Is this something we can opt out of, like how we can for Play Protect?

Rookie numbers, looking at the other replies.

Is the second photo just afterwards? Cat seems surprised by the size of their own yawn.

I’m guessing this is from the US perspective, since that’s not at all the European experience.

Windows 2000 was kinda NT 5.0, but brought in a lot of what made Windows 98 great. It was marketed as for servers and business users, but it was the most stable Windows so it was good for everyone. My university gave out these MS multi-install DVDs which meant anyone could use any Microsoft product, so most of my comp sci class was using Windows 2000.

Bruce Power cut into the roof of an operating nuclear station, hauled eight steam generators weighing 100 metric tons each (about 110 US tons) out through the top, and lowered brand-new ones into the same hole. Then it brought the reactor back online on June 8, according to Bruce Power, seven months ahead of schedule.

I was picturing some burly Aussie-Canadian lumberjack called Bruce Power doing all this without breaking a sweat.

Covid vaccination rates were higher in the UK than the rest of Europe and exposure to this fraud is credited as why. Brits had built up some immunity to vaccine FUD and had the lowest rate of vaccine hesitancy.

I take some glee in the fact that he’s not antivax, (just wanted people to use his) but now has to be a speaker at antivax conferences as they’re the only group who can stand him.

I quite like that it’s not an infinite firehouse of content - it means a limit to how much time I waste, unlike my Reddit days when I’d often block the site so I could get something done.

I must have been a very early user if only went live in 2009! It’s a great resource that’s always fast and optimally concise.

I didn’t know this backstory though, thanks for sharing.

This is still what I think of when thinking about GTA. Multiplayer had the arrows pointing to the other players, and sometimes a player would be barrelling towards you in a tanker, crushing everything in its path. Sometimes you had a bazooka and could shot at the arrow before that player came on screen. Great memories.

As a kid in the 90s, I was instructed not to tell everyone that my house had two screens, two Playstations, two copies of Wipeout and a link cable. It’s kinda bizarre how we never actually got that good at it, although the fact that killing each other was more fun than racing probably had a lot to do with it.
