Btw, if tea is too bitter for you, rooibos might fit better. Plus there are all kinds of herbal ‘teas’, or rather mixtures, that don’t contain tea proper — at least where I live. Although tea itself has barely any bitterness if you use a smaller dose of green tea, or something like white tea.

Of herbal or aromatic teas, you might want to choose those with berries or flowers, since they impart some sweet flavor, but still far from the sweetness of fizzy drinks. A bonus benefit is that there are a lot of different flavors. One should take from life all that it has, after all.

Ironically, YouTube is one case that’s much better with personalized recommendations. I even open links from social media in incognito tabs so as to not pollute my recommendations accidentally.

Any time I happen to open Youtube’s main page in an incognito tab, it’s filled with complete trash that’s offered to my region by default. It’s not even my usual snobbery talking — the content is like wall-to-wall Jerry Springer Show.

That’s what’s often missing from stories about patents: big companies churn out patents in case they ever need to use them in patent warfare against competitors. For the sole reason that the competitors are doing the same thing.

However, I doubt it that BMW would ever have a chance to use this particular patent on a competitor.

Henry Kuttner’s short-ish story ‘Year Day’ from 1953 predicted how advertising will be in the future that we’re on track to hit. The story was published in the collection appropriately named ‘Ahead of Time’.

That’s noob tier. I’m a blanket junkie for some reason, so I have to compromise in any weather. The blanket could be covering any part of my body, from neck-to-toe to just the legs, to one vertical half, to part of the torso, to just a corner being on me.

I mean, you can also get some taste in your water by drinking tea.

I’ve seen stuff on r/embroidery that’s difficult to believe. E.g.:

‘Well, I have finished my new embroidery, now you can admire it’

‘I can finally reveal my latest embroidery project’

‘I tell my gran I’m into embroidery and she casually drops she used to be a master’

‘Kiwi based on old online illustration’

‘Embroidery or cake’

‘Kimberly the tortoise’

Scandinavia, Novaya Zemlya, and Taymyr Peninsula went all kinds of askew.

An old joke:

In a Catholic school:

“Johnny, tell us, how does electricity make a bulb work?”

“Through God’s help!”

“Good, A for you.”

It’s now a reality in the US.

Ah yes, wasting one’s time while not contributing to the click rate anyway. And if you clicked through and read the site, that wouldn’t contribute to the conversion rate either.

You might mean the case of Florence Horner, kidnapped in 1948 by Frank La Salle. It’s apparently directly referenced in ‘Lolita’. However, Wikipedia mentions that Nabokov was already working on ‘Lolita’ in '47, under its original title ‘The Kingdom by the Sea’; and he had similar themes in previous works, going back to a poem and a novella from '28 and '39 respectively.

Importantly, ‘Lolita’ has a few brief allusions to Lewis Carroll, and multiple to Charlie Chaplin’s relationship with Lita Grey.

Also most famously in the scene where Connor is messing about with T2’s head or whatever, before a mirror. They had a stand-in for Schwarzenegger, but had Hamiltons on both sides of the ‘mirror’. But that scene might’ve been deleted or only in an extended edit, idk.

And iirc when Connor has the nuke dream, she sees herself on the playground, again via the power of having two of the twins.

Ah, I’ve missed the fact that the image is pretty low-res. My condolences for reading that blurry mess.

PSA: if you use Google to search by an image, it lets you select and copy the text. On Android it can be done by sharing to ‘Lens’, or going through the Google app. (Idk about iPhones.)

It’s very clear that Nabokov despised and mocked most of his protagonists, with only a couple exceptions. Humbert is a loser with nothing interesting about him.

Still some people somehow manage to interpret the book as a ‘defense’ of Humbert of sorts, or a fantasy. Seen this on Reddit.

Evie Magazine is an American alt-right women’s magazine. Evie has published conspiracy theories, pseudoscientific content and anti-vaccine misinformation.

FrontPage was initially created by Cambridge, Massachusetts company Vermeer Technologies, Incorporated, evidence of which can be easily spotted in file names and directories prefixed _vti_ in web sites created using FrontPage. Vermeer was acquired by Microsoft in January 1996 specifically so that Microsoft could add FrontPage to its product line-up, allowing them to gain an advantage in the browser wars, as FrontPage was designed to create web pages for their own browser, Internet Explorer.

I just think that most UX designers share the UI design responsibility, so it’s not that distinct of a job.

Your initial comment above came off as hostile to UX designers, which is why I felt the need to reply. Afaiu UX design as a discipline, particularly in software, appeared around the nineties to early two-thousands, likely influenced by industrial design (namely Don Norman himself) — so it’s not quite an ‘emerging’ discipline, but it’s surely vague.
