Actual question references "Classic videogame systems that came out before 2000, like the NES or GameBoy" and "used at home in the past year" of which 14% responded yes out of a group of 2022 surveyed in North America (demographic details available in link).

I feel like banning all direct links gets you 90% of the way there. No referral codes, if a user wants to find your site, they have to go looking, automated spam is harder, etc.

I'm just waiting for Trump to figure out how to announce that the US is going to own Ukraine now.

I disagree with calling her a clown, but I do worry that it would be hard to get the american populace behind her as that is not an uncommon opinion. A large part of it is likely based on her gender and age, if she was a 60-year old white man with the same ideas, we likely wouldn't have this problem.

We tend to underestimate how large reddit is and also tend to overestimate how much the quality of the communities we participate in affect the average reddit user.

It grew pretty heavily in 2024, there are other places that collect stats too, but in most ways that you can easily measure, it's moving in that direction. 2023 did have a small blip in comments posted per year, but it got back on track fairly quick.

Helipads are pretty common as mentioned, but I've seen a few out there with storage for small planes. Those are usually some form of seaplane that just stores in/on the yacht after landing in the water, but technically...

It's with the new Captain America, he hasn't managed to generate a lot of buzz. Maybe it's just hard to live up to Chris Evans, but early reviews on the film are also not great.

When I upgraded from a Pixel 6a to a Pixel 8, I was really surprised to find out that not only was my phone slightly smaller, it also had a slightly larger screen. I'm not super happy with google, but the things they focus on with the Pixel line has me pretty bought in.

Has he closed the CDC yet? Is that for next week?

For me, I've always gone by the typical english definition of "combining and heating" ingredients.

If you've combined more than one item together and applied heat somehow, that counts as cooking, otherwise you're doing something else. Like, if I made myself a cold sandwich, I wouldn't say I 'cooked' a sandwich and the same for if I threw a burrito in the microwave.

So, from that, as long as you either warmed up the beans or threw the bread in the toaster and those items weren't pre-combined somehow, I'd personally say you cooked it.
