America doesn't care. Andrew Jackson was on the wrong side of history and he's on our currency.

We seem to accept genocide quite readily if there's profit behind it. If there's not, we'll just ignore it.

I mean, it's good but "E for Everyone" is also available.

Oh no, they're putting denuvo on it? Man I loved the first game. I don't think they even had anything close to a problem with piracy because it was a huge hit. Like, it not only did amazing for Warhorse Studios, but it made a huge tourism jump for the region.

That's a bummer, and as much as I want to support KC:D II, I can't support denuvo.

That might be one of the scariest things he's said so far. I'll send this to my friend and relatives that support Trump but aren't actually citizens (crazy I know, but I'm in Oklahoma where fox news is on every public tv). Maybe this will snap some of them out of it finally.

They didn't think you were homeless. They correctly saw you struggle to buy a 10 dollar pizza with change from your pockets.

Most people will use a 20 or a card.

Yeah, you didn't "need" the help, but that helped you nonetheless.

Also I know this isn't OP so my breath is wasted, but people need to realize you don't need to be homeless to be in a rough spot. You can be working poor.

A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.

The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.

If you just found out your kid is a leftie, most of the world we can adapt to. But something that will make their school years easier, as well as their crafting ability, is left handed scissors. Once I got my pair, I found it was individually easier to cut things out. Try it - the typical pair is molded for a right hand, so it cuts into your thumb over extended use. But the worst part is the way the blades connect - you can't see what you're cutting! You have to hold your left hand far over your body's right side, or crane your neck over your hand to see what you're cutting. Otherwise, you just guess and it looks sloppy.

Keyboards, pianos, drums, doors, manual cars, all of this can be overcome. But scissors? Lefties need leftie scissors. I'm still using my pair 30 years later and they're worth their weight in gold.

Not at all! Most of it goes to excessive force payoffs. And buying surplus military equipment like tanks.

It's two fold:

  1. it's good proof of "user interaction with site" to sell to advertisers

  2. they can use that to load more ads or refresh current ones after it loads more text, and you're already bought in on the story so you're likely going to keep going.

I suspect a third reason is to try adding other news stories at the end in case the current one didn't grab your attention, but that doesn't seem to be as consistent amongst sites that I've seen do this. I run ad blockers though, so I don't really see the sites the way they expect me to.

Or you steal someone's car and drive it to work the day after. Is it yours? Do you pay for the tag and get a title? Or do you awkwardly give it back?

Wow, can you imagine trying to fix dry eyes by using eye drops, only to have to get them surgically removed to prevent your death? Going blind over eye drops? 4 deaths even...

You see those videos of workers in India doing barefoot work making pots and small metal parts. Turns out that's everywhere, including your eye drops.

I'm sure the companies responsible won't have any consequences, but I wish they would. That's so incredibly reckless and who knows what else we use every day that's manufactured this carelessly.

Really, the fact that they still have working adblockers makes it faster. Sitting through a minute of ads is way more noticable than a second or two of delay.

And the reason they work still is because they empower the users to use it how they want, instead of how corporate can monetize them.

I inherited my grandfather's WWII compass, and had it sitting around for a long time on a shelf. I recently got a Geiger counter, and find that it's radioactive. Around 10 microsieverts/hr. Apparently they used radium paint to make them glow in the dark. I can't just throw it away, but I don't want it potentially causing a danger to others in the room. Is there some sort of lead lined box I can put it in, or some kind of prevention I can do? Is there anyone experienced with this sort of thing that can offer some advice?

Speed almost doesn't matter for me, since Chrome allows ads and Firefox actually lets me use adblockers and privacy badger. The time wasted on ads are way larger than the time spent loading a page.
