It was 10 yep.

Probability is easy, once you realise the odds of something occurring is always 50%.

Either it does, or it doesnt. :p

They may have been launched from within Russia.

Boxxy must be what…40 now?

Thanks for the rec! I’ll definitely suggest that but the head of our IT dept has a particular dislike for FOSS, due to past bad experiences, but I’ve been slowly whittling him down.

my company was paying a license for a tool to let them snag areas of the screen for screenshots, with quick tools to hilight or circle or add arrows to certain areas. an expensive license. more people than I care to admit we’re shocked when I showed them the windows snipping tool with win + shift + x

I too also want to know what the Irish instance is.

you really did!

Holy shit.

I saw them live last year for the finale tour and even live, I heard “up above in my head”

A two word rebuttal naming the argument type someone is using, does not constitute a valid argument.

Ha 😃. This was my first thought as well. I just shared the link to a friend of mine working for “Friend Computer” to ask him what class of citizen he was going to be.

a friend invited me to play a boardgame online, called Kingdomino. I really loved it, and since money is tight, I made my own copy of the tiles for in-person play.

They aren’t perfect by any means and it took a fucking age to do them, but it’s a playable version I can bust out with friends and family.

which fork of new pipe are you using? I’d be interested to hear your take on it.

the Mona Lisa is behind several centimeters of glass. they have absolutely no way to date it with soup.

not much dog, what’s up with you?

I think we must have a very similar viewing list.

My favorite thing about Adam Something is that he points out consistently that nearly all the big hyped “futurism” ideas for transport and infrastructure, are just solving problems that we have already solved using trains. except it’s always slower more costly and less efficient than a train.

For some other recommendations, specially about videogames, Civvie11 does reviews and playthrough of old FPS games (the boomer shooter, Doom and Quake generation). His videos are very entertaining.

Warlockracy is similar, but for CRPGs like the original fallout and various obscure, usually eastern European mods for them. He’s also extremely entertaining.

MandaloreGaming does a mix of old and new games, usually older, and goes into great detail about them and their development and he’s probably the most fair and honest reviewer I’ve ever seen. He reviews games he thinks are interesting so sometimes they’re obscure and sometimes they’re very popular oldies.

That’s exactly the one that came to mind first. He was able to cast a light on the self aggrandizing TED and TEDx talks that are so often full of hot air. It’s a really shame that so many fall into that pit of fascism and can never come out.

I agree with you here. I stumbled onto his video maybe 5 years ago or so and some of them were so bizarre and hilarious, and to find out now he’s deep in the alt-right, cryptofacist nutjob space is so disappointing.

I am not a search engine engineer.

Here are some things it might be though:

It could be that the results you see first are cached on their servers, and expiring from that cache between your searches. however usually when something requested is pulled from a cache, the items lifespan in the cache is usually refreshed so it lives a bit longer.

It could be that certain they are NOT cached at all, and certain sites are rate limiting the DDG crawler hitting them and returning info to you, so DDG takes them out of the results as they cannot confirm the site is alive. I noticed reddit disappeared from the results and we all know about Reddit and their APIs here.

It could also be their ranking algorithm for results is not as deterministic as they want it to be, it could also be that way by design. Page ranking is a closely guarded trade secret, especially at big places like Google. DDG results will never match 1:1 with Google. Personally, I prefer DDGs results to Google.
