I was going to mention DOS, but I looked it up in the hopes of not sounding like an idiot and it turns out the history is more complicated than I knew.

I thought shin splints were pretty universal. TIL.

Is that … Not the case?

I maintain that you should have been watching horror movies the whole time.

And hoodie!

I said in another thread about this, he looks like an older Tom Scott.

That sounds fun.

For the first sentence or two, I thought you were talking about the unrelated book.

Thank you for the new media!

That indeed is a functional method, but I’m not sure I’d call it more accessible. Unless you mean that more people probably own a pot than an appropriate microwave safe container, in which case, fair enough.

A while ago there was a reddit post about how you don’t need bagged popcorn to pop popcorn. You don’t even need any of them there fancy air poppers. All you need is a glass container and the popcorn itself. And it’s true!

The only part that presented any trouble was finding a safe container with a safe lid - during the process of popping, an individual kernel is super warm, so if it hits a lid that can’t tolerate that it can melt pits into the lid.

Other than that (and making sure you don’t add too much popcorn, that stuff expands like crazy), just dump the kernels into your container, cover it up (don’t forget to vent as appropriate) and then microwave as you would the bagged stuff. Add your seasonings, shake up the container, and enjoy.

I’ve been curious about this recently after seeing all the reviews for MindsEye. I’d never heard of it until a few days ago, yet all the reviewers I pay attention to are talking about how it’s the worst game ever, while the footage they show makes it look fine. I haven’t played it, so I can’t disagree with them, but the vitriol for something that appears to be completely average is surprising.

I was refraining from posting this, so I’m very glad someone else did. Back when we were masked up, I always appreciated the Maryland flag masks the most and made sure to compliment their wearers.

Thank you for your assistance.

To be fair, I am shocked… Not to see a Pikachu face in the comments.

Doesn’t Firefox have reader mode with dark mode built in? Don’t get me wrong, I find that functionality indispensable, but I didn’t think it required a plugin.

That’s even more concerning!

Yeah, agreed.

Wireless for me also. Actually pretty sure I’ve never used wired.

I was recently very interested to learn that, if I run a VPN on my phone, Auto immediately calls out the VPN as a problem and refuses to connect to my car until it’s disconnected.

Per Mozilla, they’re already getting that from the car manufacturers.

I had to type that alt text thrice because I was using my client’s “generate image markdown” GUI and had problems. The first time I got it perfect, but put it in the URL field and didn’t notice until I’d closed the browser tab (I’m on mobile and browse exclusively in focus mode, so the usual easy recovery wasn’t an option).

Then I tried again and got it right, but I’m still adjusting to FUTO keyboard and it just randomly closed the dialogue. If that was my fault, I have no idea what I did to inspire the action.

Finally I (think I) got it right on the third try, but the story of the odyssey amuses me more than the original meme itself.
