Any game that’s “best with a controller”. I’ve never liked a controller, and I’ve tried those of the SNES, Sega Genesis, GameCube, PS1, PS2, XBox, XBox360, XBox1, Wii, & PS5. They’re all trash.

Hymen means membrane. -ptera is wing. They have membranous wings, and no carapace like beetles. Not named due to virginity.

My field (cryptography) is unlikely to run into this, despite having some advanced math. There’s just not that much use for anything in 2D, and abstract algebra doesn’t bother with things as mundane as “numbers”.

The US still dominates freight rail.

A US customary mile is 5280 US customary feet. 1 US customary foot is 12 US customary inches. 1 US customary inch is 25.4mm. So a US customary mile is 1609344mm, exactly. It derives from the roman “mille passus”, literally 1000 paces, where a pace is the distance between two impacts of the left (or right) foot of a Roman soldier on the march. Quite a few other cultures used a “mile” of some sort even after the fall of Rome, for example the old British imperial mile was 1760 British imperial yards, one British imperial yard predated the definition of the meter but was most precisely measured to be 0.914398415m, so the British imperial mile was 1609341.21mm. Other culture’s miles varied even more than this.

Cacio e pepe with macaroni as the pasta shape works fine. Not traditional, but far less heretical than this old repost’s creations.

Some salts smell. Table salt (what’s pictured in the meme) doesn’t have a detectable smell in solid form, not enough vaporizes to notice. Smelling salts are ammonium carbonate, not sodium chloride like table salt, and they do smell strongly. “Salt” can refer to either table salt or to any ionic compound whatsoever. The latter is chemistry jargon, but then gets used in colloquial terms like “smelling salts” or “salty licorice” neither of which have table salt but both of which have other ionic compounds.

When was that, 1980?

It’s tomato soup in a bread bowl with cheese. Delicious. Since the one of the first recorded uses of the word “pizza” is for a round bread flavored with rose water & sugar as the toppings, I think “tomato soup in a bread bowl with cheese” is close enough to qualify.

Bring together 2lbs flour, 2oz yeast starter, 4oz breadcrumb soaked in warm water, and enough salt. When the dough is made, let it rest, covered in a warm place to rise, as is done with bread. Then knead it again on the table for a half hour, adding in, little by little, 2lbs fresh (unsalted) butter. Knead until all of the butter has been worked into the dough and it has become soft, split the dough up into two or three pieces, and with each make the pizza in a tourte pan which has fresh butter in it. Bake it in an oven with melted butter on top. Make several holes on top with the tip of a knife so it will not puff up too much. When it is nearly done, sprinkle with sugar and rosewater. This pastry should be baked slowly and serve it hot.

Any company using insecure cryptography in any new product or service should be dissolved.

Of course they want to “own the libs”. They believe people get more conservative as they age, so kids have to be libs. And they definitely want to be able to own & trade children!

Why would anyone pick UTF-16LE? All the disadvantages of UTF-8, none of the advantages. The only reason to use it is when dealing with legacy systems that used it.

Code point order would be somewhat decent, but even better is to use the user’s chosen coallation order from their locale settings if possible.

The languages in a language menu should each be written in their own language. So German should be “Deutsch”, English should be “English”, Japanese should be “日本語”, etc.

The Miracle on Morgan’s Creek. I never liked it much, but my family did. Also The Princess Bride, but that’s not obscure so it can’t count here.

Music CDs or data? Music CDs have built-in error correction, data CDs don’t. You can certainly extend the lifetime if they’re stored in the dark in a cool, dry place (UV light, heat, and humidity all damage the dye that gets burned to encode them) but they’re not reliable archival storage without error correction.

They don’t last very long. About 5-10 years at most, and that’s if you bought special archival burnable DVDs. If you depend on them for backups, you should check the integrity annually (always include a checksum like SHA256 with any backup archive).

Humans are apes, and therefore we’re all ape furries. Since catgirls are girls, and girls are human, and humans are all ape furries, catgirls are furries.

When placing a knife on a magnetic holder, you lead with the spine then rotate until the flat hits the holder. The edge apex never touches the holder. It won’t dull your knives if you don’t slam the apex into it.

Non-stick pans tend to be made of aluminum (660°C melting point), sometimes alloyed with some copper to improve thermal conductivity. Aluminum-copper alloys tend to melt in the 500-600°C range. Most aluminum alloys melt at a point which an electric stove can easily reach if left on high. The coils can glow cherry-red pretty easily, which is 815-870°C.

DoH & DoT still leak the domain name (and of course IP address) you’re connecting to. The domain name leak can be solved by Encrypted Client Hello but that’s still a draft and not turned on for many servers.
