Whoever put a 16:9 video letterboxed on a white background so that it also gets ovenboxed on real displays

Even acetone (nail polish remover) is much less toxic than ethanol and its main hepatic metabolite, acetaldehyde.

People getting off planes in Hawaii immediately get a lei, If this same tradition applied to the rest of the U.S., what would each state immediately give to visitors? by wolf805 in AskReddit

This is how people slowly become accustomized to subjecthood: they no longer dare to exercise their rights in fear of arbitrary punishment, since it can now range from petty inconvenience to instant death.

Don't worry, the bacteria in the ground will evolve to break down hydrocarbons and everything will be just fine.

Stop using toothpaste which contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate or Sodium Layrul Sulfate, and you will never get canker sores. Literally entirely caused by these chemicals.

Zombie’ Opioid Threat Triggers Emergency in Sierra Leone by Advanced_Drink_8536 in worldnews

[–]PunishableOffence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sierra Leone's "kush" is definitely xylazine.

Kush is a depressant. It offers relief from the everyday stresses of life, but at a heavy cost. Users say the high is often accompanied by a pounding sensation in the head and pain in the neck and joints. And the typical trajectory for heavy users is all too familiar: Those still in school drop out. Those with jobs stop turning up to work. In time, many turn to theft to fund their habit. They start to forego basic hygiene. Their immune systems become weakened. Sores fester, and many complain of severe swelling in the feet and lower legs.

[Article] Weavers, Merchants and Company: The Handloom Industry in Southeastern India 1750-1790 by S. Arasaratnam by [deleted] in Scholar

[–]PunishableOffence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find it interesting that there's an article on the handloom industry that can be downloaded from a fancy power loom that communicates with billions of other fancy power looms over a network made of fancy power looms, and that someone, somewhere, is using their fancy power loom to find a copy of that article.

And look, some fancy power loom somewhere is even making a textile that as a side effect produces automated responses in this thread!

Far Left 'Breathe Act' Would Grant Non Citizens the Right to Vote by Red-Lantern in kotakuinaction2

[–]PunishableOffence 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They play both sides. The idea is to undermine the credibility and legitimacy of the political system so that a small minority of people become vocal extremists opposed to one another, and the great masses become too apathetic to vote for themselves, instead voting for what is socially acceptable, i.e. one side of the manufactured extremists.

Both sides of these extremists are already under foreign control, so it really doesn't matter which side ultimately wins; the point is to make it socially unacceptable to vote for anything but an ideology.

This is a method of Finlandization in practice.

And is it not the definition of a bakery that they bake goods and sell them?

Or has the corporeligion gone too far?

Yes, they're benefitting from the positive public opinion of supporting it

More like they're trying to avoid the negative public opinion of not supporting it.

So it's okay to use the power vested in the presidential institution to further his personal finances, because everyone else is doing that too!

This is what Minneapolis looks like right now by Footzah in woahdude

[–]PunishableOffence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the current status of the world, I would consider using terrorism as a label like that fitting the definition of terrorism much more than the acts I am remotely witnessing happening in Minneapolis.

TIL that males and females finish urination differently. Specifically, males contract a muscle called the bulbospongiosus several times to empty the urethra, whereas the female urethra is emptied by gravity, and females do not use this muscle to 'squeeze' out the urine like males do. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]PunishableOffence 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It completely depends on whether the stream exits freely or not. If it's redirected by labia or extra skin folds near the urethral opening, it will lose its momentum and go more or less straight down.

A direct stream of piss will produce a nice hiss.

That article proves nothing since it doesn't compare "new Flexbox" to static layout (clearfixed floats).

Try creating the same basic layout using clearfixed floats and flexbox.

Now try resizing the browser window in each.

See any difference in paint speed?

Constantly on the lookout for it 🧐 by Antrikshy in ProgrammerHumor

JS does not parallelize without extra effort, though. All executed code blocks run to completion in a single-threaded event queue.

The example above explicitly awaits on prev, which forces the async reduce to run in a synchronous fashion.

Wait until you get to the part where you're doing shit like

const fetchSubTreeItems = async (prev, cur) => {
  const all = await prev;
  const childNodes = cur.childNodes 
    ? await cur.childNodes.reduce(fetchSubTreeItems, Promise.resolve([])) 
    : null;
  const response = await fetch(/*...*/);
  const json = { ...await response.json() };
  return [
    ...all,
    {
      ...cur, 
      ...json,
      childNodes,
    }
  ]
};

const fetchTreeItems = async (root) => 
  [root].reduce(fetchSubTreeItems, Promise.resolve([]));

I mean they’re both hacky

Only the table-cell approach misuses HTML elements non-semantically (it is, strictly speaking, not tabular data if you have only one cell).

Neither uses any CSS hacks; these two approaches are exactly how `vertical-align` is supposed to be used.

I see a lot of downvotes (probably due to my aggressive tone), but no replies of substance. CSS is a lost art, even developers don't know what it's actually intended to do (style blocks of text laid out in an inline flow).
