I can't be the only person noticing that somebody is posting a comic about mushrooms with the handle "stamets".

Vader has The Force, but Wolverine can recover from whatever injuries he gets. Vader has been removed from battle by serious wounds at least 3 times so far.

That's cool and all but they could've just made sure the regular-ass search indexer was consistently aware of the video transcripts.

Many times I've searched for a video I'd seen using a specific quote I remembered from the vid... And got nothing, and had to painstakingly find the video manually.

About half the country lives in the Windsor to Quebec city corridor, a region with population density of Spain.

Most of the northern wilderness is unoccupied. It makes no sense to say we can't have good passenger rail just because Victoria Island exists.

Same with toddler toys:

"It can go in the dishwasher, the washing machine, or the garbage".

Normally I'm all about "yes they should be paid" but in this case it's particularly ironic - modest ads used to be able to support newspapers. Now they need paywalls.

Title of article: internet is worse

QED.

Idunno, I like the reverse better:

Batman's nuts. Like everybody else in Gotham. He's pathologically obsessed with beating the crap out of criminals with his bare hands because he needs to emotionally. The fact that he's saving the world is incidental.

That actually makes his "no killing" rule make more sense. A person doing this for moral reasons would grapple with the continuous living trolley problem embodied by The Joker, and would likely eventually do what needs to be done. An otherwise-decent person feeding addiction to violence would draw a hard line in the sand that he will never ever cross no matter the cost. Which sounds more like Bats?

It also makes his choice of weapons make more sense -- tazers don't satisfy him the way his fists do.

Yes he might also do philanthropic things but that's not what drives him.

A hero driven by dark needs is way more interesting than a boring paragon of virtue.

It also gives his emotional divide from Nightwing a more coherent moral centre than just "Nightwing didn't like how Batman's mean".

This is a problem with the US news in general because it uses the words "raid" and "execute search warrant on" as synonyms, when the former conjures up images of guys in body-armor with carbines and the latter a couple of cops and a bunch of specialized investigators. Like, various layers of US government have "raided" many of Trump's properties, and obviously it was the latter and not the former, it's not like Trump is gonna get the Breonna Taylor service.

Fortunately when they killed the podcasts out of Google Play Music I switched to Podcast Addict and never looked back.

I honestly feel bad for the guys assigned to work on this dead-end project.

And considering the buggy, infuriating mess that YTM is and that team is being rewarded with expanded scope, I wonder what dirt they have on Sundar.

Well, for one, I doubt Canada does it, and for another, the Americans at least have the self-respect to own what they're doing when somebody calls them out on it instead of switching into crybully mode and throw a diplomatic temper tantrum like Modi is.

I don't recall Obama ever pulling diplomats and visas from Pakistan when their government was angry about US airstrikes in their country.

"I didn't do it and if I did it was justified" just looks childish.

Also, can somebody explain this to sysadmins when it comes to naming computers?

I mean programmers can have some weird naming conventions, but I've never met an adult professional programmer who named all his variables after planets or Harry Potter characters or just called everything stuff like ADMUTIL6 or PBLAB03T1 or PBPCD1602.

Who wanted this? Who asked for this?

Like, ytm has boneheaded problems like "wear os client only lists your first 99 albums". The fact that you can't sort albums by artist is bonkers. But they're adding comments? What???
