Surely the last 4 digits don’t point to an exact house. I’m fairly certain my zip code has more than 9999 houses. It does seem like it would get you pretty close though.

Their license also says they will not let anyone use their logo. So it doesn’t appear to be a reasonable attribution.

The game containing public domain images wouldn’t make the entire game public domain. Someone with a copy of the game could distribute those particular assets though. Maybe. It depends on how much human effort was involved; an AI image can become copyrightable if enough effort was done to transform it after it was generated.

It depends on what you are using placeholder assets for. If you want to use it to gauge how a scene would look before setting out to build it, then placeholders that stand out get in the way. You would need a way of tracking all the slop, but then you could have a build tool track how much slop is still in the game to make sure you catch it all before release.

It doesn’t say when they told Wikipedia about the paid editing, but once Wikipedia investigated it they banned them and denied the appeal. The account never came back to make more edits after they were discovered.

I was actually just reading just reading about this pretty recently. If I remember correctly, the manga has her explicitly possess a human shell when she needs to interact with humans, and she doesn’t have those powers in that form. The anime glosses over that, so you just see her fly around a lot in the early episodes and then she stops.

Most toilets I’ve used don’t fill the bowl with enough water on a single flush to overflow. You can adjust the chain (assuming not an office toilet) if it’s flushing for too long.

The only times I’ve overflowed a toilet I was as a kid, not realizing that trying to flush again might make the problem worse.

I assume either they mean they don’t keep flushing it over and over if the bowl fills up or their toilet flapper has a short chain and stops flushing quickly when they let go.

Are DDR3 sodimms manufactured by anybody anymore? I don’t think Crucial leaving the consumer market will matter here.

Edit: I looked into this more and it turns out that DDR3 was being produced until very recently. I expected it to have died out completely when DDR5 hit the scene. I can’t quite tell if the production has completely stopped (all of the articles are talking about it happening at the end of this year), but it seems likely. I wouldn’t expect any brand to be offering new DDR3 sticks in a few years.

These are vinyl. They just tear at the top where the hook goes.

It was a race between my cat chewing the cords holding my horizontal blinds together vs the vertical blinds just deciding to self destruct. I’ve had wet toilet paper that tore less easily then the vertical blinds I have.

There is a setting called “Use Web Icons” in the app that I would guess is linked to this.

It will often still flow even without direct sun, just takes longer. I use a hair dryer if I’m in a rush.

It tells you it will happen when you use the restore backup feature.

They didn’t claim a low number of troops, they claimed a high number of Federal Protection Service officers. They claimed that they had to send 25% (115) of all protection officers to Portland to protect ICE and that demonstrates an inability to execute federal law. The actual peak number of protection officers deployed at any one time was 31.

Shark milking is one of the most dangerous professions out there. It doesn’t surprise me that the industry is under reporting deaths.

I wonder how accurate that number is. From what I can find, the source was Castro’s head of intelligence. He’d certainly know things, but he is a single source. His list includes things that arent assassination attempts, like assassination schemes (plans that haven’t been/won’t be put into action) and attempts to assassinate his character. Is a plot to make his beard fall out an assassination attempt?

The scuba suit with poison fungus is one that seems pretty popular, people love to bring it up. But it wasn’t an actual attempt, it never made it out of the planning phase.

Wait, the BBC article I just found about his book Executive Action: 634 Ways to Kill Fidel Castro says, “However most of the ideas were never put into practice, former bodyguard Fabian Escalante said.” The source of the 634 number isn’t even claiming that there were 634 assassination attempts.

You can’t separate the two things like that. Lighting a flag on fire is political speech and the administration has said they will charge people who light the flag on fire. The fact that the thing he lit on fire on federal property was the flag is absolutely legally relevant here. It will be a major part of his defense, as they will try to argue that the law he has violated is placing an undue burden on his freedom of speech. It will be the thing the entire case hinges on.

This is important because it’s fairly easy to make laws against all the things involved in a protest and then say “oh we aren’t charging them for protesting, we are charging them for obstructing the view by holding a sign.”

I’m not sure why the article says the charges aren’t relating to burning the flag when the charges are about lighting the flag on fire. The charges don’t say the word flag on them, but it is the flag burning they are charging him with.

The US has a progressive income tax, so it is true that people with higher education pay more income tax as a whole. The main difference with other countries is that it has a fairly low percentage cap and an absurdly low capital gains tax. The wealthy paying a low tax rate because of most of their earnings being asset based instead of income based doesn’t change the fact that the people who get paid higher incomes from their jobs that required higher education pay more income tax.

It’s labeled 1.25 pints. A US pint is ~473 ml. Multiplying that by 1.25 gets me 591 ml.
