Much like when we ask if bloodwine is made with actual blood.
Hungarian bikavér is not actually made with blood, despite the name (but it’s very tasty).
- Comment on Asking for a chocaholic friend 3 weeks ago:
Greetings from Switzerland! First of all, I’d like to complain that the Swiss flag in the image is incorrect, the correct Swiss flag is a perfect square. Then I can attest that the diagram almost certainly shows the effect of causation.
- Comment on Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” 3 weeks ago:
Funny thing: before the App Store, the original plan for the iPhone was that all third-party apps should be webapps.

Well, sure, but Freedman only joined several years and editions after my copy of the book was printed so I only learned about him today and in my mind the book is still just University Physics by Young, sorry about that.

to more obscure and risky providers who don’t care about the law instead
There’s no need to go that far, there will still be plenty of well-known and trustworthy providers who care about the law but simply operate outside of UK jurisdiction.
- Comment on Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display 2 months ago:
It’s kind of sweet that they write that you need at least RAM 1500 to get these ads in your truck, so that the solution simply is to install less RAM in your truck if you don’t want the ads. (I’ve never owned a truck so I don’t know how much RAM is normal, but 1500 sure sounds like a lot.)
- Comment on What to watch next after ST: Voyager? 2 months ago:
Enterprise has by far the best production design in all of Star Trek, the starship feels real. Don’t miss that.
(Unfortunately most of the scripts are seriously bad, but don’t let that make you skip the show altogether.)

- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 3 months ago:
That all depends on what you actually mean by “no other proximate reason”.
I think we all agree that the police should take immediate action if someone is driving the wrong direction against traffic, even if they’re doing nothing else wrong and are driving the posted speed limit, to take an absolutely obvious example.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 3 months ago:
The argument can literally be made that you’re driving dangerously no matter how fast you go.
Well, that’s certainly true also in every jurisdiction I’m familiar with, as it should be, common sense, really.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 3 months ago:
Where I live there are only upper speed limits on most roads except highways. On other roads you can drive as slowly as you want,
Are you sure that you really don’t have any traffic rules against causing a hazard or impeding traffic flow by being too slow? That seems both unusual and unsafe to me.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 3 months ago:
There are speed limits in both directions, in every jurisdiction I’m familiar with it’s illegal to drive both too fast and too slow, to exceed the posted speed limit or to drive so slowly that it impedes other traffic.

There is a certain poetic glimmer in reading the phrase “documents of magnificent verbosity that accomplish precisely nothing” in a document of magnificent verbosity that accomplishes precisely nothing.

So the real question is whether Photoshop might ever have become successful, if Adobe hadn’t bought it.
