Interesting that all popular imagery of the judeo-christian god ended up paralleling Zeus/Jupiter anyways.

But...but...I can shop like a billionaire. A billionaire!

And it's just "coincidence" that they're almost all black.

I have never seen that skit before and it is uncanny how well they managed to capture the dialog delivery of those characters.

Wondering if Google Glass counts for that, since it was only ever available as a test device for developers. Never made it to general availability before it got the boot.

I watched it years ago and enjoyed it, but I am not sure if all parts of it hold up today.

Still waiting for my Discord streaming.

It is literally Ireland with some extra bits if viewed upside-down.

You're right. Real European dragons are perfection.

I suppose the definition of justice is flexible, between preventative justice and restorative justice and so on, but in this case I am referring specifically to holding guilty people accountable for their actions. There will be no making right what happened here, not by any stretch of the imagination, and there is still a lot more work that needs to be done to make sure this sort of thing never happens again. But while I am sure it is of little consolation to Sonya's family, her murderer is going to prison.

I know there are long-standing charicatures in media of the "corrupt cop" type of character shooting some innocent person and then planting a knife or drugs on them to make it look like self-defense, but that wouldn't exist if there wasn't some grain of truth to it.

With the body cam footage that had been released, there is no question of his guilt. There's no way for the police to cover this up by painting another innocent victim as a criminal, dragging her name through the mud, just to keep this racist scumbag on payroll and free to keep terrorizing the people he's supposed to protect. The racists don't have to gather in droves to protect this monster and put a community through hell to further some disgusting agenda or another.

It doesn't fill the void, but it is some degree of justice which is better than none.

Popularity I'm afraid.

Other polls that factor in additional considerations essentially have them neck-and-neck right now, maybe a 1 or 2% lead for Trump.

Fucking electoral college...

Well, in this particular incident that the post is about, there was definitely a stovetop that had a pot of boiling water on it. That's apparently worth shooting someone over...

 

Lot of helpful advice in a beautifully formatted checklist. Don't forget to make a copy if you want to use this for yourself!

 

Aorzia has gotten a bit stale lately, hasn't it?

 

When Samsung last updated One UI several months ago, myself and many other Samsung users (and Pixel users on Android 14 as well, judging by the replies) encountered a bug where swiping posts closed showed only a black background until fully closed, after which the content one would expect to see would appear.

Last night, One UI updated to 6.1 on my device, and when I used Sync this morning, I noticed that the black background bug is no longer happening.

!Unfortunately I now need to re-learn my navigation gestures because Samsung apparently thinks it's fine to force people to completely re-learn how they navigate their phone overnight...!<

Seen on a comment today, this user with an Arabic username, written right to left, is rendered in between the points value and label text in Sync, rather than to the left of the value as expected.

As one of the (probably few) FFXIV players who actually has access to an Xbox Series X, it is a bit disappointing that there is no way to participate in the beta.

Hope the people who have an Xbox and are interested in FFXIV but didn't pick it up yet for any other platform enjoy the beta. All 10 of them.

 

From the Fanfest keynote, the 6.55 update will come with a full 24-hour downtime while they work on replacing the JP server infrastructure.
