- Comment on Companies with TLDs named after them is the best example of how ridiculously big those companies are. 3 days ago:
It’s so that you can approve .Google and only .Google .

“Well actually…” I understand that some of the large companies are leveraging it to ease filtering for customers. No one wants to block all .com, but you can opt to unblock/block all of .microsoft or .google, that would be useful.
Third or fourth hand information, so I don’t know how far along any of these companies in implementing, but… It kinda feels like they’re trying to build a centralized version a la CompuServe or Prodigy or even AOL over the internet that a company can choose to connect to.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 1 week ago:
Oh, I know. I’m not a little kid but I probably shouldn’t put them in my mouth. Honestly, I’d be more worried about my dog.

Switch cartridges also taste terrible, so simultaneously you need to put them somewhere to be sure you don’t lose them while switching cases AND you don’t want to make the mistake of finding out the hard way because you needed your hands free.
- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 2 months ago:
I - and since regretting it - rewatched the early MCU movies recently. The first time you really see Thanos mirrors the first frame, and the line immediately before he turns and smiles talks about how to invade Earth is “to court death.” Given the comic book version, I’m not sure they had the whole 50% motivation thought through yet.
I’m not sure they’ve thought it through yet, although I do like the argument elsewhere in the thread that Thanos did it to prove he was right, not to save the universe.

Didn’t the rest of the band mostly retire when she joined?

(East) Berlin would dispute the example for Deutschland. Ampelmann is an icon.
