Yes, the ruling class wants to reduce the global population, which is why the ruling class is also constantly talking about how we need to increase birthrates.

I’m guessing the commenter is talking about GOG and/or “legitimate” piracy on PC.
(Legitimate piracy meaning you own the game legally but you downloaded a pirated copy to avoid DRM)

That doesn’t seem like a great idea to me. You’re signaling to let other drivers know you’re intending to do something so they can be ready to react if needed. You could miss a car in your blindspot even after checking and only signaling right before you start changing lanes wouldn’t give that car much warning.
Obviously signaling doesn’t magically give you the right of way to merge, but IMO it’s better to let others know you’re doing something as soon as possible

A lot of US cars use the same physical light for turn signals and brake signals, but I’m saying noticing the car in front of you is slowing down because the brake lights are on can be a more reliable way to know someone is about to turn because no one uses turn signals properly
- Comment on Impossible 1 week ago:
Plenty common in the US too. Break lights are a more reliable indicator that someone is planning to turn soon

Multiplication is commutative.
50% of 6 == 50/100 x 6 == (50 x 6)/100 == 50 x 6/100 == 6% of 50.

It’s probably a combo of a lot of things, like screenshotting, encoding issues, accidental conversion, etc, but at least for sites that advertise themselves as image repositories, I’m pretty sure it’s to get you to actually visit the site. I’ve run into sites where the real image actually costs money to download, and ones where it’s free and they’re probably hoping for ad revenue from the page view.

The site is using Cloudflare for DDoS protection, and unfortunately Cloudflare is probably the most effective tool for this. It also looks like it might be archive.org in the screenshot, and they’ve been dealing with a lot of DDoS attacks lately.
I don’t think Google advertises “we force you to scan a QR code” as a feature of reCAPTCHA either, so it feels a little weird to me to blame the site for using a DDoS protection tool that in turn uses reCAPTCHA for human verification when Google randomly decides to add a new stupid challenge type.

- Comment on Scan to Verify You're Human 2 weeks ago:
It looks like a Cloudflare interstitial. I also don’t think sites get to choose which challenge types show up in reCAPTCHA, so this is on Google.

The “family size” lasagna is about 1400 Calories total. I think it’s reasonable to say that’s 2 adult servings, but Stouffer’s says it’s 5.

IMO (formal) American Portuguese and Spanish are pretty close to mutually intelligible, especially in writing. There’s a surprisingly consistent “system” for converting words between them and once you notice it, it’s pretty easy to tell what a sentence should be in the other language, if it’s even spelled differently in the first place. The grammar is also very similar. The biggest difference that gets me is how Portuguese tends to shift past tense conjugations further into the past vs Spanish.

Acceleration doesn’t seem to matter 90% of the time in superhero universes. Also, if there was enough time to slow the train down there was enough time to get the kid off the tracks safely.

The AI is obviously just picking up on the “Jews secretly control X” pattern and not actually understanding the question, but it’s also a pretty silly question in the first place.
I guess it’s helpful for pointing out that “AI” isn’t very good at calling out a false premise.

240W for 3.1, but it’s pretty rarely implemented and there’s no way a car’s built in USB port is going over 15W.
240W is also 20A in a 12V car which is definitely going to blow a fuse.
