That's a solid "The entire Caramba" album.

You might've heard (of) Habba Habba Zoot Zoot; well, they made an entire album of "plausible sounding" songs in German, Japanese, Finish, American, Russian, etc. It's really quite hilarious.

Here's a Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/artist/57BijyLUDfabkaaSwZsxsS

"they had bread."

(I know I'm butchering the joke, please bear with me)

Wait, this is the parade that McPooh has been on about? And they're all in cosplay? I had thought, clearly wrongly, that they'd show their "best of the best", like that other guy's olive-painted garbage and cement trucks.

I feel sorry for all those kids who had to participate in that show.

I'd pay good money, and sign whatever necessary, to get to relive the latter part of your third point. So many fun things got removed, not all of it for good reason....

Never mind what the Verge has to say - we all want to know from the lock picking lawyer. If it takes him more than 12 seconds to crack, then it might be worth a Verge article.

I have not heard of Uplink (nor Bitburner). But I really recommend you try skynetsimulator.com - I am not affiliated, yadda yadda, it's just a fun, free, online game.

Without a doubt, the bar in Ulence Flats! Different live bands on stage, very eclectic, always recognisable.

Edit: one example (in case time bookmark doesn't work, skip to 9m 16s)

The 1956 Chevy Nomad, but with '57 hood ornaments - and also actually useful (safe, visible) rear lights, electric drive, airbags, etc...

I love parking closer to the car on my right, where the passe doors face one another. If everyone did this, there would be so much more room to get in and out of vehicles.

And yes, I'm aware that not all cars are single occupant... but too many of them are.

This immediately reminded me of "Pinball Construction Set" for the Macintosh - although it probably should have rather reminded me of the "MusicWorks" icon, or some of the fine black and white clip art of the 80s.

In any case, if that is hand-painted from scratch it's truly astounding.

Look, slack is 1000% better than Teams will ever be. But, Slack is also enshittifying themselves, eg. with their 3-month event horizon.

Anything Slack can do, Mattermost does -- and Mattermost is free, open source, and self-hostable.

This is my hill.

 

What would happen if I tossed it in the washer (on a cold programme)? Is there another way to get old deep mud (I hope! 😬) stains out of this unknown synthetic fabric?
Where else should I ask?

 

This is likely a very niche request, but perhaps there's a genius here with the answer - or can point me to a better place to ask.

If I want it to look like a web page is loading an interlaced gif over an old modem connection, would there exist some tool to convert a given static image to an animated gif (preferably downsampled to 256 colours)?

You know, the one where it starts off as one giant coloured block which then gets progressively segmented into thinner lines with more detail as each interlaced line is received...

 

From my understanding, (a) the brain has no nerves, which is why you can talk to people while doing brain surgery on them; and (b) headache is caused by blood vessels constricting. Now, I am unsure whether migraines are also caused by blood vessels constricting, but in any case - what is it that is doing the sensing of this pain? Or is it a(nother) case of the brain just making shit up because it hates me?
