I lived in terraced housing and I used to walk across the steep rooftop of my house down to the neighbors. At the time I thought I was being cool, like my hero, Daredevil. Looking back on it now, it was ridiculously dangerous.
I lament the loss of quite a few of my parallel selves.
A guy who smokes 10 packs of cigarettes a day, and then switches 10 E-cigs is still harming himself with nicotine, and still paying money to those same Tobacco companies -- but he's no longer ingesting tar, and is slowly slowly weaning himself off the substance.
I thought of a few examples, but want some more. Don’t count songs with nonsense lyrics or instrumentals without lyrics. Don’t count bilingual songs (unless neither of them is English, or if the English portions are commonly omitted). Don’t count songs primarily popular among immigrant populations or others fluent in that...

Also, you're connecting to a nearby cell tower which then relays your connection to the wider web, with an exit point at your VPN provider.
If the nearby cell tower is compromised, they can try MITM attacks which might not need SSL authentication (e.g. you might have a backdoor on your device that does not require an external certificate to access it (in fact I would be surprised if it would)).
Doing this before would be illegal. Now it is legal.
I can spend hours lying on a sofa, hurtling out of my body and settling into the mind of a rich and influential person, where I then enact cruel world policies to further my web of intrigue. After they fight me for control, I tend to fly back into my own body usually just before dinner.
Looking for recommendations for a fan that is powerful but quiet. My couch sits in an alcove so I need to direct the cold air from the ac to me, but I am hyper sensitive to noise.
I've been looking for a fan that literally mechanically raises and lowers a large leaf-like thing (think Anthony&Cleo) in a pleasant wafting fashion. How does no such device exist?
Languages on the rise like Rust and Go are being quite vocal against inheritance and many engineers seem to agree. Why? And is it the fall of inheritance?
I liked the idea of inheritance when you need to define a single thing and spawn it multiple times, but each class required exceptions, too many overrides to count, and usually I would spawn a thing either once or twice in my code, or 15000 times - neither scenario being optimal to having that many objects floating independently about. Sometimes an assoc. array is all you need.
Y’all, he’s proudly displaying the entrails of a fellow M&M. What are the rules in the candy kingdom? Why are some M&Ms meant for eating while others have sentience? 🤔
They're like bird eggs. You can eat them before they're fertilised by M&M flonk. After that it becomes a baby M&M and is virtually inedible without protest.

I'd like to see a tighter Zelda/Link fusion, where Zelda's time powers are weaved more into Links combat.
A hard game where Link dies and dies and dies, but Zelda keeps rewinding time and bringing him back to life, where he learns from his mistakes (similar to PoP:SoT).
As the game progresses and the combat gets harder, Link gains the ability to slow down time in order to better plan his attacks as they happen. He's not moving super fast like the Flash when time is slowed, for he is slowed down too, but he can simply react better; dodge a sword by anticipation, plan a jump off an enemy's head with better timing, turn a dodge under a weapon into an attack in the same stride, all the while preserving his momentum.
By the end of the game, he can literally stop time, and he does so endlessly at the game credits, as its the only way to free Zelda from her time prison. Zelda and Link effectively switch places, and the next game is Zelda trying to free Link
Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?...
You don't know what was in the nuke, whether it cascaded particles to origin by some unknown yech. Calling it a "nuke" saves the audience technical mumbo-jumbo whilst conveying accurate intent, in the same way that a "phone" probably refers to a mobile phone that can connect with several tech frameworks, instead of a landline dial toner.
