I'm also one of his constituents and originally had the same grumbles about the $v$ election. I know someone who worked with him in his old life as a nepobaby at the family company, however, so I asked them about him.

They said that he recognized his lack of real experience and perspective and made up for it by surrounding himself with a diverse group of people. He would invite those insights, absorb them, and give ample credit to those around him.

Watching him as governor, he appears to still do the same thing. He is passionate about things as if he had lived experience because he surrounds himself with those that do, amplifying their fight with his unfairly-acquired power.

Many modern games have a separate physics frame rate to avoid that issue, but tend to always have the physics process a fixed amount of 'time' regardless of how long the frame takes so that the physics is more consistent. If that lags, the whole game will pretty much play in slow motion.

Nobody can make a successful browser that is simpler. The moment a user hits a website that no longer works, they are going back to their old browser.

All these new features exist because websites replaced every single program most people used. Web browser now have to be capable of doing anything pretty well. It's not some grand conspiracy to take over the internet, it's providing the features devs want so they can deliver the things they want in the modern multiplatform no-install world.

My first thought too.

They likely only have a dialogue script for masculine and feminine, which swaps both player and npc dialogue. They'd need four scripts and cutscenes timings to make both player voices work with both NPC pronoun uses.

Cops bungled the case, leaving prosecutors with a risky trial. The prosecutors gave the murderer a plea deal of ten years probation instead of prison.

The murderer had spent three years in jail awaiting trial.

My wife wanted to go mining for her birthday. We're sitting in a hotel five hours from home right now after a lovely Day swinging picks and with a bucket of rock to show for it.

What a title/summary. Better one:

Feds attempt to engage in obstruction of justice, throw a fit when judge heads them off.

They are charging her for stopping them from commiting a crime.

Or being able to get nothing as diet/zero because they never replace the non-hfcs BIBs.

Half of restaurants seem to forget what backup is when they get these machines.

When talking about attack drones, historically that has described an unmanned bomber that has significant range and strike capability. These are a strategic asset, operated far back from the front and making big-picture attacks. They replace cruise missiles and manned bombers.

The war in Ukraine has led to the first major deployment of tactical drones. These are relatively short range and operated in the field. Some are simply hobby drones rigged up to be able to drop a grenade, while others are flown straight into a target and explode. This article is talking about the latter, which is basically a replacement for anti-tank missiles.

When compared against a missile you have to have line of sight to guide to the target, a 20km range is a huge step up.

I had a guy contact me about buying a Minecraft account a few months ago. It was an account held by a highschool friend of mine with a three-letter username that is a word, making it incredibly unique.

He identified the now-unmonitored email address associated with it, found that email in leaked logs from a forum, then searched for other hits from the same IP in the same time range. That forum access was from my house, so he found my email associated with it elsewhere.

He successfully identified another friend of ours at the same time. All from a single dynamic IP fifteen years ago.

Wikipedia blocks edits from pretty much all public VPNs and is very harsh with IP bans in general. They do allow edits without accounts though, so they show the IP so that an accountless user can be identified when making multiple edits or posting on the talk page. Hashing it would probably make more sense.
