BRB, need to ask Randall Munroe a "what if' question real quick for completely unrelated reasons...

My guess is "places that have lots of predators and don't want them being attracted to residential areas". I can see an argument for banning chickens in a suburb if, say, little Susie down the street got attacked by a hungry coyote that couldn't make it into any of the coops (i have no clue if coyotes would attack a kid or not, just an example).

That's a shame, they should have stuck to cock magic instead.

Steam gets around this problem by doing the decompressing on the fly as you download. Go check out your CPU usage next time you install a game.

Edit: I think this is also why it defaults to not downloading while you game. Steam doesn't want you to have a bad experience from the decompression.

Whoever is fixing your computer absolutely despises you if you're a smoker. Tar gets everywhere.

it's not a browser extension, its a SLAAC thing https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/deploy360/2014/privacy-extensions-for-ipv6-slaac.

TL;DR is that SLAAC used to use part of your device MAC to form it's IP, which would be trackable/fingerprintable. Now devices just pick the last 48-bits at complete random on the assumption that no other device is going to have that specific address out of the 4 quintilion available addresses.

I've read articles in the past about high speed trains and/or just new train lines in general would get held up by little towns who didn't want to lose the commuter traffic since it was the only thing keeping them afloat. There are too many towns that exist literally just to serve motorists and now nobody wants to get rid of them.

I'm pretty sure that's corporate speak for "we need to drive plex pass subscriptions more so we need to lock more feature behind it."
