A ton of them apparently come from regional pricing, or from keys purchased by businesses. Windows offers volume licensing where you can buy bulk keys at a steep discount, basically. The business might not use all of them, and then they turn around and resell them. That’s technically against the terms of the license, but afaik Microsoft has never bothered to enforce that.

I’ve also heard people will take the Windows keys off of older OEM towers and resell them. I have no idea how true that is, but it would also be against their terms.

It’s not exactly likely, but Microsoft could probably just deactivate all of those keys at once if they decided to.

What’s wrong with it? I don’t at all doubt that something is- it’s a $50 wireless mechanical keyboard, I’m just curious.

idk, maybe the hospital has insurance for idiocy. But the people that broke it almost certainly can’t afford an MRI machine, so they ain’t paying.

Yes.

It’s an old meme, sir, but it checks out.

porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves

Nah, dude, immediately back to sneakernet. But way more porn now.

They do, but they also might not.

The part of your skin that actually causes your fingerprint is relatively deep into your skin. So it’d need to be a pretty serious injury to permanently change your fingerprint at all.

Props can have contrails, too. Just can’t fly anymore.

The dev refuses to let the anti cheat work on Linux.

Frustratingly, that would also mean dropping at least one of my favorite games rn.

I’m very much considering dual booting defaulting to Linux whenever Win10 support is properly dropped.

It’s weed. Who cares? Do a campaign about prescription opiates or meth or something useful.

That title is definitely difficult to understand lol

The Judge used the fact that he played D&D in the 80s when it was ‘well known’ that D&D would make you a satanist- which is obviously ridiculous- to refute that it’s ‘well known’ that kids are addicted to social media today.

MR. GOLEMBIEWSKI: Well, Your Honor, it is well known in this country that kids are addicted to these platforms. This is a mental health —

THE COURT: It was well known when I was growing up that I was going to become a Satanist because I played Dungeons & Dragons. Is that — I don’t know what really that means. You can say that there’s studies, Judge, and you can’t ignore expert reports that say X.

That it’s standard- and for most stories I’d say expected and perhaps even necessary- doesn’t change that it’s awful in this context.

Replica gives it entirely too much credit. It was probably made in China last year out of stainless steel.

The two brothers lived with their mother, Elinor Markgraf, a former humor columnist for The Oregonian. She declined to comment.

That they even asked for a comment is fuckin awful, imo.

Yeah, the only source I can find for something like this is aside from dense academic papers I’m not qualified to read is https://www.swedishmatch.com/Snus-and-health/Research-on-snus/Cancer/

Which is… uh, not exactly a reliably source on the topic since they’re a Swedish company that makes Snus. And they don’t even mention that Sweden has removed the warnings.

That part of the page was added by some anonymous user- it just lists an IP, not a username- on October 9th. So I’m gonna go with not believing this one unless a Swedish person pops up to confirm.

It’s kinda difficult to be objective on this topic, no matter how much you ask for it.

She looks kinda weird, but manages to make it more ‘exotic’ and less ‘unattractive.’ It comes off as unique.

To be clear, I’m not in her “order of horny men”. I’ve seen her in like one or two movies, and that’s about it.

Either way, I think you might care way too much about this. I remember a few people that everyone lost their minds over that I thought were actually full blown repulsive. I ain’t making posts about them, though.

It’s not a lie, though? The six dildos thing is absolutely a real law, and someone has introduced a bill to ban sex toys in drug stores which would probably include Walmart.

It’s perhaps somewhat misleading, since this apparently has no chance of passing, but it isn’t a lie.

Yeah, if you’re gonna cross post something you should never see ‘nottheonion’, ‘mildly infuriating’, and ‘feminism’.

It was DUI that resulted in a death, so idk if I’d say that actually makes him crazy.
