Well done. They fixed a very simple basic component that was working perfectly fine 17 years ago and that they broke on purpose.

A "crazy fast" start menu is a base line feature. It should have never been anything else than crazy fast. It's like claiming that Mercedes finally managed to get all four wheels on their car to spin the same way.

It was a thing of the time. In the 80s and 90s and likely long before that too, it was quite a big thing in media and society that emotions were bad and logic was good. Think Spock or Data. A computer was seen as perfectly logical, impartial, incorruptible, because it didn't have illogical emotions.

You can see this kind of reasoning today too with e.g. Albania instituting an LLM as a government minister, because it would be incorruptible, thus stop corruption. (Guess what was used to facilitate massive amounts of corruption.)

Lucas followed that line of thinking in the original trilogy. Yoda is logical, not emotional. He is a Spock-type figure. Very intelligent, almost all-knowing. He warns Luke not to follow his heart, but instead to follow logic, and he's right. Following his heart is a mistake that cost Luke his hand and his friends almost their lives. His character development is that he learns to follow logic.

When the prequels were made, Lucas wasn't the young guy high on Star Trek ideology anymore. He learned that emotion was important and pure logic wasn't the right thing. But he also wasn't free of that logic either, so we got the prequels, where both following logic without any emotion was bad, but emotion without logic and restraint too.

There is more than one child in America. Some can't afford healthy food, so they become obese. Some cannot afford food, so they starve.

In fact, the theory that more than one person exists explains quite a lot of apparent contradictions like "People dislike Apple, but people also keep using iPhones". Well, some people dislike Apple, others keep using iPhones.

So is the issue that he used manipulative language, or that he used AI to generate manipulative language? Something tells me that the actual issue is the type of language used, not where it originated from.

Are all kids obese?

16% of children are below the poverty line. But even someone just above the poverty line might not be able to afford healthy food.

19.7% of children are obese.

These numbers are awfully close, don't you think?

Wie sich die Prämisse ändert, wenn der Titel ein paar andere Worte verwendet.

Das Gute an der SB-Kasse ist, dass die niemand mag und sie deswegen immer frei ist.

Tbh, to me nonsense negative reviews are a good sign. They don't influence my opinion about the product ("I'm not looking for burgers so I don't care that this guy was disappointed that there were no burgers"), but they show me that the company doesn't force the deletion of bad reviews.

I've had it a few times before that e.g. I went to a doctor with perfect 5-star-reviews, only to find out that they suck and they sue anyone who leaves negative reviews.

If I see perfect 5-stars on something, that's when I get really sceptical. I'd never go to a doctor, a restaurant or a craftsman with perfect 5-star score.

I got lost and wandered into the world's creepiest cemetery, where the headstones just had names and star ratings. Freaked me out. When I got home I tried to leave the cemetery a bad review on Yelp, but as my hand hovered over the 'one star' button I felt this distant chill ...

There's always a relevant xkcd.

Yeah, but then you don't have to draw it before first use.

The openwrt docs reference this post: forum.openwrt.org/t/so-you-have-500mbps-1gbps-fiber-and-need-a-router-read-this-first/90305

They talk about a router from 2009 not being able to handle CPU-only SQM on a gigabit internet connection.

If you have a gigabit internet connection you don't need SQM.

How sad for them. I'm sure the kids who are now not getting their aids treatment because DOGE employees cancelled USAID didn't feel abandoned.

I also love this part:

Earlier this month, game publishing trade association Video Games Europe said the initiative's proposals "would curtail developer choice"

Well, yes, that's the point of pretty much any regulation about anything. Curtailing the choice of people abusing the system.

The good thing is that coffee withdrawals are over quite quickly and don't have long-term effects.

But getting peer pressured into an addiction by one's mom of all people is ironic.

Tbh, this is just a massive stack of misguidedness.

First, look at what the original law does:

• OS needs to know the age.
• OS itself doesn't do anything with the age
• OS needs to provide the age to apps and services asking for it
• Apps and services need to block content based on the age provided with the OS
• If the OS doesn't provide an age, apps and services have to block as if the user was a toddler

Removing the requirement for the OS to provide an age doesn't change anything at all, because someone running an OS that doesn't provide an age will just be blocked everywhere. That's not a solution, that's a joke to appease idiots who don't know what the law does.

This is just as misguided as the backlash against systemd who added an age field to the user account to allow people to be still able to access age-restricted content.

The actually relevant part that people should be combatting is the requirement for apps and services to do age verification using the OS-provided age. The OS age field doesn't matter.

The other day when asking about the sex ratio of chickens, it told me that fertilized eggs turn into male chickens while unfertilized eggs become female chickens.

Tbh, this is not quite as dumb as it sounds. Tampons weigh nothing and if there's no way to resupply, it's not quite as dumb to take more than you need. What if, for example, there's a series defect on these things and a large portion of them are defective?

In fact, when they asked her said it's excessive, to which they told her they wanted to be on the safe side, so she said to cut it in half and bring 50pcs (which is still excessive for most periods, but on the safe side).

In fact, in the same mission they also brought jelly beans, which were entirely irrelevant to the mission, because Reagan insisted on his favourite snack to go to orbit. They were likely heavier than 100 tampons and also much less necessary up there.
