wallybeavis, in What are the facts you remember for no specific reason

Tegucigalpa is the capital of Honduras. No idea where I learned that

TechNerdWizard42, in What is this wire for?

It’s part of an IR Blaster setup. That looks like the “blaster”, aka the IR LED Transmitter. Most receivers have multiple ones to catch reflections and such

Provide them housing. It is effective and cheap in the sense that it can help a lot of people get back on their feet, which is worth a lot of taxes besides the basic human decency. Remember this until the next time you vote.

BlackXanthus, in Tips on making your data less sellable?

Choose an unclear gender (other, agender, etc) and your data becomes less useful. Marketing campaigns are based on broad categories, like male or female, so choosing neither lowers your data’s value.

Similarly, lie about your education and your employment. Pick a made up job, be a wizard, or a spaceman. Jobs, again, are wide categories, so nonsense jobs, the more niche the better, the less they have to market things to you.

In theory you can do the same with hobbies, but three points of data, even made up data, is sellable somewhere.

Lie, of course, if you can. I’m sure there are more denizens of Hell on Facebook than the real place.

Where possible, choose other.

A7thStone, in How was Rudy Guiliani as mayor of NYC?

It was said the only really dangerous place in NYC whole Giuliani was mayor was in between him and a camera, but that’s because he’s a narcissistic piece of shit, not because he improved NY.

I have made voice calls with this in VirtualBox from a Linux host. Lacking support for VBoxGuestAdditions, it is not a great general solution, as you cannot easily bridge the gap between host/guest, however.

I have not tested QEMU.

It is an aphrodisiac, but not a very strong one. Various types of nuts can be more benefitial to the libido than chocolate is… or a combo of them, yeah, that can also work I guess.

KInda stupid question, innit? If I still have it, I don’t think it’s a misconception. You’d have to tell me.

But then, anyone can make a mistake. Doesn’t make you a bad person. I make mistakes every day. I shouldn’t have said stupid, I should said… whatever they call it now. Meathead?

caturra, in What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

I’m amazed how people in Japan have some small squares instead of genitals, that must be advanced technology I haven’t seen in other countries.

littlecolt, in Can't we just start calling it "Formerly Twitter" instead?

I listen to NPR regularly and their people seem to like saying “Twitter, which is now known as X.” I dunno why though. I guess if someone doesn’t know?

Pratai, in Can't we just start calling it "Formerly Twitter" instead?

We should stop calling it.

besmtt, in Can't we just start calling it "Formerly Twitter" instead?

Just use the URL: twitter.com
