KFC / Pizza Hut / Taco Bell – the only restaurant you need!

I haven’t looked in a while but in 2020, prune juice was still in the mandatory ingredients list. It’s mainly corn syrup and water, but prune juice is involved, I think

I think this is my new head cannon, the distracted Mr. Pibb and his focused wife, Dr. Pepper.

I never imagined they were married, just that Dr. Pepper was his superior.

At very least there’s an OCX for InteractiveHtmlView or some stuff. It’s how South Korean banks apps run. I think even the EU-specific “unbundled IE” versions still have that ActiveX / OLE control registered, though it might be crippled.

Although, he admits in the video to “faking” his footage of it working, by using a off-camera heat source. (His batteries were quite dead.)

But, as someone that lived through this time, they did work, as long as you pressed hard enough in the right places. It was hard to tell if the battery was dead or if you weren’t pressing hard enough

The whole reason I got on YT Premium was because it was free with Google Play Music. I have real issues watch non-Premiun now, because I’ve always disliked advertising methods. (Not so much th ads, which can be entertaining, but just being shown content I didn’t request instead of the content I did request.)

Ribs. I don’t mind saucy ribs. I suppose if you are supposed to use your hands, maybe it’s okay if they get a bit saucy.

I don’t really like buffalo wings. I know boneless wings are basically just “nuggies”, but I prefer them, especially if things are getting saucy.

A dry spice blend can make for acceptable wings, but I actually still prefer something like a spicy breading and a bigger piece of chicken, if I’m going to have to deal with bones.

But, I will admit that is a good border case, and isn’t quite the sin that shrimp w/ tail covered in cream sauce is.

Anything I can’t eat with my hands, should not be covered in a sauce that I don’t want on my hands.

Fried shrimp with tails = fine. Bone-in chicken legs = fine. Bone-in chicken in biryani = not ordering. Shrimp with tail in pasta = sin against god and crime against humanity.

Too redundant, just use S-exprs.

(Mostly joking, but in some cases…)

“users will be frustated and leave” exactly the same thing can happen to an instance that adds an instance (or wildcard domain) block. I’d be very surprised if no instance has ever rolled back a block.

Users don’t need to worry about instance blocks on ActivityPub, any more than they have to worry about DNS RBLs for email.

if gmail could just randomly decide to stop receiving emails from outlook addresses and there’s nothing any user can do about it

This is the case right now.

There’s good reasons GMail doesn’t do that, but there’s absolutely nothing technical preventing from doing that, and I can’t think of anything that legally prevents them from doing that.

Using another ActivityPub-based interface is a LOT to ask for many users. They want a simple to pronounce name, they can stick in their browser’s universal bar and be on a sign-up page in less than 3 clicks without making any more choices.

There have been some complaints about Mastodon for years; both specific (“quote tweets”) and vague (get rid of shitty, often bigoted replies for profiles with a lot of followers or with a marginalized identity).

Mastodon largely hasn’t implemented them. Maybe Bluesky has. (I don’t have a BS account.)

But, for several reasons is a much worse experience for people with a large number of followers, especially if they are from a marginalized group.

Everyone should get off X, but I find it hard to recommend any replacement. Threads and Bluesky have problems, but they might work better than Mastodon for some people or organizations.

Hmm, maybe next time I’m buying games, I’ll pick up BL3 hoping it works on my Debian system through Proton or something.

Thanks for the info.

From the reviews I’ve seen (Outside Xbox), that’s the most you’ll get out of it. It’s mostly a nothing burger, “bad” is the best thing you can say about it.

BL2 still works on Linux, too. I can’t play BL3, which I hear is the better game (albeit with worse plot).
