Yes, I really wanted to buy something like that, the first time I heard about it. But then, looking through stores, seeing these second-hand mini-sneses being at least 35 pounds, s…

I guess it's a cultural thing + buyer's remorse or how you call it, since that's what you've been exposed to for the most of your life. I grew up in the other part of the world, th…

Imagine you're 38 years old, you go like a normal person to a normal persons job interview. Now your new employer obviously doesn't have access to your DNA, but he has an active su…

As a matter of fact, never heard of "boeuf bourgignon", so I had to check it's wiki page. 1. Fry meat + > (givin' it's a french dish). 2. Once done, smash some whatever red wine on…

As an example, once I bought a fresh jar of olives, but I forgot I already had like 1/3 leftover jar in the fridge. So I started wondering what I could make, so given olives are as…

I don't think it's a stretch, he put it much better words than I could have done. P.S. For cooking I've been using exclusively wikipedia for the last 3-5 years. It's actually amazi…

I'd rather encourage people to post useful things on their own sites. Maybe, hopefully, one day, both google and other search engines might start penalizing content farms and have …

I started making something similar back in the time when I was trying to learn some php (self-hosted LAMP setup). Stopped mostly because I wasn't able to find a proper English dict…

I've been logged in into the same google account for at least 10 years. Google knows exactly who I am, and what I am/want/etc. Yet the moment I landed in the UK, suddenly, I'm Engl…

Googling exactly "herpes covid" from my IP, gives 10/10 papers on the first page. On second page, I got 4 more papers, a paper disproving it, one reuters article about misuse of an…

What strikes me, this was done in early 2021, yet the propaganda machine is still going strong with that whole persistent cough and fever thing... It's like there are entire establ…

This is what I was talking about.. Sonos basically reinvented my Samsung remote. (+ the 8 meter cable I made as a 14 year old kid so I can connect it to the TV which was on the oth…

I'm in the same vein as the OP you're replying.. I got a cheap HIFI (I think) Samsung system from 20+ years ago (paid $100 second-hand at that time), I use it as an amplifier throu…

1. - Not OP, but I believe the moment you put some music/radio on speakers for other people to listen, legally, you become a broadcaster. You can't just play anything you want, you…

> You really think that owner operators repair their own trucks? That doesn't make any economic sense. This is not a hobby, they need to drive to make money not to play truck repai…

> A large part of the justification of using outsourced workers is that they live in an area with a lower cost of living than the company's headquarters, so they can be paid less w…

By "proper ID" you mean the right kind of country ID, I assume? Cause I've been denied by two banks, the third bank even had two countries blacklisted.. that's right, on their offi…

This only works if you fit that stereotypical definition of what a "normal" person looks like or does. As soon as you deviate even a little from the norm, suddenly you got problems…

As a long time foobar user, when switching to linux I only found quodlibet to be able to sort by multiple columns at the same time, quite buggy but kinda works, for a few days, the…

For my entire life I've tried to become a programmer, went as far as studying CS for three years, never managed to get a diploma as I ran into some financial and health issues... y…

So if you left open the front door of a police station and I enter to see how an unrelated part of the building is built, and accidentally grab a gun I see on somebody's desk.. the…

I believe what we've got today in most countries is pretty ok, maybe ambiguous but it does the job as far as an ethically concerned person would go. In my country they classify it …

> Very fun times storing your home-work on a disk, bringing the disk to school and being unable to read it. Very common problem. I never had that while growing up. Used floppies fo…
