Padme dying during labor. In an advanced medical tech universe. And the lamest explanation for it "she's lost the will to live"...

Well that's not how girls work and it's quite a telling the script was written by a bloke.

They're cool af. Look at those colours! And the ergonomics.

I leave water bowls for them during summer.

They're not exactly friendly but when you observe them enough you can judge if you're annoying them and should gtfo. Most of the time they just mind their own business.

On the whole, there was little evidence that T. gondii was related to increased risk of psychiatric disorder, poor impulse control, personality aberrations, or neurocognitive impairment.

I love the series and I love the books. It's just not for book purists but they've made a really good take on the universe and it's also beautiful.

Also the P series (succesor of W). X series, just avoid the X1 Carbon.

Doesn't affect humans in this way.

It's actually the whole penis. The glans is only the glans of the clitoris. The other parts (internal) of the clitoris, in the case of a penis, are the whole shaft.

The labias (the large ones) are your scrotum.

The show is based on the universe and some characters created by Asimov but it's freely adapted. You'll have to see the TV shows and the books as two entities, there are a few similarities, Easter eggs, etc. But they're different and both great IF you're not looking for a translation from text to screen.

The TV series is eerily beautiful, the story is better in S2 and more complex. Great cast too and on a "small" budget.

  • W10Privacy (works on both win 10 and 11)
  • I never connect with M$, only a local account. When installing Win11 type Shift+F10 to get a console then type cd oobe bypassNRO.cmd It'll give you access to a local account option.
  • NextDNS for a system wide ads and tracker filtering
  • I've recently switched my mp3 player from AIMP to Dopamine
  • WinCDEmu (outdated but still useful)
  • OnlyOffice Desktop Editors for my clients who can't understand any UI different from MS Office...

My cat actually acts a bit like a dog : follows me, wants pets, fiercely protective.

Firefox user with auto-clear cache on closing: I didn't notice a thing. On Android I use NewPipe, didn't notice anything either.

Defend yourself against what? (I live in western Europe)

I always carry a small Victorinox Navaja classic swiss army knife linked to a small Fenix torch E01. It fits inside the lighter pocket of my jeans.

Also always carry a handkerchief (fabric, not disposable).

As mentionned already, I usually also have earplugs in my jacket or bag. A Go-Girl is a must have too when traveling if you don't have a pee-pee.

Sparks. Best. Band. Ever.

I love the colours. These flowers grow naturally where I leave in southeast France. They're very resistant and bloom all year long. They where my father's favourite and mine too.

Maybe the wifi card your laptop is too old for new gen wifi routers (n, ac, ad, ax, 6E). I've seen that with old Dell laptops.

I've been using Tauon for years now and I still love it.

I enjoyed browsing Gemini capsules using the Lagrange browser. Its look and feel is awesome and made me want to write smol websites again. I'm appalled by what modern websites have become. I miss making light but cool sites without an ounce of scripts in them.

OK but you need money.

If this is an Android phone, go install Accubattery

Too bad that app has 7 trackers embedded and access to the ad ID :/

Series T, P and X (except X1).

ST: Picard wasn't good at all. Especially the last season. It felt like a badly written fanfic. Great cast but terrible writing overall.

The closest in features would be Infomaniak.

Psychic pain and physical pain use the same receptors. So antalgics like paracetamol/acetaminophen work too. You won't miraculously forget the pain but it'll take a bit of the edge of it.

Goat. Ate it in Greece. Roasted with fine herbs. It was delicious.

Dopamine 3 is the closest to AIMP as far I know. I also use it on Windows.

Bandcamp, search for the tag "Library Music".

I prefer btop to htop.

It reminds me of Hylics.

Hi,

It's beautiful :)

Could you share the wallpaper ? I also really like the one illustrating the dot files page, could you share it too pretty please ? 8)

You could always try to "downgrade" the wifi to b/g/n on uour roiter and see if it works then.

Thanks. No Wendigo, then? ;)

Not everyone can afford to spend 60-70 EUR each week plus driving and 1.5h to see a shrink. And those who can't afford that are usually the ones who need therapy the most.

Same here, I use both KeePassXC and Bitwarden. But I dont store heavily sensitive passwords on Bitwarden, like my email passwords, encryption retrieval keys, etc.

Glued or soldered components, lots of issues as far as I've heard. You don't find them refurbished (or rarely) which is a bad sign.

Unlimited calls and SMS/MMS, 200GB data, lots of long distance calls covered: 16€EUR/mo. Why would I change ?

Thank you :)

7-zip on desktop and ZArchiver on Android.

But you can tell when a dish isn't salted just by the smell. I do that often.

Yeah it's a popcorn show. You watch it to relax your brain. It's entertaining as a Xena episode, and the production feels as cheap as Xena's.

But if you've read the books you're wondering what the hell is happening. And it doesn't make you want to read them. That's the lamest part. A show based on books should make you want to read them at some point. I mean, if you adapt them to screen, they must have been loved by a lot of people...
