You mean the Portland Polycule From Hell? That was determined to be fake unfortunately, someone was just having fun making up stories.

Genetically-optimal? How in the fuck do they determine that? Hot and hot = optimal, I’d assume. I haven’t checked the website to see if they have photos of the people or anything.

Media can be pretty damn biased and the people who voted for him mostly watch Fox News AFAIK. Go watch those guys for a day and see how they portray Trump vs the democrats

I don't know any Hungarian, but here in Estonia, cinema or movie theater is pretty much an euphemism for drama or just something funny happening and has been for a long time. Common sayings are "siin hakkab kino saama" (there's going to be cinema here) or "paras kino oli" (that was some cinema), etc. Cinema is generally not used as a countable noun in these cases. If by some miracle I was in a room where JD Vance and Trump got into a fistfight, I would say "it's about to be cinema here" when the first one raises his fists.

The saying famously of course is "one bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch" /s

ESC then :wq Write quit :q! Force quit (no save) I don’t even use vim, other than for commit messages lol

No, combustion engines don’t weigh much nowadays. 100-300 KG is common. Battery pack alone for a Model S is 544 KG, motor+inverter+transmission is another 140ish. For an RWD car, AWD of course adds another one of these (it also adds drivetrain complexity in an ICE vehicle, but not as much additional weight as in an EV). VW ID.3 is apparently 41% heavier than a similar sized Golf.

Who wants a more front-heavy car? That’s just a recipe for understeer and I prefer having the ability to turn on ice.

You can put a petrol fire out in less than a few days though. Petrol doesn’t magically catch fire upon seeing oxygen either.

Does the robot have any sharp bits? Tempered glass doesn’t require much force if using, say, a broken bit of spark plug.

Not yet

I’m tired of mine all the time. Many have told me they’ve never seen a child with this much energy and determination (once my kid’s decided on something, it takes a LOT of effort to stop it from happening). Never have I considered yeeting the little demon though. That’s a special kind of evil.

Could seem like a choice to them. Plus I think ace is also a bit of a spectrum.

Anything that doesn’t kill you brings you closer to death in some way if it is hurtful. Uhhh exercise can be hurtful (muscle soreness) and I’m sure we can find other examples Not that I disagree with the rest of your post. I love a good sauna, but the joy of it is that it ends when I get out (and maybe jump into a pile of snow). A heat wave is just… Taxing

They could be asexual as well. Otherwise, I agree that it’s best to start collecting experience earlier rather than later. 30 year old me has half the stamina of 20 year old me, but can satisfy partners with a much better success rate. And at the end of the day, the best part about sex is making your partner feel good. But that doesn’t mean one should have sex just to have sex. Only one of my partners has been a meaningless one night stand I wasn’t even attracted to, every other one I’ve had some kind of feelings for.

No Android fork that I know of, but the APIs are separate crates from the gtk ui so there’s nothing stopping you from using those crates to create an Android app unless there’s some dependency that doesn’t sit well with Android or something - I haven’t tried it.

Unfortunately yes. I still think the rotary knob is the ultimate infotainment control interface since it’s much easier to use while driving. Still, I’ll take the large screen for navigation over my tiny one even if I have to use the touch screen. Voice control rarely works for me, I have a very thick accent.

You can also contribute to PipeLine, it’s a desktop client that aggregates YouTube and a few others. And it’s written in Rust. The issue with YouTube is the network effect though. Even if you can get a lot of users to use one of those multi platform clients, it’s still hard to get the creators to leave. And till they stay, the users stay.

Some of the brands have turned to shit tho. Samsung used to make reliable washers about two decades ago. Bosch appliances used to have a better reputation. Etc. Miele is the only one still making supposedly reliable stuff but I read they’re relaxing their once great parts availability policy. No they’re not getting cheaper, just enshittifying.

Apparently this is the whole subject of her charity: kids being accused of witchcraft and such. It’s sad that this is an incredibly common occurrence.

Plastic is never a great material for parts whose primary purpose is transmission of power, especially via friction (so gears and such). It's great for parts that don't have to withstand any force, but unfortunately it increasingly gets used for parts that do. When you make the motor, including the shaft itself, out of metal, saving 2 grams by making a cog out of the cheapest ~~chocolate~~ plastic available isn't saving much weight or money. It does however guarantee the device will fail earlier. You can also have a more efficient system without sacrificing durability. Take a look at the Bosch CP3 high pressure fuel pump. Stout metal piston. Million kilometers is not unheard of. Meanwhile, Continental/Siemens made a hpfp that used super thin membranes to pump fuel. Those usually die in less than 100k km. Both available at the same time and both serve the goal of enabling using direct injection to improve fuel efficiency and emissions. But the joke here is that the Bosch one runs at much higher pressures (it's for diesels) and is STILL cheaper to buy new. So people with engines that use the Siemens one would just scrap the car if it goes and they can't get a specific used piston pump to replace it with (also a Bosch one, but I forgot the name). This is in the GM 2.2 Direct engine in Vauxhalls and Opels. Those cars have disposable fueling systems (and engines in fact since you can melt a piston once that membrane pump fails).

