  • This was worth the watch. No jump cuts or annoying VO, except to explain the scenes.

  • I’ve been there a few times over the past decade. It’s a major metro city with substantial tourism. The people there are just like people anywhere else in the world in that if you treat them with respect, they will reflect that; and if you treat them like smug shit, they will also treat you like smug shit.

    The semi-popular reputation Paris has is unearned and based in prejudice.

  • From the Wiki:

    The wreck of RMS Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 metres; 2,100 fathoms)

  • But security be off committing their own crimes…

  • The year is 2045, after record profits of 18 quadrillion dollars and formal recognition by the UN, the new nation Republic of Google (formerly Cuba) announces closure of its final web product: Google Search.

  • I am different from Washington; I have a higher, grander standard of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but I won't.

  • Shhhh! I accidentally opened this thread while my phone was connected and EVERYTHING IS FINE RECALCULATING ROUTE.

  • What’s the best way to keep a C-5 running?

    Never turn it off.

  • I used PiHole for a long time, then graduated to self-hosting a VPN so I could get as-blocking when away from my home network.

    Ultimately I ended up using just AdGuard DNS via the DNS profile for iOS, and hard code the DNS into my home routers.

    There might be a better setup, but this simple deployment takes care of 98% of ads.

  • A measly $3.2b. Can hardly afford a new yacht with that!

  • Gruyère, oddly.

  • There’s also SDRUtah.org, WebSDR.org, and KiwiSDR.org. Each has a slightly different interface and following; different bands, antennas, and geographic locations. You really can listen to the world on these.

  • Except for the part where all that’s been preempted by organizational settings.

    Out of the box, Apple does fairly well.

  • If you’re on MacOS, you can run networkquality via crontab and append the results to a text file. I did this for a few months on a congested network to identify ideal times to try and do schoolwork.

    E: A word.

  • Mi parolas iomete da Esperanton, y yo hablo tambien un poquito Español, pero medyo fluent ako sa Pilipino, ang wika taga sa Pilipinas. I’m pretty good at English, too.

  • Depending on material, I get piling all over some of my shirts. One could use a safety razor or something to address piling, but they also make an application-specific piling “shaver”. I should get one haha

  • Do these help prevent piling?
