A little later, but I have a key chain from a dealership that has their website advertised on it, they didn't have a domain name so it's advertised as http://123.123.123.123/web.htm

Heh. Does anyone remember when almost 25 years ago ATI (AMD) caught manipulating the Quake III benchmarks by renaming the executables to ‘quack’?

I feel like omitting AMD is relevant here for anyone who doesn't know the acquisition history of ATI, AMD had no involvement with this.

This title breaks my brain, I non-jokingly googled fettuccine to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. English is that hard for CNN?
`Walmart meatball meals may be linked to deadly Listeria outbreak.`
`Meatball meals from Walmart suspected in deadly Listeria outbreak.`
Edit: The craziest part is this has nothing to do with "fettuccine", as per the article:
"The U.S. Agriculture Department issued a public health alert late Thursday for Marketside Linguine with Beef Meatballs & Marinara Sauce sold in refrigerated 12-ounce clear plastic trays."
Was the entire article written by an LLM?
Molicel is top tier - their P50B is the best 21700 cell available on the open market. Eve, BAK and Ampace also make some really good stuff, although they can't match the performance of Molicel.
I came to the same conclusion when upgrading from 18650s to 21700s, I spent a long time trying to weed out the poorly binned rewards, and the minefield of lithium batteries. They weren't cheap but have been happy with their performance.
There are a lot of people out there that see 18650 or 21700 and think a lithium ion battery is a lithium ion battery and they're all the same (i.e. trying to pull 20 amps from a 2 amp peak battery). I miss one of the father's of liion battery education, Mooch (from ecigarettes forum) who had a whole methodology of testing, and educating people.
Agreed, I also use ChatGPT now mostly for searches, because it will pick the best sources that are not content farms, so I don't have to look through garbage to get a result. I started doing this about a year ago and was like "Oh, wow. This could disrupt search engines" and refer to it as "Super Google" now. I always have it link me to the source of what I'm looking for so I don't worry about it hallucinating, for common information I'm looking for reputable sources but don't know which `X` source has them for `Y` info.

Pretty actually. How hard would it be to include physical Playstation games by scanning the barcode or something like that?
For consoles it still makes sense to buy discs... they're discounted a lot more and faster than the digital versions.
And with me having a more than respectable backlog, I almost always buy on disc and almost always after it's discounted by 50%.
Pretty trivial, I built a browser scanner for my phone using a QR scanner library[1], while browsers are contemplating adding an API natively.[2] You would just need to use a lookup service for the UPN of the game title.

An interesting peculiarity of the speedrunning community is that there is also a large component of "the community vs the game" mattering more than than "runner vs runner".
That is very accurate, whenever I was dethroned from a position (legitimately) I was happy for that person and challenged me to find a better way to complete the run.
Although the games I've done are very niche and have small moderation teams.

An army of pharmacists ought to do the trick!
A dying bread of them, perhaps before they retire.
I haven't seen a prescription pad in a decade, it's all electronic now in my part of the southern US, my current pharmacist is so young I don't know if they would even be able to read some of my previous providers writing.
