Not sure what the original point was but curiously I happened to use file on a an Apple .numbers file recently and found that it was a .zip file in disguise with zero compression.
So maybe the point was that it’s used often as a container format more often than it’s used for compression? Just my (unrelated) general computer work would also suggest this.
Hard agree, but I see vegans arguing that it is vegan all the time.
My philosophy is that I don’t want to mess with animals simply because I can. It’s that simple.
Just as an example, a lot of vegans will happily eat honey and it never occurred to me in my first year that it could be questionable. I decided on the spot never to consume it again simply because by my logic we’re having to hoard up a bunch of bees and make them produce it for us — only later did I read up on the topic and find all the arguments for/against it — but that didn’t matter to me because I try to keep it that simple.
Hunting is an area I haven’t given much thought. I grew up in a hunting family, shot a deer at five years of age, etc. but never got into it. I know there’s a big debate surrounding it but knowing I don’t want to hunt in the first place I haven’t really read up on it simply because it’s not relevant to me.
Never understood all the hate. Sometimes I actually crave that weird-ass flavor.
Meat processing (for human consumption) because it’s unnecessary for our survival and I personally find it an abhorrent and morally wrong.
Personally speaking, I’ve never been a fan of this method because to the hosting web server it was still fetched. That might confirm that an email address exists or (mistakenly) confirm that the user did in fact follow the link (or load the resource).
I have ad and tracking blocked like crazy (using DNS) so I can’t follow most links in emails anyway. External assets aren’t loaded either, but this method basically circumvents that (which I hate).

It was originally released in 480, so those DVD rips are probably the “best” quality-wise (unless they did some work on it before releasing for streaming).
If that’s the case it’s probably easier to rent the discs and rip them. Obviously this is a piracy community but hey, technically it’s still piracy if you’re copying rented discs am I right?
This is a beautifully simple solution! I hadn’t thought of that but I’ll have to keep it in mind.
Do you think you’d have to move closer to another AP? I do think a duplicate a MAC address might cause connectivity problems at least while connected to the same AP.
Are you familiar with Tailscale? I think it reverts to tunneling over WireGuard over HTTPS in cases like this — I might be wrong, but I might block UDP on myself to test this out.
I think if you lie and use a VPN there might be less data for them to profit from.
That’s why it’s so important to block ads/tracking not only in the web browser but at the network level.
I’m usually using it not to search the codebase but to search for something specific with a file.
I always found the code search more distracting than helpful. Just let me use the browser native Command + F ffs.
I’m basically in the same boat as OP but this reminded me that I love learning languages.
Mandarin is a huge challenge but after programming all day, it’s actually incredible the way my brain feels after practicing with a tutor for an hour. Originally I meant to get away from the computer but ended up using an online service.
Here’s what I do about it:
If you use iCloud with a family plan you can use another family member’s phone to find your iPhone via Find My.
What is a “tuck shop?” I kept thinking it was a typo meaning “truck stop.”
I was going to say this. Get a hold of the profit margins at your local national fast food chain restaurant and tell me again the profits aren’t that high. 😂
Annoyingly I go back and forth because whichever pronunciation I’m on sounds worse than when I hear it the other way.
