The plane construction is speeded up. It's often blurry when you pause it.

Similarly, my young niece had surmised that chickens produce nuggets in much the same way they produce eggs.

My sourdough starter is absolutely fine with chloraminated water. I do use bottled water for pickles though because each batch is starting from scratch.

Also Visual Basic!

China passed a law a couple of years ago requiring all Chinese companies to give the government live access to their databases. Is TikTok exempt? If not, statements that the government hasn't requested any data are misleading. They don't need to.

Twiglets - crunchy snacks coated in yeast extract - have been ruined. Yeast extract is quite salty so to meet the government's new healthy food guidelines the manufacturer has removed more than half of it. They are pointless now, bland and a bit greasy.

They've been my favourite snack for years. I'm gutted.

Some countries recognise the power imbalance in consumer contracts and prohibit unfair terms. For example:

I've used web, android and desktop clients without problems, other than the android notifications. I'm using it as a private chat server; I haven't tried out federation since I was setting it up. I can't see an issue on the bug tracker though.

Conduit is lightweight. I'm running it on a tiny VPS. Its main problem at the moment is unreliable Android notifications.

This is something browsers should solve. If the thing you clicked on wasn't there 0.2s ago then you didn't intend to click on it, so just ignore the click. And add an API for twitch games to turn this off.

Mine does this. It makes me look drunk. People who met me in real life after lockdown were surprised I looked normal. I keep meaning to find some software that will turn the red down.

Maybe. I don't know. I've seen plenty of old fixed ladders that have rusted to uselessness, but they weren't 150 years old.

What material wouldn't degrade over the lifetime of the chimney?

The problem isn't that you are invading your users' privacy. The problem is that you are allowing Google to.

All user-generated content specifically.

If you host non-adult content and there's no way for randos to upload it you don't need to verify.

AIUI, the repo contained a single token that gave access to Heroku. Additionally, a bunch of third party tools had legitimate access to the repo. Any one of them could have been used to steal the token.

PHB:

And all this js makes it really slow too. Maybe the paid plans are faster, but the free hosting for open source is sluggish.

Those countries had been laying the foundations since WWII. China didn't get going until after Mao's death in 1976.

If you open it in GIMP, say, and zoom in the grid lines are clearly part of the image. It's a mess.

From the article:

> there has been growing anxiety about the potential conflict of interest presented where an expert could be financially incentivised to make a finding of PA in a system that allows them to recommend their own therapy or that of colleagues.

BT sell broadband with a mobile fallback if the broadband fails. I'm pretty sure one of the other ISPs offers it too. I've never tried it though.

An application doing a paste needs to query the available clipboard formats and then ask for the data from one of them. This wouldn't work reliably if other applications could simultaneously change the clipboard. So the OpenClipboard API locks the clipboard and applications need to remember to call CloseClipboard.

And, in quantity, even the "harmless" silicates aren't.

I used to live in La Paz. It's nearly 4km up. I did like the climate though.

Was there literally no alternative? Round these parts you can pay in cash (with no change given). I've heard people complain they were forced to use the app when they just didn't have any cash.

(I have to be aware of the alternatives because I don't have a smartphone. It's not been an insurmountable problem yet.)

Poundland sells the double edged razor blades for something like 2p each. I haven't tried them.

Eh? That's an FAQ, in the FAQ section, written in the style of an FAQ. The next line, which you didn't quote, has the solution. There's nothing wrong with it.

This. The original approach can fail horribly if there's a problem on the server when you run the script for real. Your code can be perfect but that's no guarantee the server will always return what it ought to.
