We have very few effective antifungals, and discovering new ones is an order of magnitude harder than discovering new antibiotics due to fungi being more closely related to animals (what's toxic to them is often toxic…
In practice, 100%. In theory we could likely design "good enough" anonymous systems that work like buying alcohol or tobacco in most countries (buy a scratch token in cash at a corner store after showing ID, picked at…
"They are shrinking from responsibilities such as marriage, homeowning and child-rearing because “adulting is hard”, as one of his students put it. Western culture, Mr Hayward wrote, indulges childish fancies." Yes, it…
They also have absurdly huge TIFFs of all 3 posters if folks are interested: https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Gary+Overacre%...
FWIW, your Enterprise key for Win10 should also work to install Win11 enterprise (the MAK keys for the two versions are identical, even), so you can test this fairly easily if you're inclined. That said, I can aver that…
When I'm carded in RL, it is atypical for my ID to be stored, and I must be informed of the fact. A clerk examines the birthday line, and that is that. There is no record. The purchase is de facto anonymous; if I pay in…
This. They're following the Orban-Erdogan-Harper (International Democratic Union) playbook - purge the judiciary of independent judges, control the news media, and open culture-war fronts to distract and sap the…
HaveIbeenpwnd says it was just passwords/usernames/emails, so seemingly not. (My company just got an email from them about the breach and I confirmed I'm in there with a quick search on their website.)
I do -- I use WinAmp myself, mostly, but xmplay was updated as recently as 2020 so it's still a thing.
It might be, though a lot of municipalities also have bylaws that require certain forms of ground cover on lots, either for aesthetic or drainage purposes.
Your handling of folks' feedback in this thread is impressively graceful, fwiw.
Plenty of monkeys will opportunistically consume things, and some groups like the baboons and mandrills are gleefully omnivorous and have been known to take down small antelopes. Take a look at those canines and wonder…
The 'Project Farm' reviews on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@ProjectFarm) really have been eye-opening for me in that regard; sometimes there is still a strong correlation between price and quality but half the time…
It can make sense for a company where you know the printers will be used regularly and heavily and thus will also be subject to a lot of wear and tear, plus the pricing the big players offer can be pretty decent.
Jason @ textfiles also did a nice compilation: http://textfiles.com/underconstruction/ There's a delightful irony in the fact that such a page would absolutely have murdered a browser from its era. Nevertheless, these…
Oh neat. Do these writings use Hanzi or something else?
Re: Publishing in Mandarin, just in case you're curious: Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien, Wu, etc are spoken languages (or dialects, or varieties), but the writing system is common to all of them, albeit in two…
It varies by market a lot. In my part of Canada -- for example -- appliances are almost always included with a house or apartment purchase. Similarly, I only recently learned that in large parts of Canada, it's the norm…
Northridgefix? Tronicsfix? TheCod3r? (Louis Rossmann, of old?) There's several of them, but it really depends on the value of the device more than the cost. A lot of what Northridgefix repairs is valuable for the data…
Snake-oil and moralizing. Dietetics suffers from the same issue that mental health does: there's an underlying stigma that causes people to inflict a moral judgement on the ill; fat people - or so the old line of…
This is indeed /exactly/ what I wondered once people started quoting St. Paul, and as a historian, the implications aren't great.
If they can get the attention of a sufficiently well-connected person, they can probably scam their way into patronage via some form of bundling either via a well-connected private entity or government. "Most-favoured…
The very same Louisiana that insists that age verification on websites is completely safe and reasonable? Shocking. Sadly, probably not the first such breach we'll see, though perhaps the least embarrassing.
It's funny, because in Old English ('Anglo-Saxon'), vowel and consonant length are both semantically important. For those of you who want to have a better handle on the distinction, you can think of it as the sound…
I once happened across a Github where all the repos were subtle little bits of anti-Semitic cant relating to the Holocaust. More than subverting them, they also often function as dog-whistles for fellow travelers. (For…
