Go back to the way things were. Static ads that aren’t obnoxious and topical to the article or audience of the site might keep the few that haven’t turned on adblockers from doing so. Engage users, don’t insult them and get your demographics by opt-in surveys. Offer subscriptions that give benefits. Ask for donations. These things are all possible. Maybe get rid of some C suite types and keep your organization small and lean and just pay the journalists and editors (and support staff that actually create the content/keep the blinky lights on).

To hell with the megacorps and ad execs that have ruined the internet.

I think it's been like a couple weeks at least since I finished a Connections.  Literally went in dreading it today.  :|

Edit: I just realized after reading the other pturn’s reply I apparently was doing yesterdays puzzle. Weird, didn’t realize the game was time zone sensitive I guess?

The first trailer will drop and exactly 30 minutes later someone will upload an overdub with Jeff and IT WILL BE SO MUCH BETTER.

Damnit! Who let Socrates in here again? /gets broom and starts pushing

Shoo! Begone philosopher! Nobody likes your kind!

I just want to say this YouTuber got a sub from me last night. Went into his back catalogue and recent videos were really good and I learned a few nice things.

Regarding fc1.1, I really like the update. These guys are on the gas and making substantial updates. I can’t overstate how .9 whatever was hard to use vs 1.0 and now 1.1 is another leap again. It’s just great to see.

I speak as someone that only started learning any CAD as a hobby in the last 5 years. I’ve toyed with every (free) program short of going the pirate route and I’m really glad to see a FOSS alternative start to step up.

I do still have a laundry list of things I’d like to see them fix/change. But as is, it’s working well enough for my use cases!

I was the same way. I started with OpenSCAD and it made way more sense at first.

But what drove me to FreeCAD was when my parts started getting more and more complicated. I think it was being able to chamfer or fillet all the things that really pushed me.

I am in awe of experts of either program though. I think I still really love how openSCAD is so much easier to understand the steps someone took to get to a finished model when you look at other people’s work. And you can just lift pieces out and reuse them.

Umm, I think they can read.

And if you objectively look at every other animal on the planet and then look at humans… how are we not pugs of our genetic family tree?

Fuckin’ humans and our weird ass pointy noses and bulbous heads. We are weird.

It keeps people talking about it.

Sometimes that’s all the point there is.

I guess it depends if it’s sequel or prequel. Maybe it’s flashbacks.

Agent Carter started well enough and the premise was fine at first but IIRC the writing in the second season kind of went off the rails. I was hoping for “origin of SHIELD” and we got some romp in Hollywood or something? Kind of forgettable.

Maybe I am remembering wrong but that would probably prove my point more…

Edit: meant to reply directly to OP but I guess it works here because I agree with the above assesment too lol

Because some of the audience hates looking at pieces of shit every day.

If a literal pile of feces came up on your feed every day at some point wouldn’t you ask people to stop posting piles of feces?

You would not be stopping for those that don’t know, you’d be stopping for those that do.

Cheers!

Snoring is probably an overall detrimental trait, given that it’s primarily due to our our upright anatomical changes since it comes with poorer breathing - it’s just not been detrimental enough to outweigh the other benefits of our evolution though. Plus, our tendency as a communal species to stick together in groups likely outweighed any effect (positive or negative) in the “predators eating us in our sleep” category of natural selection.

I’m no expert, that’s just my hunch. But this is a good question IMO!
