Sooo they turn into racist slowly? That's still not cool.

Holy shit, this is much better than the original!!! Damn, I should rewatch the series like this. Where can I find all of it without the laugh track?

Edit: I have to add, the long pauses make it a bit annoying. With the laugh track the pauses aren't noticeable (to me at least; my girlfriend did notice the long pauses even with the laugh track, and it was annoying to her).

They say, nowadays nearly any laptop you could get is garbage due to insufficient cooling. Maybe they look promising at first, but you cannot use them for longer than 2-3 years, because the components simply get cooked inside. The only ones worthy of spending money on are the business-grade laptops, but they're crazy expensive (for a good reason). Therefore you should probably look for a used one, maybe from a company dealing with refurbished devices. Sometimes it's possible to get one that had been used for like 6 months, and you still have a number of years of warranty on it.

My personal favorite is the ThinkPad T, P or X series. Those are quality products, and there are official video guides, spare parts for self repair. I've also read about bad experiences about a T580 (I think) here, on lemmy, but the circumstances were unclear to me. They wrote about a bending motherboard issue, when you pick up the laptop holding only at the corner.

Framework laptops are also recommended a lot, but I've never gotten my hands on one, I don't know their build quality.

Do you remember 9gag? Some of you certainly do. Anyway, during those times they created another app called 9chat, later renamed it to Cookie, and later renamed it back to 9chat again.

Well, we met there, on 9chat/Cookie.

There weren't an insanely huge amount of people there, and there was a section for newcomers to upload their selfie and/or introduce themselves. And I found this gorgeous girl there, started to text her, and to my surprise, she actually replied and didn't even ghost me.

We had a nice conversation there, and we continued on WhatsApp, and three months later we met in real life too. This was 7 years ago, and sadly we're still in LDR, but the most important thing is, we have each other.

What could be the best possible way for Malaysia to commemorate the tragic event of MH17 on its 10th anniversary? Joining the terrorists who shot it down, right?

Everyone should invest that time.

You can do just that. Before you begin the quiz, there's a link to skip the quiz and directly enter your preferences.

I'm not from the US, so I don't know how accurate this is, and I also don't know if this thing has ever been updated (I found it a long time ago), but there's this tool that might help with deciding: https://www.whereshouldilive.co/

 

Scrum is an agile framework that, if applied properly, can boost the efficiency of teamwork. It is known to be versatile enough, so it could be applied in basically any sort of productive teamwork, even beyond IT (e.g. bakeries, government organizations, etc.)

However, I've never ever seen it being used anywhere else other than in software development, therefore I've always been curious if Scrum is actually being used outside of IT somewhere.

Water; yes.

Downvoted for the stupid title. Well yeah, it's not a lie. But it's unnecessary to create panic around it at this point.

The tremendous amount of issues with the 737 Max and its certification process have already been identified and rectified, and the already manufactured aircraft were also fixed, and the ones responsible for the disasters are (hopefully) punished.

While I'm not a Boeing fan myself, I guess, by now it's safe to fly.

Apart from what some commenters already pointed out (about the orientation of the roads there), I'm not sure how it's going in the US, but in Europe, we have a hierarchy, where the sign on a pole takes precedence over the sign painted on the road.

The hierarchy is:

  1. Police officer's hand signs
  2. Traffic lights
  3. Signs on a pole
  4. Signs painted on the road

According to this, you cannot turn left, even though it looks like a left turning lane.

Is there such a thing in the US?

I have a broken scroll wheel (which happens every 5-10 years, whenever the lifecycle of my mouse reaches its end), and I feel the pain every freakin time I wanna scroll.

Nowadays with such high-resolution screens I just can't understand why it's needed to make those scrollbars so narrow.
