americans with that unwashed egg!

it's not rage bait, I've seen it happen plenty of times

it's better (if you have a death wish)

time to see if countries have learned their lesson or if we'll have another fucked up generation

I'm just sad we aren't at calling it "formerly facebook" instead of meta

I don't know, looks like it's just normal glasses without protection on the side
