Obnoxious is a bit harsh - I liked the feeling it gave to the article, found it very readable and I had no trouble discerning sentences, especially with how they were broken up into paragraphs.

Same - I wanted to recreate my school for Counterstrike because I knew the building so well and if I played it with schoolmates we'd all know it like the back of our hands and associate different areas with different memories etc. leading to a more unique (and probably funny) experience. It had nothing to do with violence in reality.

transfer.sh looks amazing (i was recently looking into self hosting a wetransfer alternative) - how can such a service be free and unlimited? I may cancel my WeTransfer subscription right away, unless there is anything else to consider? 2 weeks is fine for my purposes.

Who says they shouldn't be used for prose? Screenplays is one example off the top of my head that is ubiquitously monospace.

To be fair, the author uses the qualifier "may" and explains the desire for monospace and consistency. It's not like it's clickbait, the author makes a valid argument. Perhaps disregard sub-headings if it results in overlooking the nuance of the article's overall suggestions.

I found every answer frustrating, so sympathise with others who are in need of work who would have another tool that is detrimental to their search or disheartens them further.

Also, I tried asking for ethical companies and, after a follow-up question, it suggested Amazon, which I think is fair to say is debatable.

I don't understand enough to know why it's a bad idea but Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of adversarial behaviour, so this part seems clear to me.

I liked the panda game. Level 14 sure was tricky! But I didn't give up and was happy to complete it. 5 stars.

> Just a fun aside: when Canada invaded Afghanistan, there was a lack of the arid variant of CADPAT. It left soldiers to land in the brown and tan desert wearing vivid green camouflage designed for summer in the Canadian rain forests.

This is a (kinda funny) plotline in Generation Kill.

Agreed - I've been using it since Google Reader ended and have used it practically daily since. While they've implemented some limitations and premium options, the interface has stayed basically the same with some unobtrusive elements.

I did have to cull some inactive blogs at one point, to stay within my tier limit, but was happy to do so. Incredible that it's been 9 years with barely any UI changes - I think this demonstrates how effective it is.

Re:R.L. Stine and Ghostwriters (2012) on Wednesday June 22, 2022 @03:58PM (#31841075)
I inferred the blogger meant quality suffered when Stine was spread thin, which I'd agree with as an avid Goosebumps fan of that era.

It depends on the context, often it simply means "the accepted method" within an organisation or a community.

How come this person's blog isn't responsive / mobile-friendly? I'm sure that they're capable so I think it might be a choice, but would be interested to hear why.
Why is it arrogant or entitlement when there are several services which allow video uploads for free, never mind $200/year? If you look at her play counts and read her position, I don't think there's indication of her expecting "infinite bandwidth".
