For the best results, keep both the soda and empty drinking glass in the refrigerator.

Then start with an empty glass tipped 15-20deg toward open can or bottle of soda.
Pour slowly onto upper inner edge of tipped glass. Stop with enough room in the glass for additional ice volume.
Place each cube into the surface of poured soda before releasing it.

If you're insisting on ice first, use the other techniques but with a preloaded glass instead of empty.

Literally a wireless HDMI? What's the source you're thinking of?

That's the Plex app casting to a Chromecast

And if I identity as an extraterrestrial autonomous exploration and research unit, with a general mission directive of learning about humanity first hand?

As far as I know virtually all forensics is invalid. I believe its just DNA analysis, that's got actual science behind it.

Not that Ive ever heard of.

But Kagi makes it easy. It's called Personalized Search. It's so nice

Edit: Apparently DDG got rid of that feature.

Yes the idea isn't, that they aren't allowed to recommend anything. It's that they can be held accountable (I.E. sued) if what they recommend, leads to people being radicalized by a hate group, or attempting suicide from cyber bullying. Or even just extra tharapy from doom scrolling ourselves to sleep. Right now Section 230 says they can't be held liable for anything on their sites. Which is obviously stupid.

Those were my edits, they didn't use both

On one hand the Judge is right. On the other hand the lawyer is right. Then on two more hands, they're both wrong.

Yes, it's bad to legislate by moral panic. Yes, kids are addicted to social media. Those are both facts.

The reason age gating is a bad idea isn't because of moral panic, or "the children". It's because we're ALL addicted to social media. It isn't just the kids, it's adults as well. The problem is the intentionally addicting algorithms, meticulously engendered to keep us scrolling. I'm telling you in 50 years, we'll know how all the social media companies were hiding and lying, about the addictive harmful nature of their business; Just like we know about tobacco and oil companies today.

The best solution I can think of, is to revisit Section 230. You can't hold these companies responsible for what people post to their sites, but we can and must hold them accountable, for what they recommend! If you have a simple easily definable sorting or ranking system of what people choose to follow? You're fine, no accountability for something bad showing up. If you have some black box algorithm of infinite scrolling, based on a complex criteria that nobody can really break down and explain exactly why a specific post was shown to a specific individual? Now you're on the hook for what they see.

I think that's what they're trying to say
