This is how I got my PS4 for $3.50/pound

Oof they also did him dirty killing him when he at his happiest moment at the carnival. So sad

Yup this whole season has been a bit WTF. I feel like I smoked 10 cigars.

The Bloomberg article that 9to5mac links to says the data is from Antenna which looks like a measurement and analytics company

Some tweaker was huffing compressed air cans, but the kind that have the bittering agent to discourage people from huffing. The stuff got into the air and was very unpleasant for everyone. I had to get off at the next stop and wait for another train, I couldn’t breathe.

How does the true size work on a 2D plane? Is it because we’re ignoring connecting landmasses that this gives a better approximation than a full globe 2D map?

How??

This might be a simple goof, but a lot of the layout in The Shining (intentionally) doesn’t make any sense. There’s some great analysis of the insane architecture of the hotel.

Also can make a good case for the imperial troops who don’t blow up the escape pod with C-3P0 and R2-D2 because “there are no life forms”. That small oversight resulted in the downfall of the empire.

Seems to me Libs of TikTok was being promoted heavily prior to Lorenz coverage of it in 2022. From the lgbtqnation article:

In August 2021, right-leaning media figure Joe Rogan began promoting Libs of TikTok on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, causing Raichik’s Twitter account to gain a massive number of new followers.

Not really sure how her reporting of the group brought them into the mainstream when one of the biggest podcasters is promoting the group to their followers.

And at night

They are requiring Plex Pass for all remote sessions, even ones which don’t go through plex servers, where your client connects to your remote plex server directly. IMO, this should not require Plex Pass if the remote stream is not going through Plex’s server.

Also since the April 2025 update where they required the payment, the “new experience” apps have been terrible, and people have been side loading the old apps because they retain core functionality. Maybe there was a technical reason to release new apps to enforce the Plex Pass requirements, but it has been a terrible experience being told to pay money and then getting a worse experience, compared to what was free a year ago.

There’s no audio in this video. From the pinned comment

Hey guys. I bet you are wondering why there is no audio - A-HA blocked the video worldwide yesterday 5-2-22. The only way I could keep this video public is by muting the the Take On Me part which really sucks. This was just a fun, goofy meme from the beginning and I don’t see what they have to gain from blocking it. If they end up unblocking it, I will for sure restore the audio.

Before Youtube allowed long video uploads and before video Podcasts were a thing, I remember some early tech creators were creating long form videos around 2004-2005 and they would distribute episodes via BitTorrent, since it was most cost effective for them.

Also a remake of a 1960’s classic in the Mad Max universe: It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad Max World.

Right, I’m aware of tax companies doing this. I’m not sure if PII deletion services are doing the same, but they do benefit by having weak data protection laws. What I meant is it wouldn’t surprise me if data deletion companies are also lobbying against what’s best for Americans, the same way tax prep companies do.

This is classic sunk cost fallacy logic. It’s because they had the enormous cost of production sunk, they resisted the fallacy and sinking more money into it since the returns were not favorable.
