storing a movie in RAM does not count as having a physical copy of the movie. While RAM is a form of physical media, the data stored in RAM is volatile and temporary. A physical copy of a movie typically refers to a more permanent and tangible form of storage, such as on a hard drive, SSD, USB flash drive, CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc.

Wow, I can’t remember the last time I rented a dvd. Maybe when Netflix sent physical dvds in the mail?

I see these machines at my local grocer and wondered if anyone used them. I guess the answer is no.

10 cents in 1887 is equivalent to approximately $3.37 in 2024, assuming an average annual inflation rate of 2.6%.

I only see a cup of coffee in the painting. Seems about right.

Cool painting.

Can I ask areal question? I’m not trying to be a dick or smart ass, I legit don’t get this. What is bullshit here? I read the article and it seems like a useful feature to me.

“this week, we will launch an opt-in experiment”

“those who have opted-in will have the option to access their preferred AI service from the Firefox sidebar”

Is this opt in only feature really terrible? Because as a user of ai, not switching tabs sounds like a nice new feature to me.

Did you read the article? Why would adding an option to use ai in a side bar require shuttering a company?

“this week, we will launch an opt-in experiment”

And

“those who have opted-in will have the option to access their preferred AI service from the Firefox sidebar”

I will say this, while this does seem like a weird combo, The US has a knack for transforming simple, low-quality ingredients amazingly delicious dishes.

I’d try it prior to hating it. It’s pretty good, regardless of the of cheese.

chimichanga is a deep-fried burrito. Its usually a flour tortilla filled with shredded beef, chicken, or pork, along with rice, beans, cheese, and seasonings.

My guess is pollo fundido. It’s like a chimichanga covered in cheese and creamy sauce.

there is a phenomenon known as “suicide contagion” or “copycat suicide,” where exposure to suicide can lead to an increase in suicide rates.
Typically this occurs with media, like when a celebrity is in the news for suicide, but I believe there is still a relationship in just talking about it, especially in younger folks.

This is one that I’m on the fence. To me it kinda feels like less advantaged people are finally playing the same game as rich folk. I don’t think it’s smart to go in debt over a vacation, unfortunately people do it all the time.

I mean, if you have no possible way of paying any of this back, might as well have fun before the house of cards collapses.

The govt is in massive debt. Tesla and many corporations are running a loss. Heck my city and school district is running this year with multi million dollar short falls, but somehow the city keeps spending money. The system is set up to run in debt. Everyone that has money, even billionaires, borrows money. I’m considered middle class, but am in massive debt because I bought a house and a car.

It kinda feels like regular people are finally playing the same game as rich people. Why use, and lose, your money, when you can lose other people money instead? What are creditors going to do? Take away the fun experience I had at Disneyland?

They can’t get me to pay back the debt if I have no job, or any future prospects for a job. Might as well have fun while they can, I guess.

I just feel for these folks when the rich, in the US, bribe enough politicians to brings back debtors prisons.

It should be against the law to hide these breaches. How can we protect our credit if we don’t know our info has been stolen? Ridiculous.

I think the title should read “Microsoft delays windows recall amid profit concerns”

While the concept of ranking choices is straightforward, the confusion and complexity often lies in understanding the counting process and how votes are redistributed in multiple rounds.

Chick fil a in Bellevue uses them. Another reason to not shop at chick fil a.

I don’t normally get to say this, but In my opinion gollum was the absolute worst part of the movies. Any scene with him, I simply skip. He just pulls me right out of the movie.

I have no desire to watch anything that focuses on this character.

The nfl can advertise alcohol, even celebrate it during half time, But god forbid one of the players enjoy some weed.

Fuck you NFL. I wish I could boycott more than I already am.

Wasn’t last years game of the year, Baldurs gate 3, a triple Aaa, single player, game that had an amazing story?
