a movie about intensely organized alien race that mainly communicates via sick dance moves.

We already did that, it’s called “Barbie” and it is art.

Why else did you think the Kens had that highly choreographed dance battle?

Come on now, you guys are the real celebrities!

Pssh. Celebrities on social media, who needs them anyway.

If you want a more detailed explanation, USB-C is a small connector that was designed primarily for data transfer, extended power range delivery (240w) was essentially hacked on to the standard. Electricity arcing between the contacts on the connector is the biggest challenge with this hack, since the contacts are small and very close together, which could burn out the circuit board and start fires. For EPR to work safely, there needs to be a lot of extra components on the circuit board/female connector side, which there simply isn’t enough space for on an f2m extension cable.

As for why USB-C cables are so short, it’s simply a matter of physics, carrying high speed data over larger distances would result in higher losses and requires thicker conductors and more shielding, which is why you don’t see USB4 Gen3 cables over 1 meter unless they are optical, and longer “charging cables” are only rated at USB 2.0 speeds, because more often than not they don’t even have the USB 3.x data pins on their connector.

Well, there is this time a few months ago where the Chinese government hacked AT&T and Verizon using the mandatory backdoors the US government left for wiretaps…

That’s the reason leaving backdoors is generally a really, really bad idea, because you don’t know who else can use them

The obsession with cast iron like it is some kind of magic ritual is honestly really weird. After you cook with it, wash it with water and dry it with some paper towels, that’s it, no need to make it more complicated than it really is.

If things are sticking to your pan, use more oil in your pan; with enough oil, you can cook on a rock and make it nonstick.

And also for your information, that is clearly a picture of uh, “American actress Jaime Pressly” who is totally a completely different person.

Dear Japan: not all white women look or dress like Tina Armstrong from Dead or Alive.

See, I look nothing like this:

This is obviously a deepfake if I ever seen one: if this is a really a visitor centre, then why isn’t it located in the centre of the crater?

Some of us are 30 year old women, than you very much.

That’s the reason most big name actors have their own production companies to work on their own movies, you have way more control over your own role compared to being just another actor on set.

In any case, I think the audience still recognize great performances by individual actors even if the end product is badly reviewed or didn’t do well at the box office, and there are lessons to be learned from the “Suicide Squad” and “Amsterdam” and “Babylon” until you finally get a “Barbie” against all expectations.

I hope he finds his own “Barbie” too.

It’s true, I’ve watched this documentary about this woman in her twenties who dumped Leo after being in an dysfunctional relationship with him.

I think it’s called “The Wolf of Wall Street” or something.

And it comes in pink!

(Magenta, but still)

As Australia’s only Barbi-llionaire, I vote to replace her portrait with a funny portrait of me in the exhibition instead.

But then again, 25 percent of American students are also in the top quartile on standardized tests, so it evens out.

That’s just marketing, since everyone put their phone in a big case immediately anyway.

Waterproofing requirements makes everything harder, because there can’t be any gaps between the screen and the back.

Glass backs are popular because it makes assembly easier, because if the front and back are made from the same material, then they would have the same thermal expansion coefficient, which means that you can get a less variable fit between the front and the back.

It is for the benefit of the manufacturer and not the customer.

Reminds me of that scene in “The Wolf of Wall Street”.

Good times.

Still on that acting break, but in the meantime, you can buy a copy of “Barbie” on Blu-ray to tide you over.
