Was CD video compressed? I thought it existed at the same time as DVD but cheaper.
That's Video CD. It existed before DVD but survived alongside it (mainly in Asia) as a cheaper alternative.

Cyclists on track bikes going 30+ mph on mixed use trails are almost as bad.
You either ride responsibly or you're a selfish asshole. The vehicle doesn't matter as much.
Over here track bikes are not road legal and people who can legit hit 30 mph for any amount of time is maybe 1/1000.
Any 12 year old kid that can convince their parents to buy them a $1000 Chinese e-bike can hit 30mph with no effort. In no way are sports cyclists as bad a problem.
Holy 3-6mg of caffeine per kg is a shit ton. That’s 2-4 cups of coffee for me!
4 cups of coffee is considered a lot?
That seems like a lot to take daily. Most studies have settled on loading isn’t needed and 5g/day is enough.
I just take 5g/day with my morning coffee/water.
If you're taking your coffee hot wouldn't that denaturate the creatine?

Endpoint software is a blight. My company's M2 pro should have flown through the things i subject it to. But simple things like linting on many files is slower than my 8y old pc on a sata-SSD.
Often the software itself is fine but it makes it possible for the IT department to configure performance killing behaviours.
SHA hash every file you open, execute specific actions if the a opened file or process matches specific heuristics, log everything.

> Japan’s minimum wage ($6.68 an hour) is similar to America’s ($7.25).
But does anyone actually make minimum wage in the US? Statistics i can find suggest it is around 1% with Japan closer to 20%.

i considered it, but the gym was a much better option.
for everyone who says "i've tried etc doesnt work" all i would say is, possibly if you dont have the time due to kids etc.
Otherwise, get to it!
You can't out excercise a bad diet.
You can hit the weights for 2 hours straight every day and eat those calories back with a single bad dietary choice (like a handful of peanuts or a single large cookie).
That's true. I wasn't clear - I was thinking mainly of the Office products: Word, Excel, etc. They've got a whole different Save As dialog that go out of their way to funnel you into OneDrive. So it's interrupting my flow precisely in the course of things I need to use brainpower on themselves.
Additionally if you don't save on Onedrive autosave is disabled.
Autosave worked decades ago before we even had cloud storage, but apparently in 2026 we just can't have feature parity with Word 97 without cloud storage.
Interesting. I did not know France had so many laws limiting freedom of speech in regard to defamation. I am not a lawyer, but I think that in the US this would be allowable if you actually believed what you were posting about Mrs. Macron was true.
US is the exception when it comes to freedom of speech. In many countries you can be convicted for defamatory speech even if it is true.
