Ah, the ‘itis!

I knew something was odd. I watch youtube without an account and in the past few days, when trying to watch some of my favorite channels youtube prompted me to “lognin to prove” I’m not a bot. This was only for a handful of channels, others seem to work fine.

I really wish emissions/efficiency/reliability restomods became more common. Fuel injection and a modern cat can really improve an old car.

I’m kind of worried what I’ll drive in 20 years time. There aren’t a lot of cars I like that came out after 2005 and I need to find a way to keep stuff running.

Do you like cumin? I can’t stand the stuff, but I love mint. The reason I ask, is that the molecule responsible for the taste is the same in both, just mirrored.

So far I like this version the best. However, someone put up the human rights logo and I think it would do quite well here, since it’s a dove (as requested), but also looks a bit like a hand. Another request was the color black. Maybe make the pupil black? Pretty sure that covers the commitee’s requests.

Edit: something like this

I’m over thirty and I’m proud to stay that I can outrun a yellowjacket anytime. In fact, I’ve done it several times last week, much to the pleasure of my spectating colleagues.

Just short it mate.

A few years ago I subscribed for a few months, but didn’t dive too deep. Is there still a social aspect to usenet these days or is it just file sharing? It would be great to find forums and such.

A few years ago, I went out and brought myself a nice pair of perscription sunglasses, trouble was I didn’t have any spare cash to buy regular glasses. So, for about 2-3 years I had shades on everywhere I went, day or night. What I noticed is that if you’re confident enough people don’t really mind or act any different. Now that I have both, I easily keep the sunglasses on without noticing and there is no fuss usually unless I go into a bank or something.

I have been exploring Marxist thinking deeply in the past but not for the past few years. True, it might be something to go back to sometime.

I feel a little bit like I was duped by ml. Chose it because the devs were here, but I haven’t thought about the top level domain until I saw their profile pictures. Now, I’m no stranger to leftist views, but I’m pretty far from being ml. I might switch if things get ugly, but I can take some minor stigma for a while longer.

Spotify only pays for the first few listens I think. Also, the payout is a fraction of pennies.

I have a T14 gen1 ryzen 7 (only 16G of ram for now), with integrated graphics running bazzite. Civ 5 and 6, rimworld, FTL run flawlessly. Anno 1800 is a bit laggy, but playable. I also do some sim racing and no complaints there either, if graphics are set just right, so I think that the bar for hardware is pretty low. As for hardware, not sure what I’d go with, but I’m sure there is no need to go overboard. For software bazzite is amazing if you want near hassle free gaming.

As for accessories I have a keychron keyboard which was a worthwhile investment and a Mionix 3200 mouse that’s over 10 years old, still amazed at the build quality and value for money. A good keyboard mouse combo is invaluable.

Taylor, is that you?

I’m sorry, but could you please elaborate? I’m not being facetious, I truly don’t understand what she’s saying/doing.

Interesting, I’ll try and connect via a server where the content might be stashed. I’ll have to look into this, I wondered if there is a technical reason behind enshitification.

EDIT: It works!!

Whenever I see game (and some domestic) animals I instinctively look at them as food and trying to find a way to kill them right then and there. Just the outline of the flesh is enough for an instant plan from slaughter to plate.

Love the idea! Shopify as the highest tier sponsor? Not so much.

Not sure there will be any.
