Man, I really feel like the internet is under a major shake up at the moment. Feels weird.

Somehow I missed a flight while I was at the gate. Mind you it was a small plane. I still don't understand it to this day. I was sitting at the gate waiting for them to announce boarding or watch the sign change. Nothing the whole time I was there.

Finally about 20 minutes after we were supposed to leave I get up and ask the desk staff and they tell me the plane left.

I didn't understand how this had happened and apparently neither did they. I didn't see anyone board the plane, there were no announcements or notifications.

I was either experiencing this or something similar to it. I was waking in the night and seeing things in the dark that I was sure was there. Really terrible things. A person standing in the corner of my room, something crawling on the ceiling.

I did some reading on the subject and decided to try a sleep mask for a few days. The whole time I wore it I never experienced the visions again. So after that test I decided to get blackout curtains because it was the light bleeding in from a streetlamp that was contributing to the hallucinations.

While this is a fantastic suggestion, and pi-hole is amazing, we shouldn't be in the position where this is required just to use a darn TV.

I'll second ventroy. It actually just works.
I have a 256GB usb stick loaded with various install isos. It's great being able to just copy over the iso instead of having to image them every time I need one.

And I decided to force my laptop to migrate to PopOS and I haven't looked back.

For now until they start ruining that too somehow. I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see browser based throttling.

I find this mildly infuriating, so I think it fits here.

I refuse to install anything Facebook related on my outcome. I was one who has to walk away.

Yeah it was crazy scarry. I also had a lot of stress in my life at the time and I didn't realize how much stress and burnout had built up within me. I'm sure that helped contribute to my sleeping situation more so than scarry movies. The sad truth is the boring day to day of real life is more horrific than any horror film.

I'm pretty new here still, but I'm figuring things out and I like it.
The one thing I can not figure out is "boost" can someone explain it to me?

So you would think so, but no. I asked about a gate change and they said "The left from this gate, on time."

So back in the day you could hold home to pull up Google assistant and tell it to translate whatever was on your screen. No matter what app, browser, etc it just worked. I have no idea why they ever got rid of it. Now with the modern version of tap to translate text has to be highlight-able in order to be translated, which is a bone headed decision. It's like they never use the stuff they make.
