Good one! Personally, Will It Blend was one of those memes that I just consciously ignored. Until I saw it on some actual television show. (quick digging: Modern Marvels, apparently.)

I for one... is obviously an old Slashdot meme that Digg people reheated.

Does anyone still remember the little football button that YouTube added to the video player? Good times.

I remember the last time I got messaged by some misogynist dipshit, way back in Halo 5, blaming me for losing the game. ...When he was the worst performing player in the team. I just stared at the post game report and wondered how the heck the dude even managed to get a ranking as low as he did.

I always preferred the C64C style keyboard where the graphics characters were in the top of the keycaps. This is my C64G (old breadbin style chassis but with C64C style colouring and keycaps):

Quick summary: You get the left graphics character with the Commodore key (bottom left corner), and the right character with Shift key. By pressing Commodore+Shift, you swap between upper case + graphics characters mode and the upper case + lower case mode, applying to the entire screen (so you can't actually use the right graphics characters in that mode).

Fun thing: To switch to another text colour you press Ctrl + number keys, with 8 colours available there, just as in the VIC-20. However, there's also another set of colours available with Commodore + number keys, for another 8 colours. I guess with Jack Tramiel's penny pinching, they didn't bother to mark those on the keys when making the next gen system.

Depends on the burrito. If it looks small enough that I can finish it without it starting to fall apart in my hands, then I probably can eat it that way. Most of the burritos in the local texmex places though? Yuge.

Frankly they should have nuked "OneNote for Windows 10" long ago and quietly replaced it with the Office version. Or better yet, not launch a separate version to begin with under the same name. But this is Microsoft, having multiple apps with the same name is just the norm.

AI business is owned by a tiny group of technobros, who have no concern for what they have to do to get the results they want ("fuck the copyright, especially fuck the natural resources") who want to be personally seen as the saviours of humanity (despite not being the ones who invented and implemented the actual tech) and, like all big wig biz boys, they want all the money.

I don't have problems with AI tech in the principle, but I hate the current business direction and what the AI business encourages people to do and use the tech for.

The first version I played was the Commodore 64 version by Mirrorsoft, which actually didn't use the Russian imagery.

The soundtrack was an epic 25 minute synth prog metal odyssey.

Commodore 64 is a very cool computer.

In SMITE's case, the characters come from mythological sources and those sources are public domain. However, the way they're depicted was chosen by the game developer and their depictions are copyrighted by them.

If someone copied the list of characters and made their own game with their own artwork and gameplay and everything, SMITE's creators could do absolutely nothing about it. But if they copied any substantial elements from SMITE directly, then it starts to go in the direction where lawyers start rising eyebrows. At that point it's no longer making original stuff based on the same PD material.

In Finland we have this one liquorice candy that looks like chalk. The school children yearn for the chalk. It's normal.

(Aluminium spoons immediately sold out)

Pro tip from a seasoned domestic train traveller from Finland: don't you go nowhere without a camping spoon/fork combo. Got a random military surplus one and travel has been smooth ever since. (Also have a table knife, a wooden mug, and a thermos mug. Oh and a Swiss army knife, but that's just regular every day stuff.)

I have no idea why the makers of LLM crawlers think it's a good idea to ignore bot rules. The rules are there for a reason and the reasons are often more complex than "well, we just don't want you to do that". They're usually more like "why would you even do that?"

Ultimately you have to trust what the site owners say. The reason why, say, your favourite search engine returns the relevant Wikipedia pages and not bazillion random old page revisions from ages ago is that Wikipedia said "please crawl the most recent versions using canonical page names, and do not follow the links to the technical pages (including history)". Again: Why would anyone index those?
