Same grift, new tools. Scammers will use everything they think they can.

Yes. My usual version of this is "You're not special. If they lied to someone else, they'll lie to you."

Also not recommended while using power tools.

Is this a gas oven thing? Sounds insane.

Steps 2-3 are sadly impossible on most devices. If you have one of the bad ones, I'd recommend making some searches before you choose your next device.

All the time I have spent not doing it. Those are the better days.

That looks a bit risquey.

Still better than nothing. Although most of those seem to be training people that "who said it" is how truthfulness of a statement should be judged which is exactly backwards.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin

No they don't. And can't. It's not their product.

Headlines these days. Are they all complete lies?

Brave is a series scam company.

Governments Are Suddenly Shutting Down The Internet

They are not. And can not, especially individually.

Ants are active all year long in the tropics; however, in cooler regions, they survive the winter in a state of dormancy known as hibernation. The forms of inactivity are varied and some temperate species have larvae going into the inactive state (diapause), while in others, the adults alone pass the winter in a state of reduced activity.[71]

The weather's been really nice.

Off the internet, too.

No. Web was published in 1991. Web 2.0 happened much later.

The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger[13] on 17 December 1997— log in this case nods to a ship's log, a written record of a ship's navigation and speed read from rope knots off a special weighed tool called a chip log.[14][page needed] The short form, "blog," was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999.[15][16][17]

Bloggers are a post-2000 thing.

The Ender probably wasn't. It was a lot of effort, and mostly not the interesting kind, and fairly little reward. Although when it worked, it was really good. In the end. Sometimes. And it's way too big.

The Kingroon, very much yes. It's cheap, kind of trashy, but compact. Just prints stuff. Parts detach great. Works just about every time. Quiet out of the box. Just kind of annoying to preheat at the start and end of the session to load and unload filament. Very annoying touchscreen. But those are minor things and I'm not tempted to fix it or upgrade anything. I have actual projects to do. Too many actual projects to do.

Oh, and why? Custom parts that are impossible to buy and a lot of work or impossible to machine or fabricate otherwise. Saves a trip to the local library or hackerspace or wherever things could be printed.

No. If they want to call it sue doo or sue dough, they should have written that. :)

I also pronounce Linus Linus.

Neat, thank you. I knew someone from there. I wonder if they knew.

Now I'm almost curious about what the oldest city in Europe is.

No, because Elden Ring exists.
