Awesome news! They removed them from the menu during COVID, but it looks like they're slowly rolling them back out now that supply lines aren't so strained.

The lead scientist is sort of set up to be the final girl, but she also fails the morality test several times, so by the rules of horror movies she's got to go.

I remember reading that she was originally supposed to survive, but test audiences hated her character so much that they switched the survivor role around at the last minute.

The Angus burgers? I loved the mushroom and swiss one, still mad that they're gone.

He was once shaved for a medical procedure, and was so traumatized by the experience he can only hide his belly against his owner's scalp and pray the vet takes her hair instead.

But time flies. Do you have a plan for that?

For Google Fiber to have been successful, Google would have had to overturn countless local laws (paid for by the ISPs) that granted the one who laid down the lines a monopoly on their use. So even if Google had won it would have been a net win for customers, as it would have paved the way for local ISPs to compete with the national ones.

Cancer can appear in anyone, at any time, no matter how healthy you are. In fact your body is constantly generating the precursors to cancer due to unavoidable genetic damage (age, sunlight, cosmic radiation, pure random chance during cell division), but has processes to eliminate them before they spread. Cancer is when these processes fail and the damaged cell is allowed to reproduce. Being healthy only reduces the number of dice you're rolling.

Colorectal cancer is especially insidious as the colon is constantly shedding cells (the more often cells split, the higher the cancer risk), and often there aren't any symptoms until it's too late. Everyone should get checked out periodically.

Don't want to dig, and throw roadblocks in the way to prevent anyone else from doing it (just ask Google Fiber).

And CPUs with higher core counts tend to have lower clock speeds per core, leading to games sometimes running much better on mid-range hardware than on the latest and greatest.

Did you log out and back in after the recent lemmy.world upgrade? That fixed it for me.
