buy in bulk

Within limits. Buying a 20kg bag of potatoes may be less per unit than a 5kg one, but if half of it spoils before it gets used then the 5kg one is better. Similarly, bulk chips may be cheaper to buy, but eating a family size bag of chips by yourself because you haven't been taught to portion control is worse than buying pre-portioned snack size bags. And then there's also the FOMO marketing tricks: "two for one discount, limited time offer!" Do you really need two? Would you have bought even one, if it hadn't been "on sale"?

Google. It's their recaptcha service doing that. The QR code validation also gets rejected if you're using a privacy oriented mobile OS like Graphene.

and the only realistic way to achieve that is to make the people using their service reconsider.

So what exactly will naming the site achieve? If someone wants to boycott recaptcha (which I'm 100% onboard with, btw) they'll just not comply with the captcha and leave the site when they encounter it. On the other hand, someone who would not otherwise visit the site cannot reduce traffic to the site by direct action. Telling their friends "don't use that site, it uses recaptcha" is no more effective than telling them "don't use any site that requires you to do QR recaptchas."

Recaptcha is a service offered by Google. It doesn't matter on which site the user encountered the QR code verification request - the problem is with Google (the company.)

The only belief that's been shattered mildly bruised is that he is in the in-group, and that by association his wife is too. But it's a safe bet that he still believes himself to be in the in-group.

Cobalt 60 has a half life of 5.27 years. Assuming that a language lost to time is at least 500 years old, the rod should be fairly safe to handle. Heck, even after only 100 years less than 0.01% of the original amount of radioactive material would be left.

But that aside - One of the items that can be found in the video game series Avernum is Uranium bars, which give you a nice unhealthy glow :)

At second 24, he grabs the documents from her hand and throws them in the back. IANAL, but from what I understand this act will be interpreted as "he accepted the papers." The plaintiffs probably started celebrating when watching this video.

That's a beach chair umbrella, it's a straight rod. He's just pinching it with his buttcheeks, like that picture of Tarzan swinging from a vine while carrying Jane in both arms.

Don't they also count international airports as "the border?" Which changes that number to something like 99.9% of the population.

13/21 here. Mostly got hung up on several "this was valid in earlier RFC, and later removed" kind of situations. There are several where I picked the correct answer, but where I know many websites that won't accept it as valid, and that's not even the more esoteric ones.

My career is already impacted by others using it, whether I use it or not. Those who rely heavily on LLMs produce worse and larger code, and those relying on it heavily are not the best in the first place. It's turning -1x developers into -10x developers on account of them causing additional cognitive load on everyone else.

As for me? I don't have FOMO. If I'm right and it's a bubble that will collapse, then I'll be better suited to weather it. If I'm wrong and LLMs are all they're cracked up to be, then I will be able to get up to speed quickly.
