Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined (variety.com)

It’s disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines. A “cost of doing business” for the corporate aristocrats. This is the threat the upper class uses on the rest of us,...

Here’s one nice list which also reflects the status of their usefulness. Physical availability varies widely, though.

No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections (yle.fi)

Finland’s results in the European election bucked a continent-wide trend of rising support for parties on the outer fringe of right-wing politics, with the Left Alliance and the National Coalition winning big at the expense of the nationalist Finns Party....

I think it’s more like a door slam without a door.

Never had very bad experiences.

Once, asleep, I opened my eyes as I heard footsteps going around the room, come next to my bed, stop for a while, then walk out again. I could see nobody in the room. After the steps in the hall stopped, I could wake up and get up. It was early but I didn’t really feel like trying to sleep any more.

XTL ,

Fall asleep.

Well, I guess it does technically eventually happen to me sometimes somehow. But not when it should.

XTL ,

There’s two ways to really do two things at once. Either you find a way to make them one more complex thing in your mind, or you juggle your focus between them.

This is good for things like reading aloud, reading music, playing two rhythms with different limbs, dancing or other choreography etc.

Istr that there’s some genetics involved in which way your legs like to bend. I’ve always bent easily in that direction. I can sit in full lotus easily or e.g. sit on in the floor, legs ahead with heels together and bend forward and rest my forehead on my feet. And there’s many stretches that do nothing for me because I run out of motion before anything gets tight. But legs wider apart, I can almost not sit upright at all. I’m not a flexible person over all.

It’s kind of hard to describe, but anyway. Took me until I was many many years old until a yoga instructor told me it kind of varies from person to person how easy some motions are.

Suffering animals are the worst.

And show by example that lying and arbitrary cruelty is ok, especially from a position of authority.

Worst possible space efficiency and somewhat tricky routing. Lots of parts and complexity. But arguably the best performance and balance if you can deal with the cost and mass. Not uncommon, see Lamborghini, Porsche.

Pretty much obsolete at the top tier, though, since electric motors can trivially distribute the weight and drive even better.

XTL ,

That’s a very optimistic wording on front engine and traction since it’s actually the worst option. It’s not quite wrong to call it good, as it’s usually good enough.

Also 4wd is just flat out unnecessary waste except for some extreme condition. I live in the land of ice and snow and 4wd would be nice, but unnecessary, for about one week a year. Rest of the time it’s just weight, cost, and ecological waste. For most passenger cars, it’s a bad compromise.

The most evil company that ever existed needs it. So you will have it by default.

Also, you don’t need to write it down correctly, if you remember what’s the missing or different or fake bit. And you can write down a few decoy ones next to it. Or have it in two different places. Lots of room for obfuscation along with some good old fashioned physical security on where you store the note. And the backup note off-site, if you’re that kind of person.

Hell, just make some extra decoy ones just for fun and practice.

It is important. And in this case, it’s even exactly what it says on the label. As long as you know what a fund and an exchange are.

Cats in particular don’t complain. If they’re sick, they are more likely to hide and rest. If your cat is quiet or passive, it’s probably not doing well.

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

Would be funny if it wasn’t complete bs. Except for the amazing time part.

I was just thinking that sounds potentially wholesome.

Or they just don’t care to give out any information. Which is apparently pretty normal for Iran.

That seems to be the new news after a day or so.

Sounds like a title for an interesting album/book.

A pot of gold explaining the rules to you about it ringing a bell would definitely be even more suspicious than a random naked woman.

Makes sense. But that would not make me less suspicious.

What else than a bot ever asks you to verify you’re human?

GSMArena | Sony Xperia 10 VI review (www.gsmarena.com)

Got to agree with the conclusion of the review, while this seems like a decent offering (and I personally like the “retro” look), for Є400, you might as well get a A55 with a much better screen and probably longer security support (Android OS updates aren’t that important these days).

all the increased train traffic that the satellites are recording are just empty trains

Well, that actually would be plausible. If they had the fuel.

Cats also have insanely sensitive and wide frequency hearing. It might notice some sort of coil or switcher whine or other noise that wasn’t there before.

I just got a second one because it was peanuts and came with two good controllers while mine are all kind of subtly broken.

I do actually have a PS4 with 5 controllers because once bit. I don’t know if I’ll find the time, but if I feel like playing something stuck on the three like infamous or demons souls, I can.

Maybe I’ll get the 5 one day. And maybe I’ll find that emulation can solve the old title problem.

XTL ,

PS2 didn’t have networking apart from the odd firewire port and a very expensive devkit.

Oh, I forgot the slim existed. Interesting that someone took advantage of that.

There should be a way to give directly to the developers

I realize that, after all this time, I have never payed for my all-time favorite games I grew up playing (Fallout 3 & Skyrim). I can pay for it, but I really do not want to pay the money to the Bethesda’s marketing team, CEO, and whoever bullshit middle man who wants a cut of that. I want to give directly to the team that made...

A programmer is a device for turning caffeine into code (to borrow a math joke).
