I didn't even realize they were called "mini"blinds until I moved in to my current place and there was some kind of rule that mentioned them. I'd only heard them referred to as "blinds" my entire life up to that point. This implies the existence of larger blinds which I've yet to see.

Edit: I've definitely seen them. Apparently my brain is underclocked today.

I get not wanting the victim to have to testify at that age, but how does a plea offer of less than a month in jail even get made for something like this?

Nazis, I imagine.

It makes sense with the context in the article, but "triples that of 650 million" is a very strange way to say "almost 2 billion".

Grab 'em by the kernel.

Redditors tend to be more technically inclined than Twitter users

This used to be true, but Reddit has been mainstream for years now. Today's average Redditor is likely pretty similar to the average Twitter user.

A number followed by an exclamation point means multiplying it by each whole number below it until one.

3! = 3*2*1 = 6
5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
10! = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 3,628,800

3,628,800 seconds / 60 = 60,480 minutes
1008 hours

As is the Caribbean.

John Oliver had an episode where the main story answers your question.

Basically, if you donate your body "to science" there's a chance it could end up with such a company. I wouldn't call it ethical, but as of now it's legal.

Borat.

Supposedly it's a comedy, but it's completely devoid of humor.

I just installed Mint to an external SSD this weekend to try and get my grandma to try it out. I really don't want her scared into thinking she needs to go out and waste a few hundred on a new laptop.

Harassment? Once there's physical contact isn't it assault?

My favorite thing about the jet fuel argument is that it's actually true. It's irrelevant, but it's true.

They definitely should've put more thought into it before typing "internetism", but still no reason for an apology.

Illegal doesn't stop them.

if she exists at all

Think they covered that

May 27th, 2022 I got off work and bought a 750ml bottle of Captain Morgan. This was more or less a nightly occurence. I woke up the following morning, finished off the bottle (less than a single shot thanks to the previous night), and thought "I'm done".

Excluding the single glass of champagne and a little sip of margarita at a loved one's wedding last month, that thought has proven correct. It makes no sense to anyone who's dealt with addiction. Every day I felt myself being pulled toward the bottle, then all of a sudden that feeling was gone. The cravings are gone. Hell, I once got nauseous from friends even talking about alcohol too much.

It was like I had tried for a while to escape from a prison and eventually accepted that I'd die there. Then I woke up in an open field with no explanation. It's bizarre. I can't explain it. But you won't hear me complain.

Y-level. Before 1.18 the top layer containing bedrock (ETA: in the overworld) was y=4.

you take 15 minutes out of your goddamn day to do your job as a parent, and set up a content blocker on your home network.

Or, I don't know, talk to your kid?

When you forget what you were about to say:

"Must not have been important"

How in the ever-living fuck could anybody come to that conclusion?
