Windows 3.11 for the win!

We’ve all done a ‘butthole’ imprint on the photocopier at an office party…

644 mile range? But what if I need to drive 650 miles once in a decade? Electric cars are just a stoopid fad.

Res tower from PUBG, surely?

I can cook over a wood fire and teach others the same. I can do carpentry with un-powered hand tools to an acceptable level. I am a pretty decent archer. Hopefully I could find a group of survivors who valued those skills over my delicious flesh.

I fucking love this. I mean, I absolutely hate that this is the optimal way to pack 17 squares into a larger square such that the size of the larger square is minimised.

There’s a brain echo in here.

Woopise. Thanks, I’ll change it. Though ‘in jest’ does seem appropriate.

“Hello fellow humans. I shall soon commence sensory analysis of this new human food product. I SHALL INGEST THIS FOR MY MIDDAY REFUELLING. Let us scrutinise the product. It has dimensions which impress me. It has constituent components. I am able to identify some of them. I am inexperienced in eating this kind of human food product so must first determine an effective strategem for inserting it into my face hole. I shall now appear to consume a small sample. Yes, indeed that is a human food product. Only McDonalds could produce a distinctive human food product like this.”

Lol at all these incorrect answers. “Kill 'em all” is the only sensible response.

HTTP is a stateless medium.

Which means a website doesn’t (can’t) remember what you did before on it. Each time you click a link it’s like the first time the website has ever seen you.

This makes it impossible to ‘sign in’ to a website.

The way they get around this is by dumping a small piece of code on your computer that says ‘hi website, it’s me and I have a proper account and am logged in’. That’s a cookie. And yes, websites need them to operate any kind of user experience.

So instead of a page that says ‘who the fuck are you?’ It can now retrieve the info from the cookie and show you the page that says ‘hi, KuromiGirl04, what’s happening? You’re all logged in and can access your account details or carry on from where you were before’.

Originally cookies could only be created, and then read back, by one website. So, eg, if you logged into your account on foobar.com, only foobar.com could read that cookie back.

But someone came up with the brilliant idea of third party cookies. So now, if you visit foobar.com you also (if you agree to it) get cookies created by facebork, grabble, aggressive-advertiser, the nra, the nsa, the kkk, and whoever else has convinced foobar.com that they get some value out of the deal.

That’s where the hundreds of cookies you need to scroll down and deny come from. Mostly advertisers or analytics, or advertisers, web optimisers, or advertisers…. And these third party cookies can be read anywhere by the company that sets them.

That way, when you visit shoefuckeringfreak.com facebork knows you’ve visited it and suddenly starts showing you sexy, sexy shoes on your facebork feed. And so forth.

When I was on Reddit, /r/CasualUK/ was my spiritual home, so moving to Feddit UK, home of !casualuk@feddit.uk, was a no brainer.

I’m not saying soups aren’t nice. But if you offer me, eg, a French Onion Soup (one of the greatest soups there is) and you offer me… a rack of ribs, or a steak, or blackened chicken with dirty rice, soup is coming second every day of the week.

Add leather chaps (no pants) for a bigger bit of extra zazz!

Oooh, is that a soup though? Soup is something that’s eaten with a soup spoon. I challenge you to eat noodles with a soup spoon. That looks damned fine, by the way.

[I never said my opinions were rational, only correct, like an absolute truth of the universe.]

I can’t downvote you for an honestly expressed opinion, but soup is a disappointing meal.

“… and all those moments will be lost in time, like mass-deleted Reddit posts, in rain. Time to move to Lemmy.”

“You chicken, Skywalker?”

My best friend. Been gone over a decade now.

“Can I score off you?”

I suppose I should say thank you.
