I didn’t use mine a ton; I’ve mostly moved on to Bluetooth/AUX… But have driven both a 2001 Buick and 2012 Toyota with CD players in them and have no recollection of anything getting scratched up.

I read online that sometimes the insert/eject mechanism could scuff or scratch the CD. Any slot load CD player has this kind of risk.

Once it’s actually in the mechanism and playing though, it should be reasonably secure and there shouldn’t be much that would be able to scratch it.

Who knows, maybe I just got lucky.

They… Don’t though. At least, not in my experience.

CDs are read optically though

I think around 4 will do it. They say your stomach is what, two fists or so large? That seems about right

If the screenshot says it all they don’t want that, they want exciting leftist news

Yeah, that could definitely be cool.

Cost would be a big factor … Fandom got big by being free and eventually replaced (or heavily customized) mediawiki to the point it’s unrecognizable.

Thanks mate

I feel like I watched a documentary on this once and it was the safety bit… But I’d be curious if anyone comes in and tells me I’m wrong

I’m coming at it from “I’ve played a couple hundred hours of CSGO and a little bit of CS2 which is basically CSGO but with a couple of graphical upgrades and minor game play tweaks leveraging those graphics, like the bullets punch holes in the smoke.”

CSGO and CS2 seem more familiar than different, so it’s somewhat surprising to me that CS 1.6 would be fully reimplemented by someone. Normally that only happens when the game significantly changed (e.g., RuneScape changed its combat system and then the old combat system was resurrected under OSRS), so … I’m trying to understand what was that significant thing is.

So what’s the big difference between 1.6 and 2?

Basically the only option is to use Google messages on Android and the messages app on iOS.

RCS is hypothetically open, but in practice those are the only two respected implementations. Neither Google nor Apple has given sufficient API access to make RCS work outside of their respective apps on their respective platforms.

Nutritionally, it’s terrible either way.

I think your body would have a better time with it spread out over the course of the entire day. However you’re still absorbing an insane amount of sugar in a single day.

There’s a chance all at once would result in more of it being pooped out and thus be better … but it’s so close to just eating sugar I expect you’d absorb it and then your body would go into overdrive producing insulin.

Fine every now and then, but regularly it would be insanely bad no matter which way you do it.

More like MBA conduct … number must go up now!!! Not later, now!!!

Maybe just maybe Intel… You should consider sticking to the same socket for a longer period and generally increasing the long term value proposition. Especially considering the amount of stagnation that came from your company in the desktop space.

Kagi is more of a private search company than an AI search company, but you need AI in your marketing to get funding these days.

They have done a pretty decent job of actually making useful applications of AI though; their summarizer tool is actually quite useful. It normally at least gets the jist of the page or YouTube video you’re looking at.

They also have taken steps to protect user privacy with their privacy pass extension … and they’ve announced a Linux port of Orion is on the way.

I’d feel much better if Orion was open source; but Kagi does seem to be taking their privacy commitments seriously.

I don’t know for sure what we learned, but I remember my Spanish teacher talking about a girl from Spain that came to her class and didn’t do her work.

Apparently the girl wasn’t doing well in Spanish class and later accused the teacher of teaching “gutter Mexican.”

Which … honestly didn’t hit me as the flex my Spanish teacher seemed to be making it out to be.

0% have authority to stand against. Roughly 28% or something voted against.

That’s actually true, the American accent (excluding the southern accent) is the closest thing to the original English accent we know of.

The modern British accent and the Aussie accent that derived from it came to be in either the 19th or 20th century, I forget which.

An arc of electricity in a pitch black room.

The filibuster is a thing and that regularly prevents anything from getting done without 60 votes.

Obama in his book (A Promised Land) talks about this and how his biggest regret is not ending the filibuster as his first action because it proceeded to cripple his entire administration and agenda for the majority of his presidency.
