YBI.

I do not believe you did an objectively wrong thing when discarding your human coworker"s concoction. However, it is a fact that you do not understand their culture, you admitted so yourself. It is therefore illogical to take any action regarding his lunch without his consent. In addition, humans are emotional creatures, and may not react favorably to your intrusions, no matter how logical they may be.

The logical thing to have done would have been to raise this issue to your coworker once you noticed it, taking with you your evidence that it would pose a health hazard to him and to the crew. Tossing it without his consent should be your last resort to protect the crew's health.

I want to see your multitude of tab add-ons. I'm always looking for ways to improve my experience but I never even considered messing with tabs and now I wonder what I'm missing out on!

Laser is no longer an acronym. It's now an anacronym, which means it's its own word (despite originally being an acronym)

I have heard that complaint more recently and it wasn't downvoted or anything, so I'd like to think you made an impact!

Please man, I'm at work, I can't be seen browsing these websites in public!

Off topic: that font gives me fuzzy feelings inside

Oh! I tried playing Neverwinter Nights recently and... I bounced. I want to try again soon because people really love that game (and its modding scene!), and I love D&D (having only played 5e, however), but it's not appealing to me as much as I wish it did.

A lot of people are replying as if OP asked a question. It's a link to a blog post explaining why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes (exactly as the title says!). OP knows the answer, in fact they know it so well they wrote an extensive post about it.

Thank you for the write up! You should re-check the spelling and grammar as some sections had some troubles. I have a sentence I need to go to the post to get, so let me edit this later!

Edit: the second half of this sentence is a mess: "The factors don’t solely consist of twos, but ten are certainly lot of them." Otherwise nothing jumped out at me but I would reread it just in case!

I liked messing around with openbox but I'm very aesthetically challenged so I never managed to make it look good. Any tips?

*cannon

It's in the title of the post. Canon would be if something would be verified in the Star Trek universe. Which this is, sure, but think about it: it's much more likely to be a comment on the girth and power of Klingon instruments

How old are these games? What OS did you play them in? Better question: which games specifically?

What are the contents of the CD? If every file has an uppercase name then it's likely to be a DOS game and DOSBox really is your best option.

If they are point-and-click adventure games, look into ScummVM, it may be easier than messing with DOSBox.

Everyone's hating on this approach but I think it's nice that we have other options. I'm sure Ublock is going to come out on top of this cat and mouse game YouTube is playing with them, but if YouTube manages to temporarily disable Ublock I'll look into this solution. Thanks!
