This got me curious whether the milk would be any different and, if I’m reading this study correctly, there’s practically no difference in content

Said study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7462406/

Don’t forget, from 2014 to 2021, they had George W Bush’s Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on their board of directors.

It would help explain Thor-Hulk vs Hulk-Thor:

Hold a “So you just lost access to the employee discount” sale on the Microsoft store.

Also, Dinotopia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinotopia

Not necessarily gaming related, but I remember their early coverage of every new Apple product as somehow more masturbatory than anything MacWorld put out. Then you’ve got their infamous complete mess of a PC build video and everything that followed that. I guess at least they aren’t written by AI yet?

There are a couple floating around out there, CNN/investopedia/Eat This Not That. The most scathing one I saw was from CNN, oddly enough: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/09/business/consumer-spending-travel-value-nightcap

It’s possible I just haven’t come across those types of comments you’re making fun of, but I usually just see people making the case that we don’t need new, possibly overreaching, legislation to handle these situations. They want to avoid a disingenuous “think of the children” kind of situation.

a youth court in the city of Badajoz said it had convicted the minors of 20 counts of creating child abuse images and 20 counts of offences against their victims’ moral integrity

I’m sure the chance at getting some with high lead content makes it taste even better.

It has an email address for people to send in pictures… I wonder if they did anything with them.

It’s great! I’d put it up there with other weird children’s lit like The Stinky Cheese Man and Strega Nona.

IIRC DreamWorks originally tried adapting the book directly but it didn’t really work so they kept some concepts and redid the entire story. Early designs of movie Shrek looked a lot closer to book Shrek.

I ran across software once that wouldn’t compile properly and the only documentation available was an archive.org hosted backup of an Intel help page that no longer exists. There is no alternative, Intel just removed it entirely.

No one even remembers Merlin

One of the Arrowhead community managers said they’re trying to get more information regarding regions, so it kinda seems like they weren’t fully prepared for this/got blindsided by Sony a bit. There should be an FAQ/QA with additional info coming soon.

Wasn’t that almost what happened with Bryan Lunduke? AFAIK, dude took a hard turn to the right after years of decent Linux-related advocacy and then nuked his social media accounts and tried to claim the opposite. Not sure where he’s at now, but it was pretty strange.

The main story is basically Journey with friends and cosmetics. It expands a bit as you complete each area, easing you into more difficult/spookier content, but it never gets too complex.

There’s also a bunch of secret stuff to find and all of the older seasonal stuff that remains after they ended.

Spoilers for sure, but the wiki is helpful: https://sky-children-of-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Sky:_Children_of_the_Light_Wiki

I still love that, for Everything Everywhere, he got Jeff Cohen (Chunk from The Goonies) to help him negotiate and sign his contract.

IIRC there used to be custom tilesets/graphics packs, not sure if they’re still maintained after the game launched on Steam.

My dad had the rare chance to name his position whatever he wanted, but the higher ups still rejected his choice of Grand Poobah.
