implying the population is 90% white

any other moronic arguments you feel like posting?

I'm not even American so have little clue what these pageants are, but I think Kyube meant entrants being 90% white, not population. Not agreeing or disagreeing with 'em, I literally would not know, just wanted to clarify since it seems you lot misinterpreted it.

TopicCan someone help me find a "water enhancer" that has no sugar..

Check out "Tang", it is for making water more like orange juice but without any sugars.
If you can't store stuff in a fridge it might be a tad too much mucking about to make each time though.

Although, make sure you get the sugar free one, since otherwise it isn't sugar free.

Edit: Although, you do need to (from memory, been ages since I've had it) boil water for the initial mix. I forgot about that so this might not work out for ya anyway.

There's two problems with that, though.

1) If you lose the physical document, you can potentially be fucked (this is how I almost lost my 20-year old e-mail account earlier this year).

2) If you leave your written password somewhere that other people can find it, they now know your password as clearly as they would via hacking or social engineering.

Both those are absolutely true and valid cons of the physical note method.

Write it down on a physical notepad.


Which is exactly the problem with them.

I'd rather have a password that's super long and needing to be looked at but also less feasible to be brute forced, than one that I could remember mentally but is more susceptible to brute force.

But then again, none of this would matter if people simply didn't reuse the exact same combos on all their accounts. XD

The best passwords are the ones you create by mashing your keyboard repetitively.

Is taking the extra minute or so to meticulously re-enter such a code worth more or less than the money (and future money) stored on one's banking accounts?

Who am I kidding, pass123 is impossible to crack so why bother.


Actually, the best passwords are catch phrases instead of ones with the obtuse password requirements. The guy who designed the original requirements for passwords wishes he hadn't. He didn't read the actual recommendations he was given and regrets it now.

I didn't meant meeting minimum requirements, I meant long random strings such as tkmb+]&ny8sj8:?tisyn8]:8%*!{8*/bjts6

Those are also the ones you forget 30 seconds later, so their utility is limited at best.

TheGreatNoodles

Not sure, I used to always be fine with it but nowadays can't for too long.

One day after a really long assembly (was about 2 hours, due to special occasion + normal stuff) my whole right leg had fallen asleep. Kept falling whenever I tried standing and must have somehow landed/twisted my foot in a bad way, once the numbness left I felt really sore and sick.
Of course, people around laughed when I kept failing, but I'd have thought it funny too so whatever.

Luckily that was the last year I needed to sit cross legged, because the Year 12s (ages 17-18) were allowed to bring chairs.

TopicDo your hobbies seem like a form of escapism to you?
TheGreatNoodles
11/06/19 1:28:14 AM

Absolutely.

Art is escapism pretending to be a pathway to somewhere, so I feel like I'm making progress when I'm probably not.
Gaming is escapism used to fill in time + keep me distracted.
Social Medias (eg. Discord) is escapism to mask my lack of physical friendships. (Granted, I'm connected with people I knew from school so this one somewhat counts?)

Whilst I haven't seen the movie, nor have any desire to do so (I don't care for movies), just because something features the protagonist doing something 'bad' (or having certain negative traits) without then 'correcting' or punishing the character for such things, doesn't mean it is promoting or glorifying those things.

Then again, for all I know it might be promoting things. All I know about the movie is from people complaining about it.

Really? You don't get free sauce with your nuggets?


Googled just now since the concept of free sauce seemed so foreign.
Whoa, never realised the sauce is meant to be free from certain McDonald's. Usually it's always tacked on to try getting an extra 50c $1 from people. Or just the staff 'forgetting' you specified 'no sauce' when asked which sauce.
Granted, given I've always said no to sauce maybe the places that don't charge for sauce just simply always remember to not give any, that or confirmation bias.

Do you live in the U.S.? I've never been charged for sauce here. Most will charge if you want extra. But each order has always come with one cup of sauce.


Nah, Australia. Also... cup of sauce? I think we just get the small little packets here. But again, I don't ever order the sauce so for all I know there's also cups as well.

What do I put in these blue USB ports? I think they're 3.0s or 3.1s or something so very few of my devices work in them

Blue USB ports are indeed 3.0 ports. They are compatible with non USB 3 connections, it's just that if you had a compatible connection you'd use those ports for the advantages (speed I believe?).

That is, if I'm thinking of the same thing you are. That being a USB port with a blue ring around the inside?

If User B has User A ignored, they simply won't see my post at all since I quoted User A.

I played the game quite a bit myself, but never to that dedication.

From memory their PC died and they gave up on their goal.
