Yes, I really wanted to buy something like that, the first time I heard about it. But then, looking through stores, seeing these second-hand mini-sneses being at least 35 pounds, sometimes up to 100, even though I could…
I guess it's a cultural thing + buyer's remorse or how you call it, since that's what you've been exposed to for the most of your life. I grew up in the other part of the world, the only popular games being Quake 1/2/3,…
Imagine you're 38 years old, you go like a normal person to a normal persons job interview. Now your new employer obviously doesn't have access to your DNA, but he has an active subscription to…
As a matter of fact, never heard of "boeuf bourgignon", so I had to check it's wiki page. 1. Fry meat + <<whatever else usually grows in Europe, or in/around France>> (givin' it's a french dish). 2. Once done, smash…
As an example, once I bought a fresh jar of olives, but I forgot I already had like 1/3 leftover jar in the fridge. So I started wondering what I could make, so given olives are associated with Italy, I thought, there…
I don't think it's a stretch, he put it much better words than I could have done. P.S. For cooking I've been using exclusively wikipedia for the last 3-5 years. It's actually amazing the kind of content you can find.…
I'd rather encourage people to post useful things on their own sites. Maybe, hopefully, one day, both google and other search engines might start penalizing content farms and have personal blogs and websites surface…
I started making something similar back in the time when I was trying to learn some php (self-hosted LAMP setup). Stopped mostly because I wasn't able to find a proper English dictionary for NLP. Second reason was the…
I've been logged in into the same google account for at least 10 years. Google knows exactly who I am, and what I am/want/etc. Yet the moment I landed in the UK, suddenly, I'm English, most of the times getting just…
Googling exactly "herpes covid" from my IP, gives 10/10 papers on the first page. On second page, I got 4 more papers, a paper disproving it, one reuters article about misuse of antivirals, and 4 articles about new…
What strikes me, this was done in early 2021, yet the propaganda machine is still going strong with that whole persistent cough and fever thing... It's like there are entire establishments trying to guard information…
This is what I was talking about.. Sonos basically reinvented my Samsung remote. (+ the 8 meter cable I made as a 14 year old kid so I can connect it to the TV which was on the other side of the living room, cause my…
I'm in the same vein as the OP you're replying.. I got a cheap HIFI (I think) Samsung system from 20+ years ago (paid $100 second-hand at that time), I use it as an amplifier through aux for the last 15 years (2x15W).…
1. - Not OP, but I believe the moment you put some music/radio on speakers for other people to listen, legally, you become a broadcaster. You can't just play anything you want, you need a license :) I recall my last…
> You really think that owner operators repair their own trucks? That doesn't make any economic sense. This is not a hobby, they need to drive to make money not to play truck repairman. Oh yes! I have seen this unfold…
> A large part of the justification of using outsourced workers is that they live in an area with a lower cost of living than the company's headquarters, so they can be paid less while still having a good quality of…
By "proper ID" you mean the right kind of country ID, I assume? Cause I've been denied by two banks, the third bank even had two countries blacklisted.. that's right, on their official website they wrote: "we are…
This only works if you fit that stereotypical definition of what a "normal" person looks like or does. As soon as you deviate even a little from the norm, suddenly you got problems. I had to do two interviews with a…
As a long time foobar user, when switching to linux I only found quodlibet to be able to sort by multiple columns at the same time, quite buggy but kinda works, for a few days, then it resets for whatever reason. Gonna…
For my entire life I've tried to become a programmer, went as far as studying CS for three years, never managed to get a diploma as I ran into some financial and health issues... you mention > I know no one actually…
So if you left open the front door of a police station and I enter to see how an unrelated part of the building is built, and accidentally grab a gun I see on somebody's desk.. then I would most certainly expect to be…
I believe what we've got today in most countries is pretty ok, maybe ambiguous but it does the job as far as an ethically concerned person would go. In my country they classify it as "unauthorized access". That's…
> Very fun times storing your home-work on a disk, bringing the disk to school and being unable to read it. Very common problem. I never had that while growing up. Used floppies for ~6 years, since school computers were…
I believe you're halfway right. The way I see the tech space today is that everybody likes pizza. Except back in the days, you'd have to go to the grocery store, buy your ingredients then cook it at home. Today you have…
Maybe in the high-end only? Speaking of low to mid end tvs, the ones I saw on display in local shops, they were just overpriced junk.. Even though it's smaller, I installed my 7? year old 24" benq fhd e-ips monitor as a…
