Couple of spoilers in that article, admittedly the game has been around for a while but thought I’d mention it in case you’re trying to avoid them.

The bot compresses an article about how AI are good at compression… how deep does this go?

Interesting, I was taught you used a rolling boil for pasta so it wouldn’t stick together. Maybe there’s a halfway where it rolls for a few minutes then gets turned down as the pieces soften and become vulnerable to tearing.

“No, stupid questions!”

It could be used for improving products, but really it’ll be DRM for plants. That’s what could make money so that’s why money was spent.

I guess you assume it would allow user submissions to reduce costs? If it was curated or first party content only I can’t see how that would happen. But I’m sure the profits are worth spreading and enabling csam.

Obviously this is not competitive, because the mainstream has decided the cheapest route is worth the consequences. Unless there’s regulation I don’t see it changing.

I don’t play Armored Core, so I don’t really know what this means, but I must commend you for a very well formatted and detailed comment!

I think I got it on my third attempt. Though I haven’t actually finished it yet! Only 2/3 in and then something shiny distracted me - I’ll pick it up again soon. People described it as a soulslike, so after Elden Ring clicked for me I decided I would try the funny bug game again. Glad I did!

Hollow Knight, if you’re not afraid of bugs.

There is a difference between Zeh bra and Zee bra, I say it to rhyme with meh bruh. Maybe that’s why they don’t seem very impressive animals.

More like 40p now, thanks decades of Tory “leadership”!

I’ve heard this described as an island switch (making your home an island, cut off from the rest of the grid). I don’t think it’s appropriate for renting though, you’d surely need to make permanent alterations to the house’s electrical circuits.

You probably can’t get anything that properly powers your house because that would need to connect to the grid, but there are small solar arrays you can get for stuff like camping or boats which could probably power some devices. Might have to be via a battery as I suspect the output is variable.

NSFG - not safe for grandparents. I think fake news fits in there just as well as mild nudity and triggers.

This is No Stupid Questions, right? Just as a thought exercise, perhaps?

I think it looks good! Perhaps not amazing but it doesn’t stand out - just looks like a regular dude haircut. You can also let it grow a little and see at which point you start being unhappy with the length.

At least take it shorter. I get gaps where the fringe doesn’t quite cover the receding hairline, but they’re less noticeable when it’s short. For me that’s about an inch. A longer fringe like yours seems like it’s a statement, so if you don’t like it you probably don’t like the statement it’s making to others either!

Explains all the bandages I guess

I cannot vouch for it, but this is their explanation: https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/FAQ#does-adnauseams-clicking-put-me-at-risk-for-malicious-ads-or-ransomware

Does AdNauseam’s clicking put me at risk for malicious Ads or ransomware?

Absolutely not. AdNauseam simulates clicks on Ads by issuing an AJAX request to the adserver in a background process. This request is made without opening any additional windows or pages on your computer. The text-only request is safely discarded by AdNauseam before it has a chance to execute in the browser (no DOM is constructed and no code is ever allowed to run). Further, all cookies from AdNauseam’s visits are automatically blocked before they reach the browser’s local storage.
