Blocklists are ineffective by design. Each and every member of the swarm can collect all the data necessary to flag you to your ISP. Obviously any professional collecting this kind of data can avoid a blocklist. There is no such thing as a better blocklist.

I think this hits on another big generational difference. Those who grew up in the early days of personal computing and the Internet didn't have teachers or a hallucinating language model to spoon feed them instant answers. They had to actually RTFM thoroughly before they could even think of asking in some arcane BBS, forum, or IRC for help from elders that had absolutely zero tolerance for incompetence or ignorance. MAN pages and help files came bundled, but the Internet (if you had it) was metered and inconvenient on a scale more like going to the library than ordering a pizza. They had to figure out how to ask the right questions. They had to figure out how to find their own answers. The Internet was so slow that all the really interesting bits were often just text. So much indexed and categorized one might need to learn a little more just to find the right details in that sea of text. There was a lot less instant gratification and no one expected to be able to solve their problems just by asking for help.
I've seen way too many kids give up at the first pebble in their path because they are so accustomed to the instant gratification that has pervaded our culture since the dawn of smart phones.
A decade ago we figured out blacklists were ineffective. What's changed?
Why is China listed multiple times as individual cities/regions?
What is the missing footnote for all those asterisks?
Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It's subtle though. It's often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven't added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?
Most of the more or less authentic Mexican food I've had doesn't actually have much, if any, cheese. That shit ain't cotija either.
I bet you go to Taco Bell for Cinco de mayo too.
Hot take: to Most windows users (not you) probably shouldn't be able to access power shell or cmd.exe at all.
He literally has a spreadsheet of neat phrases categorized by rhythm and syllable count so that he can word salad a song together. I love Weezer songs, but the lyrics have no meaning beyond what the listener brings with them.
Here's the Song Exploder episode for anyone interested. The other episodes are also always really interesting even when I don't know the band or song they break down.
Armchair pseudo-scientific thinking like this was why Mythbusters became so popular. They even devoted at least one episode to this very myth. Spoiler, hydrogen wasn't what made that particular lead ballon unsafe.
