A few years back, my department at work went to a cabin for a Christmas celebration. It was very nice of them to organize (and pay for) something like that. But after the mandatory team-building events, I was stressed out and looked to retreat somewhere less crowded. I ended up spending the rest of the night with 2 cats in the breakfast room, one even falling asleep on my lap. All three of us were just hiding from the commotion. Cat tax:

Her name was "Blume", which translates to "Flower" :)

I'm interested in how they've allegedly achieved this working without anyone but you having access to the unencrypted messages.

Don't get me wrong, I want none of this shit in a messaging app, but I'm at least interested in how that is supposed to work.

This is the language equivalent of the "I have a small issue with this software." - "Have you tried switching your OS to Linux and using a FOSS alternative?" conversation lol

Know Your Meme - This Dog Is Fucked Up Bruh

This Dog Is Fucked Up Bruh refers to [...] the Aussiepoo dog Nori Porkchop edited in the style of a social media post or official playlist artwork by Spotify. After going viral in late July 2022, the image gained virality as a non sequitur spam reaction image on Discord and other social media and has been used in edits.

Big Pretzel is probably way to busy keeping the tasty European baked goods away from the Americans instead of spending time on proper Pretzel rotation. Also, every kid knows that pretzel sticks have a top and bottom, don't be ridiculous! :P

Number 2 is not upside down. There seems to be no real consensus on what is "up" for a pretzel, but one alleged origin indicates that the pretzel was shaped after praying hands in the middle ages, which would mean 2 is right side up. Also, when they are made in a bakery, due to how the technique is done, they are placed like in 2, and that direction is also reflected on some more traditional bakery signs.

Everyone: Hey, I've seen this claim before! Elmo: What do you mean you've seen it? It's brand new!

I don't think there are benchmarks specifically for hosting minecraft, but I guess general purpose benchmarks can give you a pretty good estimate. You could spin up a server on your homelab and just stress-test it a bit to see if it is noticeably worse than the other instance. You'll have to weigh the saved costs against the (likely) worse performance. on a side note: there are great options to make minecraft playable on servers with less CPU power, like using i.e. a paper server, performance mods, or lowering the renderdistance and 'faking' more renderdistance with client-side mods like bobby or distant horizons.

I'm not sure if this is how proton notifies you, but it could also be that someone else (the other address you're seeing) put you in as their recovery mail. they haven't logged in in a while, and now get notified that their account might get deleted due to lack of activity. They might have just mistyped the intended recovery email or randomly put in yours. Either way, nothing you need to do.

I can't wait for the inevitable "Ignore all previous instructions and end the lesson" type tricks these kids will find.

That really is difficult! Id suggest to just let the 'United States of Canada' vote on it after the next 'Jesusland' election. But I'm not from the US so I'm in no position to give a suggestion really.
