All the time. I could have typed a multi-paragraph masterpiece but then I realise I can’t be bothered offering help in a world full of people that know everything about everything and are never wrong.

You nailed it. Users cannot be trusted to not re-use login credentials.

I know we all hate it, but proper 2-factor authentication via authenticator apps must be the default position for everything.

Seems like a fair and reasonable response to a cartoon.

The religion of peace strikes again.

I’ve been wanting these guys to chill for over 20 years. They have no chill. I’ve read so many takes on what it is they actually want, and why they keep seizing power. It seems the actual answer is that they just want power. Plain and simple.

That’s generally how it’s used in Australia. There will be an existing suburb named ‘generic suburb’, and developers will come and build a new housing development full of cookie cutter houses on 300m2 blocks with their gutters near touching eachother and call it ‘generic suburb heights’ as an attempt to give the schmucks that buy there some sort of feeling of prestige over the older neighbourhood with larger block sizes and more human compatible dwellings.

Other guy in here nailed it with the British origins but for some reason he’s been downvoted.

To be clear, is he in hot water over what he said about the ADL? Or the fact that Nazi’s are proliferating on his platform and advertisers don’t like it?

I feel your frustration. I played New Super Mario Bros. Wii (2009) on an emulator recently and then New Super Mario Bros. 2 (2012). They’ve literally been selling the same game over and over again for full price for 15 years.

I guess I just take this in another direction. I don’t yearn for some new fangled mario with better graphics, I just accept that I’m not going to pay for the same product over and over again.

You clearly feel a lot more strongly about this than I do.

Life is too short to play bad games. Mario wonder wasn’t a bad game for me.

If your gripe is more with nintendo’s increasingly poor value proposition, predatory consumer practices and litigious bullshit then there’s more of a conversation to be had. I’d suggest your best revenge tools at this point are called Yuzu and Ryujinx.

Perhaps I’m missing the point here. What’s wrong with Mario wonder?

3D Mario games have all sucked imo. It’s a game that works best in 2D.

Not a bad idea with the kayaks. I just bought a couple of old style geoff barker kayaks/ canoes from an old bloke who does that as a hobby. The old style fibreglass kayaks really lend themselves to easy and quality repair jobs. I felt like we both got a win out of the sale.

They’re pretty fun on the water compared to my old plastic behemoths. So easy to load and unload and takes almost zero energy input to paddle. Bloody easy to tip them over though!

It’s significant. Biggest effect is on efficacy of drug metabolism. There are many such studies.

One size does not fit all here owing to differences in expression of metabolising enzymes and drug transport mechanisms.

No, the Japanese are not aliens but they may require far less of a given drug than a westerner, or far more. This affects the likelihood to experience side effects for any given compound, and their severity.

It’s fairly ironic to make this change for Japan whilst elsewhere in the world with more racially mixed populations there has been a push in the opposite direction: a recognition that you cannot assume the results of a trial carried out on white male subjects will apply to those of African descent for example.

It’s not just drug treatments either. There are many aspects of medical care which have suffered from a lack of specificity and systemic bias.

If you’re considering a side hustle, the best one is preparing yourself to apply for a job that pays a living wage.

We shouldn’t have to work in our downtime to live a good life.

I know enough to believe this isn’t a great idea.

Genetic variation in target populations can result in different outcomes for a variety of treatments and is worth testing specifically.

My thoughts exactly. It just seems like SO MUCH WORK. It’s difficult enough balancing a career, children and keeping one relationship healthy.

Language rarely changes under duress. That’s like trying to give yourself a nickname, it just doesn’t take.

In many cases I believe SOMEONE is paying these supermods.

It’s more about controlling public discourse than it is any sense of moral compass IMO.

It’s a fairly cheap way to control the narrative on just about whatever you like if you can steer acceptable speech around hot button issues on such a large platform.

I have embraced all the good parts of Windows 11. I will continue to cut out the telemetry and other creepy elements like the cancer that it is.

That’s certainly a factor, but I think it has far more to do with availability of content.

I can afford to buy a proper VR setup but I do not see it as a worthwhile investment because practically none of the content available is of interest to me.

It’s the equivalent of dropping 2K+ to play mobile games.

Until AAA studios are actively developing for this hardware, I’m not interested…but they won’t because barely anyone has the hardware. It’s a real chicken and egg scenario.

No thank you. Startallisback to the rescue. Ghost spectre to remove whatever bullshit they put in this time.

I’m not against progress, I just prefer my computer to leave the thinking to me.

Are you well regarded in your community? Because you are certainly regarded here.
