Pro tip for anyone living alone: Put away all but one of each thing, so that if you need an item and it's dirty, you have to clean it. Learned that trick a decade ago and I went from Mount Everdish to pretty much nothing.
Back in school I heard the story that Haydn wrote the "Surprise Symphony" because he was sick of people sleeping through his music, and wanted to startle them awake. It seems like this was a myth....
Coverage, yes. But the result of that coverage? Making people not want to support climate activism, and maybe even have a negative reaction to anything climate positive. And how effective is that coverage in helping the climate? What changes in climate related policy can be traced back to any of these actions?
IANAA but I'm guessing being extra careful not to get caught increases the chances of failure.
Also, I just have a feeling there will be record number of forest fires throughout Europe this year, just completely randomly and unrelated to any of this of course.
South Korea on Sunday resumed anti-North Korean propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts in border areas in retaliation for the North sending over 1,000 balloons filled with trash and manure over the last couple of weeks. ...
Leaving consumer routers behind and going the pfSense route is among the best decisions I've ever made. Highly recommended for anyone who isn't afraid to learn some network stuff.
i feel like when i was younger i exclusively did the first thing, just relate to the main character. but now it's more fascinating to zoom out more....
I've seen people reacting to movies say things like "oh you can't do that to me!" when something happens to the main character. I always thought that was a bit weird, but you're telling me that's a certain way people watch movies - to sort of put themselves in the main character's place and experience the movie from that perspective?
Yes sadly this means emergency services will no longer be able to take your call because they got rid of their phones. If you really want to talk you'll have to book a Zoom appointment, so schedule your stabbings ahead of time.
When you're at work, do you ever find yourself fantasizing and being hyper motivated about being home to continue THAT thing you're really excited about or should be doing. But then once you get home all motivation evaporates and you end up doing nothing and feeling guilty about it?
The colors of the wires in electrical systems and such are only for esthetics. Arrange them the way you think is the prettiest. If you're lucky you'll also get fancy sparkles!
"Besides, the more incorrect answers - the more time users will spend on our site and use our service to get the correct answer = more ads shown = more profit!"
Is this a meme? Every time I've seen someone use fetch there's always someone telling them to stop trying to make it a thing. I love it either way and I will henceforth do my part.
Forget AI. Google just created a version of its search engine free of all the extra junk it has added over the past decade-plus. All you have to do is add "udm=14" to the search URL....
"Sorry, we no longer offer a T-Mobile ONE plan, therefore your plan has been converted to a regular T-Mobile plan. If you object to this you may terminate your account."
"Due to increased costs and a whole bunch of reasons that has absolutely nothing to do with our greed we will have to raise the price of our regular plan."
Despite seemingly having nothing else in the pipeline and the AI Pin being dead on arrival, Bloomberg reports the company is "seeking a price of between $750 million and $1 billion in a sale."
In a collaborative effort, Apple and Google have developed an industry-standard detection feature called "Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers" (DULT) for Bluetooth trackers. This standard allows users on iOS and Android devices to be alerted if an unknown Bluetooth tracker is monitoring their location.
Yeah I had no idea. Now I have one and I'm immediately considering moving to a different fedi microblog platform. I've already lost quite a bit of trust for Rochko due to his extreme eagerness to federate with Meta.
Russian forces have started military drills near Ukraine simulating the use of tactical nuclear weapons in response to what Moscow deems threats from western officials about increased involvement in the conflict....
Piss off the west. I'm sure the major countries that support Russia today would continue to do so. And getting removed from power is something Putin's been paranoid about forever, hence the doppelgangers and such. I'm sure he has very thoroughly thought out plans to disappear on his own accord if needed.
That being said, using nukes just seem very counter productive to Russia and I would hope even a deranged Putin, or at least other oligarchs, realize that.
Is Google signaling the end of the open web? That’s some of the concern raised by its new embrace of AI. While most of the fears about AI may be overblown, this one could be legit. But it doesn’t mean that we need to accept it....
Don't be so sure. Google has ridiculous power over the internet. Worst case we might have to create a new network. But I hope we will if it's necessary.
Plus with all the people around, they're not really scared of humans. These aren't the roaches in movies that scatter when a light comes on or they see a person. They're used to us by now.
I'm picturing a dark alley late at night. A human opens a door, and the light from inside spills out on the ground just outside. Right there, an enormous cockroach grimaces slightly from the sudden light, takes a drag on a tiny cigarette and nods hello at the human.
I could be a circus act by now
