I would love to know how much of a roll that meme played in her choice of degree. Like, in the parallel universe where everything is identical up to this fire, but this picture wasn’t taken (ie, the camera didn’t work or something), did she still choose that degree?

I mean, OP provided a source link.

In the third paragraph you mentioned “tux” but I’m guessing that you meant “tmux”. Just a clarification for readers not familiar with it and want to look it up.

I don’t understand.

“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said.

So someone can just make your iphone inaccessible for a decade and you can’t override it or log in, even if you have the passcode?

On the Apple Support community, one user reported their iPhone had been locked for 50 years. Similarly, a post on 9to5Mac’s forum mentioned an iPhone disabled for “23614974 minutes”—about 45 years.

I’m sorry, what? I guess I’ll just add this to my list of reasons I’m glad I use Android. JFC.

Don’t take it so literally. It’s got good alliteration and rolls of the tongue.

Bigot Burger

A car stopped in front of their home – the same one they’d had for the past 30 years

So, he arrived in the car they’ve had since he disappeared…

The car allegedly raced off before anyone had a chance to question the driver,

… and then someone stole it???

Edit: Ohhhh, it’s the same home they had when he disappeared. 🤦

In this narrow case, it’s considered proper/correct to pronounce the “x” like an “sh”, which greatly improves the tongue rolling.

… or xitter.

I don’t think any of those people are being relocated to Texas.

I hate to say it, but I’m inclined to think that the Russian government may simply block access to Firefox (and the Firefox addons site).

Probably true, but that’s not justification for Mozilla to save them the trouble by doing it for them.

Link is to the second page of the article. I thought it was odd how it kept saying “Smith said” without identifying who Smith is.

How would they know now? It’s the same answer. Stop being a dick.

IANAL, but I feel like if the heirs to an estate cared enough about the deceased’s Steam account enough to get the court involved, Steam wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. But that’s probably what it would take to get them to do the right thing.

failed to apologise for or denounce

Anybody can denounce another person’s shitty opinions.

ETH abandoned the trustless part. Now you’re supposed to trust the validators. Clearly, you can’t.

FYI. The quantity of bees in a hive has more to do with their ability to find good food sources nearby, and the suitability of the place they’ve made their home, and nothing to do with their temperament. That size hive would not be considered particularly remarkable in an apiary. A “swarm” of bees is actually just a bunch of bees that split off from a successful hive and are looking for a new home and are typically very docile. Since this colony had a home (these people’s house), it was technical not a “swarm.”

It’s not that uncommon. When a beehive is doing really well, it’ll “split”, meaning they’ll raise a second queen and the new queen will leave and half of the colony will go with her to establish a new hive somewhere. This is called swarming, and it’s the their version of reproduction. (Tangent: Contrary to popular belief, honey bee swarms are usually very docile since they don’t yet have a home to defend.) Once they find a suitable location to settle, they’ll move in. Without humans building things, a suitable location would usually be something like an old hollowed out tree. But humans build great beehive homes. Old houses with small openings between siding panels that allow bees into the walls are a common favorite.

So, 14 misspelled variations + 1 correct spelling variation = 15 total spelling variations.
