I don't believe any hair on the human body truly grows continuously. Even head hair has a lifespan of ~7 years and whatever you can grow in that time is the max. I was a big metalhead in high school and grew my hair out. Indeed, after about 7-8 years it stopped getting longer, right at about waist level, and was stuck there until I finally got sick of it and cut it off.
And thank god for that, because the 4:3 remasters are quite good, and IMO the best way to watch the old episodes on big screens. They've just remastered enough to make them more crisp and less pixelated but not so much that they look like a flash cartoon like the previous 16:9 TV "remasters".
Both of these tools already exist multiple times over. I get the value of creating them yourself as a learning experience - not so much the value of getting an LLM to create them for you.
Pretty certain this article was written with an LLM. I can't tell you how many LLM-critical articles I've seen that are themselves written by an LLM. It's some weird kind of incestuous irony that you'd think the author of such a piece would try to avoid.
Are you sure it’s not meant to be an RJ45 plug? The cylindrical thing to the bottom left corner of the wall socket looks like it might be a BNC plug. Which would make sense for the era of quake when Ethernet wasn’t yet ubiquitous.

Also token ring was just one of a few different network protocols that supported BNC. Technically you could run Ethernet 10base2 over BNC too (In fact I used to have network cards that supported this, though I only used them for 10baseT).
TR was definitely the more common protocol for BNC hardware though.
The proportions look more like RJ11 than RJ45 to me. Not how big the clip is compared to the plug. Of course this is a hand drawn icon so take everything with a grain of salt.
You can still see it while playing in 2025, for Quake 2 at least, on Tastypleen servers in the U.S. The servers crash for some reason. Or if you connect to Chinese servers, sometimes I experience it, but rarely.
I can't speak for firmretention, but I'm guessing it's the idea of a billionaire who's rightly lauded for his investment skill getting a little greenwashed with "donations" that aren't really no-strings-attached donations. It's also a little dystopian to have a dorm described as:
> “Munger Hall, in comparison, is a single block housing 4,500 students with two entrances,” McFadden said, and would qualify as the eighth densest neighborhood on the planet, falling just short of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
It is a good idea, but I am curious whether it's a fire hazard to have only two entrances for such a big and dense building? Maybe this is misreported, I don't know.
In general, though, I personally do think that donating money and micromanaging how that money is spent does come off weird and disingenuous. You have every right to do it, but it's not really in the spirit of a pure donation to me at that point.
Again, I can't speak for firmretention. Their comment just tickled this own natural reaction I had in myself to the linked article.
Also, he'll have all the money, so of course, we won't need any. He'll supply us all with daily food rations and multicultural sex bots to keep us happy? And free ketamine!