None of those have all the creators and people don’t want to go between multiple apps. This fight is lost. The way to win it now is legislation or blowing up data centers.

Yes. You will quit YouTube. But 99% of people won’t and they make YouTube more revenue via either watching more ads or giving up and subscribing

It’s nice to have it on a fixed screen of decent size rather than on a floppy mount and a 6.x" screen. The car screen doesn’t need to be a touchscreen though. My Mercedes had Carplay with a rotary dial, no touchscreen. That was when they were still being conservative with their tech, then they went the hyperscreen route.

There literally are cases of switching from steel moving parts to plastic in appliances. Plus many manufacturers no longer sell spare parts past past maybe a year or two. Appliances used to cost actual money so they had to be reliable and more importantly, repairable. Good luck finding spare parts for most washing machines or TVs nowadays. They’re designed to be thrown away because otherwise you no longer have any reason to upgrade. At least 50 years ago, technology changed fast enough that you’d have incentive to upgrade for efficiency, features, etc.

It’s not because of efficiency that things last less time now. Crucial parts that used to be made of metal are now plastic to save money, etc.

They yearn for the mines after all

No, that's literally one size I've never seen.

I was into my 20s before I realized they're NOT Florida ounces. But then I grew up and still live with the metric system.

2 liters is pretty common for foreign stuff in Estonia. Aka stuff made by coca cola mostly. Price per liter is a bit better than 1.5 liters so it makes more sense for get-togethers. Locally made stuff usually doesn't get past 1.5 liter bottles except for kali (kvass). And juice too, but that's in tetrapak not bottles.

Their English name is officially Republic of Türkiye

There’s dozens of sources, I linked the first one. The things they mention actually happened and have been corroborated by other sources. She basically always agrees with Putin’s propaganda. Either she’s an asset or a useful idiot.

It's 2026, the net beneficiary of marriage is whichever half earns less. Assuming shared finances. Which due to the gender pay gap tends to actually be the woman, but could also be the man. Divorces aren't terribly difficult to get in any sane parts of the world and there's really not much power you get over the other party that they don't also get over you. Plus if you're a woman, developed countries tend to have things like women's safety centers to get away from abusive spouses (wish they also had them for men in my country, but luckily that ordeal is mostly over for me). Also two women can get married, which of them then owns the other one? If it's chattel.

I'm assuming there's a shithole country somewhere where you need expensive private insurance to have healthcare and perhaps it also covers spoUSes?

Well, she's one in a million. Or at least I literally don't know anyone else who's as horrible of a human being as her, other than maybe the guy she just broke up with (literally a match made in heaven, those two). But there's still plenty of horrible people around judging by other people's stories so I'm gonna agree that being too picky is good. In fact, it's kinda funny because nearly everyone I know is a genuinely good person. If my dating pool and my friends had any overlap at all, finding a partner who doesn't suck would probably be a bit easier. But pretty much all the women I know are in happy long-term relationships. So for now I'd rather be single than get on Tinder again. I'd rather build a friendship first before even considering dating a person.

It literally stopped child abuse, or at least put a pause on it. Because legally we have to let her see her children and the older one has a custody agreement for every other weekend but right now she doesn’t have a place to take them to. She also doesn’t threaten me with police or court every other day anymore, so that’s nice I think? This is a woman who hits children. I’ve even seen her hit one with a belt, but it wasn’t one of her own that time. Nobody has videos though so it doesn’t matter. Doesn’t even matter how many people heard her 4 (now 5) year old cry out “I don’t wanna go to mommy” or complain that mommy pulls her hair. Because nothing can be proven.

