What makes this even worse is how Chrome now hides “https“ in the URL box until after you click the box, so when you double click “www” to rapidly select and replace it, the first click shifts the “www” eight characters to the right and the double click highlights “https” instead and you are sent to a broken link like “old://www.reddit.com” and need to go back and try again.

Venmo are cunts, they banned me for life and refused to explain and basically treated me like a terrorist. All I did was send money to various people once in awhile to be nice to them. That was it. I hadn’t even used Venmo for 3 months when they banned me out of the blue with a menacing email about how my activity set off red flags. Like they really went out of their way to be dicks for no reason, it was astonishing. If anyone from Venmo is reading this, go fuck yourselves.

The actual title is “Chinese scientists guilty of ‘researching while Asian’ in Trump’s America”. It was also submitted with that title. Pretty slimy of the admins to change it just to rationalize keeping the submission up. The title is obvious bullshit because no one in Trump’s administration would have a problem with Japanese scientists “researching while Asian”, because Japan is our ally. Fronald Toompf destroyed yet again, right guys? Stop fucking turning this site into reddit please.

That video does not show the removal of the harness.

Why can’t we look for moving dim spots in the cosmic microwave background?

Is gravity actually a problem if the colony is underground and the asteroid is spinning?

How does selling the gear help if the buyer is going to use the gear?

Why would you design a site like this? There’s no reason for the content to be hidden when you scroll to it. Why should the visitor have to wait and see if anything fades in? Either make it a video presentation or make it a proper website. Don’t do this weird mixture that’s the worst of both worlds.

Not really. It just finds what’s closest and then blurs everything else with a depth-independent uniform blur.

The unused parts of the script of James Cameron’s Avatar are interesting. Everyone is forced to eat algae.

I have no friends or family here and am too socially crippled to make friends I would ever trust. I need a harmless procedure completed and doctors refuse to do it unless I have someone else with me who is willing to drive me home afterwards. Uber/Lyft/Taxi is not allowed either.

A Dyson swarm essentially attempts to completely surround a star with solar panels. Infrared wavelengths would then be uncontrollably radiated out into space by the overheating solar panels.

GDPR requires you to “prove” you gained consent by creating a server-side timestamped log of the option each user chooses.

But you cannot see my comment because I was hellbanned, so enjoy wondering.
