I don’t blame them. I expect viewership is down, as well as the other factors. Heck, when I click a link that goes to a tweet and it tells me I have to login… I press the back button.

I have a login. But nah.

Electric toothbrush.

Invest in your teeth. Trust me.

While they have other not-friendly practices, Apple does well on the software side. The iPhone 8, going on 6 years old this September, is still running the latest version of iOS.

I've been away from Android for a while now. Is it still the case that there is a lot of fragmentation and updates end prematurely? Or is there another OS / software you're thinking about?

Regarding the first two, I find charging my EV at home means I rarely have to consider public charging. I’ve started to find stopping at the gas station way more inconvenient.

When I lived in the city, I maintained charge with a standard 120v outlet. In a rural area, I am doing well with a 240v (15a).

12 hour+ road trips are the only thing I hesitate on much anymore — sometimes I love the EV road trip, and other times I’m just looking to make good time.

It’s these types of moves that get me workin’ my way out of an ecosystem. I’ve already been strongly considering not-a-Mac as my next laptop.

Idiocracy

There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!

I’m not an expert, so take this as far as you’d like — reading has real benefits to our brains such as improving vocabulary, improving critical thinking skills, and improving focus. I don’t think short form videos give us the same brain benefits.

Here’s an article from Piedmont health on the benefits of reading. I haven’t seen such an article for short form videos, but am open to it if there is one.

And a politician he is, willing to be bought in exchange for political capital.

Stealing from my comment in a different thread:

I’m still upset with Buttigieg for his pre-Super-Tuesday drop out. He joined the establishment to rally against Sanders. In doing so, he became part of what’s wrong with the party.

While I don’t think poorly of him as a person per se, he is also just another politician.

In contrast, I see folks like Sanders and AOC as real agents of change.

This dude hasn’t wrapped with the good shit. Serious creases. No unexpected rips. Scissors glide smoothly for the cut.

Spend a few extra bucks and be a wrap god.

I’m not here to condone smoking, but OP isn’t here for unsolicited advice either.

Irrelevant, unless your pihole is running on your DHCP server. Does the server running pihole have a statically assigned IP that is within the DHCP range being assigned to other devices?

Static addresses should be outside of your DHCP range, ideally. If you can’t change the range, and assuming sequential handouts of IPs from your router among other things, you can try setting the server’s static IP to a bigger number.

I think your response answers the question.

If configured correctly. Can be fast. IMO, once those statements are less conditional and prone to error, we might see the pro of privacy carry more weight.

Couldn’t sleep. Needed to see this.

Sometimes it’s because of the temperature delta. Really cold outside and warm inside might feel hot, comparatively. Apparent temperature stuff.

Other times it’s probably over compensation for the thin skinned.

Are there really zero stakes? Does the work a child does in K-12 not impact their opportunities post K-12?

Sex has been a long-standing issue in organized sport. The IOC has their own challenges with it, even.

Club sports, as opposed to organized sports, are more of the “for fun / zero stakes” type of sport IMO.

I wish the issue was more black and white, but holy cow is it a tough one when you dig your heels in.

Perhaps your experience with “crazy big beards” is actually with unkempt, long beards.

My face friend is smooth AF and garners trust at the workplace. But ya gotta take care of it. Ya know — hygiene and shit.

I heard it put something like this once:

We used to all live around each other, and on the weekends we’d go to the bowling alley and have to listen to each other. It didn’t matter if I agreed with who was talkin, and it didn’t matter if they agreed with me. We talked. We argued. And then we bowled and had fun.

Today, we talk, we argue, and, after the “fuck off”, we get angrier at each other.

It grinds my gears so hard. At first I submitted feedback, thinking everyone wants good documentation. Then I realized the ploy.

Also, chat bots. Fuck me for being able to think through the basics and needing real help, right?

Maybe the content reached its peak, but I’d argue we are in a better place now UX-wise.

Full disclosure: I type this from a network running pihole. Flashing banner ads to other people’s blogs were definitely better than todays adverts — and I’m looking at you, most recipe sites.

It’s still free to you. It’s not a paywall.

Mind you, you’re not contributing at all to support the material you’re consuming — there are other humans trying to make a living off the stuff you want for free.

Support things you value, otherwise they might disappear. Or worse, they introduce a true paywall.
