Work, play, procrastinate, and panic.

Born is the memes.

This article's mentioned examples of disharmony, confusion, further division, and fragmentation... are really not even a global issue across Android. It cited a hardware-specific accessory, an Amazon internal corporate decision, and ignores a basic fact about apps or services is you can go with another app or service to fit your personal liking and functionality.

Also the three people from the "distracted boyfriend" meme were all stock photo models.

"We take this thing here... and push it all the way over here."

Any pet knife owner will tell you about the risks involved with that.

Holy frijoles. I can't put a good spin on that, other than... I wish Shittywatercolour (a random redditor artist) had painted a pleasant drawing for you instead of my comment here.

Not too many Luigis living in the US I can assume. No big perks or benefits from it. One time a teacher said, "I don't know how to spell Luigi... so I'll call you Lewis", and slapped that hello-my-name-is nametag on me.

The code is JavaScript--an integral part of displaying modern websites. Not since the days before 2001 and very simple browsers like Netscape Navigator 3 and Internet Explorer 3 that didn't yet have javascript. Today that is what adblock is doing - it stops loading untrustworthy or unwanted bits and pieces of code while still giving the end-user (most of) the javascripts they need. Instead of the default action, "ok, gimme the whole webpage code, as-is". That last sentence, that's Chrome. I can explain it some more further. But that's the jist of it.

My second irrational fear is cats are quite literate and can read all this.

As in fully functional animatronics with hapatic feedbacks, micro-hydrolics, and micro-heater elements? Oh, and whatthehay - synthetic voice? I'm guessing.

edit- moved this comment to here

By streamers ignoring all the decades of broadcasting experience, and all established what's fair air-time for both content and commercial. That's the frustration... they're rewriting standards... "my company, my content, my timings, my bottom-line". And doing it poorly. And at top speed.

I wouldn't doubt there is at least one cat out there that makes really smooth icey margaritas.

Amateur hour

Research and shop around for a type of fan called a centrifugal blower or utility blower. These fans are designed specifically for entire space ventilation. They sound like tiny jet engines. The same fans that inflate bouncy fun houses or the fans you sometimes see on a storefront wet floor during a rainy day to blow dry. Output rates of small units 100 to 500cfm (cubic feet per minute) will replace all air inside a 2-car garage space every hour. Mid range blowers 600-900cfm will replace that same air space every 5-10min (approx. 6x per hour). Higher velocity blowers >1000cfm will clear an entire 1-story house (typically for HVAC or factory use) and is more efficient and quieter than the biggest attic fan style unit.

After you have bought the raw power of air movement, then experiment with positive pressure and negative pressure flow setups (suck vs. blow). And then finally other per room or per window configurations as needed.

I learned what that look looks like by watching Letter Kenny.

Would I be correct that this hobby, if it's not just having a nice thing for everyday use, does it eventually lead into: calligraphy, fancy stationary, special vellum papers, custom wax stamp seal kits, grinding your own ink, etc?

What is the oldest one you have? Any cool story behind it? Like it's inherited from royalty, it's got 3 different fruits on it, etc?

This is interesting. I use OTA antenna tv everyday, almost exclusively. I almost forgot OTA HDTV still uses the mpeg2-ts, similar to the dvd codec. Newer tv hardwares (>2010-ish) all can decode mpeg4, theoretically, since they utilize internet streaming apps and services.
I smell a new format war a comin'.
I say, go right for mpeg4 h.265, or higher. Instead of mixing mpeg2 and mpeg4, like the video demonstrated. Because no way am i going to "buy" a DRM-protected thing for every broadcaster.... I'm currently pulling-in 20+ stations.

And that may be the other format war... to pay or not to pay.

BigClive on youtube talked about his new work phone made for engineers. It had a FLIR infrared camera!

Let's see...
1990 - Teen crush invites me over, plays strip poker.
1998 - Lycos chatted with Grandpa Munster (Al Lewis).
2001 - Help build a school.
2006 - Created a webcomic.
2007 - Gammar was embarrassing, proceeded to write a unpublished 13 episode screenplay as pure spelling and grammar practice.
2023 - typed this comment.

Hmmm, 9/100 πŸ™‚

Only Chuck Norris can use a copy machine and get an original.

Mine, I add some unicode emojis to make it look nice.

Did this happen a few days ago? There was hurricane Hillary off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. That threw lots of rain and lightning on Los Angeles and the Sierra mountains. I am in the central valley, and only got a rare summer sprinkle but a wicked light show too!

You have a tourbillion, haven't you? ☺️

Ahh, the beloved VCR! Also while recording, pressing pause to leave out the tv commercials, forgetting to unpause, the station interrupting news breaks, a low-flying airplane messing up the tv reception, someone changing the channel while you went to go to the bathroom. And my all-time favorite... dad placing his big brand new stereo speakers right next to the little videotape shelf!

I find mobile FF does have a webview component (aka custom tabs), but it must be explicitly called for in a app's setting. Otherwise the system only uses the Chrome webview.

I even installed the Mulch webview app. But the system still used Chrome's webview; that's until i temporarily disabled Chome. It was then Mulch shows up in deveolper settings.

Same. Out of respect for the original company's employees, founders, and devs.

Check out the Discovery Channel tv show, Combat Dealers. I'm guessing basically that -- learning old history, topping one's collection with the most obscurest\rarest item, etc.

The Google Nearby feature thing (Google's coming version of Apple Air Tags) will require a constant background Bluetooth scanner to listen for the tags.

My opinion: that stays off. Looking for your lost phone, luggage, or ex-wife? Im not going to help you if i dont know you. Buy a new item, take better care of it.

There exists filter block lists, userscripts, browser add-ons, the old-old mbasic mobile version of the FB website, and webview apps like Frost. But it's quite well-known now big sites like Twitter, FB, Reddit, etc, are using dynamic ever-changing anti-adblock techniques. It is quite exhausting keeping up with which solution works today and which one doesn't... "a cat and mouse game".

In honest, it's not Reddit-like hate here. Just comments experience consistant of, "well, I myself have tried all the tricks and at end of it, I'm tired, I gained little to nothing out of it. Try walking away from it maybe". Or like me, use FB sparingly -- like credit cards, ex-girlfriends, or M.S.G. in food.
