- Comment on If I sign up for a torrenting site like torrent galaxy or something, and leave my computer running then will other people get seeded? Or do I have to upload a file or can I just have it finished? 3 days ago:
Nope, that’s a different thing.

Sheik has a long braid? Are they just giving up on the disguise thing?

If you want to emulate Gamecube games, there are a couple where it’s needed (Mario Sunshine comes to mind), or some older games that make use of six axes (the Descent series can make good use of 6). But my experience matches yours–very few need them, and the few that do probably have workarounds.
- Comment on If I sign up for a torrenting site like torrent galaxy or something, and leave my computer running then will other people get seeded? Or do I have to upload a file or can I just have it finished? 1 week ago:
Different torrent clients have options for that. Most will seed indefinitely by default, but some you can set to seed just for a specific amount of time or until you upload a certain percentage of what you download.

White dad with a black daughter here–you should be fine, but if you’re concerned, read up or watch videos to understand bonnets in black culture so that you can speak to it if someone ever brings it up. A simple, “yeah I don’t have textured hair, it’s a sensory thing for me” should clarify any confusion.

- Comment on How does reader mode work? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t have any insider knowledge, but I’d guess they’re basically just rendering the html without JS or the original CSS, probably with a few tweaks. They may also look for certain tags (like “content”) to prioritize the main section. Web developers have a vested interest in notating the content for SEO reasons.

Pretty old. At least twelve years.

Putting things in pants that aren’t ordinarily in pants, especially while wearing said pants, it a time-honored trope.

Will you feature in the remake? Then yes.

Muppet Treasure Island has been in my top five movies of all time for as long as I can remember. In addition to Tim Curry, it has one of my favorite exchanges in all of cinematic history:
“It just feels weird.”
“What? That Captain Smollet is dead?”
“Yeah, that… and my pants are filled with starfish.”
“…you and your hobbies!”
- Comment on Why doesn't Android save app memory into storage instead of killing the process in RAM? 1 month ago:
That’s true. But it’s also not trivial to implement an app that may have its “RAM” located on disk. It’s a complex problem with multiple solutions, and giving apps the freedom to do what they want with it is the way Android structured things.

Yeson the first question andNoon the second question both lead to the end nodeDon’t bother - Comment on Why doesn't Android save app memory into storage instead of killing the process in RAM? 1 month ago:
Contact the developer of Voyager and request a feature to automatically save drafts. This is handled at the app level in Android, and it’s 100% possible for the app to handle this transparently.
- Comment on Why doesn't Android save app memory into storage instead of killing the process in RAM? 1 month ago:
This is it, and it’s arguably a much better model. Apps are able to manage their own persistent storage, and you can always be sure that your RAM is actually RAM (and not deal with the speed and timing issues that result in you “RAM” actually being flash memory).

Nah, Gollum is played by Animal.

Yep, they’re all Jim Henson. And they show up on each other’s stuff–Kermit was occasionally a newscaster on Sesame Street, and Big Bird was in the original Muppet Movie from the 70s.
- Comment on Refer to the chart 1 month ago:
They’re all one thing. Kermit used to show up on Sesame Street as a newscaster. And Big Bird shows up in the Muppet Movie from the 70s. Jim Henson and Frank Oz did both.

Personally, I think they’re good. Obviously it’s subjective, but I think there’s a good reason that they’ve withstood the test of time.
The brand of humor is timeless. The absurdity of a world where a pig and a frog can take on human roles without comment is just as funny now as it was 40 years ago. The overall style of humor is somewhat dry but still accessible.
It’s not for everyone, but it’s for a lot of people.
- Comment on Refer to the chart 1 month ago:
The inspiration for the chart was actually another thread about exactly this. Here’s the roster I suggested:
- Aragorn: Kermit
- Arwen: Ms Piggy
- Legolas: Janice
- Gimli: Rowlf
- Boromir: Sean Bean (human)
- Gandalf: Dr Teeth
- Frodo: Elijah Wood (human)
- Sam: Fozzy
- Merry: Rizzo
- Pippin: Gonzo
- Saruman: Sam Eagle
- Ringwraiths: Statler and Waldorf
- Bombadil: Swedish Chef
Another commenter noted that Janice would be too good as Galadriel to cast her as Legolas. Which is a very valid point.

Don’t need to guess. It took me many years to realize elevator shafts could hold more than one elevator car.

This is correct when the riddle is posed verbally, but it only works because T and Tea are homophones.
So an answer to this written form is TiTleisT.
- Comment on Is using an ssd as a cache to speed up a harddrive still a thing? 2 months ago:
I don’t know if it would give you the speed boost you’re looking for. That being said, if you’re using something like Steam, you can move files between drives on command. So if there’s a particular game you’re playing for a while, you could move that to your SSD and then move it back to your HDD when you move on to something else.

Why are people still buying shit from Sony? It would be less work to just flush your cash directly down the shitter.

No. Every time we’ve tried, the universe resets itself and then spawns twelve more JS frameworks. A few universes ago, npm didn’t even exist. Now look at us.
