Genuinely the single worst messaging app I’ve ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.

Yeah, the double pack of Kirkland ibuprofen will typically last an entire family a year or more

It helps marginally better than placebo for me. Hence why Americans use it for fairly trivial aches and pains.

I can’t imagine it would do anything for pain I’d consider ‘serious’.

If it’s all a truly random selection, which I believe it was, then half of all people would cease to exist, leaving half of their gut biomes behind, still alive (albeit briefly). I guess the end result would be the snapped people leaving behind a mist of gross intestinal bacteria which would itself mostly die out without a host. Meaning much more than half of all gut biome bacteria would be killed as a result.

Of course it would make more sense to consider a person and their gut flora as one being, but the joke is about how stupid the initial conception of Thanos’ plan is, not creating an academically rigorous argument.

I don’t necessarily have to update my Arch distribution whenever there are new updates available

Clearly, op agrees

I’ve met a guy who no shit said this to me as if it was a justification for Israel’s actions in Gaza.

I think Microsoft tried that, actually

The reason they don’t want you using your own WiFi access point is probably because dorms are prone to over congestion if everyone sets up their own WiFi network.

If you wanted to fuck with them-and you don’t mind spending money-then you could set up your WiFi and get internet via mobile carrier or starlink, so that you never actually have to agree to their terms. Then when/if someone comes around to bitch at you you can watch them slowly come to the conclusion that they’ve got nothing on you.

Otherwise your options are to follow the rules to the letter and live without vr streaming, or accept that you might get in trouble. Some WiFi routers can be configured to not advertise their network; annoying because you’ll have to manually enter the network information on every device, but it might keep you from getting caught.

As for connecting multiple devices without paying; there’s probably some creative ways to tunnel all your traffic through a single device to get around that. Could still get you in trouble if you’re caught.

If you’re doing anything that could get you in trouble with the school make sure you save the email in which they told you using your own router is allowed.

TIL Tesla has a factory (factories?) In Germany. My mistake.

Well they’re made here so it stands to reason they’d be a bit cheaper. No clue about the corolla tho

Already run it on my laptop, and used to dual boot. I’m just trying let proton mature as much as possible before migrating my desktop for good.

Well, I was gonna run win10 until its service life ends next year. I guess MS want to speed up the timeline a little.

Arch here I come.

And their customers are unhappy with the catastrophic service failure. Cry me a river.

I’ll stop using YouTube altogether before I disable my ad blocker. My time is simply more valuable than whatever video I’m watching.

For what it’s worth, they’d never have caught him anyway

This is really cool. I do wonder how often “third-party rights or security concerns” will be deemed to apply, though.

I mean, there is always the option of putting down YouTube and going outside, or picking up a hobby or something.

Gross, I know, having to live in the stone ages, but there’s always another option.

For software and devices running locally, sure. Much of what MS does these days is cloud based where the bulk of the electricity is being used in a data center somewhere and the customer isn’t (directly) paying for it.

So a toggleable vasectomy.

Trouble is you need a several days (maybe a week or more) and/or a few ejaculations to actually be sterile after a vasectomy… So this isn’t the kind of thing that you can flip on in the moment and you’re safe.

No clue where you live, but in the southeast US the mosquitoes aren’t nearly as bad in winter, in my experience.
