It’s OK, she’s actually a 9000-year-old shapeshifting dragon.

Until they check manually in a labor-intensive process and you are punished again for having been scammed. It’s inefficient and the wrong people pay the price.

That’s the thing: it’s one of the few laptops you can buy without RAM and disk (of course only usable if you have these parts already)

That’s what a Periscope competitor (live streaming app) used to be called before Periscope bought it

Wait, checks are still not automatically cryptographically verified in seconds? How is anyone still using this? (Ironically, checks never really caught on in my country, the Czech Republic)

Oh, so they were almost this bad originally…

Damn

Monkey’s paw! USA does get 4 more goals but not 4 more goalkeepers to defend them.

More countries should take a piss.

Probably not in recent Photoshop versions, they are working on preserving some kinds of metadata/watermarks. But an uncountable number of other ways to edit a picture (including screenshots)? Very likely removes both metadata and steganographic attribution.

Bottom center too. Beaver teeth?!

If you’re a pacifist, the most useful one is the lie-detecting tool.

Don’t forget the Donald Duck dick pic from John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight that gets brought up with every duck story (last time with the Reflecting Pool).

The “adult for comparison” (light blue) seems quite different in each, even for 1960s hand-drawn diagrams (see source attribution; they would use transparencies, grid paper or pencil guides). Maybe vector “compression” (keeping only every 𝑛ᵗʰ vertex, perhaps fitting path in between to best resemble original) took place? I do that with potraced paths often but always check how the result looks.

I already said I’m being a bit cynical. I can move it up a notch and even thank heat waves for culling old, sickly people who would otherwise keep using taxpayer-funded healthcare for a few more years.

More precisely: for the US, they only checked if the “cause of death” field on the certificate mentions heat but EU statistics compare to a model of how many deaths would have occurred without a heatwave. Of course heat makes lots of indirect deadly circumastances more likely. We don’t have recent studies on heat deaths with similar methodology to compare both regions but at least the gun death statistics are more clear-cut.

Also, this is a bit cynical but people who die to heat usually had preexisting conditions and were statistically likely to die in 10 years anyway. Meanwhile most gun deaths are young adults whose productive careers were cut short.

2 passive incomes? Yes, you can get one but for two, you need to go between the two households often enough, which requires activity on your part.

All of Singapore is near sea level so that’s out of the question.

AC sure, but not ventilation or heating, unless there’s geothermal energy available. And geothermal sites tend to correlate with low safety underground because of geological activity and nasty gases.

Meaning of “/s”

No practical purpose but presumably, the discs will be cool collectibles if there is a way to verify authenticity (at least a professionally printed GitHub logo, I assume)
