Not quite the same, but we do have “andfinally” for quirky and silly news.

Named after the tendency on TV to put lighthearted news pieces like these at the end, to give people something to smile about after all the depressing stuff.
Exactly this. The majority of super-popular names now will all be “old person” names in future.
In turn, the “old person” names of the recently deceased generations, like ‘Florence’ and ‘Edith’ are starting to reappear and be given to children again, because with that old generation dead they are freed from the old-people stereotype and seem good again. It’s cyclical.
Amongst all names, there are some which are conversely a lot harder to date. Names that are always being given, but never top the popularity lists. Names like Mark, Thomas, or Matthew. Harder to date people with names like these, because there’s always plenty of them.
It’s AIs ans automated systems all the way down at this point. No humans in the loop, just machines talking to machines.
Anything is possible, but it would be far more difficult to invalidate existing marriages than prevent new ones. Which is exactly why couples are rushing to get it done now.
You can only assume they believe that people won’t want to use that button much.
For a lot of people that’s surely a mistaken assumption, but in my case it would be pretty true.
I use an old macbook pro from work as my permanent desktop, in a closed configuration under the desk. Sometimes I sleep it, but I don’t ever turn it off. I only ever need the power button when something has gone wrong.
But they could have just put the button on the back. Kinda silly.
This is like the Minecraft crafting recipe for a Conduit
That, and a practical process of elimination.
Balance always looks good, in all things, so it’s desirable to have one hand on the left and one on the right, in a mirror of each other.
You don’t want to obscure the 9 or 3 positions because that’s where important elements like the day and date display will occupy.
You also don’t want to get too close to the 12 position because that would cover up the maker’s logo.
Wjth those constraints in mind, it’s a choice between like 10:10 or 8:20. Of the two, 8:20 points downwards and looks ‘sad’ and ‘droopy’ whereas 10:10 is upward and positive, and also acts like a frame to give the maker’s logo even more attention.
So 10:10 it is.
Well it’s 1 more than 3D so it must be better right???
Because then your browser would itself have to be a torrent client.
The way torrents download is fundamentally different from how a standard http download works, which is why they have a specialist implementation. Browsers dont want to bother bringing a whole load of new code and associated bugs into the browser to do a job which isn’t really connected with the browser’s main responsibility, which is browsing the web.
Just because torrents come from the web shouldn’t make it the browser’s responsibility to deal with them.
Pop!_OS is the next big
(It finished there)
Y’all got any of that ECC?
In the UK where this ticket is from, if you buy a ticket from the machine in the station it will spit it out in potentially multiple parts (because one isn’t enough space for all the information)
You can see this ticket says “Valid only with Travel Ticket”, which means this is the second of two parts. The “Travel Ticket” (not pictured) is the one that actually allows you to travel on the train, and the seat reservation part (pictured) is the one that gives you a seat.
Normally the machine only gives what you need, so if there is no seat reservation you’ll get the travel ticket only.
So the mystery isn’t that there is no reserved seat, but that because there is no seat, this ticket doesn’t even need to exist. The machine could have just not printed this ticket at all.
