Strong possibility now that the quiz simply sits half finished in another tab for a month or two.

It's ok, I asked my dog and it explicitly consented.
Still no? Alright, let me put the dog on.
This is the dog, I don't mind being monitored. Go ahead and explain it to the human.

The big worry is that most computers running Win10 don't meet the requirements to run 11. If they drop support for 10, then a huge number of computers that are functioning just fine suddenly start becoming increasingly less safe to use and the only fix is to throw them away.

TeChNiCaLlY, under Catholic doctrine, being sexually attracted to or being in love romantically with someone of the same sex haven't ever been a sin. Just having sex with them is. What's new is that they are now willing to bless your sexless non-marriage homo life partnership. It's simultaneously useless to any gay Catholics, and a huge middle finger to the more conservative side of the church.

We were warned.
I respect any soda that puts in the time and effort to earn a doctorate degree. You know who I don't respect? Mr. Pibb, who can can take his undergrad ass and fuck right off.

Johnson & Johnson is trying to file for bankruptcy. They are taking it to the Supreme Court for protection against the litigation results of their products potentially causing cancer.

You'd think so, but that's been a standard abbreviation around the Internet for at least 5 years.

A crystal's resonant frequency is determined by its size and shape as well as it's material. The quartz crystals used in watches and other precision crystal oscillators are machined very exactly. Even then it's not that they can't vibrate at other frequencies, they're just not good at it.

None of the police actually ate Afroman's lemon pound cake, just one stared longingly at it for an awkwardly long amount of time, lol. Let's not muddy the waters by accusing those police of something they didn't do, and focus on the blatantly provable (lack of real probable cause, intentionally sabotaging his cameras) and the alleged but highly plausible ("miscounting" some of his cash into their own pockets).

This is great. You should try it.

Typical mass market eggs are unfertilized, but eggs from smaller scale or hobby farms are usually fertilized. On a small scale, it's easier to keep the hens safe from wildlife with a rooster around, but on a large scale they're just a waste of feed. If you're curious, fertilized eggs have a tiny red dot in the egg white.

When asked to choose between convenience and security, a lot of people will choose convenience. Staying on the computer you already have as long as it seems to work fine is very convenient. I still occasionally see computers running Windows 7 for no reason other than that the owner can't be bothered to make a change.

Yeah, not liking blue cheese because it's mold is just silly and mockable. Not liking it because it tastes bad to you is a legit opinion and no one should be shaming anyone for it.

It's also based on Paul's ramblings, so I'm not entirely clear how you get from the biblical text to the official Catholic doctrine.

Let's not get crazy here. These folks would need to know that if they go to a new OS, will is still run "the Microsoft" or "the Google"?

I wish Windows handled this more gracefully. I ran into one where the secondary monitor woke up first and it would cram all open windows and desktop items onto one screen every time it woke from sleep. Frustrated the user. Fix ended up being to swap the display port plugs. Hasn't been an issue since.

Yeah, it's weird but hear me out. What they're referring to is a latte macchiato, which is the opposite of the traditional espresso machiatto you're familiar with. The word macchiato translates as "marked". So an espresso machiatto is an espresso that is marked (with milk), and a latte macchiato is milk with only a marking of espresso. Confusing if you've only heard of one of them, but it does make sense. A lot of Americans are only familiar with the latte macchiato, and major chain shops like Starbucks don't even know what an espresso macchiato is.

TIL I'm gay? I actually carried around a copy of D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths in my backpack, and I have basically zero attraction to other men. Then again, I was over it by high school, so maybe that's why I'm not gay.

Multifactor auth done right
Now I want to go play Cultist Simulator or Book of Hours. This list is also a list of the sorts of cards the games use to represent the narrative/puzzle you're playing through. Highly recommend.
