Dropping off enough fuel to run the hospital for half an hour? Who cares? It was a PR stunt that would have made no difference. 300 liters is a pittance, an insult, a photo op, a lie to make suckers who can't conceptualize volume think they made an effort to help. 300 liters is less than 80 gallons. This would be enough diesel to run a generator for one RV at full capacity for about 3 days, not a hospital with a ton of lights and computers, a ventilation system and a bunch of kids on life support. They sent enough fuel for one family to go glamping for a weekend.

A dagger does d4 damage. A dagger is not a small knife, it's like 8 inches of blade. Compared to that, a human bite should be like a d2 on the high side.

You should be able to hit the power button while on a call and turn off the display, then put it to your ear. Much less effort than the people around you have to make to keep from slapping you

This link is absolute cancer on mobile, unusable

If you're on a VPN, it reloads about every minute, meaning you can't even scroll through your game library, or read the summary or watch a video for a game you're considering buying. Their shoddy, clueless coding literally makes it impossible to shop in their store without disconnecting from my VPN, which is not happening.

Distillation is not the only way to remove water. You can distill ethanol up to 95.5% and then remove the rest of the water by chemical drying

Democrats are frequently still racist, obedience-loving sacks of shit, they're just the lesser of two evils in a system where the greater of two evils is a pack of utterly cynical greed-as-a-virtue actual fascists.

Do you know any Linux users that aren't IT professionals? If I know any, it's because they're the children of IT professionals

No, not at all. Games used to have demos and trial versions, like basically all games, but game studios used to have to actually finish making a game before they shipped it. Trying before you bought was the business model of the whole industry. Now so many games are shipped in such bad condition they wouldn't dare let you try it first. Trying before you buy is just prudent, as long as you actually buy the ones you like enough to play through.

My 3070 apparently can't run it in low detail at the native resolution of my monitor. Weak.

"No, don't [do that]" is not a double negative, it's just two independent negatives in a row, they don't affect each other. A double negative would be like "don't not do that" which will mean "do not fail to do that" to most people.

I still have a G1 in a drawer, every couple years I find it again and spend a few minutes flipping the screen open and shut. What a fun mechanism.

Guess what Edge and Chrome do if you make Firefox the default browser? They all harass you if you run them when they aren't the default. At least Firefox respects the "don't bother me about this again" checkbox

It wasn't flight-worthy, it just hadn't crashed yet. If your jet stopped properly responding to controls and you had the opportunity to eject and probably not die rather than crash and almost certainly die, what do you think you would do? Also if it lost power, it would still fly for a bit because momentum and airfoils and physics and such, but not be transmitting its position because no power, which makes it kinda hard to track because like, y'know, stealth aircraft