You don't have to know how terrible a person has to be for an unbiased child protective services agent to say that it's probably a good thing if she gets evicted because then it'll be easier to prove in court that she can't even take care of herself. She gets a job, goes there for a month, decides to go on sick leave for 4 months, asks me to buy her a car so she can dump her abusive boyfriend she only got together with because he drove a Mercedes (not even a nice one like my old one before she trashed it, but it's the badge that matters), I refuse, then 2 days later she tells me I'm not seeing my child again (was supposed to be with her for the weekend, ended up being a month of no contact). Then a month later she tells me her boyfriend's been yelling at our 1.5 year old the entire time and even beat her (my ex). So I get my kid back and email her saying that it's not okay to let our child live in such an environment and I'm not letting it happen anymore. She replies "just because you saw a police car doesn't mean that anything happened, it could've been for our neighbours", not knowing I recorded her detailing how her boyfriend abuses our child. I didn't even mention the police car in my email. She was the one that called them on her boyfriend. We then later agree she gets to see the kid every other weekend when her older kid is also visiting. First time, she steals the car chair that I let her use and sells it. Second time she asks me to pack more stuff and I say I simply can't because she keeps selling her children's shit. She tells me that in retaliation, she's going to keep the kid and tell CPS that she doesn't trust me. Two more weeks of me not seeing my child at all and then 3 months of her complaining to everyone she can't afford food and diapers while refusing to give up and let the child live with me. She doesn't see other people as human beings. They're tools for her to get enjoyment and her needs met. Including her children. And thanks to me, her landlord, a really nice person who rents out their old apartment after moving rather than hoarding property, was only scammed out of 2 months rent rather than multiple. Because even if they sue, the debt will just expire in 10 years and my ex doesn't work enough to have it garnished out of her wages. She works for a few months and then finds a boyfriend so she can get pregnant or goes on sick leave. Child #1 was born out of a similar story as I later found out. Her friend told me she was trying to get pregnant again so she could go on maternal leave and guilt trip her boyfriend into giving her a bigger allowance, which explains why she kept trying to have (unprotected of course) sex with me. Boyfriend is thought to be infertile.

Okay so the timelines were quite simplified. She didn't change immediately after getting pregnant, but after she got me to agree that we should keep it. Initially I wanted her to get an abortion. Not that it's my choice, but I told her I don't think I'm ready to raise a child. So this actually happened once or twice like 2 months into the relationship and and then another time a few months after the birth, but then she told me I was too harsh on her clit that time, after which I decided that I'd rather not do anything to her without her being awake to give me feedback.

After we broke up, I kept the kid. She has not been happy about it and tried to change it, but since she split up with her new boyfriend she has no steady place to live nor a job, so I have my child back again. Was about to sue her to get custody back anyway. Might still sue her so we’d have an official custody arrangement. Child protective specialist in my area is very aware of her overall behaviour and she’s been seen trying to discipline physically so she’s going to be demolished in court. And if I’m completely honest, I’m part of the reason she’s homeless. I made sure her landlord would know to kick her out soon as the rent payments stop rather than believing her sob stories. I’m also part of the reason she broke up with her boyfriend, as I told her about his debts and the fact that there’s constantly people looking for him to collect in person or “have a discussion”. He was the one putting a roof over their heads for the last 2 months or so since he’s the better scammer (owes dozens if not hundreds of people money - same as my ex, but even bigger in scale). I also plan on suing her for child support a bit later down the line when she has a job. If she fails to make those payments, she’ll be in her 50s by the time the debt expires, child support debt doesn’t start expiring until the child is 18 and it’s 10 years to expire then. And if you think that’s too much, it’s not even a percent of the abuse she’s perpetrated against me, her kids (ours and the older sibling), her own family and friends. Her mother even needs to make sure her 80 something year old grandmother never has any money on her because she’ll literally go clean out her grandmother otherwise.

Gabbard is a pro-Kremlin conspiracy nutter

Just about the only good thing about my ex (in general, as a person, not just sexually) was that she said it's okay if she wakes up to me fingering her. Still only did it like 2 or 3 times because after she got pregnant "on the pill" like a month into our relationship, sex became a currency for her to get me to buy things and I didn't like it too much anymore.

It was a personal device apparently.

Smart watches often have mics because they can be used to take calls without having your phone on you (still has to be near you unless it’s a cellular smartwatch), or to use the assistants or whatever. The PineTime (Pro) is the one place where this shouldn’t worry you because whatever software you’re running on it was installed by you so you’ve hopefully vetted it for security.

The real avantage is fewer dishes and less prep time before the actual cooking. However I usually find that pasta water takes enough time to start boiling that I can just chop up the ingredients and start the sauce while that's happening. With premade I've just chucked it in the hot pasta which heats it up enough AND cools down the pasta so I can eat it quicker. Also locally made premade sauces in my country are 2-3 EUR which makes them actually cheaper than homemade because I usually put either mince or chicken in my sauces and those already cost more than the entire premade sauce lol. Of course homemade is way better but honestly sometimes I feel like I'd be saving money if I used premade.

2009 Internet was a different place tbf

I need to get out more because I recognise the reference

Not even. It’s even worse there, I’m in Estonia. Summer sunshine is ridiculous though. More so in Norway of course.

Man I have to settle for a purple thing with a hole in it, I don't even know what it is

To be fair non-profit doesn’t mean you can’t charge for your services. You just can’t pay profit out as dividends so there’s no incentive to overcharge.

Aww no caffeine. The idiot teenager I used to be would’ve loved to try four loko, but that wasn’t a thing here. I guess it’s better for me that it wasn’t. At least jägermeister with local energy drinks wasn’t good enough to try again.
