The human body is truly amazing.

I actually had a whole paragraph about junctions being a limit and then deleted it since i didn't feel like it added to my point. I also was going to add a point about how much space the lanes take up and that even if more lanes added capacity, it didn't necessarily mean they were the right option.

It does increase the capacity of roads. Two lanes holds twice as many cars as one lane. Four lanes hold twice as many cars as two lanes.

You're probably thinking of induced demand, but that's related to traffic congestion and not capacity. More lanes ultimately means more cars are getting places, but any individual car will see that congestion is just as bad as it used to be.

I don't know about the other two, but I know one of them is SimAnt.

Daytime photos show that this is the building next to the church. The church itself is still standing, though one wall was destroyed.

That paragraph is part of the new terms and conditions document they released.

Oh, I see the problem. You seem to have forgotten that you wrote:

Maybe don't buy Apple hardware?

I was responding to your point. You appeared to be arguing that this was a problem that could just be solved by just buying a different phone. I was saying that the people complaining are already the ones buying different phones.

I haven't said anything about the EU. There's no way the EU would address this, it's almost exclusively a US problem.

Well they aren't leaving you out because of the color of the text bubble. It's because having a phone that isn't an iPhone in the group causes it to fallback to using MMS instead of imessage. They lose a lot of the features that iPhone users love about imessage and the quality of shared images and video is much worse. The moment someone tries to share a video and everyone just gets a blurry smudge of pixels is the moment all the iPhone users get their own group together.

Most people complaining about imessage are people who bought Android devices. In places where imessage use is prevalent, people with iphones tend to leave their android owning friends out of group chats and complain about their text bubble color being green if they text an android phone.

The SEC is suing to get a court order to compel his testimony in an investigation. Assuming the court grants that order, which is likely, he will be forced to cooperate with the SEC or face the prospect of sitting in jail for contempt of court.

It might be worth throwing in something at the bottom of the page explaining why you struck it through.

I'm just saying that the 'IP addresses change' argument is something courts have been dealing with for decades at this point. It's a useless argument since ISPs keep track of who was assigned which IP at which time.

The user mentioned a blocklist, but I'm not able to find that list either. If we are going to accuse someone of maliciously pushing an agenda, I'd like a little more proof before jumping on the bandwagon.

Every piracy lawsuit deals with that question. They simply subpoena the ISP, asking who was given that IP address at the given time. The ISPs keep track of that and they will give you up in the face of a subpoena.

It's why people always make such a big deal about using a VPN that doesn't log. The idea is that if your VPN provider doesn't keep track of your activities, it can only respond to a subpoena with a "Sorry, we don't keep track" letter instead of selling you out.

The ads thing is because you probably have a different idea of what an ad is then they do. Usually when they are talking about ads, it's self-promotional stuff. Teams being built in, Onedrive asking to be setup, and especially Edge constantly begging you to give it a chance.

There's also that link to the Microsoft store for Candy Crush in the start menu of fresh installs of Windows 10. I imagine that's what kicked off the whole 'loaded with ads' thing. That's one anyone can agree on.

Bethesda support saying the Intel Arc doesn't meet the minimum requirements doesn't mean they don't actually mean to support it. It means that support looked at the product requirements and didn't see Intel Arc listed or that the person confused it with the integrated graphics chip.

The PS5 is the size of a small boat. The only way Nintendo can release a portable console that matches it would be if it came in a wheelbarrow.

Sad to see that we might have to wait until 2028 for a better looking Playstation console. I like that it's half of the height of the PS5, should make it easier to find a place for it.

It usually maximizes it Windows style as well. I feel like I've had more inconsistency in behavior from that (like it would sometimes just fill the width but not the height), but nothing I can reproduce right now.
