The boy said, “My name’s Johnny and it might be a sin
But I’m gon’ take your bet and you’re gonna regret
I’m the best there’s ever been”

He’s boasting about it before, and gloating about it after. But the devil is expected to sin, so it doesn’t matter. Johnny on the other hand knows he’s being boastful, and goes and does it anyway.

Johnny having a massive ego about it is a great sin of Pride, and so the devil ends up getting his soul anyway.

The downside to that is that you have to be reading white text on black background, otherwise it’s the same as if it was backlit, and the text itself is lit up. E-ink displays require external light sources.

There was steel rationing for the war effort during WWII, so they stopped using steel to make pipes. Then it wasn’t until the 70’s that they decided to ban the use of lead pipes in new construction, but never forced anyone to remove their existing pipes.

At my previous apartment, I had a city employee test my water. They let faucet run for about 10 minutes, then took a sample and got basically immediate results and told me the pipes were leaded. If that’s all it takes to test positive, then the protection can’t be that effective. The tech was in my apartment for less than 15 minutes, and 10 minutes of that was just letting the faucet run.

They tell us that there is no safe amount of lead, and they can detect the presence instantly. That tells me there’s not much protection. Even if it takes 10 minutes to get past that protective layer, after taking a shower your water wouldn’t be safe anymore until there’s another buildup.

Agreed, just clarifying for the tl;dw gang just clicking for the headline.

Also it’s 100k hours combined use over 50 printers at once, not one printer for 100k hours, which would likely be much more problematic.

How hard is it to follow the fucking laws and NOT get fined?

Most of the buildings built here since WWII and into the 70’s have lead pipes. There’s a push to test water quality in homes, and to have the pipes replaced, but in the meantime I use a Brita pitcher with a lead filter.

It’s a ~10% increase, but the scale makes it look like the count shot up by 10x at first glance. I know that’s why you always need to look at the axis labels, but graphs like this are purposely presented this way because they’re easy to misinterpret for the average person.

Currently, they don’t even give you that choice. They’re the ones making that decision. Sure, you can buy it, but you don’t get to decide if you want to play their game longer than they want you to.

The goal is not to prevent you from agreeing to bad terms, it’s to prevent the companies from imposing those bad terms on people.

Would you rather buy a game that you know is going to die in a year, or the same game but that can be played for as long as you want?

Would you rather companies keep making games with a short expiration date, or games that people can keep playing if they so choose?

It’s a toxin that temporarily paralyzes the areas where it’s injected.

If you use a strip of parchment paper at the bottom of the pan and leave the ends sticking out of the top, it’s easy to pull the loaf out safely.

It’s as good a place as any. Just make sure you clean up when you’re done.

If it’s just for gaming, you really don’t need the absolute top of the line in terms of CPU. I can’t think of a game I’ve ever played that maxes out my CPU on all cores.

Unless you’re also using it for CPU-specific and intensive work outside of gaming, you won’t gain much from spending more money.

Mine aren’t as bad as those in the picture, but at -7 wearing glasses I can see perfectly. There’s just slight distortion at the sides that’s not really noticeable unless I’m moving my head to the side.

Guy’s a psychopath. Even when trying to look like he’s smiling, it looks off.

Like he’s figured out how to move his mouth into a vague smile shape, but his eyes look like they’ve never really smiled before.

The middle looks normal, but the edges curve, kind of like a fisheye lens on a camera. If you look straight ahead, everything looks normal until you start to turn your head, then everything sort of squeezes into focus as you shift your field of vision.
