I have a web dev joke but [object Object]

Likewise, I'm enjoying it but it just doesn't deserve any awards in a year when other games that are simply better came out. It's a firmly mid tier game and it was (not) awarded accordingly.

I feel it's important to add that the clip ends immediately after the Doctor slaps Paris.

My first was a Galaxy S1 back in 2010 which I rooted and flashed with custom ROMs almost immediately. I remember applying the various generations of Voodoo lag fixes because Samsung used cheap shitty flash storage and a slow proprietary file system. Once the Nexus S came out the dev scene took off because they had almost the same hardware. I had it running up to Android 4.2 or so before it was relegated to sitting in a drawer for good. Unfortunately I don't know where it is now, if I still had it I'd try to boot it up and see if it still works.

There are no men on the internet

That is a trickier question. My gut feeling is that while it makes sense for a person's likeness to enter the public domain after they die, it feels a bit morbid and disrespectful for it to become possible to start running AI generated ads of a celebrity the day that they die. I hate how long copyright lasts now, but I feel like there should be at least some period after someone dies before their likeness enters the public domain. I don't know how long that should be, but definitely shorter than copyright currently is (which should also be much shorter).

My other concern is that if studios can freely recreate dead celebrities then new talent won't get a chance to make a name for themselves. Hollywood would much rather milk existing celebrities for every cent possible with AI (which is part of the reason for the SAG/AFTRA strike I guess). I don't have an answer for this right now.

Yes and yes imo. A person's voice is part of their likeness, and people should get to decide how their likeness is used and get paid for such usage.

"Essentially infinite" is a bit of a stretch. The minimum warranty period is 12 months but it is true that there's no defined maximum period. The reasonably expected lifespan of a consumer good generally increases with its value. Manufacturers and retailers are free to offer further warranties in addition to the guaranteed warranty period under the consumer law but this does not reduce or replace your rights under the law.

I will add that change of mind refunds are not covered by Australian consumer law and it is uncommon for retailers to accept them compared to the US. You can usually exchange something for another item of equivalent value or store credit, but you usually can't buy a phone to try out and return it after 30 days for example.

In Australia Coca-Cola is made under licence by Coca-Cola Amatil (not the same company), and the full sugar version uses local cane sugar. I don't know if the recipes for the sugar free versions are different to the US, but I suspect they might be in order to better match the taste of the local full sugar recipe.

Like a baby. Just like a baby.

Waking up crying every 2 hours? I guarantee that whoever came up with that saying to mean sleeping well never had kids.

I struggled to sleep on planes even before I had an energetic little kid to keep under control. I don't like sleeping while sitting up so I only ever manage to sleep lightly for a couple of hours at most.
