At very least there's an OCX for InteractiveHtmlView or some stuff. It's how South Korean banks apps run. I think even the EU-specific "unbundled IE" versions still have that ActiveX / OLE control registered, though it might be crippled.

On my phone? All the damn time, since I use a lot of jargon and shorthand that it doesn't understand, as well as a few neologisms. But, I'm a much worse typist on my phone.

On my Linux desktop or $dayjob's Windows laptop? Almost never, as it is much less aggressive about replacing what I typed.

Although, he admits in the video to "faking" his footage of it working, by using a off-camera heat source. (His batteries were quite dead.)

But, as someone that lived through this time, they did work, as long as you pressed hard enough in the right places. It was hard to tell if the battery was dead or if you weren't pressing hard enough

Bones evolved for the first time: "485 Ma First vertebrates with true bones (jawless fishes)" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_evolutionary_history_of_life (Vertebrates existed without a bony notochord before then.)

But the Appalachians were started much earlier: "The geologic processes that led to the formation of the Appalachian Mountains started 1.1 billion years ago." They were basically finished growing by the time bones existed: "Around 480 million years ago, geologic processes began that led to three distinct orogenic eras that created much of the surface structure seen in today's Appalachians. [d] During this period, mountains once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rockies" Since then, it's just been wearing down. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachian_Mountains

The whole reason I got on YT Premium was because it was free with Google Play Music. I have real issues watch non-Premiun now, because I've always disliked advertising methods. (Not so much th ads, which can be entertaining, but just being shown content I didn't request instead of the content I did request.)

Plaid effectively admitted to stealing your transaction history and selling it to the highest bidder in the past. There was a settlement and they agreed to not to that in the future

Just don't ever share your password, and certainly not your banking password, and definitely not with Plaid.

I am impatient with long descriptions, but I do find that in a minority of cases, the description does lead in to a distinction that I would not have intuited.

I try to reflect on that during long descriptions, particularly ones that are highly redundant with something I remember.

I also generally prefer a Condorcet Method (ranked choice, single winner) over mixed-member-proportional, but either one would be a massive improvement over our current system.

I'll take Approval voting, even.

Isn't 1600 m/s greater than the speed of sound? That sonic boom is gonna mess up the kitchen, if not the hand.

I think the phase change costs of the water content will also be a significant factor that isn't included.
