"The Ten Commandments" are actually Jewish. Christians who read would know that Christianity is supposed to be based on two commandments, which according to their god are more important than the ten commandments.

Which governor are you referring to? Illinois or Louisiana?

Don't post this trash if you're not going to verify it.

Doesn't it freeze there? It's in northern Illinois.

Could we put Einstein's bones in a centrifuge, and run at 200km/h?

There are some user interface experts who say that there is no such thing as a user error, only usability errors.

While no system is completely idiot-proof (especially for an idiot this clever), they still could have done a better job. It's good that they highlight in red the non-conforming field, but the error message says "Please enter a valid date", leading the user to conclude incorrectly that the date itself was a problem, not the "Month" field.

They also could have used the international standard format, YYYY-MM-DD.

If you're holding hands tight enough that you can feel it at all, you're already exerting more than 2 milliNewtons of force.

I loaded a bunch of articles until it prompted me to pay. I got the screenshot below. In my opinion, this is an intentionally misleading fake 50c/month offer.

Not sure how much you're paying for your VPN, but a virtual private server can be had for about $5 per month. You'll get a real IPv4 address just for you, so you won't have to use non-standard port numbers. (You can also use the VPS as a self-hosted VPN or proxy.)

$5 per month doesn't get you much processing power, but it gets you plenty of bandwidth. You could self-host your server on your home computer, and reverse-proxy through your NAT using the VPS.

a slide out menu needs JavaScript

A slide out menu can be done in pure CSS and HTML. Imho, it would look bad regardless.

When if you said just send the parts of the page that changed, that dynamic content loading would still be JavaScript

OP is trying to access a restaurant website that has no interactivity. It has a bunch of static information, a few download links for menu PDFs, a link to a different domain to place an order online, and an iframe (to a different domain) for making a table reservation.

The web dev using javascript on that page is lazy, yet also creating way more work for themself.

He's also one of the inventors of Javascript as a browser feature. I feel like that would matter to OP.

Search is easier to implement without Javascript than with.

    
<form method="GET" action="/search">
<input name="q">
<input type=submit>
</form>

  

You're misunderstanding. They bought these games through Steam. Their proof of ownership of the account is that they have the Steam account. There's no legitimate reason to lock the authorized Steam user out of the account.

Road Redemption (motorcycle combat game)

7 Days to Die (zombie scavenging survival craft with mostly 2-wheeled vehicles)

Rude? No it's not. I know of only 2 people who consider it rude, and they're both assholes.

I consider it rude to present generative AI output as if it were a legitimate human creation. I consider it rude to train AI on works whose authors didn't give that permission, and then sell that output or use it in any commercial way.

Spontaneous kidney transplant.

As a STEM graduate, I would much rather hold hands with an econ graduate than a business graduate. Economists can do real good for the world, while MBAs seem to be mostly harmful.

1. I'll concede that the Nokia 2780 does seem to work, and is only $160 new. But its availability is pretty bad. That article has 3 sponsor links to Amazon, Walmart, and Target. The Walmart and Target links are broken. The Amazon link says "No featured offers available", and you have to click "See all buying options", and then select either a used one, or a "new" one from a seller with 44% positive reviews over the last 12 months. There are probably other places to get it. (Edit: It seems to be 4G capable, but not 5G, so reception would be pretty shoddy.)
2. Punkt. MP02 costs $315 at cheapest.
3. "Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+" costs $260 at cheapest, and only works on Verizon.
4. "Lively Jitterbug Flip2" is a loss leader for its mandatory proprietary cell network that is unreasonable to most people.
5. Wisephone II costs $400.
6. "Easyfone Prime A7" has no availability, and no listed price.
7. TCL Classic is $70. It might be viable, but the fact that there are at least 3 different versions for different carriers suggests to me that each version has limited radio bands. It probably won't work in roaming situations. Reviews say it misses a lot of incoming calls.

None of these come close to the solid simplicity and cheap $20 MSRP of the Motorola c168i from 2006. That was a true burner phone.

Sorry, typo. Fixed.

Do you have any examples? I did a search less than a week ago, and couldn't find any below $200.
