I've seen a lot of people carrying all that in their phone case, where they can conveniently lose every single scrap of personal information at once.

For the last 50 years or so

Multiply that by 3 and you're nearly correct. The first "quantitative prediction of global warming due to a hypothetical doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide" was published in 1896 by Svante Arrhenius, building on research from John Tyndall as far back as 1859. Source: Wikipedia, but with appropriate citations to the works in question.

Fuck yeah, good for Mike. That sort of thing still works sometimes, but you have to be really, really good at what you do. But getting a good portfolio in the right hands at the right time is really all it takes.

I, a mere mortal, have no idea what the fuck this meme is talking about and I am slightly afraid. This sounds like Deep Math™️

Older flash bulbs weren't really made for long uptime. If you were using your flashlight for under a minute looking for something it was fine but any longer than that and it would start getting really hot. Once manufacturers caught on that everyone was using apps for it (and potentially damaging their phone in the process due to heat) we got better bulbs and baked in controls for it.

It is mediocre at best. However it remains one of my favorite games of all time. Weird how that goes.

I mean, ha ha funny joke, but realistically, yes. Someone with no money and no friends or family with money is a waste to advertise to. You fly under the radar by virtue of being a statistically bad investment. You'll still get hit with all the same shotgun-style advertisement that the rest of us do, but you're unlikely to find yourself being a priority for targeted advertisement. It's a little bit of a silver lining to an unhappy situation.

Yuzu wasn't completely free; that's sort of what got them into hot water in the first place and the reason why Nintendo hasn't also sued SNES9X into the dirt. Yuzu had a patreon with certain releases gated behind it. That's what got them in trouble.

I hate that I love that story, but HPMOR is actually genuinely really good.

It's bad form to name a place after another place.

Kicks New York, New Hampshire, and New Mexico under the rug

The fact that they are, factually, standard on every other manufacturer's vehicles, like you want to insist they aren't. You're clearly refusing to understand the words being communicated to you so, good luck in life I guess, this conversation is done.

Damn, that IS a killer hat. Almost tempted to get one myself. But having no other actual affiliation with BD, it would make things super, super awkward once someone actually recognizes the logo.
