All over the place in Europia. From train station to public parks, in multiple countries, it is somewhat common for a turnstile with a coin slot for a small charge. Doesn’t bother me if it allows for cleaner, safer facilities and keeps the riff raff out.

Humans are incredible at filtering, therefore a solution can float right on by if it isn’t the “right one”. Also solutions to most problems come by as a result of completely unrelated activity. Therefore it is incredibly important to be doing something, anything that isn’t directly destructive to your goals.

Damn, I did not know Ket could depress respiration like this! In fact Ket is used medicinally in place of opioids as it doesn’t depress respiration. But here is the TIL part: it should not be mixed with benzos or alcohol (or other depressants I would imagine). I don’t use bu I hope someone who does get to read this.

I desperately want to watch his 8 hour analysis of Starfield but am scared of the commitment.

Oh that’s perfectly fine then! Thanks for taking the load off my mind.

I have noticed this trend of whatever Israel is accusing others of perpetuating, it is usually heavily involved in itself.

History began on October 7th and not one day before.

Users not reading shit I can understand but it makes my blood boil when it your own bloody colleagues.

Apologies for the late reply, still getting a hang of this!

By multiple devices issues I meant the following. Sometimes for example, I am on a Teams call on my phone but want to use my laptop to view screensharing stuff and join the call there too (without hanging up the phone). Teams will insist that my audio switch over to the laptop too and I have to manually disable the audio on the laptop and re-enable it on the phone. It shocks me that such a mature offering from a massive corporation still cannot figure out that I may want a screenshare/audio split onto two devices and ask me at least. Another smaller nag, if I want audio only on the phone, it will constantly bug me to tell me the incoming video is switched off. I kind of understand this however, I get that they want to let the average user know why there is no incoming video, but surely there ought to be a “leave me alone” setting for this.

Did someone say beans?

It has indeed improved a lot over the last 2 years or so and is now actually quite a mature product, as much as I hate to admit that about an MS product. My biggest gripes with it are its refusal to acknowledge you may be using multiple devices (to this day) and MS’s insistence that a person only do one thing at one time (can’t edit calendar items while checking a chat, for example). Their Linux app is a joke and I’m better off running it from Chrome. The phone app makes the WiFi interface crash constantly and I have to run it off 4G; it is the only app I have this issue with.

Which brings me to another gripe. Teams documentation insists that screen sharing on Linux is not supported, and sure enough you cannot see the option for it while on a call with someone. However if you are in a meeting (with however many people), the option magically appears and works absolutely perfectly.

Bravo 👏🏼

People by their very definition are narrative. If one has ever taken an action that effected another, they are part of ‘the’ narrative.

Nah dude, fuck the other side too for real just to be clear. The truth is what it is and it stings.

I’m not denying the “other side” isn’t equally brainwashed, I was only relaying my experiences.

A world class intelligence agency, which would normally know the contents and length of your bowel movement, totally shits the bed and lets an egregious attack play out, while their media assets chalk it up to a “failure of imagination” .

Where have I seen this one before?

No way, they have taped conversation from Hamas operatives admitting culpability.

Having met many Israelis, no they do not. They (for the most part) swallow the government propaganda hook line and sinker.

Chill dog, this ain’t Israel. No one is buying that horseshit.
