If you haven't read them yet, the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett fills a similar fantasy space, but with an excellent dose of British humor mixed in. The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic are often recommended as the primary starting point, but there's a handful of parallel storylines with their own "starting points". Going Postal is one of my favorites.
What are you on about? They literally mention Proton by name, with a link, in the second paragraph. Plus, this isn't trying to subtly call out Proton, they're a related party in Tuta's concern about Switzerland's potential privacy laws.
No, not canonically at least and would've been very taboo in the 50's anyway. The original comics didn't really cover relationships between any of the characters outside of Sally's crush on Linus, Lucy's crush on Schroedinger, and Charlie's crush on The Little Red-Haired Girl. I can just about guarantee though that there is fanfic out there somewhere shipping the two of them.
There's an aspect of Japanese folklore called "Shirikodama" or (roughly) "small anus ball", which states that humans have a small ball/organ/jewel in or near the anus where their soul is stored.
This is what inspired the name of "The Dung Eater" in Elden Ring, who would kill people and then "defile their corpse" to ensure their entire bloodline becomes cursed, as well as the Headless from Sekiro, which has a grapple attack where it removes Wolf's soul via the nearby orifice.
I wish I knew the answer to this. I can't leave the thick plastic target-style shopping bags sitting out exposed anywhere my cat can find it otherwise the handles will "mysteriously" turn into Swiss cheese within a day.
My mother's been on the "natural health" train for a while now and claims that pasteurizing milk removes most of the nutrients (verifiably false). No amount of my protesting or pointing her towards sources for the contrary have convinced her to stop consuming that garbage.
I've had two instances in the past year on Purple Arch (Endeavor) where a kernel update "broke" my system. In both cases, the system still booted fine though, so not all definitions of "broken"may apply.
The first time there was a bug with the kernel drivers for my wireless card which caused a component of Network Manager to lag out the entire UI to the point it was basically unresponsive trying to find a connection, but never did.
The second time, it was a bug with the Vulkan drivers that caused all my games to crash within 60 seconds of starting up. Games are the main thing I use my PC for, so my system was effectively "broken", even though everything else was fine.
I am of course not discrediting your fortune - I merely wanted to share
Ah, I forgot Atomic (radio) clocks existed. My parents used to have one of those over a decade ago, but I always saw them as more of a novelty. Not saying they're not valid, just uncommon IMO.
Every appliance in my house (with a clock anyway) and all of our clocks (2 analog, 2 digital) require manual changing. None of them are connected to the internet, which I would think is the only way they would be able to. Do they really make "smart" analog clocks now?
Edit: my car is somewhere in between. It'll "automatically" change, but I have to turn it on/off. It's basically just automated the action of moving the hour forward or back.
It's online radio, where you can make stations built from a seed song/genre and then it tailors itself based on the thumbed up/down songs. Both interactions will give the selection algorithm more info to work with, but the thumb down will also immediately skip a song and prevent it from showing up again.
It used to be a really good service and was my primary music option, but it got bought by LiveNation and went into the shitter fast. Ads are completely out of control, but uBlock helps significantly ofc.
The algorithm also had a tendency to form your various stations into very samey sounding, but that may just be me using seed songs that are too similar and not being aggressive enough with the thumbs down.
Based on The Lockpicking Lawyer's videos, you could practically sneeze at the thing and it would pop right open

By Grabthar's Hammer........ What a savings
Free mode forces shuffle play, it's obnoxious

All good homie. Patty was always one of my favorites, I liked her green plaid shirt
How dare you besmirch Peppermint Patty's name, she's a trustworthy girl. Lucy van Pelt on the other hand...
I, for one, welcome our mothy overlords. Every meme is like a lamp shining through storm clouds

Yeah, kernel rollback fixed things no problem

My oldest never hit this, but the younger one who is currently 3 basically matches this comic exactly
