I would like to have seen Montana.

Is one a lot?

The only thing in the article where Apple seems remotely unhappy is they found some of the tests ambiguous and voluntarily lowered some of their scores by one level in case a third-party tests differently. So by their testing the battery life gets an A, but they’re labeling it as a B just to be safe. They might not like the labeling, but many of their flagship competitors aren’t going to be doing noticeably better than them on most of the metrics.

Nielsen wasn’t considered a comedic actor before his role in Airplane and he was cast because they wanted him to bring the serious, dramatic actor presence/reputation to the role, so it’s worked before

I’m not sure Seth MacFarlane can quite pull off the ZAZ dumb humor, but no one thought of Leslie Nielsen as a comedic actor before Airplane, so I can give Liam Neeson a chance in the role.

Fries are usually not going to get you laid. But sharing a couple fries would’ve improved anon’s likability among that girl and maybe her friends, which is probably not a bad thing.

I don’t even feel like this is a meme, just a valid point I don’t think Lucas even realized he was building

What a great name!

I haven’t paid much attention, but I had some myCharge units I bought at Costco last year get recalled. I suspect a lot of these have cheap batteries from suppliers that don’t put much effort into consistent quality. That’s “okay” with alkaline batteries where the worst that happens is they leak and maybe ruin the device they were in. Have poor quality with a lithium battery and you get a fire or even explosion. I suspect with Anker or some of the other brand names at least you’ll actually get a recall if there’s a problem. A lot of the other no-name, fly-by-night brands on Amazon or elsewhere probably don’t even give you that.

Wouldn’t breaking something make the exercise more difficult?

Ah yes, Crenshaw’s Law in action

I think they’re just up against the glass and getting less distortion/more direct illumination

If it’s simply because the image hasn’t loaded the text often displays in a box in place of the image. If the person is visually impaired their screen reader can read the text out loud or display it in their Braille device.

In the old days web browsers would often display the alt text as a “tool tip” or little message that would appear on top of the image if you left your mouse over it, but this functionality was changed to the “title” attribute since the alt text is primarily for accessibility purposes and should be descriptive, not pointing out some feature in the image or making jokes.

I’ve long wondered about how that became a strong profanity

A good fit for !albumartporn@lemmy.world

My school offered (from most popular to least popular):

1. Spanish
2. French
3. Chinese (I think Mandarin)
4. German

I think my child’s high school offers the same, although I don’t know the relative popularities. I’m confident Spanish is still most popular, and judging by the number of posters around the school from German classes trying to convince kids to take German, I’m thinking German is still not very popular.

They do at Costco in other countries

Anna Nicole Smith was already famous by 1996? I feel like it was a decade later when I was hearing about her in connection with marrying the oil tycoon, his death, then hers
