It's cool that when you pause a show on Amazon your entire telly becomes a huge gambling advert. That's a really cool thing.

** 2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be "sqlite_".

Those users would then do a ** Google search for "sqlite", find the telephone numbers of the ** developers and call to wake them up at night and complain. ** For this reason, the default name prefix is changed to be "sqlite" ** spelled backwards.

Here is an insane piece of lore inside SQLite's source code

I am researching VACUUM and I was studying their code. In VACUUM, SQLite creates a temp file prefixed with `etilqs_`

Here is why:

I wanna be very clear about what I mean about eugenics: "Orchid," which 'technical advisor' to this benighted website Why invests in, promises to screen embryos for "autism spectrum disorder". Besides being medically dubious, their business is the elimination of a whole class of human beings.

Bowyers Wood (where the beavers were released). Surrounded by villages named Nutley, Duddleswell, Fairwarp, Cackle Street, Horney Common and Heron's Ghyll.

Just looking on maps to see where the beavers have been reintroduced in Sussex, and village names in England are a whole damn thing.

SAM NEILL GENERAL JOHN MACARTHUR If you were to commit a murder, how would you do it? It's got to be big! No slipping something into someones drink, that's just pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a stain on the road. There's probably a couple of people I'd put under a steamroller, but I won't say who they are, otherwise when they see a steamroller coming their way they'll be on full alert. And steamrollers don't go very fast...

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

what if i fucking kill you

Scene from Simpsons. Homer and Nancy are in a soundbooth talking to each other. Caption reads "very few cartoons are broadcast live. It's a terrible strain on the animators wrist"

In the above case he's likely on 2s as well so going to 120fps would be 10 times the work! Ray would look like the skeleton warriors himself by the end.
(heck some old Hanna Babera cartoons would be lucky to get 3s!)

No to apps, no to the causes of apps. No to new accounts. No to intrusive questions. No, much against my instinct, to cookies.

All things considered, I really don't think I need 9 separate e-mails as well as 6 separate push notifications in 2 different apps for a single online order

i mean, who among us

A fake install screen for Microsoft Windows 95. On the left quarter of the page is a teal panel showing the old wavy Windows logo, with "Microsoft Windows 95" written up its right side. In the remaining space of the page, in black serif text on a white background, is the following text: Title: Enjoy This While It Lasts One of these days, the idea of just putting Windows on your computer will be a distant memory. Forget sharing a product code, your permission to use Windows will be stored on a centralized server where we can revoke your access at any time if we think you're not giving us enough money. Adware installed by the manufacturer is "unthinkable?" Better start thinkin' it, buddy, 'cause that's FAR from the worst thing we're shoving into your PC. We'll even try to make you use a fake digital person that plagiarizes art and books and also lies to you. Welcome to the future, motherfucker. You should probably just use Linux Mint instead.

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

British people end sex by slapping their thighs, sighing, and saying "right"

I had seem something a bit ago suggesting due to controllers being ready in warehouses but machine being a way off still they might pre-launch the controllers so sounds right.

Some twelve year olds are not carefree kids or rebellious teens. They are young people who have been forced to be functional adults for years, in twelve year old bodies. They have responsibilities. And that often means they need their phones.

Sad that I speak from experience.

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

Unless I'm mistaken, I think this is the most expensive package on Steam ever.

Game looks very basic.
