Weird, this is essentially the plot behind a Russian reinterpretation of LOTR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Ringbearer

Can't Thiel at least come up with his own bad ideas?

I use sync and it doesn't show the username while you are writing a comment. So I might not notice unless I look closely at the notification or at my inbox.

Oh wow maybe I need prosthetics too

Ok that's fair. I've just never heard of glasses referred to as prosthetics and assumed you meant some kind of artificial seeing device. Which is suppose is what glasses are but I was hoping for a more high tech answer.

What do you mean she is blind without her prosthetics? Isn't she still blind with the prosthetics or do they help with vision somehow?

But people will die if they have no HP

I'll go down this rabbit hole for you because I was also curious.

All lead mined on Earth naturally contains some amount of the radioactive element uranium 235, which decays, over time, into another radioactive element, a version of lead called lead 210. When lead ore is first processed, it is purified and most of the uranium is removed. Whatever lead 210 is already present begins to break down, with half of it decaying on average every 22 years. In Roman lead almost all of the lead 210 has already decayed, whereas in lead mined today, it is just beginning to decay. (Of course, many lead 210 atoms have already decayed in this ore, too, but the supply is constantly replenished by uranium in unprocessed lead). "The longer since it was originally processed, the lower its intrinsic radioactivity," Gonzalez-Zalba says.

That's easy to solve. We just give them an allergy service dog that warns about potential allergens and chases them away if needed.

Sounds like Tailwind is facing some headwinds.

I'll see myself out.

If someone else has to debug the problems caused by a parent naming their child with a special character, does that make the parent the bugger? 🤔

It's basically the same as doing it on the ground, except here you get hit by a train if you mess up.

GitHub is many things nowadays. Some people use it sort of like a blog where they can easily post long pages of text, sometimes it's the first thing that shows up in the search results when you search for a computer/phone problem.

I'm gonna sound old here but the younger generations are in general less computer literate than they were back in my day, and a lot of people have no qualms about downloading and running random exe's from discord or mediafire.
