- Comment on Trend of websites blocking old versions of Chrome -- is this sensible? 1 week ago:
Unless you wanna make life hard on yourself for no good reason, use your real UA where possible and set the closest-to-accurate UA as a site-specific override where needed.
Fake googlebots are extremely easy to spot and will get treated as malicious. Cloudflare will flag you if you’re spoofing browser identity in any obvious way.
- Comment on Trend of websites blocking old versions of Chrome -- is this sensible? 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s completely normal.
The AI bots often use curl, which is commonly blocked by UA filtering, so they started sidestepping that by setting a fake chrome UA (usually the latest chrome version as of model training cutoff).
You just set a fake UA of your own to fix it.

- Comment on What's going on with PHP? 2 weeks ago:
It’s the backbone for a lot of other software, the Wordpress ecosystem most notably. Inertia is the big factor in terms of popularity.
Old school PHP was all about the LAMP stack (Linux as your operating system, apache as your web server, mysql as your database, php as the runtime apache would use to serve dynamic documents). The ecosystem was the real benefit that made it sensational for the era; all the pieces were designed to play nicely with one another.
It was also really noob friendly: You could write basic html, copy it to your web server, reload in browser, and see changes. Then to make things dynamic, you sprinkle in a few
<?php ?>tags in your html, copy it to the server, and it starts working! The code inside those php tags gets run by the web server and their output is written into the HTML. No reloading or resetting apache needed, and you need very little programming knowledge to start.The modern language is… serviceable, but lost the key features that made it great.

Actually, a lot of people were protesting tax cuts for billionaires; it was just a big-tent movement.

Literally all the modern recompilations are AI-driven.
There are various levels of involvement of human actors in the loop, but if you don’t want to use any AI project, just ignore them all.
- Comment on Does anyone actually believe this "rogue AI" nonsense? 3 weeks ago:
You’re talking past the person you’re responding to, and ignoring the words they wrote in order to do so.
They’re asserting that an organized conspiracy of CEOs didn’t plan this out, but in no way/shape/form arguing that this wasn’t a product of negligence.

Has you doctor or dentist taught you how to massage the TMJ by chance?
It’s not a silver bullet, but it stops a lot of headaches in their tracks for me. Sorry if you’re already well aware; just tossing it out in case it helps :).

I made it through the pandemic with nothing but a 16 and 24 kg kettlebell, and highly recommend them as the best bang-for-buck option.
Totally understandable if you’re puzzled on where to start with them, but fortunately, they were popularized in the US by a single person (Pavel Tsatsouline) who’s made a full career out of making beginner-friendly instructionals. I recommend this as a starting point, but Enter the Kettlebell is also a great option:

- Comment on How to summon a group of gym bros (100% working tutorial 2026) 3 months ago:
As a sweeping generalization, this is only a problem with chain gyms.
If you need a solid litmus test though, just call them during core hours and ask for a quick tour. Nearly all indie gyms will let you pay for a day pass or similar if you’re new (though that isn’t always part of their posted rates). If they won’t let you test the waters without signing up for recurring payment, it’s not a gym worth going to.

- Comment on 5 months ago:
Hospital chargemasters have limited utility to the average patient, as they reflect the maximal “sticker rate” the hospital rate charges per procedure, rather than negotiated rates or cashpay rates.
They’re a good tool for figuring out the ceiling of what you might pay, just not a silver bullet for knowing what you will pay.

Say what you will but he has factors in his favor: weight class, doughiness, and (absorbent) padding around the groin to prevent cheap shots.
There are no higher order thinking processes running in that brain either, just pure animalistic id. A concussion-inducing blow doesn’t make any difference if those brain cells were already dead.

Not that I disagree with the post… but the general public out here wilding about vaccines and tylenol and fluoride and shit yet missing this extra-stupid medical “conspiracy” will never not be funny to me.
The FDA doesn’t like greenlighting drugs of dubious direct clinical benefit with high abuse potential, so for the sake of expediency, Pfizer decided to push the narrative that Viagra definitely wasn’t fun unless you had peepee problems. No one wants to look like they have peepee problems, so not enough people who’ve tried it are willing to call a spade a spade and say it’s fun af regardless of age or necessity.
Thus the narrative persists.

Galton was a eugenicist who thought intelligence was baked into one’s bloodline, Spearman’s entire career was that the g-factor was a relatively immutable cross-domain constant, Binet was measuring skulls phrenology style, etc.
