If you need to remember something for the next time you go out, put your shoes somewhere odd. When you go to leave, you’ll remember you moved them, which will remind you why you moved them.
I use my hands to kind of do the same thing. It’s probably the behaviour they modeled Monk’s “hand thing” after. It still helps even if I’m searching using my memory and spatial awareness to recall and search through something I am not currently looking at. Somehow, narrowing the scope physically with my hands helps. It’s probably a muscle memory or proprioception thing.
For example, if I want to find something to eat in the fridge. I generally won’t be able to think of anything by just opening the fridge and looking through it. Unless there is something super obvious like a leftover pizza box or something else impossible to miss like that. Just trying to search by looking at each shelf only increases the odds of finding something by like 5%. But when I use my hand and slowly move it down the shelves, I can somehow think more clearly about what is on each shelf than I could without using my hand. And, as I mentioned, it also works even if I am no longer looking in the fridge. I can do it with the door closed and still more clearly recall what was on each shelf.
It also helps when scanning through my whole house looking for something, with and without currently having eyes on it. Like scanning through the whole house room by room while still sitting at my computer, I do a much better job if I am pointing my hand at the place I am thinking about as I scan.
I should probably mention I am Autistic, my spatial awareness and proprioception are two areas I have seemed to benefit. But it’s very easy to get confused or distracted if I have too much information at once. So that is mostly what is going on. I can’t just imagine that I am pointing at something in my imagination to gain the benefit, I have to be literally, physically pointing. Although I can translocate, like not be at my house or fridge and still scan my house or fridge by pointing relatively where each thing would be if they were there.
It’s not limited in scope as far as I can tell. Though it is kind of limited in resolution. The bigger the area I am scanning, the less detail I can recall about it when I am not there, or “looking through walls”. But when I am there, I can go as fine grained as the search demands, just takes longer.
For the fifth time since 2008, Russia has proposed to negotiate with the U.S. over security arrangements, this time in proposals made by President Vladimir Putin on June 14, 2024. Four previous times, the U.S. rejected the offer of negotiations in favor of a neocon strategy to weaken or dismember Russia through war and covert...

There’s a lot of comments talking about used and refurbs. I personally use these types to get good deals but I also have a reasonably robust backup protocol. Not a full 321 backup but an appropriate level of risk for my needs.
My point being, if you go that route, they’re cheaper but the odds that one dies on you might be higher. Make sure you manage your backup strategy to a risk value you’re comfortable with.
That said, I’ve also had great experiences with serverpartdeals. I’ve also used diskprices.com to find deals.
Things to consider are noise, temps, power-on time, etc. For myself, temps are fairly consistent in my case and it’s in a closet so I don’t care about noise. I also don’t need particularly fast access on the HDDs (I use an nvme cache strategy as well) so I can pretty much use whatever. Your needs might differ.
The motive behind Jovanovic’s actions was reportedly her fear that motherhood would jeopardise her professional career as a lawyer for a prestigious car brand.
It is a bit depressing how many guys in this thread don’t understand what pregnancy and childbirth can do to someone. Side effects may include: suicidal and homicidal urges. Google Postpartum Psychosis and Postpartum Depression.
Everyone is asking but why didn’t she act in a sane way and give it up for adoption? Well, there are good odds she needed something prescribed to her to allow her to be sane. Pregnant people’s bodies are undergoing major chemical changes, labor opens the floodgates. Which is why it is very important to make it easy and stigma free to let everyone out of the queue who does not want to ride the ride, and make healthcare accessible to those that do.
That seems like an odd sentiment. I’m no Trump supporter, but I can imagine a mindset of “hold on, my family died supporting you and you’re going to give up?”
It's a racist troll account that was created less than an hour ago. You see them once in a while. Odd that it chose this community to attack, but I suppose the idea is to find the places where it will be most unwelcome.

Historically, all the force, money, and power the cops abuse are why the Templar Knights were eventually tried and burned at the stake for sex crimes, theft, and satanism. Same shit; different century.
Oddly enough the Knights were tortured to death for their hypocritically evil sexually perverse behavior. I don’t see that happened to these pigs any time soon though. But they will torture and murder you for doing nothing but having a bad day.
According to the alternative data platform Quiver Quantitative, replicating Nancy Pelosi’s stock trades would have yielded returns exceeding 720% since May 2014.
The State only allows us to charge $15/hour for staff time for PIRs, so we can’t just hire someone or ask an employee to work an extra 20 hours a week for a year to pull some documents the requestor won’t even read.
The thing is lots of these ludicrous requests are made by right-wing lobbyists who try to make us spend 80 grand on a pointless request so they can point out how the city is wasting money. They create problems so they can get the state to remove our ability to make local Ordinances.
For legitimate requests, we go out of our way to meet them. I’ve spent a lot of time digging through paper files from the 1920s to help citizens.
But most of our requests are either automated bullshit from realtors looking for cheap land, insurance companies looking for who to advertise to, contractors looking for work, lobbyists looking to stir up shit, or, oddly enough, lawn service companies.
For those requests, we do what’s legally required and not a damn thing more.

