Nice, it's so satisfying to look through a fresh pair of unscratched lenses. If you want to save money next time you can always hang on to your prescription and purchase the next pair online with the same script. There are lots of sites that offer this service, they're all good. Just remember to get your eyes checked as often as optometrists recommend, or thereabouts.
Elon collecting signatures from demographics least likely to vote, or starlink being used in many districts as the network uplink for insecure machines
Are sources available on these claims, particularly the first one specifically it being the least likely voter demographic? I keep seeing this stuff talked about but also hand-waving that it's been debunked and I've been too wrapped up with life to investigate. I'm not hopeful that credible and clear evidence will show up enough to get widespread attention about vote hacking but I wouldn't be opposed to hearing more come out either.
Damn, now that's stranger than fiction. Quite the read
Wow, Everything2.com, I hadn't thought of Wikipedia's weird cousin for over a decade. Great to hear it's still up, I used to browse through it a lot in the early 00s, some funny stuff in there.
This is probably going to affect retail workers as much if not more than office workers.
I'm thinking I went overboard blocking users the past few months, I should probably empty my block list and start from scratch. Good to hear it's not a bug though!
Edit: did that, fixed the issue.

Fyi schizophrenia is distinct and very different from multiple personality disorder. Don't feel bad though I've heard people with psych degrees using it similarly.
Pairing socks, and subsequently finding them paired when you need socks is severely underrated.
Aww, Australia has one, why cant we?

This thing has been reminding me it exists every few years for the past 2 decades.
This is perhaps the most digestible introduction to Jones' "goblin" worldbuilding, presented as an indie folk song. Spoiler: its xenophobia/racism
A lot of it now goes back to the Iraq war, when France refused to join the Coalition of the Willing and invade. Nearly constant derision of the French in the media for a decade will do that to people.
It's almost like national borders are fake and peoples just blend into each other
That's what it is, isn't it. Retirement in their design department, new hires and this is a Millenial message marketing to Gen Zers (and Alphas too, automotive preference starts early)
I think they want people to focus on the "agua" and the j and r are just little accents on it like its word art rather than a logo. Like, I literally picture the marketing weirdos at the meeting going off like this.
What are good/respectable options these for a remote hosted Vanilla Minecraft server these days?
I was going to go with wisehosting.com after Mumbo Jumbo promoted them with an ad in one of his videos but apparently they're in Estonia and my bank doesnt do business with that country.
I've never had a server in MC before, primarily playing solo but have been going on my friend's realm the past couple months and really enjoying it. My complaint mainly is that realms limits render distance to like 16 or so and I'd like to crank it up to 32 as long as client side lag isn't too bad, and I've been told servers don't have the same cap on render distance as realms. We do like to build largeish amateur xp farms and regular redstone contraptions but shouldn't need something huge that can run Minecraft-in-Minecraft or anything like that.
So yeah, nothing fancy, no mods. Maybe 10 total players most we've ever had online at once was 5. What options are popular and known, inexpensive and reasonably reliable? Figured I'd ask on here rather than troll through old redd*t threads looking for people promoting server hosting. Thanks!
Oasis is an AI generated Minecraft... experience? I wouldn't call it a game but you actually can sort of play it.
Regardless of how you feel about AI, a lot of people have been posting videos about this so you might be interested in seeing it.
Worked on desktop on Chrome, some phones might run it but mine didn't.
What 250 songs were on the George W Bush ipod playlist that were leaked in 2005?
I've read ten articles and tried a couple different searches but have only found a dozen or so songs listed anywhere online. Is the entire 250 song playlist recorded somewhere?
It's apparently impossible to order something from the Belgian Amazon site to have it shipped to the US. Is this true, and is it true for every non-US Amazon site?
I found this aftershave I'd been looking for on Belgian Amazon (amazon.com.be) - they dont sell the same kind in the US anymore but it's apparently still available overseas. I was going to see about having some shipped to me in the US and couldn't figure out any way to do so. I know the US Amazon site has this AmazonGlobal program where people from dozens of countries can order from the US site and have it shipped to them but apparently the non-US sites dont have a similar service available. Am I missing something?
How far back can we accurately plot the value of US stocks?
Like, if I wanted to see the price fluctuations over time of Wright Company of Orville and Wilbur Wright fame is there a website I could view it on? A 10 minute google didnt provide me any answers so I'm curious if anyone has looked into things like this or if I'll need to contact the Library of Congress to see something over 100 years old because it isn't digitized? Or does that data not exist any more for some reason? Did it not even get recorded?
Feral megacats taking over Astralia and New Zeland, can Antartica be next?? (FIXED youtube link)
Feral fuckin' megacats
YouTube update breaks fullscreen on my Android 9 phone
Breaking things that worked flawlessly for years, nice. Hopefully fixed soon. It's not just me is it?
Screen rotates when I click the fullscreen button but video doesn't fill the screen, rotates back to vertical after a second. I was able to get it to work properly by turning on rotate screen in the pull down menu and then turning the phone. It still remained in the squashed format shown above but when I pull the video down and then tap on the minimized video it pops out into full screen finally. So it's still usable but the 5 step fix is pretty frustrating.
No I haven't filed a bug report, youtube is a grownup company and do it's own rudimentary beta testing. Sad to see unforced errors like this more and more common in longstanding industry standard apps.
American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) passes House, headed to Senate. Overshadowed by TikTok ban but arguably much more important.
Proposed American Privacy Rights Act of 2024 seeks to establish national consumer data privacy rights, govern Artificial Intelligence and automated decision-making, impose additional obligations on high-impact social media companies and large data holders, supersede state privacy laws, and allow pri...
