I am running stock Firefox. No plugins or adblockers other than what might be built into Firefox. Perhaps it has to do with Firefox’s new default Flash blocker? Maybe the background is part of the Flash file (I’ve seen that before, using a Flash setting in the embed to make the background transparent, which would fail…

Are you saying “delivered” might have been a better term to use?

Why do I have a black square over the first main image of every article on the various sites here? Is that some placeholder for the popover ads that randomly appear, which is not being made transparent for some reason in Firefox or my particular instance of it?

Cobra Strike!

Wait, wasn’t Kotaku supporting a Kickstarter for a low-budget game (

Wait... a former CEO deying that there was any wrongdoing? That doesn’t sound familiar at all. At least she didn’t have her hand in car manufacturing I guess.

And that Supra could have been the Nissan 300Z NA as it too had the same horsepower and was quite heavy.

So do you cook the bacon first or grind raw bacon?

I have several friends that have gone through some tribulation in their lives and turned to religion, immediately becoming hateful, bigoted people, completely not how they were before finding their faith. It’s quite scary and depressing really.

I didn’t see this covered under blanching, but blanching chopped onion will both remove the strong smell (which was covered for other foods) and the strong aftertaste of the onion if, say, you are making salsa or another dish that calls for onion with an uncooked texture or taste, but would otherwise give a strong…

I find that the tactic used by your teacher is a really good way to hook your students in to your class. Even if you do teach them things they will never use, if they feel that you aren’t going to waste their time, they will focus more on what you are teaching. I’ve seen it time and again and the students always seem…

I believe this segment was satire... unless you plan to make a career of reading information from cards someone else wrote (as John Oliver has made) or flipping burgers for a lucrative living wage soon, you still need to know all of these things for most jobs. Most of these things are also meant to teach ways of…

When did Ryu become a WASP? Seriously, he has not a hair on his body, but a full-on Chuck Norris thickness beard? I cannot suspend disbelief in such a creature :)

Here, let me yank really hard on the cables running from your headphones and see how well your non-Bluetooth headphones treat your ears ;) But seriously I use a couple different sets of Bluetooth headphones. One is just the giant hearing aid style set with a rubber cable connecting them, and one of the Motorola behind…

That’s the same wallpaper I grabbed off Google Images for my 3 x 27” setup.

I agree, the crowd of gun-toting rednecks would definitely be a deterant to being a gun-crazy officer. As for your other point, I think that can be true in some cases, as it is very hard defeating years of stereotyping, even if you actively try to do so. I think racism is slowly being weaned from a large portion of…

Sounds like me. Played the heck out of Rust until they started focusing on the total rewrite and the classic game fell away, then moved to 7 Days to Die for a while, which got a lot of updates, but was somewhat rudimentary looking (terrain was generic, much like what I saw on new Rust) and then this... this game is…

Or maybe, and this is purely a hypothesis, maybe the police that were on duty for this particular event were expecting this sort of activity and with that mindset firmly in place, were able to stead themselves against overreacting when it occured. And then there is always the assumption that not all police officers…

I’m on the fence about this study. Not enough information here to determine what they were actually calculating. It seems unreasonable to believe that raising the base salary $7.75/hour would only cause a 4.3% increase, while raising it another $6/hour would cause a 25% increase... unless you know how they calculated…
