Yeah that’s true of Google as well I believe. I think Archive is more careful, but I’m sure some books get damaged in the process there as well.

Digitized for private consumption.

Nobody cares when Google did this or when archive.org does this, because they’re sharing the results with the world. (Idiotic shortsighted lawsuits from the authors guild notwithstanding)

…riiiiight.

No, they lie about it too.

I’d say that none of it is in the now, because it all involves distance and time. All those “nows” are different yes but also the “now” at the tip of my nose is different than the “now” inside my eye, is different than the “now” in different parts of my brain. And all of those are different than the “now” that I believe myself to be experiencing. And all of these things are in the past.

Our conceptual understanding of what “the present” means does not align with the facts.

The problem with redefining “the present” to mean “our perceived present” is that any reaction we take is already too late. The stuff we experience as “now” is done and gone. Just like if the sun suddenly went out, we would not notice it for 8 minutes or so, but there would be no possible reaction to it to try to “fix” or otherwise change it. It would have already happened.

Edit; also my point is just that the comic is correct except for the titles. Move the text and images to left, and it’s correct.

False. All our sensory input is slightly delayed, and it takes time for our brain to process it anyway. So the past is the only thing that exists and we are all, always living in it.

Features they’ve killed off that I actually like:

1. …

Conveniently, yes.

I suppose they are.

Except here in America we call them “ketter”, “baser” and “hander”

It’s called football because people run around on their feet, as opposed to horseback for polo.

Pretty sure the NES was brand new when it came out. That’s just how age works.

The 360 is 21 years old today.

The NES was 0 years old when it came out.

3a it shows up in an Amazon box delivered by an Amazon truck.

That’s just providing better service than piracy, not any change in what is legal. Physical media is unrelated (or barely related)

Legally this option died 2 decades ago thanks to steam. So I just wondered why the big consoles still allow this.

Huh? I don’t think Valve wrote any laws about this, or even lobbied for them.

Are you saying his mother is stupid?

It’s been edited, bud. Originally it said that 2fa in general is insecure.

That’s all sms though, not 2fa in general.

All valid points and good information within that scope.

Logically if diluting with cream makes it “Half and half” (decreasing it) then diluting it with water would increase it to either “whole and whole”, making it 2x milk or even more, “half again and half again” or 3x milk.

So would the water in existing milk cause the milk to become milk²?
