Why didn't you tell this librarian that you'd asked another librarian and they said it was okay to plug in? Why was none of this included in the original post?

Do you trust every one-sided story to be entirely accurate of all details?

And what does trust have to do with it? Can we use Ethernet here? If the person says no, would you just walk around the building until you found a port and plugged in?

The guy who posted that is pretty well known in this instance for being a reliable information source on events happening in Ohio. They're not just a random user.

The fuck Ohio.

Not really. It depends on what it is. There are entire games and items that aren't available in the US, but make a killing in Asia.

Like, here's Genshin Impact numbers from 2023.

On that game, the US comes in at 7th, is less than half of the top country (Japan) and is notably behind Switzerland.

For Tik Tok specifically, we can look at their annual reports.

Let's look at average annual users per region. 682M in Asia Pacific, which does not include China. 192M in North America.

China's numbers are 750M daily.

I don't think most of their money comes from the US.

Just watch video footage from 9/11 while the song is playing.

Most American bread has sugar added to it, even the 'healthy' stuff.

When I was trying to switch to healthier breads, I tried a Pepperidge Farm bread once. It was so sweet, it was like eating brioche, but it was marketed as just normal standard bread. Absolutely disgusting. I don't buy that brand anymore at all.

Why would you ever divulge your master password to anyone? There's not a reason to. Even if you die, you can set for someone else to get access to your account after X number of days, all without giving your master password.

I honestly don't know why anyone would buy a Bronco.

They're completely synonymous with OJ Simpson to me.

They would have to get through the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is already part of the state constitution after voters approved Proposal 18-2 in 2018.

I suppose that 13 bad actors could be randomly selected from the applications. It's not statistically impossible.

I was so happy I could get my cat off of Purina.

What is this even trying to say? Are they stealing? Are they cheating on a diet? Like, it's be your best, not be perfect at everything. Some days your best is just what it is and some days that's something else.

There's not enough context in this.

It's a lot easier for me to scoop 1/2 teaspoon of two spices, one tablespoon of another, and 2 teaspoons of a fourth than to measure 1.8 grams of one, 2.2 grams of one, 5.2 grams of one, and 3.8 grams of a fourth. The scoops I can put in the container and level off the top using the same container. The other way, I have to gently sprinkle or slowly scoop and sprinkle so it doesn't go over the required amount.

Way faster for me to scoop, level, dump.

Some people just want to complain about anything.

The Family Dollar is the closest store with basic essential groceries (bread, milk, etc) to where a friend's parent lives. The actual grocery stores are 30+ minutes away.

This just contributes to the increase of food deserts in some areas.

Well, then you have folks like my brother who was Kid B, but doesn't have ADHD and was just a lazy fuck who didn't see the point of schoolwork. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The average school is going to be built for the average kid to pass. That means more points are going to be in the day-to-day work rather than the big tests. So if your class has 500 points available and only 100 of those are tests, then yeah, you're going to fail when you only get 100/500 points.

However, if you have a kid B, then it's worth looking into if your area has alternate programs from the average curriculum and seeing if they would work for your kid.

You just take your shoes off at the door and put them back on when you leave.

Well, I wouldn't say that plastic surgery is intended to make you look beautiful. It's intended to alter your looks in the way that you prefer. All that matters is that the person getting it done is happy with the result. Not some other random person who isn't them.

Also, beauty standards change a lot. Just look at how fashion changed from the middle ages through the Renaissance and after. You can tell what features were important by how garments were designed.

I'm not a fan of duck lips either, but I also don't have to get them.

Someone that is wildly happy with their life is not thinking how life is so terrible and evil.

This isn't a zero sum game.

You can be happy and recognize that life is also terrible and evil.

The GI Joe movie was fantastic though and the height of the show. Not a jump the shark moment.

People like to find meaning in all sorts of things.

It's not like back in the day when an artist got big by their own merit

Back in what day? Small tribes where there was no collaboration with outside sources before the written word?

Nick Drake.

Years ahead of his time and while he gets a lot of recognition posthumously in certain music circles, he didn't have any hits during his life, or even any hits after, so the average Joe hasn't heard of him.

All three of his albums are fantastic, though Five Leaves Left is my favorite.

The US has limited hard braking? What city do they live in?

So yesterday?

but is there any compelling reason to switch to Windows 11

Windows 10 is set to sunset at the end of 2025.

Sending a singing telegram to someone who wouldn't be okay with that kind of thing is still a bad prank.

Both my and my husband's US cars already have all of the items listed as physical buttons. I don't know that it'll really change much.

We all played a game called Drug Wars. It was text based.

I don't know anyone who's used IRC in the last fifteen years at least.

At least back when I used IRC, it wasn't indexed either. It was just an alternative to AOL Instant Messenger or Yahoo Chat.

Likely not. His constituents are nutters.

You're assuming there's cabinet space after having a mixer, a crock pot, stock pots, a pressure cooker, an air fryer....

If your tap water gets that hot, you should probably turn down your water heater for safety.

Most tea drinkers I know use a microwave, a Keurig, or a stove kettle, not an electric kettle.

I only know one tea drinker with an electric kettle and they normally use their microwave.

Even worse, the men who figure things out tend to find a good partner and pair up, taking them out of the pool.

Why does this get an 'even worse' qualifier?

Wild cubs/kittens do though.

They're right next to each other.

Can you link the solicitation or grant where people can apply for this?

My mom grew tomatoes every year until she couldn't physically garden anymore.

They were still disgusting.

(Here's a study on the liver effects.)[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6549781/]

It doesn't specifically say that fructose has a worse effect on the liver than sucrose, but it does say that fructose is 2x sweeter than glucose, which makes it more addicting, which causes you to drink more because you crave it. So I went looking up sweetness scales and fructose is also sweeter than sucrose (which is still sweeter than glucose), sometimes by a significant margin.

So if both are bad on the liver, fructose could possibly be worse because of a higher level of addiction due to sweetness level, which causes you to consume more than you might with just sucrose.
