That fact that this is coming from a lemmynsfw.com account is beautiful

The feature itself is fine, the fact that it’s literally in between you and turning regular shuffle on and off is incredibly irritating

I think we have the same cat

Little scam artist is getting himself double dinners and still looks that good

The article says that the Ministry has suggested students use other programs, so it sounds like it’s just something students often use rather than something that’s actually required. I’ve not been in school for a long time, but I am doing a distance learning course and when I had to submit some written stuff I definitely found it more comfortable to type it up in an actual word processor than the web platform that only showed about a paragraph at a time, so I did that and then copied it to the web platform.

Well you see, the UN’s logo is actually a top-down view of Earth. Apparently. Because they can’t keep a conspiracy secret without leaving some clues in the open for kicks.

True, but the octopus does not actually have any hands. As such, the octopus has no guns, and is one short of the minimum necessary to shoot the cat

I think you’ve misunderstood the comment above. They’re asking why snapshotting DRM-protected content would be a problem if everything stays local, implying that since it’s a problem it does not stay local

It’s nothing to do with it being an acronym, it’s just because the first sound pronounced is a vowel sound. Similarly, it’s “an FPS”, “an ATM”, and “an SUV”, but “a PPV event” and “a USB stick”

I’m going to assume that the ladysitter is the most responsible friend on a hen night

The Wrong Trousers (1993)

That was the wildest half hour of video I have ever watched

I don’t feel comfortable putting that much important stuff in one thing. If I lose my phone or my wallet, the other can do a lot to help cover for it until I get a replacement

After all, how else am I to appreciate the tits that I now have?

I was definitely assuming the cat would be facing the other way

Here’s Alaric. He made me panic when I first adopted him because it seemed like he was refusing to eat for several days. I then discovered that he had found the bag of cheese treats, hidden it behind the sofa, torn it open, and eaten nothing but those the whole time. He also dislikes hearing voice calls for some reason, perfectly happy to sit on my lap while I watch a video but will get up and leave if I go on a discord chat or take a phone call. Those big ears of his can apparently tell the difference, even when I’m using headphones.

I love this little guy. He is a blessing.

Ehhh it’s a mixed blessing with China. The country’s power consumption increased by an average of about 1,100 TWh per year during 2012-2022, which is outpacing the newly-added solar and wind generation in the article by a factor of four. It’s great that they’re adding so much clean power, quite the opposite that they’re adding even more less clean power

Edit: I should add that these numbers don’t specify hydro or nuclear capacity added. Not all of the gap is fossil fuels

The first Japanese embassy to America even landed in San Francisco in 1860

It may well be that you loving spicy food is protecting you. I imagine the exit hole can develop a tolerance in just the same way that the entrance hole can

I think the geography and history of the region is playing a part here. These castles are at chokepoints, it’s just that they are water chokepoints. Eilean Donan sits at the narrowest point between the sea and two large lochs, and because the highlands are basically nothing but hills and lochs the easiest way to get around there for most of history was by boat. I’m less familiar with Ardvreck, but it looks like the waterways are navigable from the sea up to the point of the castle, and the castle controls the best place to embark or disembark.

Additionally, most of these castles were for handling other highland clans and conflicts between the lowland-based government and the highland clans. They weren’t trying to stop the full weight of a massed French invasion. On that smaller scale, there’s less likelihood that someone will be willing to properly siege you out and even less likelihood that they can do so when you can just take a boat to the other side of the loch.
