Well, yes, very clearly it’s a “man on screen said it” situation, but it’s not like that’s new.

People who repeated “ground control to {insert name}” to get the attention of someone whose mind was elsewhere didn’t believe they were actually addressing an astronaut. It’s an idiom born of the current cultural zeitgeist.

It’s also possible that audio recording being a thing that exists will slow changes in language as well.

Same. Didn’t even realise they were different images until after I read the text.

Reboot did similar things in the 90s with direct mentions of “BS&P” (broadcast standards and practices) in multiple episodes.

The Sun still only illuminates part of the disk at a time. It doesn’t go below the disk at night, it’s still above the disk just too far away to see, so you get different times of day in different parts of the world.

Yes, this just raises more questions. Yes they have answers for them. None of them are good and very few of them are even internally consistent, let alone hold up to any scrutiny.

C# also has verbatim strings, in which you can just put a literal newline.

string foo = @"This string 
has a line break!";

Generally speaking it’s considered bad practice for a GM to call for rolls that literally no one in the party can succeed at, but as with anything in tabletop roleplaying there is nuance.

There could be a narrative reason for the player to not know just how difficult something is and you don’t want to give it away by just telling the players they can’t succeed. If the most capable member of the party rolls a 20 and fails then the “reward” is the narrative of the attempt and learning what you’re up against.

Or maybe someone in the party could succeed but for whatever reason the child-prodigy wizard with a strength of 8 wants to try lifting the portcullis. It wouldn’t make any sense for them to actually do it.

It’s the same as any other non-liquid asset. Sure, you could argue that the value dropping is only a loss if you sell during the dip, but you’re still better off if you can sell before it happens.

By odd coincidence you just named the most recent two games that I purchased.

I’ll come up the apples and have a butchers, but if you’re telling porkies then there’s gonna be some argy bargy.

… I’m struggling to understand what you mean by “wider”. As in the physical size? It is slightly larger, but even so why is that a factor?

Yes

My mistake then, it’s more vulnerable then I initially thought. I also don’t think it’s secure even if that weren’t true, just that it’s not worse than single factor passwords (which you also shouldn’t use of security is a concern).

If the fact that a 128-bit value when sent to your server can retrieve a single piece of media or user info then I have real bad news about what you can do with a typically much shorter password.

Is it ideal that you can retrieve streams or user info from Jellyfin if you know the ID of the entity you’re looking for? No, obviously not. But you need to authenticate to get those IDs in the first place, and there are fewer bits of entropy in most people’s passwords than there are in UUIDs.

Being able to get streams unauthenticated by guessing the correct UUID is arguably still better security than using passwords without 2FA.

Backwards as in half of foster kids, not half of homeless people.

My biggest problem with that “monstrosity” is that it’s ortholinear.

You imply that such a thing being “optimal” is absurd, but if you had infinite usable desk space then what, exactly, would be the argument against it? If space is not a consideration then what does it matter if you don’t use every key?

Lots of people like smaller keyboards, and that’s perfectly fine. I get it as an aesthetic choice, and for many people it may not impact their daily use at all. But you will not convince me that removing the option of having additional keys for binding is a non-zero cost, even if they’re not currently being used.

For what it’s worth, I never used anything like that monstrosity, but I was quite happy with my G15 for the time that I had it which had 18 additional keys, plus media control, over a typical full size.

Full-size is objectively superior, everything else is a mitigation for sub-optimal circumstances.

If you have reduced desk space and need to conserve your keyboard size to allow more room for a mouse then absolutely, pick as small a keyboard as you’re comfortable with to get sufficient mousing space.

Anything beyond that is subjective personal preference, which again I have no qualms with, but calling it better without further qualification is going to invite incredulity.

Georgia courts have held that once a baby is ‘born alive and has had an independent and separate existence from its mother’ then what happens to the child (injury or death) will be subject to criminal prosecution,” Warren said.

…then why isn’t that what the law says? Basically admits completely by accident that a fetus isn’t a person. But you don’t get to control people that way.

You don’t hear much about good tenants or landlords for two reasons.

One is of course the simple matter that people who are content tend to be quieter. Same reason that it’s easier to find complaints about most products.

The other is reduced exposure. Good tenants will generally stay in one place longer and good landlords will retain tenants for longer periods as well. So you end up with just fewer people to even potentially say anything about them, good or ill.

PDF to JPEG

Don’t most pdf viewers have an export to image option?

AVC to MP4

Do you actually have files with an .avc extension? AVC is a codec that can be used in many different container formats, including MP4. Where did these files come from?

OPUS to MP3

I actually agree that most audio conversion tools are needlessly awkward. Audacity will convert these just fine, though doesn’t really do bulk conversion. Foobar2000 will do it in bulk if you’re on windows.
