Tell that to Mario lol

Spiral, no contest

I’m not sure how legal it is for CA to stop paying taxes. At the very least, it’s an attempt to attack where it hurts, which is in the money.

I have like a 70% success rate with this trick

In Python, self is not a keyword, it’s a conventional variable name. You can replace all instances of “self” with “this” and your code will work the same.

No.

The “all browsers are iOS reskin” thing is browsers must use WebKit for JavaScript and rendering, which are the two biggest parts of a browser. WebKit is a library of code distributed as part of the iOS SDK. However, Safari adds more on top of WebKit, including its plugin API. Installing plugins into iOS Safari wont affect anything just using WebKit because they aren’t using the Safari plugins code.

In theory Firefox could implement its own plugins system for iOS, but it would more limited than the normal Firefox plugin system for other devices, and also they might run into policy issues with Apple (this policy about 3rd party browsers is part of a broader policy against side loading, which has in the past prevented things like emulators and programming apps into the App Store. They have recently started loosening up on their anti-side loading policies, however).

If you use reusable bags, bottles, and other containers, that’s way more sustainable than any single use product.

But using paper is still better than plastic, and yes, trees can be and are sustainably farmed in many parts of the world.

I have seen some shifts away from plastic. For example, Apple seems to have removed almost all if not all plastic from their packaging, replacing it with paper.

I’ve started seeing a lot of restaurants with blatant AI slop pictures of food on their menus or signs.

I wonder if the questions were phrased like “none/some/many/most/all” and not percentages?

I don’t know how else a significant sample size would end up with an average guess that 1/3 of the US population lives in NYC.

The chlorine tablets taste like ass IMO getting a good filter is the way to go.

The most common cause of symptoms like in OP’s story are multicellular organisms. While still microscopic, they are plenty large enough to get caught in a filter. The filters are usually good enough to catch bacteria too.

They clog and you do need to rinse them, and running (clean) water in the opposite direction is a common way to clean them.

They do eventually degrade or clog to the point of being unable to function and then you have to replace them. Usually they fail such that it gets slower to filter the water rather than letting dirty water through, although that’s not always the case. One time I had a cracked filter, and the symptom was the filtering went suspiciously quickly. I think I drank some only partially filtered water before I figured it out (didn’t get sick though).

Get a water filter that’s designed for camping. The two varieties I’ve seen are either a hand pump or using gravity to force the water through a ceramic filter. Try to pick water that is relatively clean looking (not obviously murky, and it helps to pick flowing water).

Best tasting water I’ve ever had and you won’t get giardia (the most common cause of diarrhea symptoms described above).

Sea of Thieves is the game for you

Honestly I think this is what using Linux is like in general.

I’ve also fought with ALSA. I can’t get my Bluetooth mouse to work correctly, but have a workaround in that it works fine when connected wired. Plugins I’ve added for the the UI stop working when the computer wakes from sleep. Bad package updates made the command line borderline unusable until I found a way to package the broken package.

But ultimately, it’s still usable even if it’s frustrating. And I can always have something to debug because I can see and visual output is coded in at the lowest levels.

Having to do that sort of debugging just to get some usable output sounds awful.

The environmental toll doesn’t have to be that bad. You can get decent results from single high-end gaming GPU.

I’ve played the first one briefly. I don’t remember being able to play other characters. I remember the worst part being the combat system was an absolute slog. The later Witcher games don’t have great combat systems either, but it’s at least improved with each generation.

I might go back and play the older witchers eventually but I still haven’t finished Witcher 3 despite like 200 hours in it.

Who tf makes things due at noon

Bad idea because

1. Jobs hiring will complain about the gaps in your resume
2. when you are too old to work anymore you will have nothing