When the first settler party lands in a dry yet well fertilised hole all is seemingly well, but after a while strange slippery secretions start to emerge all over the hole, unusually sulphuric pockets of moon gas erupt from time to time, small veiny red colourations appear at the edge of the hole, but everyone is just exited at all the new wonders and discoveries they are the first humans to witness.
Until all goes to shit - the hole closes like an … let’s say brown iris of sorts, they lose all coms & mass hysteria with delusions of thiccnes affects the entire base. Soon settlers start attacking each other with violent and uncontrolled outbursts of aggressive twerking or deadly farting. Not long after settlers physiology starts to change radically and distinctly; the fast “farters” develop a sort of ass-guns, while the slower “twerkers” atrophy all other body parts except of massive, juicy, and impossibly strong gluteus maximi.

Patients log, 1620 hours, day 69, Dr Semen, lead scientists of the spelunker team, unscheduled appointment:
“I keep having this visions, doctor. They keep repeating, now even when Im wide awake. Its always a visage of two moons, about equal in size, one slightly overlapping another. They look like our Moon, but there are two of them!!”
“And how does that make you feel?”
“Idk Copilot_D0c_v0.245, I feel nothing really, completely empty perhaps. But I do remember them being oddly erotic.”
“Erotic? The succulent soft globes of the seductive Lu… I mean moons?”
“What? Yes, I guess.
But Im here today because I fear by condition may be rapidly accelerating. I have no explanation for it. The medic gave me a full scan and found nothing - all STDs within normal parameters.”
“You have said your “condition” is accelerating? Are you unfit to perform your work duti-”
“No, no! I can perform normally, don’t dock my daily oxygen ratings rations!”
“Proceed with your report please.”
“My “report”? This is a confidential and encrypted session, right?”
“Yes, naturally, we at Devil’s Taint Inc™ respect your privacy and your wellbeing is of our outmost importance.”
" . . .
So my vision, I have to tell someone, maybe it’s a warning, a premonition? …
I keep seeing the two moons, they are ever so slowly getting closer and they keep moving up and down, in a steady rhythmic motion … They also move somewhat apart when on the downward curve only to violently slam together at their topmost point, seemingly cancelling each other whorizontal momentum but resulting in catastrophic shockwaves!! Nothing in the vicinity could survive that kind of power! It’s a warning, I know it is!!"
[Dr Semen can be heard sobbing]
" Unscheduled health check complete.
Your were found to be fit for work and shall resume with your shifts as scheduled.
And try to remember, there is only one Moon, The great Clappening isn’t prophesied to happen for another millennia or so.
This session is now terminated, have a pleasant rest of the day"
I’m not disputing that they want to use AI. I’m disputing the idea that the military doesn’t care about climate change. Climate change will cause instability and greatly increase the odds of them having to actually fight. As much as the military enjoys a good flex now and then, they generally prefer to win without fighting.
Well, it seemed from your comment that you just expected this to work without tinkering. However, now you admit to be tinkering? This is a rather confusing story. When I’m tinkering, I’m exploring and expecting to run into edge cases or unsupported environments. Linux may be great, but it’s just a kernel with GNU on top to help build the larger OS. I believe the attitude towards linux is a bit misguided. It is a great tool, and its strengths mainly lie in the freedom of usage that allows for both fine-tune control and automatibility. I say windows and MacOS are strictly non automatable environments unless you venture into the developer side, and that will undoubtedly bring some with it some problems. As such, many systems that require the user to be more hands off and operate with high uptime will use Linux kernels. Being able to automate the process with minimal user input is essential in the performance and reliability of critical systems demand.
Again, I did not wish to be condemning your actions and rather alert you to the differing problems these tools are made to solve. MacOs and thereby its hardware was geared towards being an apple only product that is only properly supported by apple, and the problem it solves is to be a tool for rich and self-conscious individuals.
Windows was created to be a home and enterprise OS that can be used in almost any system that is quite an outstanding feat, but it really is because of the number of developers and users offer the ability for things to work. Mind you that even Windows was not made to be extremely automatable. yet there are tools being created to offer automating tasks, but many are closed source and tied to requiring funding. I even ran into some odd issues every once in a while.
Linux was expressly made to be a minimal system that offered high uptime and high automatibility that was free for everyone to contribute or use. This allows users and admins to set up their systems to be more hands-off when it came to tasks that were extremely time-consuming or continually have to be worked on without deadline while keeping costs low. It is just recently that Linux-based distributions are able to make use of features and packages that are geared to users who need to make manual tasks. Wayland is finally being more stable, driver support from large manufacturers, and even emulation of Windows APIs with use of proton/wine is getting better. Thus offering users the ability to do manual tasks and mix custom made automated scripts/tools into their environments.
Many see the hype and equate it to being able to use Linux systems like they did with the very much well funded manual systems that Windows and MacOS offered. Instead, Linux is just a tool and can be useful when it is needed.
They confiscated the portal tech and shipped it away in crates marked classified and with the Daystrom Institute logo.
Wesley said Solum needed to invent that tech so that the Protostar could be sent back in time. So the Federation clearly didn’t have anything like it yet.
What are the odds this is the precursor to the portal tech stolen and used by Vadic in Picard season 3?
The cheaty gameplay isn’t that bad, as long as it’s not the first playthrough. It’s definitely way too easy to give you a sense of accomplishment against all odds, but it also allows you to skip all the grind and the sidequests that you should’ve already done (as those, AFAIK, have no Lea-dependent dialogue).
I didn’t know Iconoclasts was usually compared to CrossCode!
I can’t really see any similarities. It’s a great game, definitely on the level of CC if a bit less git gud in nature, but the only similarity I can think of is both games using pixel art.
