Having whitespace after the asterisk or indenting the line by two or more spaces seem to be the only possibilities according to the "Formatting Options"[1]

This great video from 8-bit guy has sounds from Apple II drives and some other examples, together with various technical details and views of the drives insides:

I'm not sure I understand. How is feminism leading to children with more disorders and fractured families?

The current pope is called Francis, or Franciscus.

Definitely part of a "normal" Windows install, but I don't know if it's part of Windows Server too.

Ah yes, that's where I first heard about this problem. Dategenetics is a great blog in general, with lots of interesting content.

On one hand the lyrics (as quoted in the link posted by another commenter [1]) are clearly in bad taste, and I don't see how they are supposed to pay tribute to a boy killed in a road accident. On the other hand I don't understand how any of this warrants a fine and curfew. Sure, if the platform this was posted on doesn't agree with the language they can give a warning or even block the account, but why did the justice system have to get involved at all?

Possibly, but this is why one shouldn't expect to get a simple, "true" answer or be suprised when there are arguments and flamewars.

Because "What is the best X" is a vague question and rarely has just one true answer.

Seems like it's restored now.

Not saying your brother's theory is right, but just because something isn't a real treat doesn't mean it can't be perceived as a threat (and consequently be lobbied against)

Seems like setpixel now wants more than just your email:

Thank you for the image! There are actually a lot of screenshots on the original page, as I know realize. Thankfully the site seems to have recovered more or less (still very slow to load here, but it does load eventually)

Here is an Internet Archive link, since the site seems to be down right now:

Yes, because I think it is more useful to just write about the details of the potential "life-or-death situation" instead of linking to a long video about it. Your original comment was very clickbait-like, "What you don't know about hauntings could kill you!" If the whole thing can be spoiled with a short summary of the first couple of minutes, it's probably not worth watching anyway.

Edit: I have now added a spoiler warning to my original comment (I hadn't thought about this possibility, sorry)

Just in case anyone is interested (spoilers!): the talk is about a woman who thought her house was haunted, but it turned out she was suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, due to a leak. Carbon monoxide can cause auditory hallucinations and feelings of dread and pressure on your chest.

Edit: added spoiler warning

Just for your information: Contrary to how it may appear in internet memes, "whomst" isn't really a standard English word.

Well, the "auto" branch saw a commit 20 days ago, and before that in January. But they mostly seem to be small changes to "unbreak stuff".

Indeed. At times it is scary what level of trickery and manipulation is used to drive addiction (or engagement as some like to call it) in social media. Especially when you consider that these methods are also indiscriminately used on young kids, as soon as they get their first smartphone and start installing apps like Snapchat (which can be pretty early nowadays).

I don't think retweets are trash in general. They are one of the main ways for me to find new, interesting accounts on Twitter. I follow people because I like the things they tweet, i.e. find them interesting. Chances are they are going to retweet content that I appreciate too. If someone starts retweeting random, uninteresting content I just unfollow (or disable retweets for them, like the author mentioned). Problem solved. Maybe I don't have the same problems with noise because I follow fewer than a hundred accounts, since I treat Twitter as a source of information first, and a social network second.

I think what the grandparent wanted to say is that every sharp S (ß) in the article should actually be Beta (β). The article probably refers to a certain slide[0] Jonah Peretti's presentation[1] "Mormons, Mullets and Maniacs" which actually uses a sharp S in italics. Seems to me like it should be a Beta indeed, especially since using a sharp S in this context would be rather unusual as far as I can tell.

Yes, I have seen this Snapchat streak phenomenon with my little brother and his friends. They constantly send completely random pictures to each other, i.e. they open the camera app, take a picture of the ground, of the seat in front of them in the car, etc. and then immediately send it to a number of their Snapchat friends. When I had Snapchat installed for a short while he started sending me those pictures too, which in the end led to me blocking him. From what my brother said there is a lot of competition around who can keep their numbers the highest. Quite a strange thing to watch as an outsider.

Yes, one can certainly find a lot of material in Nietzsche's work supporting this interpretation. But there is so much more to it. Giorgio Colli wrote that "Nietzsche has said everything, and the opposite of everything." Depending on how you pick and choose, you can construe it to mean pretty much anything you want. Which is also what enabled his sister to use her brother's work for her own nationalistic, antisemitic goals.

It's not just what Nietzsche actually wrote and published, but to some effect the forgeries by his sister, who had control over his manuscripts after his mental breakdown. She twisted fragments of his writing, sometimes to say the contrary of what her brother actually intended to express.

People who still smoke nowadays aren't even deterred by the very graphic images of internal organs affected by smoking-related diseases that are printed on cigarette packs in many countries (next to very clear wording that smoking will harm you and people around you). So I doubt that this would make much of a difference in that regard.

In Austria all the driving schools I've seen so far have their own branded cars. I'm pretty sure I also took the test in one of the driving school's cars, since they had their own test course right next to the school, and it was all paid in one package (theoretical and driving lessons, written and practical test).

To add one data point concerning an "old" phone: smooth scrolling on Samsung Galaxy S4. At least with ads blocked.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy Ether\Ethereum\Gas (whatever the correct name for the currency is)?

It really sounds ominous if, like me, you've never heard about "Amazon's Spheres". Brings to mind stories of alien objects appearing at several key locations on Earth, surrounded by the military and scientists, when suddenly they show signs of activity.
