Reply to Windows is awful in ways that I don't even know how to begin to explain to people. Latest news: Microsoft alone trusts this cert authority which just issued a likely-malicious cert for google.com by twovests

How do you explain how inexcusable this is to most people? It's not even universal that tech people know what a CA does.

This breaks encryption, by letting a server that is not google.com say, "Hi, I am google.com, and here is my public key". The cert authority is the one that checks the public keys are good. You have to trust that Microsoft trusts the right CAs, and they seemingly do not.

bad bad bad!!

Reply to comment by hollyhoppet in Molasses (superfood) by twovests

dear holly,

Unlike highly refined sugars, molasses contains significant amounts of vitamin B6 and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese; one tablespoon provides up to 20% of the recommended daily value of each of those nutrients. Blackstrap is also a good source of potassium.[13]

i think this is notable when compared to corn syrup, maple syrup, and even honey

i was considering making a pecan pie, but they are so cloyingly sweet. upping the pecan content and using molasses instead of karo sounds like a great move.

further, adding (superfood) makes this funny, because it's like. not a health food. it's still molasses.

yours truly,

Reply to Hot Dr Pepper by hollyhoppet

Ah yes, the classice "Hot Dr Pepper" YouTube video, a classic as classic as the classic "Hot Dr Pepper" beverage. Really a 10/10 video.

Really sad to see they deleted all their other videos when they uploaded Hot Dr Pepper 2 two years ago. As funny as it is to say, I am 100% sincere when I say MatrixSlide fell off with Hot Dr Pepper 2. It's a straight remake of the original with absolutely no creative additions to balance out how much other culture was lost. Utterly 0/10.

Jailbreaking iPhones in the Apple Store. The App that Apple forgot about. The Herobrine video. Eruption. MTA. All lost, for NOTHING.

I'm fuming. I'm going to need a hot Dr. Pepper.

Reply to comment by hollyhoppet in Why do we have kWh when we already had joules by flabberghaster

Well I mean specifically that a watt is defined as one joule of energy per second, energy over time. Then we multiply that by time and we're left with a kWh being the same dimension as the Joule.

It's like if we measured distance by saying how many "velocity seconds" apart things were. (Which we do in space, we measure vast distances by light seconds but that's not my point)

Reply to comment by flabberghaster in Between the made-up words, breaking poetric structure for cheap drama, over-use of the aside, the indecisiveness between prose and verse, and the "get-out-of-jail-free" card of the blank verse, we have crowned Shakespeare as the Worst Playwright Of All Time. by twovests

We? Not me. For the aforementioned reasons, I'd call him The Worst Playwright Of All Time. You can etch that into my gravestone, or any public restroom stall, or into my flesh even

Reply to Why do we have kWh when we already had joules by flabberghaster

I like J as a shorthand for kWh or Newton-meters in units that incorporate joules.

kWh consumed per month makes more sense inside my heart than joules consumed per month.

I had to take the same intro-physics course twice despite passing both with perfect As, because of Paper reasons, so Joules will always be kilogram-meters-meters-per-second-squared to me. If someone expresses them as Pascal-cubic-meters or Coulomb-Volts then I will feel honestly quite Disgusted
