the stuffed crust is prepared as a calzone but becomes sushi once the pizza is sliced.

Critics didn’t necessarily go to film school, but they see everything under the sun, so when a movie doesn’t do anything particularly new or is highly derivative without adding its own twist, it bores them. The person who goes to 3-5 movies a year doesn’t care, to them something derivative of 10 movies they haven’t seen is still new and fresh. This is in addition to the technical competency component you mentioned.

I watch a ton of movies so my tastes are more likely to align with those of a professional critic.

tbf perl nerds still are some of the nerdiest of nerds

it’s kind of shocking how bad motorcycles are at fuel efficiency given how much less mass they have to move

i’ve had real italian pizza, in italy. it was fucking delicious, but it doesn’t make the best pies i’ve had in places like new york or chicago taste like cardboard with sauce. some places in nyc can absolutely go toe-to-toe with italy.

it is pretty obviously a joke at dominos expense

how would you expect something like windows update to function without elevated privileges?

activation nagware

what?

I don’t follow. The cooler designs on modern midrange and high end GPUs are way bigger and more elaborate than anything that has ever shipped on a $150 GPU.

I like not having to worry about a leak destroying all my expensive hardware.

because that isn’t really how these things work. It doesn’t matter how secure your operating system is, it can still get infected with malware if you let the user download and install arbitrary software. every modern desktop operating system that allows this has this hole.

features that pop up warnings when running code not signed by the OS vendor (like Windows SmartScreen or macOS Gatekeeper) help to an extent, but are not magic bullets since users can still override them.

at the end of the day, the best defense is to make sure you actually trust any software you download before running it.

OP still uses Windows XP.

most windows programs haven’t run as root in over a decade.

a program only runs as “root” in one of three situations:

1. The app manifest says it is a requirement.
2. The executable does not have an app manifest and has the “Run as Administrator” compatibility flag (only applies to apps built for XP or older).
3. The user manually invokes the program with super user permissions (right click and “Run as Administrator", or manually set the above compatibility flag).

We’ve also gone from people needing to be independently wealthy to even think about creating great music to just needing a cheap computer. Music hasn’t gotten lazier, the barrier to entry has just gotten lower meaning there is a lot more being made across the quality spectrum.

I agree about Charlie Brown and the Rankin/Bass TV specials, but It’s a Wonderful Life is a great film that has stood the test of time.

I could never be comfortable with myself knowing I was facilitating the transmission of CSAM.

i don’t know anybody who has gotten married or fought in a war before the age of 18. we don’t even let people drink or smoke until 21.

history is with me on this one.

you seem like the kind of person who is OK with saying only white men should be allowed to own land or vote

i don’t get it

he talks about why he didn’t do that in the video

hey now most of that stuff is wrong and should be shunned but i see no problem with human sacrifices
