Janeway: What makes you think she is a Borg?

Seven: Well, she turned me into a drone!

Janeway: A drone?

Seven: I got better.

They took out the “report spam” button. Presumably that’s because Google’s whole business model in 2024 is delivering spam in all its various forms.

People are weird about gasoline. They’ll drive around looking for the cheapest option, to save 2 cents/gallon. Even with a huge tank, that’s less than 50 cents of total savings.

So a grocery store can offer, say, 10¢ savings, and it only actually costs them like $1.50-$2.00 per customer. That’s way less than other sales that are harder to advertise and don’t bring in the same amount of business.

Ultimately the psychological benefit for the shopper is more than the financial cost to the store. The others societal costs don’t come in to that equation.

It was going to be the 513, but we got an overflow error instead.

Backing this up with some history:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_version_history

In March 2011, Mozilla presented plans to switch to a faster 16-week development cycle, similar to Google Chrome.

Firefox 1.0 was in 2004, and it took until March 2011 to get to version 4.0. Then by the end of 2011, they were on version 9.

Yeah, apparently I get to be mildly infuriated at nvidia for changing shit, mildly infuriated at myself for letting it, and also still a little mildly infuriated at playground games for having an ambiguous message that never clued me into what was really happening. Trifecta!

All custom settings get overwritten and set to Ultra or Extreme on everything.

It may not be making any sort of attempt to “optimize” settings based on my hardware, but that’s probably even worse. I turned stuff down to get the framerate that works for me. Just let me keep my setting the way they were before.

I don’t even know whether it’s Forza changing the settings or Nvidia. But somebody’s doing it wrong.

Only 3 options? Does Brawny think it’s illegal to grab 3/4 of a sheet?

Not sure why NA is being singled out here. Bottles are largely the same shape (with a few functional differences, see below) no matter where they come from.

The round shape is mostly a historical artifact from early designs that were hand-blown. A hexagonal (bestagons!) shape would pack better in an infinitely large container, but since most shipping crates are rectangular, there will be wasted space either way, and round is far easier and cheaper to mass-produce. Also, as a carbonated beverage, sharper corners could create stress points and exploding bottles.

Toppling over could potentially be reduced with a wider base, but fitting in the hand is a hugely important factor for any drinking container. There are larger-based bottles, but they also need more specialized packaging and storage space. By using bottles that are similar size to aluminum cans, lots of infrastructure can be dual-purpose (I’m thinking of things like can/bottle storage in your refrigerator, for example).

Double the volume of what? Glass bottles have to be thicker than other materials, so to get the same volume as a can with the same size base, it has to be taller.

If you want to do a lot more reading, here’s a few sources I borrowed from:

Regarding the functional design features referenced above:

https://www.hillebrandgori.com/media/publication/beer-bottle-sizes-and-their-surprising-history

Those ‘shoulders’ we keep mentioning remain in modern beer bottle design mainly for aesthetic reasons. Their original function was to provide a handy place for the yeast residue and dregs to collect, so that these didn’t pour out into the glass with the beer. Nowadays, most beer is filtered, so this design feature is no longer needed. Unless you’re bottling a yeast beer like a Belgian beer, of course.

Bans often rely on the obscenity exception to the 1st Amendment:

SCOTUS has never given a clear, well-defined, repeatable test to say exactly what “obscenity” even means, so local jurisdictions are free to push the envelope.

If that sounds like a pile of bullshit waiting to be exploited, yes, and that’s exactly why we’re seeing this happening.

But his supporters don’t do any such thing as “thinking.”

It’s been a while since I watched TNG, but I don’t remember this at all.

The loser of a knife fight dies in the street. The winner dies in the ambulance.

You can have any drink you want, as long as it’s a bloodwine.

Santa himself has been described as a “jolly old elf.”

I’m no lore expert, but it makes me wonder if the original Santa (human) passed the title to one of his former underlings. The Dread Pirate Roberts of the North Pole, perhaps.
