Paywall starts around the 3rd paragraph. Answer to the question was the very first sentence, right below the title. In large font.

Could also be a joke on how there was a single XP serial number used by nearly everyone that got it from, uhh, non-official sources. FCKGW FTW.

System and all the "important" apps that I expect to use during the day - dialer, chat, email, maps, browsers - follow the automatic schedule.

Everything else are on perpetual dark mode. Especially the Lemmy clients. Helps me to touch grass when I'm in the sun, instead of doomscrolling...

not sure if it's really used in the context of married people.

My flirty comments usually got the well-deserved eye roll from my partner. And I would do anything they ask for, unconditionally. They would, too, but usually managed to do it before I had the chance to ask for anything. Definitely the GOAT.

I can see how to a child this may look as simping.

Not as much of a gimme

Huh. I'm not American and not exactly well versed in pop culture; but when Kamala started making the news on TV, I told my partner, "wasn't she in The Good Place?"

I feel so vindicated right now.

Put them on a tray, spray with olive oil, sprinkle some salt, bake in oven. Spinach chips! Mmmmm

No. This does not need a 13-minute video.

  • Don't plug in ethernet if you're using one.
  • At the wifi setup stage press shift-F10
  • Type oobe\bypassnro
  • Reboot. Proceed as normal.

There, saved you 13 minutes

Libraries educate people. That takes away their voting base.

Considering pteron is greek and quad is latin, it should probably have been tetrapter. Which actually rolls off the tongue better.

Flamingoes would often curl up into a ball to keep warm.

It's mostly a game of chance.

Grossly oversimplified: Say you have black eyes, but carry a blue-eye gene (which doesn't show because black is dominant). There's a very good chance your sibling carries the same gene. If the two of you have a child together, there's a higher chance that the kid will carry double blue genes and has blue eyes.

Had you had the kid with another black eyed person that's not a sibling, there's a higher chance that they may carry different genres (black, grey, brown, green eyes). So much lower chance of having a blue-eyed kid.

Imagine the same but with all sorts of physical and mental defects. They may not show in you, but if you carry the genes, there's a good chance your sibling does too. Hence the higher chance of it showing up in your kids.

Even if the trait doesn't show in your kids, over generations of inbreeding practice (common in old royal families) the bad genes would be so concentrated in the pool that so many defects will start showing up.
