Yep. Any external noise can be a big distractor.

Now make that noise repetitive, or something like the sound of someone eating, and it can send you though the roof.

States rights!

Except when it conflicts with whatever unscientific garbage narrative the dictator is pushing.

The beginning of enshittification.

Prices will keep climbing, functionality reduced in favor of service tiers, and of course ads, ads, and ads.

Wasn’t it new in the ‘70s? Some papers put it as officially recognized (in the US at least) in the ‘60s. I’m not sure when medicines became available for it though.

Even with the points of the teeth to plot he’d have to be offroad or on private property to set the pointd.

I’m going to learn how to:

Program with a basic language

Sketch a still life

Draw Celtic knotwork

Run for my health

Do photography with my phone camera

Etc.

All of these are cheap or free with tools one probably already has. You can take decent pics with a phone, you already have pencils, paper, and pens, and programming can be learned for free online (assuming you have a laptop or PC to work with it on)

Exactly. Clarkson is more than just an aging boomer, he embraces a lot of the right wing stances, and of course the “problems that the lefties talk about aren’t problems until they affect me.” I watched a few minutes of him and his Farm show and it was basically him bitching about the government and left wing policy the whole time in front of a camera. Guy can be really entertaining, but he’s an asshole.

I’ve heard both… let me check where it originated.

Edit: yep. Mussolini gets firsties for the “Trains on time” propaganda. Looks like maybe around the early 1920s he was trying to convince people that fascists could do great things for society and the trains were part of the propaganda. Hitler gets mixed in to the trains propaganda much later.

Hitler made the trains run on time.

(Not really)

That’s the James Earl Jones “Thulsa Doom” haircut from Conan The Barbarian.

Or Jennifer.

“Fuck the little guy, hoard the assets, build bunkers.”

Easy unmemorable throwaways. Plenty of services will tell you that your chosen screen name is taken and automatically offer the same thing followed by numbers, “UserName123” for instance.

If you zoom in (the potato quality image) there is absolutely the outline of a vest under the shirt. The printing on the back pocket is not round like a tin of chew. The rest I couldn’t say for sure, boots, bracelet, etc. but the vest and cuffs look dead on.

Google it for different varieties of bracelet.

This is the wiki on the thin blue line.

I dumped Plex years ago even though I paid for it. Too many issues with it. Constantly losing movie folders, unable to stream to the device I wanted to watch on, wrong codec, wrong sound, etc, etc. I gave up. I’m sure it worked fine for most, but it got to be a pain. Switched to Jellyfin and a DDNS address and have had zero problems since. And it’s free.

I’ve gotten used to using Siri for reminders, like “add apples to the shopping list”, but it’s extra frustrating to have 2-3 things to add and forget the third before I get the first two saved.

€50 doesn’t go as far these days.

Getting a lot of miles out of this screenshot.

You have to remember the thing you wanted to remember and where you put it only to find it six months after the point it was useful anymore but don’t delete it because it might be important again even though the odds of you remembering it and where it is should it be useful are near zero.
