Typically, white meat is actually more expensive because it's in higher demand. There's more breast meat on a typical chicken than there is leg meat, mainly because we've bred chickens to have much larger breast than they did historically, because most people prefer white meat.

Now I'm not arguing that dark meat is better or worse, both parts serve different purposes in a dish. Texture is an important factor to consider, and chicken legs are full of connective tissues and cartilage that can be quite off-putting to many people. For a broth, or just eating from a roast chicken, it makes sense to go with the legs, but for something where texture or the size of the pieces matters more, the breast is usually preferable. You don't make Chicken Kiev with legs, for example.

I'm kind of shocked that it's only been 18 years since the last 486 chip was made. It was launched in 1989 and discontinued in 2008, while the original Pentium was launched in 1993 and discontinued in 1999. Hell, the Pentium 4 was discontinued in 2007.

You don't have to do it now, but at some point you won't be allowed to delay it anymore.

Pobody's nerfect

The article says that he was the first person to free solo the Dawn Wall, which is false. He wasn't the first to climb it, and he didn't free solo it either.

Tommy Caldwell was the first person to climb it, and nobody has free soloed it, and the likelihood of anyone ever doing that is basically zero.

He's barely above the last bolt in the picture. There's a quickdraw sticking out by his lower heel.

Also the forces involved in a climbing fall are partly mitigated by the stretch of the rope, and the belayer will soften the catch by jumping as the climber falls. The length of a fall has little impact on the forces experienced by the climber or the gear in a typical climbing fall.

Yeah, it's there, just hard to see

It's hard to see from the shrunken picture, but he has a rope to catch him if he falls. The likelihood of an injury is very low.

That was already supposed to be the case, they just put it clearly into words. They've always been allowed to revoke permission to remain, they just used to follow the requirement before.

(Which from my perspective is very silly — what’s the difference between them making a kajillion dollars in the fall and them making a kajillion dollars in May?)

This "article" was written by a moron who doesn't seem to know anything about the stock market. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising for Bloomberg.

Particularly when you're filthy rich and you can afford to pay expensive lawyers to delay trials, stretch things out, and avoid consequences.

I think those glitches work because some menu interactions slow the game down intentionally (for like half a second) and players have found ways of abusing the slowdown's interaction with game physics. So I don't think framerates are relevant to that, but I may be wrong about that.

Doom Eternal had similar glitches where the weapon choice menu slows time down to let you make a selection, and you can abuse that slowdown by spamming the jump button to launch yourself really high. I believe speed runners bind the mouse wheel to jump so they can super launch themselves.

The article mentions another display with a 33 Hz refresh rate. But be aware that there would be significant ghosting even just scrolling a page of text, more so than even a measly 33 Hz refresh rate would lead you to believe.

Their Nashville chicken burger is decent.

There's also no more morphine, heroine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, or any other opioids in America. It was all replaced with fentanyl, which has all been seized. The war on drugs is officially won.

I will check when I get a chance. Nothing jumped out at me after, but I didn't think to check in the moment.

Comfort food is supposed to be simple and comforting. Nobody's comfort food is osso buco on a bed of garlic and chive orzo with white wine braised pearl onions.

outside your gaming time.

I know all those words, but they don't make sense in that order

Yes, I tried with VLC as well. It works as intended there. Video pauses, and the PC suspends or shuts down normally.

Firefox seems to be the only thing that prevents it, and only if there's a video loaded. Doesn't have to be the active window, and it doesn't matter which display it's on. If there's a video playing or paused, it prevents suspend and shutdown.

That's not a fix though, it's a hoop to jump through every time. Regardless of OS, it's incorrect behavior.
