I hate this in C++ when it does this with parameters of an overidden function. I don't need that specific parameter, but if I omit the variable name, I reduce readability.

No. No good. Rednax count 14 violations of prompt. Rednax will improve story now:

Thelsim like sound of name of Thelsim, so Thelsim approves of question :) Thelsim is unique enough name, if not-Thelsim sees Thelsim somewhere else, there’s good chance Thelsim is Thelsim. Thelsim thought Thelsim up on spot and kind of identifies with Thelsim now. Thelsim’s vague and genderless enough to apply to anyone and can still be remembered as normal name. Thelsim's become online identity of Thelsim. Caveman enough for not-Thelsim? :)

Q. If you connect to google.com, how do you know you are talking to google.com, and not bing.com? A. You find the CA of the certificate that google.com send you, and you ask that CA if the certificate is valid.

Q. How do you know that the CA is actually the CA, and not some fake actor? A. You find the CA of the CA, and ask it to validate the certificate of the CA.

Q. How do you know that the CA of the CA is actually the CA of the CA? A. After several layers of this recursion, there is a hardcoded set of trusted certificates on your PC.

If someone self-signs a certificate, then this chain of questions ends well before you end up with a hardcoded (and thus trusted) certificate.

Let's encrypt verifies that a certificate is created from a specific domain. Therefor it can tell is whether the cert belongs to a domain with certainty.

No idea of there is such a feature, but I wouldn't want to use it anyway, because the sorting is lost if you download the files.

Why not rename the files by adding a pre-fix number? Then you can sort on name.

You will probably be fine. And simple v brakes are not that expensive to replace.

You could also add a dynamo based headlight. That will turn the extra resistance into a light that you cannot forget to put new batteries in.

I think people only complained about the owlbear because everything else was so damn authentic. The lore, the feeling of a DnD session, the classes, etc. And to top that of: It was just a good movie. Even for a non DnD player it is worth watching as a comedy/action movie.

Requesting a website is like sending a letter. You have to put the adres on the letter, or the post office (your ISP) won't know where to send the request.

DNS is like a phonebook, but for domain names. It is used to look up the adres you put on the letters you send (websites you visit). Using a custom DNS means that your ISP cannot block websites by omitting them from the phonebook. Adguard uses the same ability of omitting domain names to block ads.

Consider: https://9gag.com/123 A DNS translates "9gag.com" to an internet protocol adres. It is never told that you will use https, or that you request "/123" from 9gag.com

What you do on a website (request "/123") is always hidden from your ISP IF AND ONLY IF the website uses https. Https puts the details of your request inside the envelope, instead of right next to the adres.

Not everyone has the advantage of a protruding belly to lather that soap on, you know.

Parking in the city center of Amsterdam will cost you more than 60 euro for a full day. But if you park at the edge of the city, close to the highway exit and next to a metro station, it will cost you 1 euro.

While it is no outright ban, it is one of the various ways the city is pushing cars away from the center.

Can you elaborate on the "fixed demand" aspect?

From what I know as a software engineer, companies would simply make twice as much software, if their software engineers were twice as efficient. There are always requirements pushed out of scope because the complexity of the solution is growing and growing. The ability to make more complex software solutions with the same amount of engineers is not going to result in less engineers, it is just going to cause more complex software products.

Also note that more engineers has deminishing results due to communication losses. This, along with a fixed supply of engineers seems the biggest limitation to the industry to me.

Helmets do stop a bullet, but they fall of your head when doing so. Note that light armor + big sniperrifle hit can still mean 1 hit KO from full health.

It looks more like Gimly is feeding on Legolas like a vampire.

But the real question is how the hell they are at the same height. Is Legolas carrying him? Is Gimly on stelts? One of the great unsolved mysteries of the universe.
