Genuinely might just be unawareness. I have been using safety razors for a long time, but I was only introduced to it by a forum post somewhere long ago. Nobody I know personally (especially in the family) uses them. Stores in my area don’t stock razors or handles. It was just by chance that someone posted about them and that I saw that post that got me to switch.

Haha, exactly 6 is crazy! I can’t imagine how that even works. Banks in the US also have been lacking on that front.

One of the most egregious cases of password length requirements I’ve ever experienced was for the Shinkansen booking website. Now, I acknowledge that it was probably possible to enter hiragana, katakana, or kanji, but for everyone that depends on the Latin alphabet the possible entropy for the password would be abysmal. The maximum password length is

Definitely. An odd color sticks out easily so they are very often predated on. And they also can become more susceptible to sunburns. I’m just fascinated when I see animals with color mutations, especially out in the wild!

A real life shiny Pokémon! Leucism is a cool mutation.

I’ve done it twice so far (main server and a Raspberry Pi). Although I recall I had some package breakage with the main server (some changes in Podman that did not go well with the migration to pasta, the new rootless network stack), the process was mostly pain free and I could fix things remotely with SSH.

If you mean harvesting tidal energy, the effect on the moon would be minimal. The loss of angular momentum the moon experiences is due to the mass of the earth’s waters. I could not imagine anything humans could build that could extract enough tidal energy that it would disrupt the moon without utterly destroying the environment at the same time (by way of nullifying tides somehow). In fact, to harness tidal energy, one way would be to use underwater turbines. They would have an immediate effect to the local environment but a negligible amount to the moon itself.

The opposite happens. Tidal energy is what causes the moon to drift farther away from the earth, as the moon loses angular velocity.

Shadowl clone!

That’s a very fair take. I played a few play throughs of Elden Ring however and just never learned anyway, even though the items would’ve helped a lot on further NG+. I guess I also learned how to use fowl foots but that’s once a boss has died.

The funny thing about this in Elden Ring (since you mentioned it), I never learned to use consumables besides the flasks. I’ve seen speedrunners make great use of some of the greases for example, but every time I use something I end up dying anyway. Really hurts because some of the consumables have limited crafting materials (St. Trina lily for sleep pots iirc?).

I ended up beating the base game without them.

The original. I played the GameCube version. There was a separate menu in the game that let you setup the Internet connection in order to play online.

I do remember being able to access the web browser through some tricky steps when setting up the billing. There wasn’t an address bar anywhere on the UI by default but some combination of forward/back revealed it. Not all websites were supported on this stripped-down browser but it was fascinating.
