The ninetees WERE really fuckel weird in certain circles. It is the decade that gave us pro-ana forums afterall. Never really applied in this way to grown men though.

Not for legitimate medical purposes, it wouldn’t be. US Healthcare and Science are fully Metric, just like our Military.

Could do only-odd numbers if you wanted to be squirrely about it, but I think most people would get more inquisitive upon never seeing a zero.

You can legally send 500mL at a time, you just have to package it properly, and I believe you have to declare it.

That’s how I read it, yeah.

Scrape*, for your title.

Meanwhile, preventing un-paid scraping was a big part of Reddit’s rationalle for their en-shitification, ie, charging for API access.

I would rather train an AI indirectly for free than ask random Instances to run interference, which IRL works out to be pay-walling and selling user content.

By asking Lemmy Instances to “prevent AI from seeing my content”, all you are really asking them to do is to slap a price-tag on it, and hire lawyers to pursue companies/users that don’t pay. Not pay you or me, but them.

Sounds like DOS doesn’t keep time in increments any smaller than 2-second intervals. Double your 0-to-29 value whenever asked to provide time with seconds. Done.

Note: this is off the top of my head, with no in-depth knowlege of actual DOS time-keeping beyond that provided in the OP. I’m interested to see how many versions DOS went through with this time-keeping method, and what value any of this provides beyond querying the system’s Real Time Clock.

If I were forced to choose … yes, it would be the ones that build dams just to keep everyone else away from their homes.

Also phone number and address, none of which is being exposed like so, save name and maybe birthdate.

The water one is definitely false. You just have to dry it and add cooking oil right away.

Steel wool or a Brillo pad, on the other hand …

… and if so, a key/password is not legally protected. Have Lexmark’s bullshit to thank for that precedent.

Location?

He knows what he’s about.

Can’t use coins in a lot of places as well.

Anon also forgot to lead with “be me”…

There be no blasphemy or deception like using a plastic banana rather than whatever random banana they have at your local store.

I respond by hoping I’m a girl in this scenario. Anon forgot to specify.

Residential towers at that…

Nowhere local stocks the parts to repair most second-hand items. Parts for older items are often hard to find because they are no longer made. I mean, you’re replying to someone who builds repairable versions of such items. Why do you think that is necessary?

Do you have the skill-set to do as they do? I do, and yet, I assure you, skills, a 3D Printer and a friggen machine-shop at my disposal can only do so much to compensate for a supply chain that has been absolutely gutted and continually re-worked to force consumption, and of products from the far end of the globe, at that.

Yeah, dial-up isn’t the part I miss.
