Well, that’s easy. That must be “Kut”, which, not surprisingly means cunt in Dutch.

Thats a very shallow take on reality you have here.

Sure, being a good owner means providing care, safety, food, entertainment and most of all: love.

But still, its a dog. (Or cat. Or rabbit or whatever.)The moment the situation could sink you financially, that is the moment you pull the plug, take the hit, the pain and move on. You have that choice with an animal. And 9 out of 10 times it’s the best option for everyone, including the animal.

You don’t hurt something, create more suffering just because you can’t take the loss.

Looking at the last year of my Fathers life we all (himself first and foremost) wished we had that humane option as well. Fall to sleep. Float away painless. But alas, for humans we don’t have that option. For reasons no sane people can explain we humans must cruelly endure a lot of pain, mental stress and indignation in that final period.

And we should not extend that cruelty (because thats what it is, most life prolonging “final” care in our seniors) to our pets.

Accident? Broken paw? Appendicitis? Or similar fixable stuff? fix it!

Liver or kidney failure? Heart disease? Cancer? Brain damage? (Partial) Paralysis?

Nah. Don’t hurt it and yourself more. Take the loss.

Sex in space (Rockets), 10 mile High club (sex on planes), sex on a nuked atol in the Pacific…

Nobody had this, it was way too expensive for what it was. Everybody just kept saving for a msx or Commodore and skipped this.

Oh, you sweet summer child…

Up to the 90s my friend. Then 3.5 floppy"s took over (1.44 MEGAbyte!) then came zip (100MB) but only for rich people, then it became the era of CD and later dvd burning. Internet was not measured in mbits back then and most of the time not even in kbits. The internet was not a valid delivery system. It was slow and very expensive. Also the first memory cards (CF) around the millennium and from there it went on to the 10s and around there you got the pivot to what we have now.

Tape is still around in computing; its cheap, it’s cheerful, dependable and has quite a throughput. Seeking on it is still horrible though. But anyway, watching a real mechanised tapelibrary do it’s thing backing up computer systems is still mesmerizing.

I’ve a creative air thingy headphone. Great device. It comes with the sweetest asian female voice you can imagine.

So yes. It’s so Lovely. It’s the voice accompanying all your (manga) waifu dreams.

Too bad you can’t really understand what she says. But who cares, right?

Yeah it’s funny. Post about stuff just working out of the box.

First reply: Open source. Downgrade. So… Do exactly what the post is raging about.

“This song is not a rebel song. This song is Sunday, bloody Sunday” or, better: fuck you and your mother. I will say what I want when I want.and call you fuckers out for all the bullshit you put us through. But, since these are the eighties i will do it somewhat politely.

Boy. October. War. Under a bloodred sky.

Somewhere along there they got lost and made the unfo. Still good but… fuck Eno.

Then it all exploded with the Joshua tree. They became the biggest band on earth, almost imploded under their own weight during/after R&H. Reinvented themselves with Achtung Baby and Zooropa and became what we have nowadays.

But that glorious beginning, the rage, the pain. The angst of our entire generation in those three albums with bloodred sky as the magnificent encore. The Magnus opus.

It was nothing like them now. I can’t even name their last albums.

“buy”

So renting is not an issue! Or as a Service…

So many options left. Next time I talk to big red I’ll ask the rep about his interpretation of this training.

;)

The issue with Musk is the very clear meddling in EU politics first, second his insane behavior and third, his Nazi salute.

If he kept in his lane and just kept his MAGA insanity stateside the Fallout would be a lot less worse.

But the moment he entered the EU political scene he murdered his brandS in the EU.

they will never recover. The damage was done at the worst time possible, when kia, Hyundai andthe entire German automobile industry went all out with EVs and China (byd) entered the EU EV market.

Tesla is done.

SELL. don’t HODL.

You mean continue as it has been for the last few hundreds of years, got it.

Really, looking at world history I can’t really find a time of which I think: oh, it would’ve been nice to be Russian back then!

Being Russia(n) is just one giant cluster fuck and has been for a very long time. Or maybe not one giant, but several very big ones with small breaks of a few years in between.

So I’m happy I live in NL.

It was finished and buggy… it’s now finished, fixed and expanded.

Eve just fucked around blowing up shit. Like everything Apple.

Wall-e tried to clean the world.

Untill I saw UP. I just broke at that first scene. It’s just such a fantastic tale about life and the journey it is.

Up, wall-e, Toy story 1-3 are Pixar prime.

I somewhat got your arguments. I just don’t feel the same about current day powertoys. They are not needed, don’t add anything useful and don’t work in a lot of setups. Current day powertoys are not what powertoys of the past where.

MS being focussed on the wrong shit to soon: well that has been true ever since the company existed. In the end looking back each and every innovation they did was needed but just years too soon and way too rough around the edges. I Guess we’ll see the same with ai. Some things will stick and be used by others but refined.

All the things you say are mandatory are a distraction at best. And hog a lot of resources.

Spotlight run: adds nothing except being a slow down. It’s not that different from the standard search/run box. It just looks nicer. Way nicer.

Fancy zones: does not work reliable on multi monitor/big monitor setup. Useless in my use case. Has been for several years.

Fie renamer: … Really? This is a power tot these days?

Screen ruler: i don’t need rulers on my desktop, i need them in my apps.

Color picker: same. I do not have any use case for it. This is standard app functionality.

Every time i installed powertoys in the last 4/5 years i shrugged, cursed at Fancy zones for not working in my setup and removing it after a few days.

That’s the same usage loop as rainmaker or most stardock tools by the way. Good ideas but fucks up to many things.

The new tabbed shell. (Or not so new anymore these days) Now that is a real powertoy. Or the lnx subsysteem.

If you don’t have the time to read a book,watch a movie or play a game you should not start it.

I’m over 50, like you only have a few hours, i have a tremendous backlog of games i just have to play and a family to provide for. (mechwarrior clans is the first one which comes to mind but i have dozens)

But i came back for this event. You miss nothing. Every weapon you can “buy” does not really alter the game or changes anything. The standard liberator is still one of the very best primaries.

1000 super credits are easily farmed just by doing missions. Do low level missions, race to the poi’s with the car, rinse repeat.

Fun? No. But you said farming so this is it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

By just playing the game for little over a week, so no farming, just playing, i’ve gathered 700 sc.

The medals are easily gathered doing level 5 and up missions and completing your personal orders. And taking part in the majors of course.

As an oppo user I can only say: you’re wrong. You’re very wrong.

Samsung one UI is a godsend compared with this… This … shit.

Popups, tracking, insane ui choices. Half of the shit doesn’t work behind a pihole which in itself is damning enough. Everything feels bolted on. Everything feels like its only there to check boxes. Nothing feels natural. Gestures here but not there. Apple style features in Android so half of the time you’re totally lost: does this option still use standard Android logic or is this rewritten as an apple clone?

I really feel tricked into buying this phone. Excellent reviews but the user experience is very lacking. Maybe all of the reviewers are apple users and are happy to see all this shit in Android but I for one am lost. I use Android because i hate the apple way of doing things. If i wanted an apple device I would’ve bought an apple device.

I kept it because i thought it would get used to it. I did not.

It wouldve been easier to just state:

I am the Musk. I mean borg. Resistance is futile. I will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to my own. Your culture will adapt to service me.

Way simpler and everyone would get it.
